There aren’t specific foods that will cause your beard to sprout like Jack’s beanstalk, but eating a balanced diet generally promotes healthy hair and skin. Take a multivitamin if consuming fruits and vegetables feels too wimpy.
Your beard counts as hair, so clean it regularly. Otherwise, you might find hunks of that steak you had for dinner two weeks ago lurking in your whiskers. Wash your beard a few times a week and use a moisturizing shampoo or you’ll have a brittle, beast like beard. After you wash your beard, dry it delicately. If you dry too forcefully you’ll end up with split ends and a lackluster beard. Instead, be patient and pat it dry.
Shampooing removes natural oils from your facial hair. Use olive oil, or another natural oil, to keep your beard shiny and soft. If you plan on keeping your beard long and strong, make sure to use the right grooming gear. You wouldn’t use a hammer to chop firewood, so purchase a beard trimmer and some sharp scissors for shaping.
