How do patches form

To understand the problem, it’s important to understand the issue. Patchiness occurs when little or no hair grows in a particular area; and it happens when the beard grows to different lengths in different areas. Sound familiar? If so, let’s figure out what category you fall into so we can get you the best solution.

Is your beard even patchy?

All too often, beardsmen reach a point in their journey when the early results are disappointing and they just give up. Or, guys dust off the razor because of the itchiness and irritation that accompanies the beard growing process. And some men give up due to a thin or patchy appearance. We’re here to tell you: don’t despair or lose heart. Even the finest most luxuriant beards go through a patchy period. A beard, like a glass, must be judged by the context. Is it half full or half empty; filling in or falling apart? It’s the time and the trend that determines one from the other. Maybe your beard only grows in patches; or, maybe your beard grows thicker and denser in some places and in other place needs time to catch up?

What we’re saying is this -- for most men, beards fill in over time, often only after a month or so of growth. For most guys, patches will get smaller and disappear with time. Beard growing isn’t a science but a journey! There is no set number of days or weeks required; everyone’s beard grows differently, but you must at least put in the time to get the results you desire.

I’ve given it a chance and I still have beard patches!

First of all, well done for growing your beard! That takes dedication. Give yourself a pat on the back—or the beard. But if at the end of 3,6,9 months (your beard is the judge), you find you’re still enduring patchiness, it might be time to consider other ways to achieve a thicker, fuller looking beard. cremo thickening beard cream

Diet

One of the most overlooked aspects of beard growth is the importance of a good, healthy diet. Experts recommend plenty of nuts, protein and to maximize the amount of vitamin C in your diet.

Now, you may have friends who eat poorly, drink whatever they like and have generally unhealthy lifestyles, who nonetheless sport amazing beards. What the heck, right? It doesn’t mean these remedies don’t work, it just means these people got lucky. They have different genetics. You’re goal is to have the best beard you can grow.

Exercise

Not only is it good form to stay fit, it also helps your body operate more efficiently, and this in turns enhances hair growth. Healthy body, healthy hair. The connection is real.

Skin maintenance

Beards generally grow in whatever direction they see fit, so we strongly recommend a good Beard Comb or Beard Brush to shape the beard into something that looks well-groomed, rather than the ‘just woke.” If you’re able to control the beard’s shape, this automatically makes the beard look fuller, thicker and more of a style choice than a face in need of a shave.
