It's that time again: Men (and women too) around the world are embracing the challenge and not shaving for a month. November will be the time where you'll probably see more and more people especially the gentlemen with lush and stylish facial Hair.
But why?
The "No-Shave-November" is a trend came from the USA to many countries. It means not to shave for 30 days. What many don't know is that the goal of No-Shave-November is not to Grow the coolest Beard in one month. This challenge is especially about to alert people with cancer, who usually lose their own hair during chemotherapy. In addition, a gib goal is to raise money for cancer research and education around the disease and also for patients who can not afford the expensive treatments otherwise.
The basic idea is to save the money that people would normally spend on shaving products like cream, razor blades and more and donate it for a good cause. But don't worry: nobody has to run around tomorrow like Tom Hanks in "Cast Away", hair care and trimming is allowed.

For men...
Finally, the men have a reason to grow the beard or even the "Schnauzer" they always wanted, and don't need to be scared of the reactions of the girls. Just put your favorite motivation on your custom phone case and there you go!
Has the beard then grown or been there and not shaved off, complete with a customized t-shirt to customize your lumberjack look. Unfortunately, the goodwill alone is not enough to grow a beautiful beard,... genetics also play a role.
But there are a few and nice tricks for the men's out there:
1. Face Care - A household recipe recommends that you wash your face in the morning and in the evening with warm water and a mild detergent, as clean skin makes small hairs grow better.
2. Eucalyptus - Products with Eucalyptus extract make the hair on your face grow even faster.
3. Sleep - A healthy body needs enough sleep to regenerate, so even damaged skin cells are repaired and so hair growth is stimulated.
4. Sport - Sport reduces stress, which is a hindrance to hair growth of any kind. In addition, sport stimulates the blood circulation, your face is better supplied with blood and the beard grows (slightly) faster. Finally, during sports and especially muscle building testosterone is released, which is like natural fertilizer for beard growth. Who makes sports also sleep better as well.
5. Patience - Last but not least: of course, just let the beard grow. It is still a myth that regular shaving promotes beard growth. It is not scientifically proven, it is more like that your beard becomes stubbly and starts to itch.
Whatever a man with a full beard can probably confirm, such a beard will not grow overnight, it needs time... the no-shave November is the perfect opportunity!
For women...
Not only men should be privileged, but even the women are also allowed to lick their legs for 30 days, or donate the money they would otherwise spend on hair, hairdresser, hair conditioner,...
Since just long pants are announced, just let's got! It saves you the time to shave, itch and of course the money for razors and hair products and creams.
If this is too extreme for you, you can consider trying alternatives to shampoo from the supermarket, which is usually sinfully expensive and often promises many things that are not really necessary or even invented for marketing purposes.
For example, hair soap hast the same effect as liquid shampoo only with fewer ingredients, perfumes, softeners and not least packaging. You do something good for the environment and you save money because a block of hair soap lasts much longer than the vial of the big brands.
Another cheap, natural alternative is rye flour, just mix with water depending on your hair type and you're done. Easier and cheaper barely.
In this way, you can save some money, which you can donate again and thus bring the fight against cancer a bit further.
Your hair is sacred to you and you can not make friends with any of the mentioned ways above? Then sit back and support someone who dies it. For example, designing a mobile or tablet case yourself is an easy way to "get involved" and show solidarity with the "Movember" and all no-shavers.
What really matters...
No matter how you decide to participate in No-Shave-November, it is enough to think about the topic and to take precautions on a regular basis.
If you still have a bit money left in December, then put your new fabulous head of hair on a cell phone case so everyone knows "I was there" and you're not too sad if you decide to shave off your beard again, because the memory of this crazy month remains.
