Welcome to The Proper Barbershop, your local destination for men’s grooming in Newport News, Virginia.
Today, we’re going to talk about one of our favorite subjects: beard care.
If you’re looking to grow, maintain, or improve the health of your beard, we’ve got you covered.
Here’s our ultimate guide to beard care:
1. Keep it Clean
The first step in maintaining a healthy beard is to keep it clean. Dirt, oil, and dead skin cells can accumulate in your beard, leading to irritation and even infection. Here’s how to keep your beard clean:
Wash your beard weekly with a gentle, beard-specific shampoo. Avoid using regular shampoo, as it can strip your beard of its natural oils.
Use a beard brush or comb to distribute the shampoo evenly and to remove any tangles or knots.
Rinse your beard thoroughly and pat it dry with a towel. Avoid rubbing it vigorously, as this can cause damage.
2. Keep it Moisturized
A dry beard can be itchy, flaky, and uncomfortable. To keep your beard moisturized and healthy, try these tips:
Apply a beard oil or balm daily to keep your beard soft and supple.
Choose a product that contains natural ingredients like jojoba oil, argan oil, or shea butter.
Massage the product into your beard and skin to promote healthy hair growth and to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs.
3. Keep it Styled
Whether you prefer a wild and rugged look or a neat and trim appearance, it’s important to keep your beard styled to suit your personal preferences. Here are some tips for keeping your beard looking its best:
Invest in a quality pair of beard scissors or clippers to trim your beard regularly.
Choose a style that complements your face shape and hair type.
Use beard butter or pomade to style your beard and to keep stray hairs in place.
4. Keep it Healthy
A healthy beard starts with a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips for maintaining a healthy beard from the inside out:
Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to promote healthy hair growth.
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Get enough sleep to allow your body to repair and regenerate.
