As No Shave November ends, men are prone to finding out one thing about beards: it's quite easy to grow them, but it is completely a different thing to control them! While it is true that practically anyone can grow a beard to make a statement, one must remember that having a presentable beard requires a lot of commitment.
Here are some tips that will help you control that scruff you worked so hard for.
Trim the beard
Regular trimming helps your beard stay in shape, literally. Try to include a rubdown with a beard brush or a comb in your daily routine, as this helps your beard grow in a set direction. Don't crimp on the trimmer or the barber's scissors, as well, as these are extremely important when maintaining the look of your facial hair, according to The Hindustan Times.
Using shampoo and conditioner is manly
Remember that your beard is made up of hair, hair that is coarser than that on your head, actually. Thus, don't hesitate to use some shampoo and conditioner when washing your beard. Doing so keeps it clean and free of any irritations due to dirt.
Of balms and oils
Yes, these products actually do exist, and for a good reason, too! After washing your beard, opt to put some balm or oil into it. Balms are usually made for styling and shaping your beard, but most of them can actually work as a leave-in beard conditioner, reported DesiBlitz.
With oils, you can't really go wrong, as these products are made to specifically make your beard healthier. Oh, and some of them smell pretty good, too!
When it comes to maintaining our beard, we man have to embrace the fact that these are things we must commit to. And just as it is with everything that requires commitment, it involves hard work and a reward that's quite satisfying.
