Why does my beard grow so fast?

[chrisbigman]

I literally have to shave every day just to say shaved. Otherwise, it won't be very long before I get a little scruff and not much longer after that when the beard really starts to form. I could grow a good sized beard in 2 or 3 weeks.

Sorry. I meant for just guys. Not sure how girls would know much about beards.

It's because you have probably really thick facial hair. Everyone's hair grows pretty fast, there's not a big difference between people, but because your hair is so strong, it doesn't damage due everyday activity like other people's hair does. The texture of your hair is genetic and you just have to live with it...
Plus, there are lots of guys who have to shave everyday to not get scruff. It's not that uncommon.

[chrisbigman]

Well, that's true.

Hair growth is largely determined by levels of testosterone. There really would not be too much you could do about. Hair can also grow faster if you eat a lot of protein and get a lot of Vitamins B1, B6 and B12.

Its normal and slows down the longer you leave it...

[chrisbigman]

I'm not so sure. I think it grows regardless.

[far2gud4u]

its like the hair on your head... you shave it and it feels like it grows quicker but actually it slows eventually.

It is the contrast between being smooth shaven and not. My boyfriend is like you, he can shave at night and its sharp by morning... 5 o clock shadow is something that men got in the olden days after shaving in the morning... you are not unusual, just normal. I would worry more if you weren't getting the stubble because it would mean you would be the soft faced sort and that isn't sexy.

[chrisbigman]

I'm confused. I thought soft face was sexy.

[far2gud4u]

no its not very masculine. There is a difference between being clean shaven and having a soft face which looks like they never went through puberty. baby faces are not nice.

[chrisbigman]

I see.

It's because you're shaving everyday, along with possibly high levels of testosterone which keeps the production of facial hair at a high.

I don't always shave every day. Just once in a while. But I've been shaving every day this week so far, started on Monday.

Because you're a big hairy man! My guy is the same, some people grow hair fast, some hardly at all...

i dont know... ask your doctor.. if this bothers you

[chrisbigman]

It's not a big deal. I ask her next time I have an appointment. I was just curious.
