1 Shave regularly until your facial hair comes in evenly.
The worst way to grow a beard is to just stop shaving or to never start. This results in patchy, uneven, and thin beards that just flat-out won't look good on your face. If your facial hair isn't growing in evenly all around your face, keep shaving regularly, and be patient until it does. If you're not sure how evenly your facial hair is growing in, shave your entire face and look for stubble. Does it grow on the tip of your chin as quickly as over your lip? Does it grow under your neck at the same rate as it does on your sideburns? If so, you're ready for growing a beard. If your beard doesn't grow evenly, there's a bit you can do to speed up the process and ensure that your hair will eventually grow in as thickly as possible. Genetics has a lot to do with your ability to grow facial hair. Some people simply won't be able to grow full beards.

2 Raise your testosterone levels to speed up facial hair growth.
If you're currently going through puberty, or have gone through puberty but haven't started growing your facial hair yet, there are some simple things you can do to stimulate testosterone levels and encourage hair growth. The effect won't necessarily be fast, but you'll get hair growing if you do some combination of the following: Exercise. Doing intensity training, cardio, and some strength training a few times a week encourages testosterone growth in males, helping to get facial hair growing. Warm up for three minutes, then do on/off sets, with 30 seconds of all-out exercise, then 90 seconds of moderate exercise. Do sets of seven of these circuits. Get your Vitamin D levels up, either by taking a supplement or by spending some more time outdoors in the sun, absorbing Vitamin D naturally. According to some recently published research, ashwagandha is an herb that stimulates testosterone in men. It's also known as the adaptogen and is commonly sold as a supplement.

3 Take care of your skin in the meantime.
As you're trying to stimulate facial hair growth, it's also important to take care of your skin and address issues that can keep hair from growing evenly and looking good. Talk to your doctor about problems with rosacea, acne, or dryness before you decide to grow a beard. See your dermatologist while you are still shaving regularly. Apply the prescribed or over-the-counter medication for at least one month before growing facial hair. Keep your face moisturized, to keep the follicles healthy and stimulated. Use a natural foaming cleanser on your face to keep the skin healthy.

4 Start with a fresh shave.
Just as you need a clean canvas to start painting, when you decide you're ready to start growing a beard, you need a clean-shaven face. Start from scratch, trimming any facial hair you do have off, then shaving close to the skin. This will ensure that everything will grow as evenly as possible as you're starting your new beard. Consider having a hot shave at a barber's shop. This is typically the closest and most even shave you can get, to start off. After you shave, just stop for a period of about four weeks and do nothing, other than wash your face regularly and take care of your skin. Your facial hair should start to come in normally.

5 Manage the itchiness of the early growth.
Lots of guys stop growing out facial hair and start shaving because it gets itchy. Understand that itchiness will last for approximately four weeks before you'll eventually get used to it, once the beard softens slightly. Use a moisturizer or a natural beard oil on your beard follicles to soften the hairs and to keep the beard from itching too much. While there will always be some itchiness associated with the growth of body hair, it's possible to control somewhat. Read the third section for more information about beard care.

6 Be patient.
Everyone's facial hair grows at different rates, and it will take a while for some guys to grow beards, while others will seem to sprout whiskers in between morning shaves and evening showers. At whatever age and maturity level you're at, it's important to stay patient and wait for your beard to grow at its own pace. For some guys, growing a beard out will happen in two or three weeks, while for others it may take as long as several months to get real results.

7 Grow it out whenever you want.
While lots of men like to grow out their beards in cold months for insulation purposes, it's a common misconception that beards are more uncomfortable in hot weather. In fact, beards help protect from UV sun rays and work to cool the skin during hot weather, trapping sweat close to your face, cooling as it evaporates. While the itchiness associated with beards is typically less desirable during hot weather, it's not something that will do much to keep you warm. Beards offer a variety of other health benefits, including trapping dust to help you avoid asthma attacks and upper respiratory infections, and act as windbreakers, helping to shield your face from cold weather blasts. >> part 2
