Some men have beards, others don’t. This goes to show how beards are selective with whom they grow on. Beards make men more masculine. They appear dominant, more mature and more attractive compared to men who don’t have beards. If you are among the unchosen ones, probably not gifted in this regard, it is okay. You can still grow beards, here’s how:
1. Shave down
Clean shave properly to steam the pores using new blades and hot water. This would allow for healthy and consistent growth. This will form the foundation upon which your impending man mane will be built. You can also a barber for the full wet shave experience with hot towels, straight edge razors and maybe a head massage if you are lucky. You will not only feel better but also get an expert base on which to grow a beard.
2. Encourage growth
Depending on where you sit on the testosterone scale, your growth will either be spontaneous or gradual. While you can’t alter genetics, exfoliating regularly helps stimulate the skin underneath and therefore growth. Pay attention also to your diet: vitamins B and C, zinc, iron, omega-3 and plenty of water all give a facial forest the nourishment it needs to grow.
3. Choose a beard style
The right beard style can add weight to your jaw and deliver a more masculine profile photo, but you need to get the shape right. A good beard should complement your face shape, but it can also manipulate it too. Keeping it tighter under the neck and slightly longer around the chin and face will make it look as though you have got a stronger jawline, so keep this in mind when growing it out. If in doubt, consult a barber.
