Not everyone can grow a beard, and many more find themselves plagued with patches. There is not one single answer for this, but we’ll try and explain the most common occurrences.
Why Do I struggle Growing a Beard?
Top of the list is genetics. Much like everything else relating to your body, genetics will determine how, where and how long you grow. Genetics influence hormones, which also affect beard growth.
Examples of such hormones re – the androgen receptors, responsible for sexual development so a lack of these could stunt beard growth. Or, later in life, too much dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can disrupt hair growth up top, but not enough will disrupt hair growth everywhere else on your body. Which explains Richard from Guess Who.

Other disruptions and delay in beard growth can occur from stress, age, your diet, hypothyroidism, smoking and general health issues.
So, how can you combat that?
