The problem for most men is that once the beard reaches a certain point, itchiness can become so out of control that they shave or trim a beard too early. Combine this with a poor diet and improper skin care techniques, the facial hair looks thin and weak, to say the least. Men believe that the full beard is associated with masculinity, power, leadership, and wisdom, the thicker the facial hair growth the more respect it commands. After all, genetics is responsible even for the growth of the hairs on your hair. Some men simply have a higher testosterone level and can develop a full beard.
