Thick beards and beautiful mustaches are popular, but unfortunately some men have facial hair growth more slowly than others. Hair growth is largely due to heredity, so there aren't many ways to speed it up. Certain medications and home remedies can help with slow or uneven hair growth.If you can't boast of thick facial hair, wash your hair often and take proper care of it to make it look fuller. Also, try to live a healthier lifestyle - this also helps to speed up hair growth a bit. While there is no guarantee that this or that remedy will help you, consistent efforts will often lead to the desired result.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Using Medicines and Home Remedies

1. 1 Talk to your doctor about medication if you want to stimulate hair growth. For baldness, finasteride ("Proscar", "Penester") is often used. Although this drug is not intended to improve facial hair growth, some believe it is effective, especially when combined with minoxidil (Generolone). If your doctor approves of this treatment, take a small tablet once a day. If that doesn't work, it might be worth trying other remedies.
   • Drugs such as finasteride work by reducing the production of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which inhibits hair growth. A decrease in DHT usually leads to an increase in testosterone levels, which accelerates hair growth.
   • For example, Latisse is applied with a brush to the eyelashes to accelerate their growth, and some find it to be effective for beards and mustaches as well.
   • The drug "Latisse" is quite expensive, moreover, it is rather difficult to buy it in Russia, so look for other cosmetics that contain the same components - bimatoprost and prostaglandin (for example, "Bimatan"). Use the supplied brush to apply the product to your face.
2. 2 In case of problems with hormone levels, sign up for testosterone therapy. Doctors determine hormone deficiency using a special blood test. If your body is not producing enough testosterone, facial hair will grow slowly and unevenly. Hormone problems can arise for many reasons, including age, injury, or heredity. To deal with them, your doctor may prescribe injections or other remedies that you can use at home.
   • For example, your doctor may recommend that you wear a patch, take a pill, or rub a gel into your face every day.
   • Symptoms of testosterone deficiency include fatigue, muscle weakness, and loss of muscle mass.
   • Sometimes hormone therapy only yields results after a year, although often it takes much less time to accelerate hair growth.
3. 3 Apply to face Minoxidilif you want to use an over-the-counter product. Minoxidil or Regaine is a safe hair foam that can be purchased over the counter and used at home. It comes without a prescription. Just apply it on your face and leave it on for about 4 hours. Do this twice a day to stimulate hair follicles.
   • Observe the recommended dosage. Apply to skin about one milliliter at a time.
   • Check with your doctor if you have any questions or experience unusual side effects.
4. 4 As a natural remedy, rub diluted essential oils. Eucalyptus oil is often used to stimulate hair follicles, although other oils are helpful. For example, try using peppermint, coconut, or almond oil. Add a few drops of oil to a bowl of water or base oil and rub over the skin. Use this remedy even after your hair begins to grow normally to keep it healthy.
   • After you apply the essential oil, leave it on your skin for up to 20 minutes, then wash off with water.
   • Be sure to dilute the essential oil before applying it to your skin. For example, mix 1 part oil with 4 parts water. You can also use cleansers and moisturizers that contain essential oils.
5. 5 Mix amla oil with mustard leaves for another natural remedy. It is believed that amla oil, which is obtained from Indian gooseberry, promotes hair growth. Try mixing one cup (60 ml) of oil with 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of mustard leaves. Stir well to form a paste, then massage it into the skin just like an essential oil. Wash off the paste after 20 minutes.
   • Store leftover pasta in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Keep it in a tightly closed container.
   • You can also apply the oil alone to your skin if you do not have mustard leaves, however, a mixture of paste and leaves is more effective.
6. 6 Mix ground cinnamon with lime juice to stimulate hair growth. Place about 2 tablespoons (13-14 grams) of ground cinnamon in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lime juice and stir to form a paste. Apply the paste to your face and leave it on for 20 minutes. Do this twice a week to speed up hair growth.
   • Wash off the paste immediately if you feel skin irritation.

Method 2 of 3: Taking Care of Your Facial Hair

1. 1 Do not shave off your facial hair so that it grows freely. Contrary to popular belief, shaving does not make your hair grow faster or thicker. The best way to grow a beard or mustache quickly is to leave it alone. After shaving you will be left with nothing again. Let your hair grow freely for at least 4 weeks.
   • Please note that human hair grows at different rates. It is possible that after the initial stage, you will feel that your hair grows much faster.
   • You will feel itchy at first, but do not shave off newly grown hair. Instead, wash and comb them and use a hair conditioner with jojoba or argan oil.
2. 2 Wash your face up to twice a day to keep your face clean. Oil, dirt and dead skin cells create a thick layer through which regrowing hairs try to break through. To wash off this layer, wash your face with warm water and a mild detergent. You can do this while you shower. Clean facial hair looks softer and thicker. It can also help if facial hair grows too slowly.
   • Try to wash your face in the morning after waking up and in the evening before bed. It is best to use a commercially available mild face cleanser rather than regular soap, which can be too abrasive and irritating to your skin.
   • Consider exfoliating your face twice a week to help remove dead skin cells.
3. 3 After washing your face, apply a moisturizer to your face. Rub a mild moisturizer all over your skin to thoroughly moisturize it. Apply to skin while still wet. Good moisturizers keep skin and hair healthy and protect against irritation. This will improve the condition of the hair on your face and remove the dirt that is hindering its growth.
   • A good moisturizer will be beneficial even after you grow your facial hair. Keep using it to prevent inflammation and acne formation.
   • Try using a natural moisturizer with an essential oil (such as eucalyptus). Among other things, essential oils promote facial hair growth.
4. 4 Comb your hair after washing and moisturizing. Use a soft beard brush, such as a boar bristle brush. Comb your hair in the morning. As a result, they will look thicker. It will also help you cover areas with little hair.
   • Pay attention to and get rid of ingrown hairs and other blemishes. For example, pull out an ingrown hair with tweezers and then brush your beard.
5. 5 Trim your beard and mustache to make them look pretty and fashionable. Browse through pictures of beards and mustaches in different styles and choose the one that suits you.There are many different styles, including those for sparse or short hair. The right haircut will help hide blemishes, so consider seeking advice from a professional stylist.
   • For example, you can brush out densely overgrown areas so that they cover areas with less dense hair. If you haven't had time to grow your hair, try cutting it short or stubble.
   • Make a plan for growing a beard and mustache and stick to it to keep the hairline looking thick even after a haircut.

