How do you soften your beard?
It's true that hair is trendy. But it's also prickly! It can be just as unpleasant for you as it is for your other half to smell a dry, coarse hair. As you can see, beard care is not only an aesthetic tip, but also a practical one, for undeniable comfort for you and all those who come into contact with it.
1. Test the hardness of your hair
Maybe it's your other half or someone you know who's reproaching you for the hardness of your hair, even though you don't feel it. There's only one test you can use to prove them right: a balloon! Sensitive, it bursts at the slightest friction. Get yourself a balloon and try it out. If it bursts after a few seconds, you've got to face facts: your hair is hard and you've got to look after your beard so you're no longer a balloon serial killer.
2. Take care of your beard every day
To maintain your beard, you need to take care of it every day with the right products. If you're looking to grow your beard, there are a multitude of useful and above all natural beard growth products. As part of your daily beauty routine, take care of your beard by cleansing it with an appropriate beard shampoo. Don't forget that dry hair doesn't mean dry skin: find a beard growth or nourishing product that respects your skin. Your skin will be more receptive to the arrival of a thicker beard, and easier to maintain.
3. Beard oil: the trendy trump card!
It's good to have beautiful skin ready for your razor stroke. But before you embark on the arduous task of shaving, it's a good idea to prepare it with a beard oil. Among the many beard oils on the market, you can find one to suit your hair needs. Coconut beard oil will deeply nourish the hair, while castor oil will accentuate regrowth. Always warm a few drops in your hands and apply sparingly all over your beard. Gentlemen, when it comes to beard care, you need to take your time and use the right beard oil to achieve impeccable results!
4. Discipline your beard in a few easy steps
Once your beard has been shampooed, cleaned and oiled, you still need to give it that final combing. A beard brush or comb are essential, but you need to choose them carefully. Forget plastic brushes that pull on the hairs and risk damaging them, and prefer a boar bristle brush. These are known not to pull on the bristles, for gentle brushing that respects the nature of your beard hair.
5. Dare to smooth for a sensation of softness
Even the best boar bristle brushes are no match for hairs that are sometimes too recalcitrant to be brushed. Our ultimate solution? Smooth your beard with a comb and hair dryer. Even if this method is successful, you may prefer to use a mini straightening iron for optimum results. By blow-drying, your beard hairs will keep their shape, even after many shampoos. To avoid burning the hair, always apply a dab of beard oil before brushing to protect it from the heat. This last method is particularly appreciated by bearded men with long curly or frizzy beards. As well as serving as a beard-growing product, beard oil has numerous properties to ensure your beard is soft and protected.
