Grooming Tips: Maintaining a Healthy Beard

Along with attire, a man’s beard is another important point of attention. Looking at artists like Drake and Rick Ross, they display the importance of having a well-groomed beard.

An unkempt beard is really not a sight to look at and admire. On top of that, the beard accumulates sweat and if not regularly washed, it can cause irritation and bad smell. On that note, it’s important to clean your beard at least twice a week with a natural shampoo. The shampoo needs to be sulfate-free and should comprise of natural ingredients. Quality men shampoos get rid of excess and sweat leaving your beard fresh and healthy.
Tip #2: Hydrate and Condition
It’s easier to shape and maintain soft a soft beard. Hence, equip your bathroom cabinet with some beard oil with essential oils and extracts to help keep it shiny and all-natural looking. Beard oil not only conditions but also prevents itchiness, moisturizes the skin, and prevents flakes. While applying the oil, make sure you massage it through evenly.
Tip #3: Trim
An even beard is a smart beard. Therefore, you will need to regularly trim the uneven beard hair to maintain your style. For the best outcome, it’s best to use scissors as they are perfect for fine-tuning. Trimmers, on the other hand, may leave split ends. Look into a mirror and allow the face’s natural contour to guide you through the process.
Tip #4: Maintain your health
Like skin and hair, your beard can also tell you about your health.  A thin beard may be a sign that your inner health is suffering. So in order to have a thick beard, eat right, get enough sleep, limit alcohol, and exercise. Of course, genetics do play a large role in how one's beard grows.
Tip #5: Use the right brushes
Finally, avoid hard brushes that cause inflammation and beard loss. Always use a soft bristle brush that leaves no hair loss patches.
