Why are some men’s beards patchy?
Not all men can grow thick facial hair as this is genetically determined. Hair can only grow if a hair follicle is present. Some men have the condition alopecia areata (circular patches of hair loss) which can affect the beard as well as the head. If they are not growing a beard they may not be aware that some of their hair follicles are empty. If a man has this condition it may be permanent or temporary, in the latter case the hair follicle may re-establish. Alopecia areata is usually triggered by factors such as stress.
To conceal translucent (grey) hair you should consult with a hairdresser as to colouring the hair or beard. If you wish to permanently conceal i.e. also colour the natural new growth, then this would need to be carried out every 4-6 weeks.
Eyebrow and eyelashes can also be permanently coloured by a beautician and this also carried out every 4-6 weeks.
Alternatively, you may wish to use temporary coloured hairspray or camouflage cream in the beard area and eyebrow pencil and mascara for the lashes. When choosing hair colour it is best to match to your own natural shade, because if you go too dark as you get older it tends to highlight the lines and wrinkles lines on your face and neck, which will have the overall effect of making you look much older.
