How does a beard grow?

Most people should know that after men enter puberty, their bodies will secrete a lot of male hormones, which causes some body organs to gradually change. The beard around the mouth is an important sign of male growth and development, but girls also grow beards around their mouths, but this type of beard is much finer and softer than that of boys. So how does beard hair grow?

Beards are a manifestation of secondary sexual characteristics. The so-called secondary sexual characteristics are the hormones secreted by men and women after adulthood. Men secrete testosterone and women secrete estrogen. Of course, men also secrete a very small amount of estrogen. The same is true for women.

Male hormones cause the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics, such as beard growth, enlarged testicles, chest hair, Adam's apple growth, voice changes, etc.

This is a normal physiological reaction of the human body

Why do beards grow so fast?

1. After puberty, male beards generally grow faster than their hair. This is the result of the action of male hormones.

2. After adulthood, when the body secretes too much androgen, such as adrenal tumors, the beard will grow wildly under the stimulation of excessive androgen.

3. Taking too much androgen and its products after adulthood causes an excess of androgen in the body, causing the beard to grow quickly.

4. People who stay up late have their beards grow faster, and people whose bodies secrete more male hormones also have their beards grow faster.

What to do if your beard grows fast

1. Shave half an hour after getting up

After a night's rest, people's reproductive function recovers. The beard grows fastest when they just wake up. If you shave at this time, the beard will grow again quickly. After about 30 minutes, the secretion of male hormones in the human body is no longer as strong, and the growth rate of the beard decreases. If you shave at this time, it will not grow quickly.

2. Shaving in order

The normal shaving order is: from the left side of the face to the right side, from top to bottom, first shave along the pores, then shave against the pores. After shaving, wipe off the foam with a hot towel or wash with warm water, and check whether there are any stubbles. The correct shaving method can shave the beard cleanly to prevent stubble from making people feel unclean.

3. Tighten the skin to reduce stress

When shaving, it is best to keep the skin taut to ensure that the razor does not have any resistance, so as to prevent scratching the skin. Especially for those who are old or thin, whose skin is prone to wrinkles, the skin should be tightened to maintain its elasticity and a certain degree of support.

4. Avoid shaving before and after exercise

Because the body will sweat a lot after exercise, the hair follicles will enlarge, which will stimulate the skin that has just been shaved and produce a burning sensation. Be very careful when shaving and don't rush. Everything should be done according to the correct shaving method to avoid hurting your body.
