Many men think that they just have to wait a long time and that with a full beard takes care of itself. The whole truth is: Yes, you have to wait a long time, but a beautiful beard needs to be cherished and cared for. We'll tell you which care tips you have to consider in order to grow a presentable and masculine full beard without your partner running away screaming..
Why should I groom my beard??
Counter-question: Do you want to run around like a forest man or like a connoisseur, a gentleman or just an enviable cool guy?
If you just let your beard grow, you will find out relatively quickly that it has its own whims. It grows in all directions, curls up and is indomitable. Some men say it's tough and manly. We claim: A well-groomed beard is in no way inferior in terms of masculinity. But on the contrary:
Those who grow a healthy full beard will earn recognition and admiration. And more:
- Your beard will be less scruffy and scratchy, but it will be softer and smoother.
- He'll itch less.
- You will have less beard flakes.
- Your beard is no longer a bad hiding place for leftover food, insects and the ominously lost sock.

The right beard care in 4 steps
Depending on how serious you are about your beautiful beard, you can do the following steps every day. If that's too much of a good thing for you, check every few days to see how well-groomed your beard really looks.
The basic program for beard care consists of 4 phases: cleaning, beard oil, brush and hairstyle.
Step 1: The beard cleaning with shampoo & conditioner
A beard has to deal with more dirt than ordinary hair. In everyday life, it not only comes into contact with dust and other dirt particles from the air, but is particularly affected by eating and its proximity to the mouth and nose. Added to this are sweat, dandruff and any residues from your styling products. A fine basis for an unkempt appearance and an unpleasant smell.
Shampoos and conditioners for the beard ensure that you cleanse it thoroughly and make it softer without it drying out. In this way you prevent your whiskers from becoming prickly and brittle..
You don't have to wash your beard every day. Two or three times a week is enough. Even a small amount of beard shampoo has a sufficient effect.
Step 2: soften the beard with beard oil
Note: Beard oil is the ultimate care product.
The oils moisturize your beard and nourish it with valuable nutrients. At the same time, it soothes your skin, alleviates itching and helps against dandruff. The result is a healthy and beautifully shiny beard that also smells good.
Unlike the shampoo, you can apply the beard oil every day, best after the shower..
If you have a high qualityBeard oil Make sure that it contains only natural ingredients, works with essential oils and is not perfumed. This ensures that harmful ingredients do not cause skin irritation and, for example, itching.
Step 3: shape it with a beard brush
Clever as you are, you have probably asked yourself how best to distribute the beard oil. The answer is in this beard care tip:
With a brush you not only bring wildly messed up whiskers back into place: by brushing your beard, you distribute the beard oil or the beard balm evenly. It's a gentle way of combing out loose whiskers and dandruff. The massaging effect also stimulates the production of sebum in the beard region and thus supports the body's own care.
When you brush your beard, proceed gently: stroke the brush in the direction of growth and in relaxed, loose movements. And when you take this step, watch what is falling out of the growth: Use the brush to check whether you were thorough when cleaning.
Step 4: trim, trim, style your beard
Beard hair grows like this, sometimes this way. In addition, not every beard growth is perfectly even. This is the reason that you should check again and again whether you should trim something at one point or another.
If your beard is not that long, you can use a beard trimmer to proceed. If the beard is longer or you don't have a trimmer, you can also help yourself with scissors. Use a comb for this to have more control over the cut. Twist and tame your mustache with mustache and match it to your full beard.
Depending on the style you wantkeep the neck and cheek region shorterto give your face more shape. You may also work with precision tools like oneSafety razorto shave specific areas smooth. Make sure to pay attention to oursTips for a good shaveto avoid injury.
