Men love beards. But growing it appropriately isn’t an easy task to do. Just like any other thing, growing a healthy and strong beard is challenging.
You need to maintain your lifestyle and take proper care by using quality products to grow healthy beard hair. But lots of people face issues even after working hard on it. Sometimes it gets dry and itchy and the trouble starts there.
This is one of the most common issues men have to face while growing a beard and there can be a lot of reasons behind it.
But the worst you can end up doing is by chopping off your beard out of frustration and itchiness.
Using only beard oil might not help you in the long run. To avoid dryness and itchiness, you need proper moisturization of your skin and hair. And a good diet, healthy lifestyle and good products will help.
Brands like Mancode, Beardo, Truman can be used to maintain beard grooming. But you need some more care.
So let’s take a look at the details you should follow.
Maintaining the lifestyle
just like we maintain our skin and hair to make it healthy, our beards also need a good diet to keep up with.
Zinc:
The most important hormone to grow a beard and keep it healthy is testosterone. And it can be improved by having food full of zinc. Zinc is easily found in nuts, dairy products, beans and so many more.
Protein:
Protein is another important nutrient to make your beard and face skin smooth and moisturized. Protein can be easily found in meat, fish, eggs, milk, and nuts.
Vitamins:
vitamins are the fighters with most of our problems. To fill the deficiency of your beard, you need to eat foods with vitamins B-complex, vitamin E, and vitamin A.
vitamin B5, B12, B6, and Biotin are important from vitamin B-complex. These vitamins will make your hair grow fast and strong and shiny and help with dandruff and flaky skin. Which is the main reason for an itchy beard. These vitamins are extremely effective in hair growth and not only that, but they will also prevent hair loss as well. As a result, you will get a voluminous and thick beard with a smooth and shiny texture. Some foods that are rich in vitamin B-complex are salmons, tuna, cheese, milk, oysters, spinach and kale, liver, chicken, kidney, etc.
Vitamin E is well known for promoting healthy hair and skin. You can easily add this to your diet by eating spinach, sunflower oil, seeds, red bell pepper, soyabean oil, peanuts, and more.
And also intake vitamin A. Eat foods rich in beta carotene. Beta carotene is a red/orange pigment found in natural vegetables and food which converts into vitamin A after going into our body. This vitamin is highly effective to boost healthy eye, hair, bone, and skin development and also fights diseases like cancer and all. Some food sources for beta-carotene are colorful and fresh fruits and vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, green vegetables, lettuce, sweet potatoes, etc.
Got an idea about diet planning, now let’s talk about the products you should use.
Breard products
To maintain a healthy lifestyle by having a great diet plan, you also need some good beard products to keep it healthy from the outside.
There are so many options available in the market for beard oil, beard growth oil and shampoo. But keep in mind that the beard is related to our facial hair. You are putting it on your skin when you put it in your beard. So don’t make the mistake of using any other hair oil or hair shampoo to grow beard hair. I bet most of the men do that, who don’t have the basic knowledge about skin and hair care. And that’s why, after spending lots of money on products, you are failing.
The first thing is beard oil. Beard oil helps to nourish the skin and the hair. Keep the right moisturization, and make it look healthy and shiny from the outside. The ingredients present in the hair oil go deeper into the skin and work to help with growth.
Itchiness happens from lack of moisturization which can be prevented by this.
Don’t think you don’t need extra oil if you have oily skin. This is the biggest mistake oily skin people do. After washing your face, apply a good amount of moisturizer and beard oil to keep the balance. Otherwise. The skin will produce more oil to moisturize the skin, and you will end up having acne and dry, flaky skin.
With that, use a good face wash or a shampoo to remove excess oil and dirt at the end of the day. Wash your face and beard a maximum of twice a day. In the morning and at night. Don’t go beyond that. Because washing and exfoliation will irritate the skin and make it dry.
Learn about the ingredients before buying any products. Especially when it is related to the internal health of your body.
Skip products that have parabens and sulphates. Natural oils like jojoba oil, castor oil, and almond oil will help. Ayurvedic products can be used in the long run as they don’t have any side effects.
Wash your face, apply moisturizer and the oil and then brush it for the best results. Better to use a bamboo comb to promote healthy blood circulation for growth.
Final words
Combine the tips altogether for the best results. we are sure, these tips given above will help you to get over your itchy dry beard. Just make sure, don’t overdo anything to get fast results. Whether it’s the diet or the products. And if possible, do some exercise or have a walk to maintain everything. Burn extra fats and toxins to maintain hormones. There are no such things in the world that happen overnight. so you have to keep patience. ‘less is better’ follows the slogan.
Best of luck!
