With the beard gang being the in-thing for men, growing beards has become the norm. These days, men go for facial hairs whether moustache or beard. However, not every male is blessed with beard probably because of their genes, hormones, nutrition and certain medications.

The good news is that you can still grow your beards regardless. Take note of the following tips:

1*Manage stress

Stress is one of the contributing factors of hair loss and will reverse the effects in men of any age. Protein gives your body the right nutrients to grow more hair, and sleep is the necessary time to put it all into place. Even drinking the recommended eight glasses of water a day will help keep the growth thick and healthy.

2*Don’t have unreasonable expectation

Don’t expect to wake up one morning with a fully-fledged beard, but you can begin to see growth over a few days. When tempted to shave it all off, remember that it will take time and that you are taking active steps in the right downward direction. Most men move out of the itchy, growing in phase by the end of the week, so focus on something else and it will arrive faster.

3*Work with what you have

Just because the beard is not super long yet, or where you want it to be, does not mean you can’t enjoy the growth that you have. Embrace each new growth phase as a time to test out new styles, and enjoy growing from stubble into substantial growth. Keeping the beard trim is also a great technique for creating the appearance of thicker, fuller hair.

4*Use beard products

If you suffer from patchy beards, using  beard products would give the appearance of thicker beards. This will immediately draw the eye to the area and make it look as if there is more hair than there is.

5*Groom your beards

Once you have grown your beard, keeping it in top condition will prevent the need to trim it off and start again. Castor oil is a great conditioning treatment that promotes hair growth and will keep your beard moving in the right direction. Apply castor oil at night before you go to bed (a towel will help prevent staining), and wash off in the morning. Stick to this routine for maximum results.
