So, how to effectively grow a beard?

Testosterone is one of the sex hormones in men who become the "culprit" of beard growth. And because the growth of feathers on the face is determined by genetic factors in a person's body, it's no wonder that the method of growing beards that is considered the most effective at this time is testosterone therapy which is usually given by injection.

But according to Dr. Joel M. Gelfand, professor of dermatology and epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania, we should be careful to undergo injections of testosterone at levels that are normal and not excessive.

"Because it can make hair loss from the scalp, severe acne that can leave permanent wounds, and liver disorders that can be fatal," said Dr. Joel.

Related to the many men who tried to spread their hair on their faces by diligently shaving it, Dr. Joel said that it should be left alone to grow naturally.

"Even if you shave it continuously, this will have no effect. As hair grows on your body, everything will grow according to its own growth cycle. Maybe the amount doesn't increase, but every time it grows it can get thicker, "said Dr. Joel.

What about beard creams and oils?
