Man and Beard

A beard is a symbol of masculinity. So many people try hard to grow a full beard or even a moustache. Because the beard shows a man’s majesty, pride, ferocity, seriousness and profundity more and more. Therefore, some men love to grow a beard because it enhances their appearance as well as their masculinity.

Personally, I am a bearded man and I like to grow a beard. But there are some people who don’t like to grow beard. Maybe with the job they do, they think it is not appropriate to grow a beard. But if you look at the history, most of the people who have grown beards are the elites and educated or intelligent people.

Well-known Leonardo da Vinci, a polymath, engineer, scientist, talented artist, theorist and architect, also grew a long beard. To give more examples, Aristotle, Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, Charles Darwin have grown beards. Are they ignorant and rascals?

At that time, maybe people with brains, elites and sages grew hair and beard as an identity. I don’t know exactly what to say about it. But today there is a very strange attitude towards a man’s beard and hair. If someone grows a beard, he is considered a rascal, an idler, an insignificant person.

If someone has a very well-trimmed beard and hair, that person may have more respect in the society. Society thinks that they are decent people who are very educated and do a reputable job.

Earlier even women liked bearded men, but nowadays many women prefer shaved men. That is how people have changed over time.

However, not every man grows a beard just because he is a man. Also, some men actually find it more attractive to be shaved than to grow a beard. So, no matter how much you want to grow a beard, think about whether the beard is really beautiful on your face.

If your beard makes you look like a gorilla or an orangutan, it’s best to shave. Don’t get me wrong about that. I mean, if you’re growing a beard to look better, there’s no point in growing a beard if you lose the look after growing it.

Types of Beard

There are many types of beard such as hippie-freakie, Rabbinical / Eastern orthodox, full beard, partial full beard, Pennsylvania Dutch etc. We are talking here about the two types; full bead and partial full bead. Generally we call this as full bead.

A full beard is a beard that grows well all over the face, is well trimmed and maintained. We are not talking about a beard that has grown without care and any maintenance.

Why is Your Beard not Growing?

A lot of things go into growing a good full thick beard. Mainly your genetic conditions affect this. Many things like your hormonal activity, mental ease, the food you eat, your age etc. affect this.

Maybe you are still 15 or 16 years old. That means you are still a teenager. You may be worried a lot about the various problems with your beard growth. Don’t worry about it in any way. For some people, the age of beard growth is different.

Your beard will grow well when you are around 18 or 20 years old, so be patient till then. But if the beard does not grow even after 20 or 22 years, there is a problem.

Maybe it’s a hormonal problem. If so, you can get treatment for it from a skilled doctor. But, it is difficult to think that your beard will grow just by solving the hormonal problem. Perhaps after receiving the treatment, a beard may grow. It cannot be said with absolute certainty.

Maybe there is a problem in your genes that prevents you from growing a beard. Sometimes, if your father, father’s father, carries the beardless factor, you are more likely to inherit beardless genetic traits. Maybe your father has a good beard, but you may not.

Neither you nor your parents are responsible for that. That is nature. You are so worried about your beard. Think how many people are born without arms and legs in this world. How many people are born without eyes? So don’t worry about not having a beard.

Beard is only one factor. There will be no problem that one factor is missing for the development of your personality. The way you dress, the way you talk and even the way you walk are factors that show your masculinity. So pay attention to such factors.

If there are various problems related to beard growth, you can pay attention to the methods that will be discussed hereafter.

8 Effective Ways to Grow a Full Beard Faster

01. Start After Fully Shaved

By massaging the muscles of the face well, it causes the blood circulation in the face to be better. There the circulation of oxygen increases and affects the thickness of the beard.
