Bears Grooming Tips:How to optimize your Beard. …more
-Be Patient
A beard is the product of self-restraint. When you start growing, leave it untouched for the first 4-6 weeks. This will allow the hairs to grow in evenly and help you pick a style that suits its length and thickness.
Match Your Beard to Your Face Shape
A beard should be in-tune with its surrounding environment.
Square Face
Keep hair fuller on the chin, shorter on the sides.
Round Face
Grow hair longer on the bottom, shorter on the sides.
Oblong or Rectangular Face
Keep the sides fuller, and the bottom shorter.
Oval Face
Oval faces are a middle ground between the other shapes, so most styles will work well.
Know How to Trim
Pruning is essential to a well-groomed beard—even if you plan on growing it out. Invest in a quality trimmer, and find the right technique to suit your master plan.
Wash It Regularly
This is especially important in the early stages of growth, when trapped food and skin cells can exacerbate the itchiness. Scrub your beard several times each week with a specialized cleanser, like Billy Jealousy Beard Wash , then gently pat it dry.
Love Thy Beard Oil
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Nothing tames a beard like regular use of beard oil. There are many varieties to choose from, in a range of manly scents, but all of them will condition hairs to make them softer and shinier. If you want to smell like a woodsman,Mr.Natty Frank’s Beard Elixir is a tried-and-true favorite.
