First, determine the type of your skin. This will help you determine what steps you need to adopt for your beard.?

For African Americans, facials applied monthly are likely to work because they exfoliate the skin.?

Eat Nutritious foods?

As for foods, eat foods rich in protein, vitamins B and minerals for healthy hair.?

According to the American Dietetic Association, the quality of facial hair depends on the health of your body. Ensure you consume foods that bring the daily amount of nutrients, and vitamins. If you fail to consume healthy food, your beard becomes brittle, dry and patchy.?

Drink plenty of water every day.?

 

Exercise helps?

Exercise helps because it results in mitigating the level of stress – the root cause of ill-health affecting your beard.?

Research shows exercise is likely to make the overall health much better. This happens because exercise enhances the production of testosterone resulting in healthy growth of beard by cutting down stress. If stress is high, it may negate the effect of testosterone.

Time cycle?

Black men need to grow beards for four to six weeks before they undergo a makeover of style.?

Waiting for such a relatively long time helps you determine if you have a high growth of facial hair. Such growth influences what style you need to choose. To keep the beard soft, ensure you keep it groomed and conditioned. This is critical.?

Trim the beard?

If you cannot afford to visit a salon, you can buy a beard trimmer and a pair of beard trimming stainless steel scissors. This will help you keep the beard ends well-groomed and in the desired shape.?

 

Take care of the skin beneath?

Clean your skin covered with your beard. Exfoliating helps take care of the skin that you cannot reach as it?s normally covered with your beard.?

Note that African American men should skip products with dyes, lanolin, and artificial fragrances. This is because they can result in skin irritation, clogged pores, and dryness.?

Avoid using soaps. They may damage the skin as they reduce the moisture and strip the skin of oils.?

You can use exfoliating cleansers containing fruit acids or salicylic acid. They are useful in preventing clogging of pores and in hastening the growth of facial hair.?

If you use a mechanically operated cleansing brush, use with it a face wash to clean the whiskers and remove dead skin cells. This helps get an even shave in the area of your face.?
