Want a neat beard? Here are tips

No matter your beard style, one of the most important things that men often forget is facial hair maintenance regimen, which requires proper wash and conditioning. Here’s your guide to washing your beard properly.
USE A BEARD WASH

There are many beard washes in the market but you need to get one as per your skin type. They generally fall in two categories; liquid and solid bar beard washes. Use a small amount in your palms and gently rub it onto your beard. Make sure you don’t use too much wash.


LEAVE IT ON

It’s time to relax and get maximum benefits from your beard shampoo. Your patience while you are in the shower will be rewarded as these shampoos serve you with essential oils and hydration for each hair follicle.

RINSE IT OFF

Use lukewarm water again to wash off your beard. Lukewarm water helps in keeping the pores open. Continue massaging your beard for a while as it will help in removing leftover shampoo.


POST-SHOWER CARE

Pat dry your beard but don’t be rigorous. Once it is completely dry, you will need a styling agent that also does the job of keeping your beard hydrated, like a beard oil or beard balm. Let it soak into your beard. It’s a leave-in conditioner that will keep it looking neat all day long.

PREP YOUR BEARD

Splashing your beard with water alone won’t do and you literally need to soak your beard in water. It is important to monitor the temperature of the water as well. While hot showers are relaxing, it can have a negative effect on your beard. Opt for lukewarm water as it can increase the blood flow and help your beard get rid of any grime.
