Thinking of growing a beard? Read this first.
Growing a beard is more than just letting your facial hair do its thing - it’s a journey that takes patience, commitment, and the right care. Whether you’re starting your first beard or looking to up your grooming game, these tips will help you navigate the challenges and enjoy the rewards of a truly great beard.
Want the Beard
Above all, you have to truly want the beard. Don’t grow one just because it’s trendy or your mate has one. You’ll need real motivation to push through the itch, awkward phases, and the opinions of others. If you’re committed, none of the challenges will matter.
Use Quality Products
Quality beard care products are essential for growing and maintaining a healthy beard. Beard oil is essential as it helps prevent split ends, soothes itchiness, and minimises beardruff. A quality beard oil hydrates both your beard and the skin beneath, making the journey smoother and your beard softer, fuller, and easier to manage. A beard brush will assist in working the magic oil throughout your beard and to the skin beneath. We have a range of grooming kits designed for both novice and experienced beardsmen.
Shape Your Beard
Beard balm and a good comb are brilliant for shaping your beard, especially when it starts curling or kinking. These products let you style without trimming, so you don’t lose weeks or months of growth. Resist the urge to trim too soon - wait until your beard reaches your desired length, then shape it with quality scissors to avoid split ends.
Try Not to Chew Your Beard
Avoid chewing or playing with your beard and moustache hairs. It’s a tough habit to break, but chewing and excessive fiddling can cause split ends, pull out hairs, and sabotage your beard’s potential. Stroking thoughtfully is fine - just don’t overdo it.
