Training Your Beard: How to Get It Growing the Right Way
Some days it feels like your beard has a mind of its own – with hairs that defy gravity and ignore all instructions.
We’ve all been there. The good news? With a few simple habits and the right routine, you can tame the beast and encourage your beard to grow the way you want it to.
What Does “Training Your Beard” Actually Mean?
You can’t permanently change the direction your hair grows – but you can guide it.
By sticking to a consistent beard care routine, you can gradually encourage your beard to sit better, look tidier, and behave itself day‑to‑day.
Three Steps to a Well‑Trained Beard
Step 1: Brush or Comb Daily
Consistency is key.
Daily brushing helps distribute your natural oils – and any beard products you’re using – evenly through your beard. This makes it easier to style, reduces tangles, and helps guide hairs into place over time.
We recommend a quality beard brush with dense bristles and a decent surface area to create enough friction to grab the hairs and keep them in line.
The BEARDED. Beard Brush is made from natural boar bristles, designed to stimulate natural oils beneath the beard. Soft enough not to irritate the skin, but firm enough to reach the base of the hairs and dislodge dry, flaky skin.
While a brush is best for training, a beard comb is also a must – especially for longer beards. A comb helps detangle knots and keep things tidy. Beardbrand’s Pocket Beard Comb is compact, durable, and made from Italian cellulose, so it won’t cause static.
Step 2: Use the Right Grooming Products
Adding a few core grooming products to your routine will make a huge difference when it comes to taming unruly hairs.
Beard Wash: wash your beard 2–3 times per week to keep it clean and manageable.
Beardbrand Utility Wash is sulphate‑free and designed for beard, hair, and face – simple, effective, and long‑lasting thanks to its generous size.
Beard Conditioner: used daily or once or twice a week, conditioner adds weight and moisture, helping calm flyaways.
Beardbrand Utility Softener restores hydration lost during washing and helps strengthen hair to reduce breakage.
Beard Oil keeps the skin underneath hydrated and prevents beard hairs from drying out. A well‑oiled beard is easier to detangle, train, and style.
Beard Balm provides hold, helping lock hairs into place and tame stubborn strays.
Beard Butter keeps things soft, nourished, and manageable.
Step 3: Be Patient (and Don’t Over‑Trim)
When it comes to beard growth, patience matters.
As your beard grows longer, the added weight helps it sit better and follow the direction you’re training it to go. Trim when needed – but don’t overdo it.
Focus on trimming split ends rather than chasing every stray hair. Let your brush and products do the heavy lifting. Cut too much, and you’ll only slow your progress.
Step It Up: Add Collagen to Your Routine
Adding collagen to your daily routine can support healthier beard growth by:
- Improving hair density and texture
- Supporting follicle and skin health
- Helping reduce dryness and beardruff
We recommend Pure Marine Collagen – an odourless, flavour‑free powder made from 100% pure hydrolysed marine collagen.
Add a scoop to your morning coffee or tea. It dissolves instantly and takes no effort at all.
Final Words
A well‑trained beard doesn’t happen overnight. It takes patience, consistency, and the right tools.
At BEARDED., our goal is to give you both the products and the know‑how to grow your best beard. You bring the patience – we’ll handle the rest.
