How to grow beard naturally

Smart ways to grow beard naturally!

If your father or grandfather had less facial hair, then there’s a high probability that you might have the same beard growth pattern. Thanks to the genes! 

But, is there a way to get a naturally fuller beard? Yes, absolutely! Using the right growth tips, home remedies, and grooming products, you might be able to house a fuller beard over time. However, growing a beard is a dedicated task and requires a lot of patience. 

But before discussing how to grow beard naturally, it's important to understand what are the factors that affect your beard growth. 

Factors affecting beard growth

If you're struggling to grow a dense beard naturally, then these could be the reasons you need to factor in - 

• Age
  Beard starts to grow in your 20s. Since hair growth is a time taking process, you will experience a dense beard when you reach your 30s. This may vary from individual to individual but beard does start growing after you’ve attained a certain age. So, be patient as it will take time!
• Testosterone levels
  Testosterone is also responsible for natural beard growth. Basically, low testosterone means slower hair growth. In fact, those who have an extremely low level of testosterone have quite less facial hair. Consult your doctor if any symptoms arise.
• Genetics
  Genetics is found to be a common factor in determining beard growth. The thickness and growth of your facial hair depend upon your genetics. If your father has thick facial hair, then you'll probably have a thick beard too. 
• Stress
  Stress and tension are known to be major causes of hair fall. Cortisol is a substance formed during stress that affects your hair health and makes your hair follicles weak, which fall out easily. This applies to beard hair too.
