- 8 min reading time
For the Man guys among us: have you always wanted a full, sharp beard? Then you and Neofollics make a great match! Neofollics is the go-to brand for hair growth & beard growth. Growing a full, sharp beard requires effort and isn't easy. In this blog, you'll learn everything about beard care and beard growth.
How long does it take to grow a beard?
If you plan to grow a full beard, it's helpful to understand how beard growth works and how long it takes. Luckily, you can influence the speed of your beard growth to some extent, so here’s a tip: be patient ;)
On average, beard hair grows half a centimetre per month. That doesn’t mean you’ll have a full beard after 30 days. The best results show after about two to four months. As mentioned, you can influence the speed of your beard growth. Using proper beard care, the Neofollics beard growth kit and living a bit healthier can definitely help stimulate growth.
Can I stimulate beard growth?
Absolutely! You can encourage beard growth by using Neofollics products. For example, try the Neofollics Beard Growth Set . A balanced diet full of proteins, vitamins and minerals also helps maintain or boost your beard. Of course, you need to care well for your beard using beard oil or balm. Lastly, don’t give up too soon — for some, beard growth takes longer than for others.
What is the Neofollics beard growth kit?
The Neofollics Beard Growth Kit includes the Neofollics Beard Growth Serum and the Neofollics Dermaroller. The dermaroller is a device with tiny microneedles that create micro holes in the top skin layers, which helps the Neofollics Beard Growth Serum absorb better. This process activates and nourishes the hair follicles, ultimately boosting facial hair growth. Besides hair growth ingredients, the serum contains essential oils like sandalwood extract, castor oil and rosemary oil, plus nourishing agave tequilana gel that cares for skin and adds healthy shine to your beard hairs. The beard growth kit suits anyone with little to no beard growth, patchy areas, bald spots, or who wants a fuller beard.
How do I prevent itching and irritation during beard growth?
Itching and irritation are common during beard growth. This happens because the skin under your beard often lacks moisture and gets dry. All natural skin oils go to your beard hairs instead. To reduce this, use a moisturizing beard oil or cream — it works wonders!
A beard oil or balm hydrates your skin with soothing ingredients, making it less dry. Plus, oils soften your hairs, making them less stiff and easing the annoying tickle. If you have dry skin, avoid warm water on and around your beard — cold water is a must!
Which beard growth myths are not true?
Just like myths about scalp hair growth, there are plenty of tips about stimulating beard growth that aren’t true! To avoid wasting time, we’ve listed them all for you.
- Shaving makes your beard grow faster: that’s not true. Shaving your beard completely, hoping it grows back faster, doesn’t help. It only slows the process down. People often feel that shaving makes hair grow back thicker or faster, which sounds logical. But this has never been scientifically proven.
- Shave your beard for summer: the idea that a beard is too hot for summer is false. It actually cools you down. A beard blocks UV rays and helps sweat evaporate. So you definitely don’t need to shave your beard for summer! That would just waste your effort.
- A beard always itches: generally, a beard itself shouldn’t itch. If it does, it’s probably due to beard care. Think dry skin, wrong products, beard dandruff and more.
- Poor beard growth is not Mannally caused: Beard growth has nothing to do with Manness or testosterone levels, as many people think. Only genetics and proper care affect beard growth. That said, a beard is a style statement and gives a rugged look.
How do I grow my beard?
We’ve outlined the steps to help you grow your beard well, healthy (and fast). There are some factors in beard growth beyond your control, so the process may go smoother for some than others.
For optimal beard growth, the Neofollics Beard Growth Dermaroller is key! The Neofollics beard roller also works for Man guys with little to no beard growth. The roller stimulates hair growth through microneedling, as thousands of tiny needles activate and, combined with the Neofollics Beard Growth Stimulating Serum, improve blood circulation to the hair follicles. Neofollics develops all hair growth products based on scientific research — you can see this in the results.
#1 First of all, the most important part of the ‘beard growth process’ is discipline. Growing a beard takes dedication. In the first few weeks, your beard won’t look neat and even; hairs may grow faster in some spots than others. This probably sparks comments from others. The challenge is to resist reaching for the razor. Make clear agreements with yourself — it’s all about sticking with it!
#2 Step two is obvious. You stop shaving!
#3 Use the Beard Growth Set daily. It stimulates growth and cares for your beard and moustache. Use the dermaroller once or twice a week, with a three-day rest in between. Use the Lotion twice a day, preferably morning and evening. But after using the dermaroller, wait 12 hours before applying the beard serum. So skip the serum right after dermarolling. Check the kit for full instructions.
#4 After about a month, you might want to tidy your neck and cheek lines. Don’t worry if your beard still has gaps or isn’t even yet — it’ll improve later.
#5 If your beard is longer, you could use a beard balm to keep your beard in shape. This works well with the Neofollics beard growth kit. The advice is to apply it mainly on the hairs, not much on the skin. The same goes for other beard oils.
#6 Live healthy: sleep well, eat healthily, exercise, reduce stress. These things also affect beard growth.
What common problems occur while growing a beard?
Many Man guys face different challenges while growing a beard. Many suffer from beard itch. As the beard grows, hairs curl and their ends can prick the skin, causing itchiness. This usually lasts one to two weeks. To ease the itching, use beard oil and comb your beard well during this time.
Some may experience patchy areas or bald spots. Don’t stress! For some, this takes longer — give it time. Age can also be a factor.
You may also get beard dandruff. This is dandruff in your beard. Usually, this means you need to exfoliate the skin under your beard. So hydrate, nourish & care!
Should I clean my beard too?
Yes, your beard needs a good cleanse. It’s important to wash your beard thoroughly but not too often — max twice a week. This keeps the hairs shiny and soft. Use beard shampoo & conditioner for cleaning. Don’t wash with warm water as it dries out the skin and hairs. Cold water acts as a natural conditioner and adds shine! Examples of beard shampoos:
How do I care for my beard in the shower?
In the shower, it’s tempting to use regular shampoo and conditioner on your beard. These are designed for scalp hair, not the skin under your beard. For your beard, use dedicated beard shampoo and conditioner, specially formulated for the skin beneath your beard. To prevent dryness, wash with lukewarm water.
Which products suit my beard?
Every beard needs different care, but which product suits your beard best? We recommend the Neofollics Serum for every beard, but there are more care and styling products for beards. Let’s take a look:
Stubble: stubble means hair about 1-2 millimetres long. You can keep your stubble in shape with a beard trimmer Perfect. A simple beard oil or serum keeps skin and hair soft.
Short: for a short beard, beard oil is a must. Short beards often cause itching and irritation for Man men. Beard oil hydrates the skin beautifully. Essential!
Long: for a long beard, you usually don’t suffer from itching anymore. Styling and care are key. You can still use beard oil at the roots but for the rest, we definitely recommend a beard balm. This hydrates your hairs and keeps them styled.
