Different types of changes keep coming in the world of styling. At one time there was a trend among boys to have a chocolatey look (clean shave), but now a rough look has started being preferred, for which keeping a thick beard is quite a trend in today’s time, but it is not so easy. Taking proper care of beard is also important, but there are many myths or misconceptions to it, on which most of the men easily believe. This can not only spoil your look but can also harm your skin. In this story we will learn about some such myths.

The growth or thickness of beard or mustache often depends on genes, while a perfect rough look can also be achieved by taking care of some small things. This is the reason why some people like the beard look good, while some may look bad with it, so let us know some misconceptions to beard care.

Thick hair due to reverse razor operation

Some people have very light beard. Regarding this, some people say that if the razor is used upside down then a denser shave starts, but this is a kind of myth. Many people try the same method on children’s hair, but using the razor upside down can hurt your skin.

Shaving too much will make the beard thicker.

The second myth regarding light beard is that shaving too much causes facial hair to grow faster and by doing so, the beard starts becoming denser or grows faster. Actually, when you shave, the upper thin part is removed and when you shave again, the hair feels a little thicker and people feel that the number of hair has increased. How thick your hair or beard will be and how it will grow depends on your genes and hormones.

Does it feel too hot?

Many people think that keeping a beard in summer can cause discomfort on the face and intense heat can be felt on the face. Because of this, people think that clean shave is better in summer, but beard can be cool for you in summer. This is not just about style, but when you sweat and after wiping it off, it feels like a light air conditioner. Apart from this, it protects your skin from UV rays to a great extent.

Will the beard always remain light?

Some people believe that those whose beard is light i.e. the hair does not grow thick, then their beard will always remain the same, but this is not the case at all. If you take proper care of your beard without falling victim to any kind of misunderstanding, then you can get a thick and healthy beard. In this, from hair trimming to grooming, supplements, you have to use the right kind of hair care products.

Does shaving cause itching?

Generally people think that all bearded people feel itching, but it is not so. Keeping a beard does not cause any itching on the skin because it is a natural process. Often you use harsh shaving products and if you do not moisturize the skin hidden inside the beard, it can cause itching or rashes due to dryness.
