Here are a lot of tricks you can apply to have the lustrous and full beard you desire:

Take care of your skin

Healthy skin is the foundation of a healthy, thick beard. That’s why you’re going to need a good moisturizer.

Cleaning and washing your face regularly will stimulate circulation, exfoliate the skin, remove dead skin cells that are causing ingrown hairs, and open up your pores.

A good moisturizer keeps your skin healthy. In return, you’ll notice increased beard growth, which leads to thicker beard over time.

Start exercising

The first thing you can do to improve the quality of your beard is exercising on a regular basis. This is the solid foundation in which you need to build upon to grow thicker hair, so start by losing some of that excess weight you have.

Although all exercises help your beard grow thicker in one way or another, some of them are more helpful than the rest.

Cardio workouts, brisk walking, running, cycling, and dance are proven to make your beard thicker in a faster manner.

Reduce stress

When you are stressing about everything in your life, you increase the cortisol in your body. This will have a negative impact on testosterone development.

The stress also can constrict the blood vessel, making it more challenging for the nutrients in the blood to get to the hair follicles, improving beard circulation in the process.

Men who are trying to grow a thicker beard may find it especially harmful because it disrupts their sleep pattern. Not getting enough sleep directly affects your facial hair, making it more challenging to grow thicker.

Start with meditation and let that stress simply melt away. You will be amazed at how much your facial hair will improve after you work at eliminating any stress from your life.

Get enough rest

In order to increase testosterone in the body, your body simply needs to sleep. Sleeping helps the body to regenerate testosterone, especially if you are getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night.

If you are getting enough sleep, your stress will decrease, and your facial hair will benefit.

Improve your diet

A vitamin-rich diet consists of eating more vegetables. These vegetables are packed with all the minerals and vitamins that your body needs to stay healthy.

Some of the foods you should incorporate into your diet are eggs, nuts, and kale. These will increase testosterone production and give your beard that luxurious thicker appearance.

Take supplements

Stimulating hair growth can be as simple as taking supplements in addition to a well-balanced diet.

It is important to know that copper, zinc, magnesium, vitamin B, iron, vitamin D, and vitamin E all play crucial roles in growing thicker hair.

Along with these supplements, experts recommend taking biotin every day to grow your beard thicker.

Other supplements that can increase your beard’s thickness are vitamins B6 and C, as well as beta-carotene, nettle, and flaxseed oil.

Apply beard oil regularly

Good beard oil moisturizes your facial hair and skin underneath while eliminating beard itch and dandruff along the way.

When choosing a beard oil to grow your beard thicker, go for the one that includes jojoba oil. Jojoba oil is similar to sebum that your skin produces, thus making your beard appear fuller and thicker over time.

Trim your beards properly

If you insist on shaping or better said trimming your beard before the 4-week mark, you might want to consider going to a professional barber with significant experience in dealing with beards.

You’re going to need a reliable beard trimmer. The good thing to remember is that you should first define your neckline, and then shape the rest of the beard.

Stay hydrated

Drinking enough water daily, which is about half your weight in ounces, will help you flush out toxins from your body.

This will make your skin hydrated, and healthier skin means healthier and thicker beard. This one may seem obvious to some, but you will be surprised how many men are not doing it.

Shampoo and condition your beards

You know how the hairs on your head benefit from using a good and natural shampoo and conditioner? The same goes for your beard.

After applying the conditioner thoroughly through your facial hair, leave it for a couple of minutes to do its job. Sliding your hand through the beard will help you determine when is the time to wash it off.

When you notice that your beard feels smoother and silkier, and your hands effortlessly glide through your beard, the conditioner can be removed.

Using quality conditioner from time to time will strengthen your facial hair and make your beard look fuller and thicker.
