You may still have some patches in your beard, but getting rid of those flyaways and hairs growing in different directions will make a big difference, and can help give the appearance of a fuller beard. A Beard Brush can help your beard hair lay in a more uniform direction—which, when long enough, can help you cover up some of those patchy areas. Add a small amount of a medium hold product like Styling Balm and then brush the hair into place.
The Styling Balm will help keep your beard hair locked in throughout the day. The bristles also increase circulation to the skin through its gentle massage—and healthier skin means healthier beard hair. If your beard hair is straight and fine, you can give it a little more volume using a product like Beardbrand Sea Salt Spray. You know how a day of swimming in the ocean makes your hair a little more wavy?
Sea Salt Spray does the same thing, and that added waviness in your beard can help it look more full. Beardbrand Sea Salt Spray is infused with kaolinite clay, which removes excess dirt and oil from your beard and skin without stripping away your natural oils. It contains aloe, which moisturizes the beard and skin while providing a little hold. There is no shortage of businesses looking to take advantage of your insecurities about your patchy beard.
Always do your research before buying anything that claims it will quickly give you a thick, luscious beard. Any company that claims their oil or balm increases your hair growth rate or the density of your beard is straight-up lying to you.
Minoxidil is the active ingredient in Rogaine, and one of the biggest emerging trends is men using it on their faces in hopes of increasing their beard growth. Some men claim that it absolutely worked for them and helped them grow a less patchy beard. Other men have reported not having much luck with it. You should do plenty of research if you are thinking about going the minoxidil route, and it has been known to cause side effects such as headaches and increased heart rate.
Our advice would be to consult with your doctor before using it. Another emerging trend is men using derma rollers to stimulate increased beard growth. Derma rollers work on the principle of micro-needling, where you are creating low-level trauma on the skin that requires increased blood flow and collagen production at the site of the puncture.
There is some evidence that derma rollers help reduce visible scars and wrinkles, but only small studies have been done. The belief is that the increased blood flow and college production could also prompt better hair growth. Some men use a derma roller and minoxidil to work the minoxidil further into the skin. As with minoxidil, you should consult with a doctor or dermatologist before poking too many holes in your face. In our opinion, the best thing you can do with your patchy beard is to learn to embrace it.
Plenty of men have patchy beards and they can completely own that look. You could even decide that you want to shorten the beard slightly so there is light stubble as this can mask beard patchiness and still look cool. Work with what you have. You can also shape, trim, and style your beard to remove thinner spots that make your beard look weak and sparse.
Doing this will give a fuller appearance across your beard, mustache, or chin. Which leads to the next tip. Your beard is hair on your face and just like the hair and skin across the rest of your body, it is a good idea to look after it and keep it healthy.
Grooming the beard can also help with beard patchiness. Take a further look down this article on how you can groom your beard to help deal with patchy beards. When learning how to fill in a patchy beard, one item that often gets overlooked is diet.
Not only does junk food affect your health and waistline , a bad diet can affect beard growth as well. If you eat a healthy diet with a healthy balance of vitamins and nutrients, your beard will benefit. Add oranges, brazil nuts, raisins, potatoes, kale, and spinach to your diet to encourage healthy beard growth. To learn about more foods that promote beard growth and more beard growth tips, check out these Best tips and tricks to make your beard grow faster.
Your facial hair is different from the hair on your head. Regular shampoos are not designed to clean facial hair and the sensitive skin underneath. It's important to keep facial hair clean when allowing the beard to initially grow in and for the patches to fill.
You might be a few weeks, or even months away from your beard looking like a real beard, by simply letting your hair cover more real estate. If the goal is a show-stopper of a beard, then of course you need to let it grow out. But if you simply prefer to wear the facial hair short without emphasizing the patches , then embrace the perma-stubble look with a good electric shaver , or with your beard trimmer on its lower guards.
The sparseness won't be nearly as noticeable. If and when you do grow it out, you should opt for higher-hold conditioning and styling products. A hefty balm helps control stubborn hairs and allows you to style those longer strands over top the patchy spots. Plus, balms are typically packed with nourishing ingredients like shea butter and essential oils that might help promote growth by keeping everything healthy. Brushing is a good nightly habit, as part of any beard regimen. Why our toothpaste does not contain fluoride Advice Wellness Read.
