Having a beard is very popular these days, and for good reason too. With proper care and styling, beards can look great. However, beards are also easy to look dirty and untidy. Even if you want to, people don't like to see people who look messy. Follow these instructions to care for your beard.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Growing Your Beard
Step 1. Set a healthy diet
Hair will grow if it receives enough intake of essential vitamins. You don't need to eat anything special if you're not in a hurry to grow a beard, just make sure you eat a balanced, healthy diet. Fish have good nutrition for your hair. If you want to take supplements, you should take Biotin, and vitamin A B complex.
Step 2. Decide on a style for your beard
Try to choose a beard style that matches the hair that grows on your face. Some people have mustaches that don't connect all the way to the beard, while others have hair that grows thicker on the sides of the face than on the neck. Determine your facial hair type and choose a beard style that suits you.
Step 3. Get more sleep
Studies show that lack of sleep can slow down the growth of your beard. If you want your beard to grow properly, make sure you get enough rest.
Step 4. Ignore the itching
You will feel itchy the first time you grow a beard. The itching will subside after a few weeks as your skin has adapted. Don't shave right away just because you feel itchy.
Step 5. Do not groom the beard while it is being extended
Wait a few months for the beard to start to form before you make a different look. Your beard should be at least 3.75cm long before shaping.
Method 2 of 3: Grooming Your Beard
Step 1. Trim your beard to your desired length
It's important to trim it repeatedly in different directions to make sure that any irregular beard has been shaved off. Even if you want a very long beard, it's a good idea to trim your beard every few months to smooth out split ends.
Step 2. Decide which part of the face you want to grow hair on
Completely unshaven, untreated, and unwashed is one type of beard style. Another distinct look is the type of beard that is shaved, groomed, and washed clean. If you choose between the two, your beard will just look messy, so choose one of these styles. Shave the hair where you don't want it. For example, some people don't like to grow a beard all the way to the neck.
Make sure you brush your beard down so that the direction of the beard hair looks consistent even in the wind
Step 3. Keep your beard clean
It is very important to wash your beard. Wash your face thoroughly with soap and water every morning and night. You don't need a special soap, just use a soap that can clean the oil that has accumulated on your face. Also make sure you dry your face thoroughly. Use a clean towel and absorb as much water from the mustache and beard as possible to dry.
Step 4. Apply shampoo and conditioner to the beard
Just like keeping the hair on your head healthy, you should also keep your beard healthy. You can use the same type of shampoo you use on your hair. If your beard is short, simply wash your entire face with soap and water. If your beard is a few inches long, use shampoo. Conditioner should only be used if your beard is very long.
Method 3 of 3: Keeping Your Beard Healthy
Step 1. Apply post-shave product to the newly shaved area
Buy good products and don't choose products that smell bad. Choose scents such as cedar, juniper, citrus, sandalwood, tobacco, birch. Choose a product that has few raw materials. Stay away from products that contain strange chemicals. If you can't pronounce the chemical, you probably don't want it. You want a product that is sterilizing, astringent (meaning it tightens your skin's pores), and can moisturize your beard. Red marks after shaving will make your beard look worse, so use a post-shave product.
Step 2. Apply a few drops of beard oil to the skin
Gently work on the remaining beard using your fingers. A good beard oil can keep your beard from becoming stiff and growing strong.
- A good beard oil can also prevent excessive dandruff. There is nothing more terrifying than seeing a pile of dandruff on the chest.
- A good beard oil can also prevent your beard and face from being greasy.
Step 3. Apply wax
Wax here does not mean hair removal products. Wax is very helpful for those of you who want a long mustache, but not curved under the lips. Applying just a little wax can keep your hair in good shape and add a wilder length and shape to your beard. Purchase a beard wax at your local pharmacy and take a very small amount on your finger. Apply it on your beard and direct it in one direction until smooth.
Step 4. Apply a healthy lifestyle
Applying beard oil, applying wax, applying post-shave products, and cleaning your face are activities that you should do several times a week, while keeping your diet regular. If you want a healthy and smelling beard, you'll need to get used to this activity pattern.
