Beard wax: which one to choose & how to apply it?
ou're looking for the best wax to tame your beard? Even with the best care, your beard can tend, with the humidity and its natural shape, not to stay in place all day. Bonhomme invites you to discover all its tips for maintaining your beard like a real barber in its barber shop.
Beard wax: just a beard product for men?
Stop searching for the best barber shop in Paris with Bonhomme ! Wax is one of those products for men's beards that we carry in our barber shops in Paris and Nantes, and we're lifting the veil on beard wax. If you don't dare buy one, you should know that it comes in very handy if you've got thick, stubborn hair that doesn't respond to brush strokes (made of boar bristles, of course). A beard wax can be your best ally for smoothing your beard and keeping it soft and tidy.
Why adopt it at your barber shop Bonhomme
First of all, the role of a beard wax is to fix your beard hairs in the shape you want. Sometimes you get spikes in your beard, or it's too curly for your taste. Wax fixes beard hair without damaging it. Practical for camouflaging beard holes, as we say in this article, for the time it takes to regrow!
The wax has an advanced composition, for a selection of natural products so you don't feel like you've put a mask on your hair, while avoiding damaging it if you apply it regularly. You'll find beeswax, essential oils and organic oils: no chemicals!
For advice, we recommend a visit to the barbershop in Paris or the barber shop in Nantes Bonhomme : our barbers will direct you to the best products.
How to choose it for your beard?
Looking for the best beard wax? There are several on the market: your choice must take many criteria into account, so that you're satisfied with the result! Come and meet Bonhomme in one of our barber shops in Paris, or in our barber shop in Nantes: we'll be happy to reserve barbering services and beauty treatments just for you.
Pay attention to the type of hair in your beard
First and foremost, a wax is much more effective on a thick, long beard than on a beard with short, fine hairs. If you add too much material, you also run the risk of having the beard feel flat against your face, creating discomfort during the day. This product for men's beards needs to be chosen with care, to be effective.
The composition of the wax should also be taken into account, especially if you have dry, damaged or easily lost hair. A beard wax has many properties, being naturally composed of materials that revitalize the hair in depth. Wax is therefore ideal for making up for a badly trimmed beard while it grows back, as we demonstrate in our dedicated article.
What do you want the effect to be?
Then there's the question of how you want your beard to look. The more artistic you want to be, the more you'll need to use a heavier fixative. If you have curly hair and want to flatten it, a medium beard wax is sufficient.
Note that the natural composition of the wax ensures a natural shine for your beard hairs. What's more, they're nourished all day long by natural beard materials and products, ensuring a beautiful beard, even if you stop waxing.
Flagrance
Note that beard wax always has a natural scent, due to its composition in essential oils. It's up to you to choose wisely: brands have plenty of imagination to tempt you!

Once you've got your beard wax, it often comes in a metal can, as it can melt easily. Always keep it in a cool place, out of the sun, so that it retains its consistency.
Take a drop of wax and warm it between the palms of your hand, or between your thumb and forefinger, so that it becomes malleable. Then apply it from top to bottom, without rubbing the beard hairs to avoid damaging them. Always remove the excess with a beard comb, which will also draw the shape of your beard more clearly.
