Beard shampoo: an amazing beard product?
No doubt you've already heard the shampoo referred to as THE revolutionary beard product. And it's a rumor not born without foundation! In fact, beard shampoo should not be replaced by your hair shampoo. There are many reasons for this: your beard hair isn't the same thickness and/or doesn't respond to the same issues as your hair.

Conditioner: always so chic
You've just rinsed your hair and you're planning to move on to the drying stage? Big mistake! Shampoos, with their cleansing and washing actions, can be beard products that run the risk of drying out the hair and damaging it. With a conditioner, you nourish your hair without making it greasy, and give it back all the softness and shine it needs. This is the trick every barber and hairdresser uses to ensure that beard trimming is carried out on relaxed, nourished hairs, so as not to break them when trimming.
Scrubbing according to the rules of the art
If you've got a big beard, you probably sometimes feel that your beard is itchy. It's perfectly normal: hair prevents oxygen from reaching your skin, making it crumble: this is the appearance of beard dandruff. Not to mention the fact that your beard can prevent certain types of dust from escaping, accelerating dryness of skin that hasn't been properly washed. To solve this problem, exfoliation is a beard care product that is sometimes overlooked, yet very useful. By using it once or twice a month (depending on the thickness of your beard), you clean off all dead skin.
There is such a thing as a beard mask!
A beard mask is a beard product that provides in-depth nourishment for your beard hair. While the scrub cleanses your skin and hair, the beard mask provides it with all the nutrients it needs to flourish. If you wish, applying a touch of beard oil is the perfect finishing touch to keep your beard soft.
In my pocket: beard oil
Beard oil is widely available on the market. The diversity of these beard products stems from their nourishing qualities, recognized by users and much sought-after by many bearded men. In addition, the explosion in demand for beard care products has led to this diversification of beard products. At your favorite barber shop, Barbier Bonhomme, you'll find a concept-store with a wide range of beard oils, each with its own amazing properties: castor oil, argan oil, coconut oil, eucalyptus oil, etc., and a wide range of beard care products.
The traditional cabbage slicer
You don't yet own that indispensable barber's tool, the cabbage trimmer? If you learn to handle it with precision, you'll be able to rival the beard trimming technique of any barber or hairdresser, thanks to this instrument and beard care product.
A sharp pair of scissors
If you're a stickler for detail, don't forget a pair of scissors for trimming unwanted hairs that are sometimes out of reach with a trimmer such as an electric razor. We're thinking in particular of the hairs around the nose and chin. This tool is more than useful for drawing in the finishing touches.
The hot towel to relax your skin
You've just got out of the shower and your beard is soaked: use a towel! The towel can be small enough for easy handling. Our first tip is to always pat, never rub, to avoid damaging your beard hair. Indeed, rubbing risks creating frizz, which can get in the way when you want to trim your beard with precision.
Beard balm: sometimes the beauty tip we've been missing
Beard balm differs from beard mask in that it takes less time to work, and can be used every day without greasing your beard. While a beard oil is perfect for adding a touch of shine to your cut, Barbier Bonhomme recommends a beard balm for deep nourishment, without the need to remove the beard care product.
Discover the benefits of boar bristle brushes
Don't own a boar bristle brush yet? That's a mistake when you know that it's sometimes the final note that differentiates a well-groomed beard from a beautiful one. Barbier Bonhomme, in its barber-hairdresser salons for men, uses only this brush to complete a beard trim. Softer than a plastic brush, it detangles without tugging at your beard hair.
For thick beards: the essential horn comb
It's undoubtedly true that Barbier Bonhomme is a barber and hairdresser like no other, using exceptional beard care products. He uses beard care products renowned for their natural properties. And every one of our barbers knows how to use each product according to the beard hair of the bearded customer. But you still need to be able to detangle your beard all the way through! If you have a boar bristle beard brush and a big beard, you'd better use a horn comb. Thanks to its natural material, it doesn't damage the structure of the hair, even when wet.
Wax: perfect for shaping your beard
For those who like to shape their moustache, what could be better than a beard product like wax? It's perfect for creating the shape you want, without damaging or smothering the hair. Always clean your beard thoroughly in the evening, to prevent the hair from drying out.
