''Science is defined as the ability to dictate the outcome of a desired resolution to a given problem, repeatedly, at will, under carefully controlled procedures.''

So let’s get straight to the point. Successfully reverse engineering the process, and effectively growing a thick healthy beard on an individual who’s facial hair is sparse, or who can’t grow beard, has yet to be scientifically proven.

If it were indeed true that we could grow a thick beard through our own will, I believe a large majority of men would have successfully undertaken the process and everyone would be walking around with a thick manly beard, as beards are a cultural symbol of virility, masculinity, and wisdom. It’s in human nature to look towards one specific reason as to why we are or aren’t receiving our desired results, and categorize and label that one reason as the definitive truth.

Oftentimes the truth requires examining a variety of differing possibilities that attribute to a desired outcome, a cognitive capacity that, in the age of technology, smart phones and rapid speed answers, has diminished significantly.

We ourselves at the Dillingers team also wish to get to the bottom of this mystery of the universe, in an attempt to properly educate ourselves as well as the public. We aim to seek the truth and causes of actual effective beard growth.

Today, we’ll be reviewing a variety of different reasons that are contributing to, or detrimenting, the growth of your facial hair. Any theory that cannot be backed up with scientific evidence is merely a hypothesis, therefore I openly claim, before beginning, that the first point I wish to point out is the most scientifically significant determinant of facial hair growth.

Let’s take a look at scientifically what actually causes thick beard growth. Unfortunately, I’m going to start with the bad news but there is however a glimmer of light at the end of every dark tunnel.

The scientific literature is evident. Eating a clean, natural, wholesome diet influences the manner our bodies react biologically, cognitively, and emotionally.

What you decide to put into your body is precisely what you will get out of it. Much like vehicles, the usage of certain types oils and gasoline can drastically affect the longevity and mileage you get out of your car. The human body is a wonderful specimen that we have yet to fully comprehend the inner workings of.

Muscular growth and stimulation require lean protein, stress, and sufficient rest to properly regenerate. In order to maximize the rate at which you can comprehend and effectively disassemble complex problems, the brain requires omega 3 fatty acids from fresh fish, avocadoes, and nuts to maximize it’s processing speed. In order for healthy hair itself to grow steadily and uninterrupted, an emphasis on a diet based on biotin(eggs), selenium(brazil nuts), omega 3 fatty acids(fish), vitamin D(mushrooms), and the l-lysine amino acid(beef) as well as iron (chicken liver) and zinc (oysters) are crucial for optimal healthy hair growth.

As hair growth is initiated beneath the surface of the skin, any substance or residue laying on the surface area itself, clogging the pores can potentially impede the rate at which the hair allows itself to push up and out of the pores of the skin.

Besides the fact that washing, exfoliating, and moisturizing the skin on your face stimulates your skin’s natural elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and contributes to the overall luminosity of your face, undertaking the following procedures also stimulate the healthy growth of beard hair beneath the follicles.

Generally, a 3 step process contributes to the maximum health of your skin, and pores, encouraging the optimal health of the workings underneath the pores.

1. Washing the skin with a light facial cleanser removes dirt, sweat, oil, and debris itself from the surface of the skin. *(Moreover, washing your face is even more relevant to the times we currently live in as a basic hygienic practice. It’s currently of fashion to wear reusable cotton based masks in the fight against Covid-19. Not only do the masks themselves require to be washed every day, but the debris and buildup from the heat of your breath underneath the mask sticking to your face, must be washed every day.)

2.Exfoliating the skin. After washing the surface of the skin itself, a deep cleansing of the pores beneath the layers is still required to remove debris from underneath your clogged pores. Deep exfoliation strips the skin of it’s dead layers allowing the pores of your skin to breath effectively.

3.Moisturizing the skin regardless of cold Canadian winters is required due to the majority of major Canadian cities water supplies being fluoridated and chlorinated. Fluoride and chlorine are used to kill bacteria in major water supplies but as a result, they often cause skin to dry out, as well as stimulate other health related issues.
