Growing a beard from nothing, is it possible ?

First, we must start with the reasons why your beard is not growing:

Genetics:

Like most of you must know, the thickness and length of your beard is determined by your genetics, if most of the men in your family have a thick beard you are more likely to grow one as well.

Age:

Usually men start growing a beard in their early 20s and usually don’t get a full face coverage until their late 20s. Maybe you just have to be patient :)

Alopecia Areata:

An autoimmune skin condition, which causes hair loss on the scalp face and sometimes other areas of the body. You can find more informations here:

Low Testosterone level:

Beard growth is related to testosterone, so a low level of testosterone can cause a poor beard growth or even no facial hair at all. Symptoms of low testosterone level can be a low sex drive, fatigue, etc.

Now that we know some reasons why your beard is not growing, can you grow a beard from scratch… Yes and No ! Everyone is different so there is not a right answer, however some tricks exist to help you grow a beard from zero.

Excercise

Remember we talked about testosterone ? Exercising would boost your testosterone level and improve your beard growth. Don’t skip legs day ! Rumours said it’s great for testosterones.
