How do you make your facial hair grow faster?

[iamme]

Do you shave everyday, even if there is little growth........or do you let it grow out a bit and then shave?

Also, what about electric vs razor?

lol.....i want to grow a goatee, but i can only get the chin and mustache area....can't connect them

Unless you take a couple hits of testosterone, you can only work with what you've got.

Shaving it doesn't make it grow in any faster. It's a myth. Shaving cuts the hair at an angle that makes the hair look thicker, thus the illusion that your facial hair is growing in thicker.

at my current rate....it would take me about 100 years to grow a beard

Maybe you're screwed. Both my brother and dad cann't grow anything more than a mustache, because the hair is missing and/or grows in "spots". You may not be able to grow hair in those areas.

can u really manipulate facial hair growth? i thought it was genetic.

 

[iamme]

so at what age does your facial hair growth "peak"?

 

[NakaNaka]

it doesn't quote on quote peak, once you hit a certain age it just keeps growing and you need to shave every day if you want to keep it clean.

You can have mine mate, I have to shave every single day or else it gets grotesque.

As far as growing your own, grow up a little bit first

The version I heard is that hair kind of makes a conical shape, with a wide base that goes up to a point. So when you cut the hair, the wide base is left, therefore making it seems like you have more facial hair

Hair goes thru a cycle of slower to faster growth your entire life. Each cycle, as I recall, last 3-4 years.

hahaha..welcome to ATOT..where you can ask questions you are too embarrassed to ask anywhere else..

if you rub the areas you want to grow more hair (but you have to be able to grow hair in that area first) alot, i hear that the stimulation of hair follices makes it grow faster

He's right. I guess shaving at an angle would make it look a little thicker than cutting it straight, the "thick effect" mainly comes from simply clipping the hair (straight or angled)

I guess this could save you a couple days of shaving...

 

[Fritzo]

Have someone suck on your face. That way they suck the hair out and make it grow faster

 

[randomlinh]

shave ~every other day cause my hair grows light, kinda spotty... looks bad my sideburns grow like crazy for some reason... i don't want em dammit!!! And electric... i'm a lazy fool... altho, even after 4 months of use, my neck still gets irritated and a tad red for a bit. I should find some good aftershave.. hehe

The best way to get facial hair to grow quickly is to rub cat poop on your face 3 times a day. Try it, really, it works.
