Cold Weather Affecting Facial Hair

[Adeeb11]

This weeks definitely been a cold week out were i live, alot colder than the norm, in the 40s or so. iv noticed that in the mornings i can sometimes FEEL my facial hair growing, idk if thats whats happening or not, but i get incredibly stubbly by noon which is really quite absurd for me.

Personally mine seems to have slowed growth since the cold wave hit (BBers in the US know what I mean. I'm in Alabama and it's 18° this morning). Also it seems the shaves are closer. Not sure that's coincidence or a result but it definitely got me wondering.

Today where I'm at the high is 6 degrees. :blink: I think my beard is growing at normal speed. It has the same growth a day after I shave.

40 degrees is cold.:lol: Man I'd kill to have 40 degrees. Then maybe some of this dog gone snow would melt.

Being technical, I think your facial hair rate of growth should slow down during winter months. I am sticking to that BUT............. I shave every other day and here in the past few weeks it SEEMS as if I need to start shaving everyday. I just don't know.

I've never thought about one way or the other. My beard seems to grow at about the same rate no matter what the weather. All I know is its COLD, COLD, COLD here now. :thumbdown

I don't know about beard growth rates, but I do know that when it's real cold (as in like 10 and under for windchill) I don't shave nearly as often. The cold wind against a freshly shaven face is not a good feeling.
