It is very important to daily cleanse the beard hair and skin underneath to prevent them from becoming too oily, feeling dirty and smelling bad. The skin is often compared to a wall made of bricks and mortar, which protects us from the environment. Healthy skin continuously renews itself and daily sheds some of the outer dead skin cells as part of this natural exfoliation process. When does facial hair start growing? Where does facial hair grow first?
Is facial hair growth based on genetics? What patterns do beards grow in? Why do men often get ingrown hairs? Why is beard hair tougher than scalp hair? How fast does a beard grow? What causes shaving irritation? Why wash my beard every day? Is beard wash important? Regardless of when or how you shave, your facial hair will always grow at approximately the same rate: about one-quarter-inch per month. Optical illusion plays no small role in the long life of the shave-your-way-to-thicker-hair myth.
The individual strands of your hair are tapered on the ends, and when you shave them, effectively sheering all of those tapered strands into flat ends, they look thicker to the naked eye. Combine that with the fact that you are constantly naturally shedding hair from your beard and the short, densely concentrated dots on your freshly shaven face can appear thicker than the beard from whence they came.
Your shaving method can play mind games on you, too. Higher-end razors with multi-blade designs lift your facial hair before slicing it, resulting in a deep shave that means new growth of your freshly shorn hairs will take longer to become visible since they will be starting from much closer to the surface of your skin.
The same effect happens if you use a standard double-blade razor and shave multiple times in a row to get a perfectly smooth shave. Beards enhance confidence, allow men to stand out and can even define careers.
They unite men socially - have done for years and essentially represent a right of passage in the marathon that is life. It is also something that some manage to achieve seemingly easier than others. This is, however by no means due to a natural difference in hair type or skin tone as commonly believed. As you will soon discover, it is all down to a crucial difference in approach and attitude. Treat this guide by Murdock Master Barber Alex Glover as the essential lifestyle propaganda that it is.
This gentlemen, in assured writing, is how you grow a beard Set aside some time and have a proper shave so that your skin is fresh and well treated. This will minimise any early signs of irritation and underlying skin problems. Remember that thorough preparation is crucial in regards to how your skin will respond to your blade. Before shaving you should wash your face using Face Wash to cleanse pores of excess oils, dirt and dead skin.
After gently drying your face, applying Pre Shave Oil will help soften facial hair and nourish the skin ahead of applying your Shave Cream lather and beginning to work with your blade. Your beard may be itchy for the first two weeks or even up to the first month and a half of growth. Primarily caused by a daily accumulation of dirt, dead skin cells and dehydration, the levels of discomfort endured can be a struggle - even a few day's worth of stubble can be enough to spur irritation.
It's also important to remember that no matter how clean you keep newly grown facial hair, natural itchiness as part of your bearded initiation will occur, generally caused by new hair's capability of collecting rogue dirt.
