How does beard growth work?
Why do some have a lot of beard growth and others do not?
The degree of beard growth is genetically determined per person. But if you have little or no beard growth in a certain place, this does not mean that there are no hair follicles there that can produce (vellus) hair. It only means that the hair follicles in this place are in the (telogen) resting phase and are therefore not or not sufficiently stimulated by the body to grow properly.
How does a beard grow?
During puberty, the hair follicles on the face start to produce longer (beard) hairs. This is due to an increased amount of testosterone in the man's body. It has been scientifically proven that beard hairs benefit from a higher amount of testosterone, the more testosterone the more the beard hairs are triggered to grow. It can therefore happen that your beard grows very fast and long during puberty, but it will grow less quickly as you get older. This is because the amount of testosterone in the body of the man decreases again after puberty.
There are also a lot of myths about beard growth, it is often thought that a beard grows faster when you shave (this is incorrect) and that there is nothing to be done about bald spots in the beard or slow beard growth. Fortunately, you can do something about this!
