Did you know that your beard grows faster during Spring? Here’s a little piece of advice for you guys out there who are thinking about growing out a beard: “Beards follow a similar cycle to our native plants, blooming and growing in early spring to early summer,” according to Robert Smaus from the Los Angeles Times.

Even though testosterone is the hormone primarily responsible for driving the growth of facial hair, it’s not the only factor playing a role in the growth of your beard. Low testosterone negatively impacts the growth of a beard. But there are plenty of other factors like genetics, sex life, diet, exercise, and even weather and time of year that can also affect the rate of hair growth on your face.

5 Beard Growth Tips for Spring

If you’re asking yourself “should I grow out my beard?” we’re here to tell you the answer is, without a doubt, yes. And Spring is probably the best season for growing out a beard. It also means you’ll have a thick, full beard by the time the colder months roll around. But there’s a little more to growing out a beard than just not shaving. Here are 5 simple tips and tricks to help you take full advantage of Spring and reach your beard growth goals.

1)    Growth Strategy and Style

One of the many benefits of growing out a beard is using your facial hair to shape your face, and if you’re a first-timer, it’s essential you know which beard style best complements the shape of your face. It’s simple: If you’ve got a longer, more oval-shaped face, you should avoid increasing your face with a lengthy and slender beard. Use your facial hair to widen your face, so plan for fuller sides and make sure to trim below your chin. The opposite applies if you’ve got a broader face. Make sure that you moderate the jaws and allow the growth of a fuller patch under the chin.

2)    Daily Care

Your beard can’t get the cleansing it needs when you take a shower unless you lather it up with a shampoo specifically designed for facial hair. Water alone isn’t enough. Wash your beard twice a week with a good beard wash that can wash away oil clogs, bacteria, and dead skin. A regular cleansing of your beard reduces irritation and gives it a nice soft and shiny look.

3)    Trim Sparingly as It Grows

Once your beard reaches your desired length, go ahead and add a very light trimming to your routine haircut. Create a foundation right above your Adam’s apple, where the beard and the neckline meet, and then work on the curves of your jawline just beneath the ears. Don’t forget your cheek line and trim as high and neatly as possible. The right beard shaping tool and knowing how to use it can make all of this a breeze.

4)    Don’t Be Afraid to Use Oils and Other Products

Maybe the most important beard growth tip is that you need to use the right natural products to maintain your beard. This can make all the difference in both appearance and facial hair health. There’s a significant difference between just letting your beard grow and taking care of the growth, as well as the style. The easiest path to an itch-free and a soft beard is by oiling it up. Regularly using beard oils, creams, and balms are all great ways to lock in moisture and keep you beard healthy and hydrated. They can also be used to style and tame flyaways, allowing you to shape things into place.

5)    Invest in a Superior Beard Brush

Here’s another secret and commonly overlooked beard growth tip: Brushing your beard daily keeps it healthy and encourages your facial hair to grow in the direction you want it to grow. That’s right. You can make your beard grow the way you want it to.

Brushing and combing your beard also promotes circulation in your beard scalp, distributing your natural oils more evenly for a shiny and youthful look. But be careful. Brushing too much can do more damage than it can good, so try your best to keep beard brushing to a minimum.
