"To grow a beard faster, focus on living a healthy lifestyle and taking care of your skin and beard hair. Eat a healthy, balanced diet that includes lots of lean protein to promote hair growth.

Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep every night and work out every other day to help regulate your hormones, since your hormone levels can affect hair growth.
