Wash it Regularly
Scrub and wash your beard several times a week with a good cleanser. This is extremely important in the initial stages of growth when trapped food and skin cells can give rise to itchiness. Make it a habit to wash your beard at least once in a day.
Keep it Moisturised
Apply a few drops of oil into your beard every day and you will see a lot of difference. Your face will feel less itchy, your beard will be softer and manageable. That is more helpful if your facial hair is naturally curly. You can use a good coconut oil and jojoba oil to moisturize your beard.
Avoid Hard Lines
Never end your beard at your chin. Allow your hair to grow naturally up to about an inch or two above your Adam’s Apple (half of the human neck) and then allow it to fade, using a few different settings on a trimmer.
Good and Balanced Diet
Some Vitamins and Minerals can help boost the speed at which facial hair grow. Including Vitamins A, B, C and E in your diet can speed up the hair growth process. Increase the amount of protein in your diet. The protein found in eggs, meat, fish will boost your facial hair growth.
Proper Maintenance and Care
Stop shaving and trimming your hair very often. Groom your beard only after 5-6 weeks when it is fully grown. Massage your face often, facial massage improves blood circulation to the face, which will stimulate new hair growth. Always use cold water to wash your face. In case you experience itching in the early stages of growth; apply hydrocortisone cream to your face.
