Hi, guys. Mike here.
This is my take on beard maintenance:
Inadequate care and lack of actionable maintenance know-how are both the genesis of hair loss amidst other beard problems such as:
- Patchy or slow growth.
- Beard acne and dandruff.
- Itchy and flaky under-beard skin.
- Smelly and tangling growth.
- And some other really serious conditions.
So:
If you believe you deserve the best beard there is, having the right grooming tool kit is but half the battle. Adopting the best practices and committing to them is the real work that brings results.
So, the question is:
Are you ready to commit? Yes?
Then keep reading to discover the 5 best beard maintenance tips for healthier, fuller, and well-styled facial hair you can be proud of.
1) Swap Head Shampoos For Beard Shampoos
Accepted, beard or head, the key ingredients of every shampoo are almost the same. However, the concentration varies. More so for head shampoos that contain some added aggressive washing agents.
This is another thing to note:
Facial skin is sensitive, and unlike our scalp that’s adaptive, it reddens, drys out, and loses hair on exposure to harsh chemicals. So, if you’re experiencing patchy growth or a similar problem, it may be a sign to replace your shampoos.
2) Apply Smelling Beard Oils
Get this:
Regular application of the right type of beard oil is needed for beard-skin protection and moisturization. It also keeps the beard hydrated and conditioned. Even better, some special facial hair oils come with added benefits.
What do I mean?
Well, for those who barely started growing stubble, some oils branded “beard growth” helps to enhance faster healthier growth. Similarly, these reviewed nice-smelling beard oil will put an end to beard odor and bring a sweet pleasant smell to the facial hair.
3) Exfoliate Voluminous Beards Once In A Week
For those who possess a fully-grown mane, shampoo-washing it is not enough. The longer and fuller a beard grow, the more it collects dirt: It collects food particles and dust bags, and house bacterias beyond the cleaning capacity of a shampoo.
To that end:
Weekly beard exfoliation is recommended, especially to get rid of hidden dead skin. Once in a week is enough and you can do it at home by yourself with Brikell’s men renewing face scrub.
4) Comb & Brush Your Beard Regularly
They go hand in hand:
Daily combing trains the beard to grow in the desired direction with a fuller appearance. Similarly, brushing facial hair keeps away the daily dirtbags collected before they get clingy.
But how often should you comb and brush the beard?
Well, all things equal, fully-grown beards should be combed/brushed twice a day, and short facial hair should be brushed/combed once daily. But in a dusty weather/environment, there are no limits.
5) Style & Trim Beard As It Grows
Always remember this:
Styling your beard redefines your personality and trimming a rough one redefines your beard statement. Some must-have styling products are beard wax, beard balm, and beard & scruff softener (for thick hair).
Likewise:
A pair of scissors and a beard trimmer should be included in your grooming kit to keep your mane in shape whenever it loosens out.
