What should I do to grow a beard?

Often the only way to have hair grow in an area that has no hair is to have a transplant. Many people have these successfully done so they can grow a thicker beard. However depending on your age it may simply take a while for your hair to start growing- if you are past the age where most members in your family started growing a full beard, you likely will need to have a transplant if you'd like to grow one too.

Many young men want to accelerate their beard growth and ask about it. It takes age (genetic triggers which occur in family lines) so if you want to find out when your beard will grow out, you need to find out when your father or grandfather (either side of the family) started to grow their beards. Hormones should have kicked in nicely by the time a man reaches 18 but some people must wait out his genetics as hormones alone are not responsible for the onset of beard growth. Beard transplants can be done when the young man is a bit older (over 25) if the beard has not fully grown in yet. Minoxidil may help and if it works, then you are among the lucky few. It often produces very fine hair (called vellus hair).
