Question 1

How does the Beard Growth Kit work?

Accepted Answer

The active ingredient in our Beard Growth Kit promotes hair growth by dilating the blood vessels that supply nutrient-rich blood to hair follicles. It also extends the growth phase of the hair growth cycle and increases hair follicle size as well as hair diameter.

Beard Roller

The Beard Roller enhances beard growth by gently creating micro-punctures on the surface of the skin that stimulate dormant follicles, activate the body’s natural healing capabilities, and increase blood flow.

Activator Gel

Our Activator Gel works best when rubbed onto the skin after using our Beard Roller. It contains the bio-active ingredient biotin, and the action of the Beard Roller creates mini-channels on the skin that allow the Gel to be absorbed deeply.

Beard Comb

Small enough to fit in your pocket, the beard comb can be used during your daily beard care ritual or on-the-go. Using it regularly can prevent ingrown hairs by stopping newly grown hair from curling back and growing under the skin. It can also be used to distribute the Activator Gel throughout your beard for total coverage.

Sanitiser

The Sanitiser is an alcohol-based spray that is used to clean the Beard Roller before each use. As the Roller’s needles create micro-punctures on the surface of the skin to awaken follicles, it’s important to sanitise them with a few sprays before using the Roller.

Question 2

Will beard growth treatments help me grow my beard faster?

Accepted Answer

Beard growth treatments such as the Beard Growth Kit are designed to help you grow a beard faster than growing one without assistance. Here’s how:

The Kit lengthens the growth phase of the hair cycle, increases hair follicle size, and widens hair diameter – resulting in thicker, more noticeable beard hair in just a few months.
It also includes a Beard Roller to activate dormant follicles and an Activator Gel (containing biotin and Curcuma longa) that helps to nourish your skin and beard.

For some people, it can take a long time (sometimes years) to grow an even, well-connected beard without assistance. The Beard Growth Kit makes it possible to grow richer and fuller beard hair in as little as two months (with the best results seen after six months of continuous use).

Question 3

Can beard growth treatments help me to fill in a patchy beard?

Accepted Answer

Yes, beard growth treatments can be used to help fill in a patchy beard.

Our treatments can stimulate beard growth across the entire beard – even in areas that have little hair coverage. This is ideal for tackling stubborn patches and can prove especially useful when trying to encourage growth in “hard-to-grow” areas of the beard, such as the under lip area and cheek line.

Question 4

What can I expect when using beard growth treatments?

Accepted Answer

As beard growth is a naturally slow process, there is likely to be little change for the first month or two when you start using the Beard Growth Kit. But be patient. Good things come to those who wait.

After two to four months, new beard hair should begin to emerge. Initial hairs may be soft and light at the start, but should eventually become the same as normal hair.

Beyond four months, thicker, denser-looking hairs should begin to appear. Patches should start to fill in and the beard should look more even as unjoined areas of the beard begin to connect. Overall, beard coverage should noticeably improve and hairs should look stronger and healthier.

Note that some people may experience hair shedding in the first few months, but this is normal and temporary. This is because initial treatment can cause hair follicles to move quickly through the growth cycle until they reach the anagen (growth) stage. Once they reach the growth stage, hair regrowth should occur as intended.

Question 5

Does shaving help beard hair grow faster?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately there’s no quick fix to grow a beard, and shaving won’t help it grow back thicker or faster. The speed at which your hair grows is down to your genetics, so shaving more regularly is very unlikely to help accelerate your beard growth.

If you cut your hair often, you’ll know that you’re supposed to get it trimmed regularly to keep the ends healthy. The same can be said for your beard hair.

While shaving your beard might initially make it seem like it’s growing back faster, it likely appears that way because the new hair that grows back will be healthier than the longer hair that you removed. This can give the illusion of thicker, fuller facial hair.

Question 6

What beard growth tips should I follow?

Accepted Answer

While you’re using the Beard Growth Kit, here are a few additional tips you can follow to help promote healthy beard growth:

Consider taking supplements such as biotin, vitamin C, A, E, B3, B5 and B9. These can all be found in Numan’s Personalised Supplement Spray and will help support healthy skin and hair.
Make sure you incorporate plenty of protein into your diet, including lean meat like chicken and turkey, as well as beans, legumes, eggs, and nuts.
Wash and condition your beard on a regular basis, using the Beard Growth Accessories Kit to brush and style it, keeping it in tip-top condition.

Question 7

How do I care for my beard while it's growing?

Accepted Answer

The Beard Growth Accessories Kit contains everything you need to look after your beard, including a Beard Roller to stimulate hair follicles and a specialised Beard Comb to brush and style on the go.

To keep your facial hair in good condition, you should wash your beard once or twice a week - any more than this can strip away the natural oils that keep your beard hair healthy. We would recommend using a specialised beard shampoo to wash your beard with, as they are designed to soothe the skin beneath.

Question 8

How fast should my beard hair grow?

Accepted Answer

Everyone is different, and the speed at which your beard hair grows very much depends on your genetics. However, on average, your facial hair will grow 0.27mm every 24 hours, and most people can grow a full beard in 2-4 months.

With continuous care, beard rolling, moisturising, and using the Beard Growth Kit, you are maximising the chances of growing a fuller beard at a faster rate.

Question 9

How can I get a thicker beard?

Accepted Answer

If you are looking to thicken up your beard, there are a few things you can do.

The longer you leave your beard hair to grow, the thicker your beard should start to look. When your beard hair is longer, it will naturally start to fill in the gaps where you may have thinner or patchier hair.
Taking supplements like biotin can keep your hair (head and beard) in top condition, helping with the appearance of a thicker and fuller beard.
If you have light-coloured facial hair, it might help to dye it darker. This can create the illusion of a more dense beard, but you should make sure you always use dye specifically formulated for use on facial hair.
