Growing a beard is not easy as many think, some people will struggle just to have few hairs appearing on the chin. This is because many factors contribute to the growth of facial hairs and these include genes. Typically, Growing a beard requires testosterone levels in your body and dihydrotestosterone or DHT to rise to a level capable of activating your beard growth. Generally, if you are eating well, stocking food nutrients that increase testosterone levels, growing beard will not be a struggle if you have the right genes, but if your genes are not in favor of you growing a beard, you can find other ways that can help you do so. Reasons why you can't grow a beard There are different reasons why you can't grow that long, full beard you've always wanted Some of the reasons can be treated by simple medications and some may require special treatment. Below we have listed some of these reasons Genetics Genetics plays a role in beard growth, if you didn't get blessed with the hairy gene, then your facial hairs will not grow out the way you want them to. But there are things you can do to give your facial hair a little push to grow faster and healthier. Hormones Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone also have a major impact on how your facial hair grows, your follicles need these hormones to get to their maximum potential. When your body has less o, your chin may remain hairless for a long time. However, there are many ways in which you can increase testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in your body and increase your chance of having that long healthy beard you want so badly. Androgen Receptors (Sensitivity to Beard Hormones) Genetics are responsible for the presence of Androgen Receptors, which are a group of hormones responsible for sexual developments and secondary characteristics concerning sex. Growing any facial hairs depends on the number of androgen receptors that are present in your hair follicles. Having lots of androgens means more testosterone is there to stimulate hair growth. Having high levels of testosterone but little androgen receptors will not lead to beard growth, all the testosterone will just go to waste. Your genes determine androgens, that's the reason why others have no trouble growing facial hairs while others have a hard time. Stress Stress might be another reason why you can't grow a beard. Therefore, if you find yourself stressful most of the time and see a few patches of facial hair struggling to grow, the stress might be the cause of why your facial hair won't grow. If this is the situation with you, then we suggest you get professional help or talk to a close friend about your problems and stresses, it will help you get better and lead to increased beard growth.
