Your hairs are born under the skin inside hair follicles, which are scattered here and there on your body, and in greater quantity on your face. Three stages can be distinguished: anagen (the hair emerges from the skin), catagen (it grows and ages), and finally the talogen phase (it dies and falls out, to be replaced by a new one).
Why do you have beard holes, you may ask? There are many identifiable factors: environment, lifestyle, allergy, etc. And let's not forget diseases such as alopecia. And let's not forget that illnesses such as alopecia, the loss of hair, are often responsible for numerous holes in both beard and hair.

- Once you've stepped out of the shower, don't wring out your beard hair, as this can damage it. Use your towel to pat it out.
- A natural solution: castor oil / coconut oil. Apply one of these 2 beard oils for optimum results. This tip, used in every barbershop in Paris as well as in our Nantes barbershop, is ideal for nourishing dry hair, and therefore better regrowth.
