A good men’s barber is a man’s most important relationship. They’re not just there to cut hair – they’re great listeners and even better givers of advice. Especially when that advice is about hair. Oh yes, and they’re masters of taming an unruly or uncooperative beard, an essential skill nowadays.
Men’s beards have become far more than just facial hair; they are a fashion statement for men just as much as hairstyles and cuts are for women. Many men try growing a beard at some point in their lives, but it can be harder than it looks to get full-looking facial hair. If this is your first time growing out your facial hair, you may have noticed uneven patches in certain areas when you look in the mirror. Luckily, our beard experts are on hand to help you get the hipster-worthy facial hair of your dreams.
You might have heard that shaving encourages the growth of new hair. Surprise! It’s a myth. Shaving off your facial hair won’t cause your beard to grow back thicker. To spare you the suffering and anguish, we’ll say it again to emphasize the point: if you’re growing out your beard, avoid shaving.
To help you shape and groom your beard, a beard trimmer, brush, comb, and balm are essential tools for beard styling. You could keep all of the necessary equipment on hand, or you could rather put your beard in the hands of the experts. A good barber will take all the stress out of your beard maintenance, both while you’re growing it out and once it’s at your goal length.
In addition, a well-chosen haircut that complements the contours of your face can provide the illusion of a fuller, thicker beard. Next time you are at your men’s barber, don’t forget to let them know about your beard goals, even if you’re just there for a haircut. Sometimes, all it takes to change your appearance is a fast reshaping by a master’s hand.
Brushing your beard is another excellent method for promoting facial hair growth and enhancing the appearance of a patchy beard as it grows. Using a beard brush daily facilitates the release of natural oils from the skin into the facial hair. Additionally, it aids in exfoliation, removing dead skin cells from the skin’s surface.
Using the same exfoliating technique, the modest beard brush can help lessen uncomfortable, irritated skin beneath your beard, giving your skin plenty of room to breathe and regenerate new cells. Ask your barber about whether beard brushing is included in their barbershop services.
Your hair needs specific vitamins and nutrients to grow well and look its best, and that includes beard hair. To get your beard on point, you might need to take a look at your diet.
Vitamin A is especially important for encouraging hair growth because it supports cell growth throughout your body. It also aids in the production of sebum, an oily fluid that maintains the health of your skin and hair follicles. Staying hydrated will help to keep your skin moist and healthy, a good home for a bushy beard.
To achieve a fuller beard, you must be patient and consistent. Keep going until you’ve given each step the time and attention it deserves! Additionally, ensure you have the appropriate tools for the work and – most importantly – an expert men’s barber to support and guide you when needed.
Regular visits to your favorite men’s barbershop will keep your style on point throughout the growing process and give you access to expert advice along the way. Your barber can recommend products or supplements to help you get to the beard of your dreams. And once it’s growing wild, bring your beard along to your local Premium Barbershop for some professional shaping and TLC.
