Mastering the Art of Taming a Messy Beard: A Comprehensive Guide
Beards look fantastic. They add character, keep your face warm, protect your skin and create a talking point. The one thing you don’t want people talking about is how messy your beard is. Luckily, tidying a messy beard doesn’t take long.
Lord of the Beards believes that a tidy beard helps you look the part, whether heading to work, out for a drink, or on a date. The process is more straightforward than you may realise. All you need is a few beard necessities, and you are good to go.
BRUSHING YOUR BEARD
When you wake up with bed hair, your instinct is to grab the hairbrush and tame your locks. Get into the routine with your beard. A bread comb or brush is vital for keeping your beard tidy.
Beard brushes and combs will both detangle and straighten up a messy beard. Combs are slightly better at detangling and styling, while a brush distributes products more evenly and helps condition your beard.
Your choice of brush, comb, or both depends on personal preference and the length and thickness of your beard. Lord of the Beards suggests investing in quality and avoiding cheap plastic combs, as the teeth break off easily if they get caught in your beard.
TRIM YOUR BEARD
Once you’ve brushed or combed your beard it’s time to deal with the errant hairs. Stray hairs make your beard look messy. Use a pair of sharp barbers scissors for the best result, and don’t trim too much at once.
Trimming your beard gets easier with practise. Remember, if you make a mistake, the hair grows back, so it’s not a catastrophe. Also, remember never to trim your beard when it is wet. The hair will spring up once it dries, leaving it shorter and a different shape.
BEARD BALM
Beard balm is an essential product for anyone growing a beard. Beard balm helps take the irritation out of the early stages of growing a beard when it is itchy and refuses to do anything you want it to. A good quality balm helps you tame your beard, gives it a fuller look, and looks after the hair.
Warmed between your hands, just a pea-sized amount is all you need to manage and tidy your beard. Spread it evenly through your beard and use a beard brush or comb to style. As your beard grows and becomes thicker, you may need more balm, but always start small. You can easily add more as you go along.
And that’s it, the easy guide to tidying your messy beard. Regular brushing and trimming, along with beard balm, helps keep it in tip-top condition and attracts attention. Don’t forget to wash it at least once a week, depending on your skin type, for extra body and shine.
