Whitebeard: everything you need to know
The white beard is a phenomenon that makes men panic a little, because it is synonymous with aging. Moreover, the appearance of the first white beard hairs is a source of stress, as is the case as soon as the first white hairs appear. Many men try to pull them out by hand, or even hide them by going from a long beard , like a 10-day beard, to a short beard so it's less noticeable. Even some men decide to shave their beards completely, which is a shame. Moreover, some do it as soon as they start to have a salt-and-pepper beard and they can no longer assume that they are starting to have a gray beard , a preliminary step to a white beard.
It is necessary to assume his white beard, for several reasons:
on the one hand it gives you a personality, a style,
on the other hand, for many people it is a sign of maturity.
But of course, you have to accept it, which is not easy, it is specific to each individual.
I'm not going to deal with beard coloring here, making a white beard dye is another topic. I will only deal with the natural coloring of your beard in white.
Why do we have white beards?
White beard for natural reasons
The arrival of the white beard is a completely natural phenomenon in most cases, which concerns all men. It is linked to melanin, the natural pigment responsible for the color of our body hair and hair. The older you get, the less your cells produce melanin and therefore pigment. This is the reason why we all have, whatever our basic hair color (brown, chestnut, blond, red), white hair.
The first white hairs usually appear as soon as you approach your thirties.
The white beard and stress
Another factor that can cause the appearance of a white beard is stress. Stress has a radical effect on stem cells, responsible for the production of melanin. Concretely, stress will over-stimulate the stem cells, ultimately exhausting them and causing them to disappear. And if there are no more stem cells, then there is no more melanin and the white beard comes.
The white beard and genetics
Look at your ancestors and how their beards are doing! Because genetics can also come into play as to the responsibility for the appearance of a white beard. If your ancestors all have white beards, then expect to have this type of beard at some point in your life as well.
