Beards: they’ve certainly grown on us. They made their victorious comeback back in the late Naughties, much to the delight of the ladies, and show no signs of going anywhere.
But what to do if you or your significant other just can’t cut it in the facial hair game and grow a fierce beard? You’re in luck. There are now products formulated to help grow beautiful, full beards.
According to Trung Vien, owner of Hair Folli, many men thought isolation would be a great time to experiment with growing a beard. But it can actually be a lot more difficult than it seems.
‘A lot of men have issues growing a beard,’ he says. ‘They suffer from poor growth, patchy growth, weird patterns of hair growth, beard dandruff and even really odd hair colour.’
How to grow the ultimate beard
Trung has four key tips for men wanting to grow a beard:
- Improve your diet and eat foods rich in vitamin C, A and biotin
- Use a trusted hair growth product to support and stimulate hair growth
- Avoid using soap or body soap on your beard – these are too harsh
- Massage the beard area regularly to stimulate blood flow
Trung launched his hair regrowth product, Hair Folli, while in isolation. Hair Folli is made using a key hero ingredient – the Kakadu Plum. It’s an Australian fruit found in northern Australia used for thousands of years by Indigenous Australians as an antiseptic and healing product for the skin and is said to contain more Vitamin C and antioxidants than any other fruit on the planet. It has powerful healing properties and also stimulates blood flow and growth in the skin – ideal for hair regrowth.
‘Since launching Hair Folli, we have been overwhelmed with enquiries from men wanting to use the product to help grow a beard,’ says Trung.
‘Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone linked to hair loss and other health issues. Beard growth is affected by this hormone. As we all know, hormones are connected to our diet. Vitamin A, Biotin and Vitamin C are essential nutrients for beard growth.
‘Rather than take synthetic manufactured hair loss supplements which can cause unwanted side effects, I thought why not improve your diet and use a product rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants to support hair regrowth?
‘Applied to the skin, Hair Folli helps stimulate improved blood flow to the hair follicles, supporting better hair growth.’
‘Growing a beard in isolation is a great way to undertake the journey in peace and experiment with different styles without fear of being judged or criticised,’ Trung concludes.
