Are you tired, do you eat poorly, do not sleep enough or do you wash the wrong way? Your beard could tell all of these things. Consider that being right on the front line, on your face, if you don’t care for it and you don’t care right, it could reveal unflattering private life details.
A coarse beard is one of the main problems of those who decide to grow it. In addition to understanding how to soften it , it is very important to try to understand what are the causes that make it bristly. Very often it is not a simple matter of hair, but of health . You got it right, a beard, like hair, skin, and nails, can act as a litmus test to understand if you eat right, drink enough or lead a healthy lifestyle . So here are some of the reasons that could make your beard stiff and rough.
Why is the beard rough?
You don’t drink enough
You changed your diet
You are very tired
Incorrect cleaning
Hard water
Split ends
Cold air
Too dry climate
You don’t drink enough
You don’t just have to keep your beard hydrated, you also need to keep yourself hydrated. If you don’t drink enough water and above all you don’t consume fruit and vegetables in the right amount, your beard will suffer. Dehydration is bad for your whole body and health.
You changed your diet
You have decided that your diet is no longer suitable for your lifestyle and you have chosen to eliminate some products or reduce them, without consulting a nutritionist. Be very careful! High-protein diets, at the expense of fruits and vegetables or the abuse of refined foods, that you are addicted to like a sailor in a sea of mermaids, could make it much drier. Remember that to guarantee a beautiful beard, you must consume foods rich in vitamins B, C, E, biotin but also calcium, iodine, iron and zinc.
You are very tired
If you can’t get rid of the stress , your body will suffer and your beard will also suffer. You need to do some movement, which will allow your body to oxygenate, produce more testosterone, which is very important for healthy hair, and then rest. You need 7 hours of sleep a night .
Incorrect cleaning
Unlike hair, your beard comes in contact with the food you eat . And it is more prone to being touched during the day. It is certainly the most exposed part of your body and, perhaps you have never thought about it, but also the one that can more easily absorb smog , cigarette smoke or rain, if you leave the house without an umbrella on a bad weather day (the hood can’t save her). Wash it often and use a conditioner.
Hard water
We just told you that you need to wash your beard more often, but washing if the water is very hard and rich in limescale could make it even more shaggy. What you have to do? Alternate that of the tap with micellar water or sprinkled during the day on the face of the thermal water . Also good for the skin.
Split ends
Split ends of the beard are a problem men often don’t think about. It happens exactly like hair: when it is too long, the shaft tends to fall apart, it breaks more easily and is more frizzy and harder.
Cold air
The low temperatures and the ‘ cold air can make the hairs of the rough and scratchy beard. What you can do is wear a scarf or neck warmer. The advice also applies in summer, if you stay in rooms with very strong air conditioning. There are linen and cotton scarves that will make your outfits trendy.
Too dry climate
Cold temperatures can be bad, but even artificial heating is not good for your health. Use a humidifier in the bedroom: it will be good for the mucous membranes of the nose, throat but also for hair and beard, which will not disperse in their natural moisture.
