If you trim a stubble beard with a 1 mm guard, does the natural hair growth cycle change the stubble beard?

No, trimming a stubble beard with a 1 mm guard will not change the natural hair growth cycle of the beard. The hair will continue to grow at its normal rate and thickness, regardless of how it is trimmed. The only way to change the natural hair growth cycle of a beard would be through medical treatments or hormonal changes.

Yes, the natural hair growth cycle will continue to affect the stubble beard, even if you trim it with a 1 mm guard.

The hair growth cycle consists of three phases:

- Anagen (growth phase): This is the active phase of hair growth, where new hair follicles develop and hair grows.
- Catagen (transitional phase): This is a short phase where the hair follicle shrinks and detaches from the hair shaft.
- Telogen (resting phase): This is the final phase where the hair follicle remains inactive and the hair shaft is shed.

When you trim a stubble beard with a 1 mm guard, you are essentially cutting off the hairs that are in the anagen (growth) phase. However, the hair follicles in the catagen and telogen phases will continue to cycle through their respective phases and eventually produce new hairs.

Therefore, the stubble beard will continue to grow, even if you trim it regularly with a 1 mm guard. The rate of growth will vary depending on individual factors such as genetics, age, and hormones.
