Growing a beard comes easy for some men and is tougher for others. In this post, we'll explore why that is and what you can do about it.

1. Genetics

If your father, grandfather, or uncles are able to grow full beards the chances of you being able to grow one as well are in your favor. Genetics is a key factor in determining how much hair will grow on your face.

2. Age

If genetics determines how much hair you grow, age determines where it grows. This is why some men have goatees and others have the Santa look while some can only manage a soul patch. Sure, your beard can be cut into any style but where hair grows on your face plays a role in the style.

3. Nutrition

Drinking plenty of water and eating less salt are big contributors to growing a beard. Trading in chicken for salmon is also a good idea because it caters to having enough (but not too much) Omega 6 which can impact testosterone levels. Upping your vitamin C and D is helpful, too.

4. Oils and Butters

Not every beard oil or beard butter is created equal. Opt for a high-quality product that can produce the results you desire. Billionaire Beards is a great choice.

5. Hair and Skin Health

Knowing how to take proper care of your hair and skin is essential for growing a big beard. Doing so keeps your pores free from build-up and residue and allows hair to grow with ease. Using a hot towel when you get a cut or shave is a good way to open up pores.
