You’ve made the decision to grow a beard which is an excellent choice - welcome to the brotherhood. While you certainly understand that all bodies are unique and not every beard grows the same, you still want to make sure you’re doing all that you can to ensure your beard is living up to its full potential. We’ve got some advice for anyone feeling discouraged by slow beard growth. The good news is it happens to a lot of people - the better news is that you’re reading this post so you’re ready to do something about your slow beard growth.

Make a Slow Growing Beard Look Fuller

You’ve got a beard but it’s not growing quite as fast as you’d like it to. While we recommend using our Beard Struggle balm (more on that later) there are other ways you can make a slow growing beard look fuller.

Start with a daily habit of combing and brushing your beard. Experiencing slow beard growth doesn’t mean you sit there upset about not having a longer beard. If you want a fuller looking bead you’ve got to work for it. Combing it daily with The Beard Struggle Model V TypeComb is a great way to make a slow growing beard look fuller.

The next tool up for fixing slow beard growth is our Viking Savage Brush. Perhaps your beard is growing slowly because it’s tangled - taking this brush to your beard will help with that.Maybe you’re blaming your slow beard growth on frizz - the Viking Savage Brush is a must-have.

What Causes Slow Growing Beards?

Slow beard growth isn’t always in our control. Unfortunately genetics get a say in how quickly your beard grows. While you can’t change your genetic makeup, you can keep an eye on other things that may contribute to slow beard growth. Poor nutrition habits don’t inspire your beard to grow faster, nor does avoiding vitamins.

Can You Speed Up Beard Growth?

Yes, you can! Exercising regularly, sleeping well, and doing your best to live a stress free life are not only great ways to be healthy but they also speed up beard growth! You should already be incorporating a regular exercise routine and aiming for 8 hours of sleep per night but now that you know it’ll make your beard grow fast maybe you’ll take these health tips a little more seriously.

Beard Struggle Products for Beard Growth

The Beard Struggle also offers products that help with slow beard growth. Our CrimsonScruff Balm is designed to take your beard from beginner to advanced using high quality ingredients like shea butter, beeswax, and the finest oils (almond, macadamia, jojoba, and argan just to name a few). By moisturizing hair follicles providing surface moisture for dry skin, our balm aims to reverse what causes slow beard growth.

At the end of the day, some of us have genetics that just make slow beard growth a part of our world. But all of us can take matters into our own hands by exercising regularly, getting the best sleep possible, and applying products like The Beard Struggle’s beard balm to decrease the chances of slow beard growth affecting our facial hair.
