Essential care for your beard

Your beard is like a small animal: it’s important to feed and care for it – it’ll only get silkier.

Beard care has never been easier: these eight beard care tips will keep your facial hair looking its best. Read our tips and discover our best products for better beard care ( https://karyalbeauty.com/product-category/cheveux-homme/ )

1. First and foremost, be patient

A truly epic beard is the product of restraint. When you start to grow it, resist the urge to trim or style it, and don’t touch it for the first 4-6 weeks. This will allow the hair to grow evenly (some grow faster than others), and will help you choose a style that suits its length and thickness.

2. Adapt your beard to the shape of your face

A beard should match its surroundings. Make a practical chart after the first month of growth, and choose a final style that complements your face shape. Your beard will look better, and so will you.

3. Know how (and when) to trim

Trimming is essential for a well-maintained beard, even if you plan to let it grow. Invest in a quality trimmer and find the right technique to fit your overall plan.

4. Wash regularly

This is especially important in the early stages of growth, especially as trapped food and skin cells can exacerbate itching. Scrub your beard several times a week with a specialized cleanser, such as our Beard/ Hair Keratin Shampoo – Clove – Moringa 1, which gently cleanses beard and hair, providing the right amount of care without weighing them down, and then gently pat dry: Overzealous wiping can lead to frizz and split ends.

5. Love your beard oil

To moisturise and maintain your beard on a daily basis, applying an oil will prove particularly effective.

Beard oils can be tricky. Some are too heavy. Some are too shiny. Some are dry. Try as many as you can. You’ll know when it’s right. Our Beard/ Hair Oily Serum – Chebe – Ceramide 3″ promotes beard growth and helps discipline hair, fights itchy feelings and prevents signs of baldness. Apply to hair and beard just after Beard/Hair Moisturizing Lotion to seal in moisture followed by a 10 minute massage.  ( https://karyalbeauty.com/product/beard-hair-oily-serum/ )

6. Learn to train your beard

Regular trimming keeps your beard in shape, but it’s not the only way to keep it in line. Daily scrubbing with a comb or beard brush will help you pull out stubborn hairs and train them to grow down.

7. Don’t forget the moustache

Unless you’ve gone for a chinstrap – and we really hope you haven’t – growing an epic beard also means growing a moustache. You can keep your moustache well groomed by trimming it lightly every three or four days to avoid stray hairs. Focus on the area around your philtrum (the area under your nose) with a pair of grooming scissors.

8. Fill up

You can’t build a house without bricks, and the same goes for facial hair. Your beard is made of protein and fat, but it’s also highly dependent on vitamins B5, B3 and B9. That means lean meats, nuts, egg yolks, milk and lots of green vegetables. If you are seriously committed, you can also supplement your diet with something like his.

Now you know which beard to choose, but also how to care for it. That’s no reason to start spouting life lessons to all your friends: a nice beard doesn’t automatically make you a wise man with a good gospel.
