OK boys. Face it, women sometimes like a manly beard. But do you have what it takes? It requires patience, persistence, (and just enough testosterone) to pull it off.
- The first step in growing a beard is deciding to grow one. This is no trifling matter. Growing a beard takes at least 4 weeks including enduring an uncomfortable itchy period and having to answer ridiculous questions like: “Are you trying to grow a beard?” from your friends and colleagues.
- Don’t shave. Despite the popularly held belief, shaving will not make your beard grow faster or thicker.
- Pick a time when you can get a running start like at the beginning of a vacation or even a long weekend.
- Resist the urge to trim or shape the beard. Let it grow as much as possible before shaving, even if you are going for the “goatee” look. The hairs on your face will be in various stages of growth; not all are actively growing at the same time, so you have to be patient to see where it will fill in and where it won’t.
- What if your beard is spotty? Unlike your scalp, the hair on your face will not cover every inch. Some men will have hair from their eyeballs to their neck. If you’re this guy, then feel free to shave areas to shape it. Most men will have some areas that are spotty or thin, like on their cheeks and chin. This is determined by genetic and hormonal factors. There is little you can do about it, so work with what you’ve got.
- What about applying Rogaine (minoxidil) to your face? Minoxidil is a drug that was used to lower blood pressure until it was found it also grows hair. In topical form, it causes hair growth on the scalp of men and women with hereditary hair loss. Why it works is not really known. In theory, Rogaine could help you grow a beard, but this is never been shown in studies, nor is it FDA approved for facial hair. Applying Rogaine (minoxidil) to your face would likely be irritating and can also cause acne. If ingested or if applied in excessive amounts, it could cause serious side effects like a drop in your blood pressure.
- Biotin is a dietary supplement known to help with hair and nail growth. Consider taking 2.5 mg of biotin each day.
- You might find that growing a beard gives you an itchy, red, scaly rash on your face. Try using a little dandruff shampoo like Head and Shoulders on your beard two or three times each week. You can also apply a mild over the counter steroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% once a day.
- When your beard starts growing, the hairs are often stiff at first; they will soften over time. Consider using a mild steroid like hydrocortisone 1% everyday to help with the itching.
- After 4 to 6 weeks you should have a good idea what your beard will look like. If after 6 weeks you find people saying: “Oh, are you trying to grow a beard?” consider the clean-shaven look.

Hi. I’m 16 years old and im starting to have like a vague beard on both sides.. im just asking how much beard growth do u need already to start growing it.. A beard would be cool
You are a little young. You should have hair on all parts of your face below your eye level (of course the nose is excluded
and if you don’t have much on the upper cheeks it’s okay) before you begin growing it. If there are naked spots on your chin or under the jaw and the sides of the jawline, the result won’t be a beard… Wait until the point when if you stay unshaved for a week, the stabble covers an area worthy of having a beard and then let it grooooooooow! (also be sure to shave your neck clean up to the point where the jaw makes the angle with your neck.)
I am 5 and have a full beard – haha… What a world we live in…as if you can wave a magic wand and fix a patchy beard. Man up and stay shaven and stop whining!

Hi im 14 and have decent sideburns with some stubble growing on my chin and neck. Im trying to grow a beard to make me look more mature and to also go with my hairstyle but the right side is thicker than the left but i dont want to shave because of the advice given so what can i do?
Guys: SHAVE.
I started doing it at 18, whether I have facial hair or not. At 23, I now have a noticeable patch on the bottom of my chin. I also started shaving my side burns and now they’ve gotten longer and almost started to connect to the hair under my chin. My mustache’s a bit slow, though it has gotten a bit thicker. I don’t do it every day though, I like to wait two weeks until they’ve settled in and shave it all off at once. It just feels more effective that way. I’m pretty certain I’ll be able to sport a full beard before turning 30.
Hope this helps…

i m 23 yrs old and am mmale, plz anyone help with facial hair i have none but little patch. gf say she left if i dont have hair!
Alright Josiah, if your girlfriend wants to leave you because you don’t have facial hair, she isn’t really into you. She most likely wants you for your money or your good looks (If you have them
). So I would definitely kick her ass out on the curb and tell her to get a job.

Just make your testosterone level grow. You can do it by wacthing action films^^ , but you have no guarantee. Or take some medicine: natural (like tribestan) or not (animal stak 2). The second one group is mostly used by bodybuilders, so I actually recommend you tribestan. There are 3 different choices from Tribestan R, Tribestan Plus and Tribestan Vita. Good luck!
