I've had no problems with my goatee. The lip and chin hair grow in fine. Until this past week, however, I've had no hair growing in along my jaw line and up to my sideburns.

Is there a reasonable, realistic way to encourage the growth of this area of hair?
 
The inevitable Murphyism. Or Paradoxical Shave?

I may not be speaking from personal experience :idunno: but

I've been told 1,002 times that shaving somewhere you want to *rid yourself of hair will actually encourage growth
(by irritating the hair follicles?).

This will no doubt be ignored or refuted, but hey, that's the hearsay. :upsidedow

This is better advice! 😀

And if that does not work, tell your beard you will hold your breath...

But for real, the beard will come if it is meant to. I am clean shaven, yet I can grow a beard like the amish.
 
I read from some kind of doctor somewhere said that nothing can change the thickness of your hair no matter how much you shave it because it's a part of your DNA that defines the type of hair you have. However, I am not sure if this applies to speeding up the process and/or if this could affect your hair growth or what not if you add a supplement such as Rogaine to it. Also, others claim and swear up and down that shaving does make your hair thicker, but I don't completely agree. I've been shaving my legs for approximately 10 years or so, and you would think that if this theory was true then the hair on my legs should be as thick as a dime!? 😕

my hair was always fine...now that i'm growing it out again, it's become thicker..which is very strange..

i'm thinking there is no way to make facial hair grow faster, unless you follow the advice about shaving it, which sometimes does make hair grow faster...
 
There's not much you can do to change the growth of facial hair. It is pretty much genetically determined. You can look at your father, grandfathers, and uncles to get a pretty good idea of what your potential for facial hair growth will be.

Note that facial hair appears in typically pattern, starting with the upper lip around the onset of puberty, followed by the chin and sideburns, and later along the jawline and the cheek area. Not all men will develop the full beard.

In my own case, it was well into my late 20s before my beard had fully developed.

If your older male relatives can grow full beards, and you are in your teens or early 20s, then you may just need to wait a few more years. Otherwise, you may just need to content yourself with goatee and sideburns. On the plus side, you don't have to shave as much, and many women like a man with a smooth face!

lol me too, but I'm clean shaven as well because I look odd with a beard.

But yeah dude, if you want to encourage growth, keep shaving the area you want to focus on. As someone else said, that will stimulate the hair folicles and encourage growth.

Or you could take the easy way out and dab a little Rogain around the old jaw :jester:

Do you have thick ear and nose hair also? :wowzer:

Bro, I had the same problem for years... I wanted to have a nice full beard so I could portray a convincing Santa Claus at Christmas... But by the time I finally grew in the sides well enough, my care for other people's kids was critically diminished by working with them...

All I can suggest is standing in front of a mirror, tensing up every muscle in your body a la Hiro Nakamura from "HEROES", and pray the increased blood pressure will force the little bastards out before you have an aneurysm...

So... good luck with that. Sorry I couldn't help more. I'm afraid it's more a matter of time, genetics and hormones, friend. 🙁

And that ridiculous comment was my 500th post. Whee. 🙂
 
Try rubbing chicken manure on the hairless areas of your face, and sleep with it on overnight. You will wake up the next morning, and your beard will be so thick and full that you will need to go to the barber for a trim. :wiseowl:
 
Of the latter loony laugh-stigators....

Oh, yeah, like Isabeau would be inclined to SHARE that information.... 🙄

Time well spent!! Congratulations!! :dogpile:
A Quintuple-Centurion push for upper body constipation and it's questionable side effects!! :bump:

Then again, that might just work.... :idunno:

Viper must be so glad he asked :xpulcy:

Contrary to what several people have suggested, shaving does not cause hair to grow in thicker. There are two likely explanations for this myth. One is that shaving cuts off the naturally tapered end of hair, leaving a blunt thick end of the hair exposed, which feels stiffer and coarser. Also, over the course of puberty and early adulthood the quantity and coarseness of hair in the areas that people often shave, including the face, legs, and airpits, naturally increases. Therefore if you stop shaving for a while, you might notice that the hair is thicker and/or covers a larger area, but that would have happened regardless of whether you shaved or not.

As as been metioned by several earlier posters, your body and facial hair is strongly determined by your genetics. Looking at the facial hair extent of your older brothers, uncles, father, and grandfathers will give you a good idea of your potential for beard growth. If they are all relatively hairless, chances are pretty good that you will be too. If they all have pretty full beards, then you may just have to wait a few years, since the cheeks are often one of the last places to develop secondary hair in late teens or early adulthood.
 
Adding facial hair is easy. All you need is some glue, a pair of scissors, and a (preferably clean) yak... 😀
