In recent years, men’s beards have become the trendy accessory of the moment for a neat and masculine look. Whether it’s a big, long hipster beard or a small, well-trimmed beard, everyone trims their beard to suit their face shape, hairstyle and style. But one thing is certain, the beard is living its glory days.
As a true male beauty accessory, the beard now attracts all the attention and the smallest detail hits the spot! So there’s no question of letting yourself go with an unkempt or badly trimmed beard. Barbers will tell you that a beard is chosen above all according to the nature of your hair and also according to the shape of your face. Certain shapes are particularly suited to highlighting the features of each person. Then there are the specific cut trends that you adapt according to your clothing style and personal taste.
But not everyone is born with a beautiful beard, short or long, with no holes, or with a well-trimmed beard. The secret is to maintain your beard every day! Here are 3 must-do’s to incorporate into your beauty routine to have a beautiful beard every day of the year:
Shampooing your beard
The first essential thing is not to skip the beard wash. The hairs on our hair, body or face are clusters of hair follicles in which dirt and pollution are lodged. It is therefore essential to use beard wash and conditioner products to clean your beard at least 3 times a week. And not with just anything!
If you want to have a beautiful beard, wash it with a suitable beard shampoo. To nourish them, stimulate their growth and remove dirt residues, shampoo is THE must-have product for the bearded man.
Of course (you know our position on natural products), we recommend the most natural formulation of beard shampoo possible so that you don’t apply a product full of chemicals on your face that would irritate your skin and your beard!
The benefits of beard oils
The second most important thing you need to do to keep your beard soft is to moisturize it. Too many men forget that beards dry out very quickly. Washing it is one thing, moisturising it is another.
Again, any barber will tell you, moisturising is the key to a beautiful beard. It prevents rough hairs that are hard to touch, it softens the hairs which makes them easier to shape and they are naturally shinier and grow better after moisturising.
To moisturise, it’s easy to invest in beard oil. Always aim for the most natural formula possible, try to choose an organic beard oil with nourishing and moisturizing properties. Some are especially enriched to accelerate hair growth, strengthen it, etc. If in doubt, ask your barber for advice.
For those who also want to slightly re-densify their beard and make their hair silkier and easier to tame, castor oil is a valuable ally. You can also choose a product composed of several vegetable oils (castor oil, sesame oil, argan oil….).
Finally, to apply your beard oil, simply apply a few drops in your hands and rub your beard before combing it.
Styling your beard
If this gesture doesn’t seem natural to you, it is nevertheless a precious beauty gesture to integrate into your beauty routine. Beards, like hair, can be styled! This helps prevent hair from getting frizzy, tangled, etc. And from an aesthetic point of view, a styled beard looks much neater and cleaner!
Be careful to choose your beard comb carefully so as not to damage it with a material that weakens the hairs. The ideal is a horn comb, which is naturally made of keratin (like the hair). If you find them too expensive, go for a wooden comb rather than a plastic beard comb. Style your beard daily, especially if you have a full beard!
