Will Beard Patches Fill In? Your Guide to a Fuller Beard
READ TIME: 1 MINUTE. If you stare at those patchy areas in your beard wondering if they will ever fill in, you’re not alone. There are men all over the world in this situation. However, people tend to overlook a few basics, so let me share what can help and set realistic expectations about your beard journey.
It’s not all genetics
It’s true, genetics play a massive role in how your beard grows. If your dad or grandad could grow a great beard, the chances are better for you. But don't lose heart yet! If your chin looks like it has more skin showing than hair, there are ways to encourage growth.
Be patient
Beard hair grows about half an inch (1.25cm) per month, but it’s not going to all come in at the same rate. Some areas might sprout faster than others, making early growth stages look patchy. Patience is the key here, people tend to tap out too early and shave. Often, patches can fill in or become less noticeable over time as the rest of your beard grows.
How’s your lifestyle?
You can’t change your DNA, but you can optimise what you've got. Here’s how:
-
Diet: The fuel you put in your body plays a huge role. Foods rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E and packed with protein and omega-3 fatty acids can help hair growth. For example: fish, eggs, avocados, and nuts.
-
Hydration: Drink plenty of water. Hydration helps in regulating the body systems that impact hair growth.
-
Exercise: Regular workouts increase blood flow, helping nutrients reach those follicle roots.
Braw Beard care
Don’t skip beard care. You will hear a lot of men say “You don’t need that overpriced shit”. The first thing I’d do after hearing that is look at their beard and then the amount of beard dandruff on their t-shirt. 99% of the time, they’d benefit from high-quality beard care. Using products like Braw Beard Oils doesn’t just make your beard smell great; they provide the nutrients your beard needs to look its best. Here’s what you can do:
-
Cleanse: Use Braw Beard Wash regularly to keep the skin beneath your beard clean and unclogged.
-
Nourish: Apply Braw Beard Oil or Balm to keep the hair moisturised and less brittle, making your beard appear fuller and more uniform.
Insider tricks
Here are a couple of tricks to help you along:
-
Brushing: Regularly brushing your beard with our boar bristle brush can stimulate blood flow and encourage growth. It also exfoliates the skin underneath to give the hair the best opportunity to grow.
-
Styling: As your beard grows, consider styling techniques that make it appear fuller or cover patchy areas. For example, using Braw Beard butter to give the hair some hold and use the brush to steer the hair to cover less dense areas.
Manage Expectations
It's important to manage expectations. Not every patchy beard fills in completely, but most can improve significantly with the proper care and patience. And remember, many men rock the rugged, slightly patchy look with confidence and style.
Thank you for reading; I hope it has been helpful.
