How to Style your Beard Like a Pro!

In the previous blog, we covered how to keep your beard looking clean and healthy. In today's blog, we will focus on the tools you need to give your beard the style you want!

Needless to say, a perfect beard needs a bit of care and attention. Washing your beard with a beard wash and applying your beard oil and/or beard balm will help keep it clean, soft and hydrated. But to make sure it maintains its shape and doesn't look untidy and patchy, you will need a few tools, to help along the way... 

 

• Beard Brush

It is generally suggested to start brushing your beard after 3-4 weeks of growth. This is usually when your beard starts getting more full, and so it will train it to grow in the direction you want and will avoid irritating the skin underneath if the beard is too short. The benefits of brushing your beard don't stop there. Brushing it once a day, will allow to evenly distribute your skin's natural oils throughout your hair. It will also help loosen any grim or dead skin trapped under your beard from the previous day. A beard brush is also an important ally to help evenly distribute your beard oil and beard balm and keep your facial hair soft. When shopping for a beard brush make sure to get one with natural boar bristles, like Babyliss PRO Oval palm brush or  Denman Jack Dean Military Brush which are more gentle on your skin and don't create static friction on your facial hair. 

 

• Beard comb 

You will typically need a beard comb if your beard is slightly longer. This is because your beard brush will only go through the surface and help shape your beard and distribute the oils and balm evenly. Your comb will help detangle longer hair and help your beard oil penetrate deeper inside the beard. The kind of comb to use will mostly depend on your personal preference. King's Crown Prestige Pocket Comb  with fine and coarse teeth is a great versatile option that can be used both for head and facial hairs, and the King's Crown Beard Pocket Comb version is the perfect comb to carry with you wherever you go!

Check King's Crown Facial Hair Kit for an all in one option that includes a beard brush, a comb and scissors to ensure that you can take care of your beard wherever you may be!   

 

• Beard trimmer

There isn't one ideal beard trimmer that works for everyone. This is usually a personal choice that depends on the shape you want to give your beard, and its size. But whatever your style, we recommend that you trim your beard regularly to ensure it grows strong and it maintains the desired shape. Wahl Rechargeable Beard Trimmer is a great option for a product that is not expensive, includes guards for all stages of beard growth - stubble, medium and long - and can be used with or without a cord. BabylissPRO Gold FX Skeleton on the other hand is a real professional tool that is ideal for outlining beards, for any detail work and for crisp line up! 

 

These two blogs are your road map for all you need to clean, hydrate, shape and style your beard. Now the ball is in your court! Having a beard is a continual work in progress and it's the attention to detail that will make it and you look great!