   Leave the beard long on the jawline and under the chin. Then cut it shorter closer to the hairline and sharply define the edges. This will make your beard look fuller and your face will look thinner.

Method 3 of 3: Lifestyle Changes for Better Hair Growth

1. 1 Eat a healthy diet to get the nutrients your hair needs. Proper nutrition will help promote even hair growth. Instead of processed food, eat fish, eggs, lean meats, and other sources of protein. Combine this with fruits and vegetables at every meal.
   • Protein sources, including meat and eggs, contain zinc, oil and fat, which are essential for hair growth. These substances are required by the entire body, and if they are lacking, hair will not grow normally.
   • Other foods, such as fruits and vegetables, contain vitamins to help promote hair growth. For example, vitamin B is very useful. Vitamins A, C and E are also required.
2. 2 Drink enough water to stay hydrated throughout the day. The body needs water, including for hair growth. Drink about 2 liters of water a day. Even mild dehydration stops hair growth and can even lead to hair loss. Maintaining water balance can accelerate hair growth.
   • Replace your usual drinks with plain water. Carry a bottle of water with you to quench your thirst in time.
   • Sugar-containing fruit juices and sodas are not very healthy and can slow hair growth.
3. 3 Exercise regularly to stimulate blood flow to your hair follicles. Exercise has many benefits, the main one being improved blood circulation. Aim to exercise 3-4 times a week and focus on aerobic exercise that raises your heart rate. Fresh blood delivers more nutrients to the hair follicles and thus accelerates hair growth. You can walk, run a treadmill, play a sports game, or do some other exercise.
   • Even mild to moderate exercise, such as brisk walking for 30 minutes, promotes hair growth.
   • Exercise also effectively relieves stress. However, don't overdo it. Overwork can increase stress and even lead to injuries that need to be healed.
4. 4 Find ways to relax and relieve stress. Stress is one of the main reasons hair doesn't grow as well as it should. Stress slows down the growth of new hair, so it needs to be controlled to grow a beard or mustache faster. Set aside time for activities that you enjoy, such as meeting friends, playing games, or listening to music. Try meditating and walking as well.
   • Both emotional and physical stress can suppress the immune system, which can cause hair follicles to enter a dormant state.Hair can even fall out due to stress.
   • It's almost impossible to get rid of stress completely, so take small steps to limit its impact on your life. Find better ways to reduce your stress levels.
5. 5 Stimulate hair follicles with regular facial massage. Although it may seem a bit out of the ordinary, a gentle massage is great for activating the hair follicles. Take a couple of minutes a day to massage. Start at the lower jaw and work your way up the face. Apply light pressure and massage the skin with circular motions with your fingers. Regular massage can speed up hair growth.
   • For best results, massage the areas where hair is growing for 10-15 minutes, up to twice a day. You can also contact a professional massage therapist for a deeper massage.
   • Massaging the skin improves blood circulation in the skin, which leads to the growth of thicker and healthier hair. Plus, massage is great for relaxing.
6. 6 Sleep 7-9 hours a night. Along with exercise, your body needs adequate rest to function properly. If you are having trouble getting enough sleep, set a sleep routine. Create a healthy sleeping environment that allows you to relax at the end of the day. This will help ensure that your hair grows as quickly as possible.
   • During sleep, the body regenerates cells and nourishes the hair follicles with nutrients. In addition, normal sleep promotes the production of growth hormones such as testosterone.
   • Poor and poor quality sleep leads to uneven facial hair growth. Moreover, it can cause hair loss.
7. 7 Quit smoking to improve your overall health. Even if you reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke, it can have beneficial effects on your circulatory and immune systems. Smoking causes great harm to your body, including your hair follicles. Unfortunately, quitting smoking is not an easy task, it takes a lot of effort and determination. You can reduce your cravings for tobacco by using nicotine gum or a patch.
   • Nicotine reduces the body's ability to absorb nutrients. As a result, the nutrients required for hair growth do not reach the hair follicles, which slows down hair growth.
   • Among other things, nicotine constricts blood vessels, which impairs blood circulation.

Tips

• Growing facial hair takes patience. Good habits will help you with this, but your hair will still take time to grow back.
• Facial hair growth is most strongly influenced by heredity. If your dad's facial hair didn't grow well, you are likely to run into a similar problem.
• To keep your facial hair looking neat and beautiful, you need to take care of it. If your hair does not grow evenly, comb and style it to cover problem areas.

Warnings

• Please consult your doctor before using chemical methods and products. Many of these remedies affect the entire body and can cause problems if consumed excessively.
