Men’s faces make facial hair because testosterone activates the hair follicles around the jawline. Men and women both have the same number of hair follicles on their faces, but female testosterone levels are less. Also, only males can develop heavy, dense beards.
Testosterone promotes the growth of beards, however patchy beard growth does not indicate low levels of testosterone in a men. Here, we examine the reasons for patchy beards and provide solutions.
What Causes a Patchy Beard?
A man with an uneven beard has bald spots within their facial hair because some parts of their face are unable to support the growth of facial hair. As we’ll see below, some people use effective style techniques to make this patchy beard suit for them.
Male Hypogonadism
The incapacity of males to create enough testosterone, which is essential to the development of the masculine, particularly during teenagers, is known as hypogonadism. Testicular failure or a problem with the area of the brain that signals testosterone synthesis is indicated by such clinically low testosterone levels.
These two forms of hypogonadism are brought on by an accident or infection, or they are genetics. In any case, the follicles that produce facial hair are not activated due to the unusually low testosterone levels. As a result, it is hard for any form of beard to develop organically, leading to uneven beard growth.
Age
Should you be younger than 25 and seeking a cure for a patchy beard, probably, your beard has not yet attained its “full bearded growing potential.” Your hormones change many times after puberty, which results in uneven beard development. Therefore, let it a few years before attempting again, and after that, give your beard a a rest for 9 to 12 weeks to see whether it grows back slowly.
Alopecia Areata Barbae
Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune disorder, can also affect facial hair; this disorder is referred to as Alopecia Areata Barbae. Due to this illness, your body’s immune system assaults your hair follicles by mistake, causing bald spots inside of your beard. Due to the unexpected regrowth of hair, treating patchy beard growth might be the most challenging issue.
How Can I Fix my Patchy Beard?
Beard Oils
Nourishing your beard hair with natural and essential oils is a good way to hydrate the strands and provide the appearance of a fuller beard. Castor oil and black cumin oil are two types of oils that give the strands intense hydration. This will correct the appearance of your patchy beard by making the surrounding hair appear more conditioned, even if it won’t necessarily cause your hair to grow in the bald areas. It may also aid in the development of patchy beard styles that are more effective.
Minoxidil
Minoxidil is used to treat hair loss on the scalp, especially male pattern baldness. Men have started using it on their beards in an attempt to improve their uneven beards while promoting the growth of thicker facial hair.
Beard Hair Transplant
The best way to enhance beard growth is with a beard transplant. The FUE procedure is used to safely and individually remove hair from the back of your head. The uneven beard hair can be fixed by placing hair transplants into the thinning hair patches.
The hairs grow and blend in with the rest of your beard after they are placed into your facial hair.
Microneedling
A well-researched treatment for hair loss, microneedling, can also effectively cure beard hair. It’s a minimally invasive process that helps develop longer hair in the treated area by encouraging the growth of collagen, giving the appearance of a fuller beard. Mesotherapy, another name for microneedling, is frequently used in conjunction with other treatments for uneven hair growth since it has been shown to enhance its effectiveness.
Beard Hairbrush
Your hair will grow longer if you use a boar bristle beard comb as part of your beard care regimen, especially if you also use beard balm. Your facial hair appears fuller as a result.
You may also shape and maintain the appearance of your hair by using a beard brush and beard trimmer in combinatio. If you want to confidently wear a patchy beard, the finest styles to go with are goatees, chin straps, five in the morning darkness.
