You've made your decision: You want to grow a magnificent beard. You want it to grow quickly, evenly and thickly. With an iron will and a well-thought-out concept for beard care, your chances are good that your mighty beard will grow.
A beard is a symbol of your masculinity, it demonstrates strength and health, but only if it is well cared for. If your goal is to grow a beautiful beard, three factors are decisive: genetic predisposition, patience and careful grooming. Take a closer look at your male ancestors. Did your grandfather, father or uncle have or have only a little stubble, maybe even some down or an absolutely enviable facial hair?
There are some simple points you should keep in mind to keep your beard healthy and well-groomed.
Nothing happens unless there is first a dream. You have visualised your dream? You want to grow a beautiful beard. The first step was your decision, now comes the second. Hide the sweet temptation - your razor. Practice patience. The longer you want your dream beard to grow, the more you need. Resist the urge to shave and spend the next four to six weeks figuring out what style of beard suits you.
Is your face narrow? A full beard could add fullness and volume. Moustaches, nobly titled moustaches, divide long faces in half and can make contours appear fuller. A three-day beard takes away the perceived excess of hardness from square faces and softens them somewhat.
As stubbornly as you have to resist the wet razor while your beard is growing in length, you can wash it regularly with a fragrant, nourishing beard shampoo or beard soap as a reward, so to speak. Especially in the first growth phase, when the hairs begin to bend and tickle your skin, food residues or dead skin cells can make it even itchier.
Don't give up now. Success is the result of tackling, not giving up. Always pack a special beard shampoo in your beard grooming kit, and wash your beard. Why a beard shampoo and not the same one you use for your main hair? The reason is plausible: beard hairs are thicker and more stubborn.
Due to their structure, they have different needs. Normal hair shampoo takes the grease from the main hair that your beard hair needs. We advise you to use a mild product with natural ingredients and a pleasant scent.
Your beard doesn't get dirty every day or all the time. Wash it every now and then for a few days with warm water only, when it appears relatively clean. However, if it is really "dirty and musty", for example after a night of partying or due to accumulated residues from taming with pomade or jizz, then beard soap can help. It is gentle on skin and hair and superior to mild beard shampoo in terms of cleaning power.
No matter how long your beard is: beard oil always goes. Whether it's to get through the dreaded itchy phase of your fresh beard or if you want to give your full beard shine and suppleness. We know: The soft, well-groomed, slightly shimmering, fragrant beard is fashionable and coveted by women. Beard oil is a little miracle weapon that we would like to recommend to you.
Massage one or two drops into your three-day beard, a few more into your full beard, always nice and gentle, also into your facial skin and the ends of your hair. But don't overdo it, your beard should have a subtle shimmer, not shine like a bacon rind. So slowly work your way up to the right amount of beard oil, you can always add a few drops.
Yes, you've done it. Your patience has paid off, your beard has the length and shape you want, or at least you're well on the way. But you notice that your beard with its short hair was much easier to tame, nicely trimmed it lay perfectly against your cheeks. And now, all of a sudden, the beard hairs start to curl, standing criss-cross away from your face, driving you to despair. Be aware that very few men have beard hair that grows straight out of their face and lies beautifully.
We'll tell you the solution. Beard balm and beard pomade. Both serve to care for your beard and the skin underneath by combining valuable oils with rich waxes like beard oil. But, and this is the crucial difference or added value, they give your longer or long beard hairs additional structure and hold.
