But now the good news: You can still do a lot through your behavior to ensure that your beard hair grows . We have put together a few tips for you in this regard.

Enough rest

Maybe it's just a coincidence, but most of the bearded people we know are pretty relaxed and well-adjusted people. The fact is that Calmness and enough sleep have a positive effect on hair growth . The main reason for this is the hormone testosterone, which makes hair sprout better . However, when you are stressed or lack sleep, your body significantly reduces testosterone production. This in turn causes less hair to grow. Chilling is also a must when shaving. Although the rumor persists, frequent shaving does not accelerate beard growth.

Do sports

“No sports” is Winston Churchill’s oft-quoted advice. However, if you look at photos of the former British Prime Minister, you will see his smooth chin without a single hair.

However, please do not follow the motto “a lot helps a lot”. If you apply the cream too thickly, it can clog the skin pores and have a counterproductive effect on beard growth.

Most other drugs also slow down hair growth. An exception here is caffeine. This is even good for hair growth. So you can easily treat yourself to a few cups of coffee or tea every day.
