Caring for Beard
There are certain things that our beard love. Once you set an everyday routine, it will automatically show you signs of improvement. And by the time you realize it, you will be surprised by the results.
Just like your regular hair, your facial hair requires special care. In fact, it requires more care as it aligns with your face cosmetics. There are two important terms in this regard, moisturization, and hydration.

Beard Oil
Beard oil is used to naturally hydrate and balance your facial hair. Regular use of beard oil improves hair growth, reduces beard-druff, and nourishes the skin underneath it. You can think of it as a conditioner that goes onto your beard once you wash it.
Beard oil is recommended for both small to medium level facial hair. You can also use it at an early stage of your hair growth process.
Beard Balm
A beard balm is another great product that follows the same attributes as a beard oil. The only difference is that it may contain 2 or more ingredients. For starters, the beeswax and natural butter found on the balm can regulate your skin.
While beard oil acts as a conditioner, a beard balm is more of like a leave-in conditioner. You can get better styling with it as it contains heavy texture ingredients. You can also use it with beard oil, but make sure there’s a gap in the application. You don’t want your hair to look all greasy and oily.
Beard Shampoo
This is a sulfate-free shampoo, designed to work with beard dyes and to help nourish the facial hair. Enriched with Argan oil and other natural ingredients, the shampoo is best for your regular usage and moisturization.
Other Beard Grooming Product

Beard Care Maintenance Tips
-
Don't Freak Out!
First and foremost, be patient and don't freak out! A lot of youngsters get tensed if they don’t grow a beard at an early stage. If you’re one of these, don’t stress out. Beard growing is a natural process. You don’t have to invest in products that offer ‘frequent’ facial hair growth. These products are mixed with chemicals that may harm your body.
When you first start growing, just make sure that you don't style or trim your beard. Just leave it as it should be for 4-6 weeks. This allows the beard to grow naturally. It will take time but eventually, you will have the results.
-
Moisturize your beard
Beard moisturization is a healthy routine. Most of the beard related problems are solved because of the healthy nutrition’s found in the beard oil. Regular usage leads to hydrated skin for a soft and smooth hair experience.
Start from beard oil once you have grown a little beard. After 4-6 weeks, you can use beard balm as well. Just don't use both of the items at the same time. It will make your hair look greasy.
-
Keep it Clean
Your facial hair is no different than the hair you have at the top of your head. Wash your beard with a sulfate-free shampoo 2-3 times each week. It will not only make your beard clean but also prevent any build-up from accumulation.

Trim your beard on time
Trimming is essential for beard growth as well. For this, you can either go to your nearest barber or use a trimmer at home. Every few weeks, check your beard in front of the mirror. Snip off uneven facial hair to gradually align the patches.
