Only a handful of men can grow a full and wholesome thick bear in the first few years itself after they have started growing out facial beard, and this includes those people who have good beard genes. Beard Genes? Yes it’s a thing. Like all other physical attributes of a human body, genes also play a significant role is the amount and type of facial hair grown on the body. The critical thing is that proper beard growth needs a lot of time and patience to reach its full potential.
In the twenties, beard is still developing and up until one has reached the age of thirty, one can expect fully developed and thick beard. If that does not happen, one should clearly take it as a sign that beard is not in their genes. But one should not be discouraged with this fact just yet, one can still make beard appear more prominent and thicker even if they cannot control the rate at which beard grows.
The Four Week Beard Rule
If an individual is growing out his beard for the first time, or growing it again after shaving the face clean they must follow the four-week rule. The four-week beard rule asks the guys to grow their beard continuously and consistently by not shaving or trimming or impacting the beard so as to not miss out on the beard’s full potential. But the sad thing and most common thing is people get extremely restless and they do things that impede the beard growth without letting it reach its full potential. One of the biggest reasons why people give up growing beard is because of the beard itching, which begins at two to three week point, and they ultimately end up trimming and shaving the beard hair without letting it become thick.
Reasons for the beard itch:-
1) The first reason why the beard itching happens is because of the poor and unhygienic grooming habits, the skin is not moisturized at all and it itched when the hair follicles are piercing through.
2) The second reason is as the new hairs grow, they cause slight irritation in the facial cheek areas. This itching will stop in a few days but most people cannot tolerate this and give up on their beard sooner or later.
The trick to growing a thicker beard is to be able to get past this four week point which is when one can see that on the empty skin patches the hair has started to fill in the gaps. One has to be very patient when it comes to beard growth. Some things to take care of while growing one’s beard in this one month period is that they should wash their beard regularly but not over wash it; washing it daily will make the beard to dry out and become more prone to damage. Regularly applying beard oil can help the individual to deal with the beard itch as well as grow the beard hair softer and healthier.
