How To Add Volume To Your Beard

Different trends and fashions come and go, but one fad that has remained in for so many is men's beards. Many men find it difficult to grow a thick or long beard and many reasons are associated with it. They are looking for tips to make their beard fuller and thicker and we are here with some methods to avoid thin and wispy hair growing. First, take a look at the important features of the beard that demands attention;

Thickness: Thickness means how much hair you have in your beard

Length: How many inches of your facial hair is away from your face?

Liveliness or vibrancy: Vibrancy means the health and life of your beard.

Reasons for thin beard:

There exist a combination of factors that contribute to the growth of thin and wispy hair.

• Genes play a key role in the thickness and length of a beard. If your father and grandfather had good hair, then it is more likely that you will receive this good gene.

• The level of testosterone is directly proportional to the thickness, volume, and length of the beard. Testosterone induces the hair follicles to sprout out healthy hair.

• Other factors like diet, lifestyle, environment, and stress level also have a direct or indirect influence on facial hair growth.

There is a common misconception among men that growing a long beard will make it appear denser if they have a thin beard. This long beard, but with bald patches, does not look normal, and classy. Therefore, it is not advisable to grow your beard out if you have a thin beard — in fact, try to focus on adding volume to your beard. This requires lots of patience, time, and commitment, but it is worth all of this.

Even if you have low testosterone level or genetic issue, try out our following methods and change your beard game altogether.

If you want to add instant mass and volume to your beard, then beard fillers should be your foremost choice. Here are different types of beard fillers according to the beard length.

This may sound like boring or useless advice if you are trying to or want to grow a long beard. But always keep one thing in mind growing a short or a stubble beard is always a good option than a long, wispy, thin beard. Many celebrities and famous style icons keep their beards quite short if they have patch spots and thin hair. If your facial coverage is good but your hair is weak and wispy, then sticking to a short beard style is always a wise idea.

Two oils i.e peppermint oil and castor oil can do magic on facial hairs.

• 3 % peppermint oil boosts beard growth by improving the blood circulation and production of IGF-1 hormones inside the hair follicles, which in turn increases the diameter of the follicles.

• Castor oil, because of its thick consistency, naturally adds volume to the preexisting beard hairs. It contains ricinoleic acid, increases the level of prostaglandin E2 and has been proven to improve hair growth.

The best way to take advantage of these two oils is to mix the two in beard oil. Fill a one oz bottle full with beard oil and add 18 to 20 drops of carrier oil.

Taking supplements along with the diet is very important for natural and quick volume gain. Copper, iron, magnesium, zinc, Vitamin B, D, E all are crucial for the good volume and thickness of the beard. Health experts also recommend biotin, beta-carotene, nettle, and vitamin B6 with these supplements.

Supplements have proven excellent in filling the patchy areas and making the beard fuller and thicker in less time. Including the supplements in the diet will bring visible results in your overall look, not just your beard.
