Grow Your Beard
With more and more men turning to the beard trend, a well-groomed, even-looking, full beard is on-trend. However, growing and maintaining a perfect beard can be quite a challenging task. From choosing the right beard style to adjusting the growth pattern, here are some great tips to clearly help you understand how to even beard.
Cleanse your beard
The cardinal rule of having a healthy and good-looking beard is to keep it clean. Regularly washing and scrubbing your beard will help to reduce dryness, dandruff and itchiness, resulting in the best-looking facial hair. Furthermore, use a natural, beard-specific cleanser and soap, as this will help to nourish and soften your facial hair. A good way to help keep your beard clean is to take a hot shower with a dedicated beard wash that is suitable for your skin type.
Shape and style your beard
Once you have cleansed your beard, the next step is to consider a shape and style for it. Here you need to consider two factors: the shape of your face, which will help to determine the right beard style, and the length of beard that compliments your face shape. Consulting an expert barber will be an ideal choice to give you a tidy and neat beard look.
Trim, trim, trim
Trimming your beard regularly is one of the very important steps to achieving an even beard look. To ensure an even, symmetrical beard and prevent patchiness, you must have a clear definition of the beard shape – this is easy to get when you have previously discussed the style with a barber. Trimming should be done slowly and systematically and with precision. Quick snips and mistakes are easily seen and can be unsurprisingly unattractive.
Maintain your beard
Maintaining your beard is essential to keep it looking trimmed, neat and groomed. Use a trimmer to encircle your beard into symmetry and use sharp barber’s scissors to shorten any hairs that are growing longer. Investing in quality beard-care products, such as beard oil, balm or wax will help to keep the skin and hair moisturised and feeling nourished. Using these products daily will help to keep the beard looking shiny and healthy.
Adjust the growth pattern
Now that your beard has been cleaned and maintained, you have the luxury of playing around with the growth pattern and symmetry. Create a desired look by using a comb and trimmer to balance the growth pattern and create desired shape. Don’t forget to define the neck and cheek line so that your beard appears more natural and attractive.
Choose the right products
Investing in a good beard-care routine is essential to keep your facial hair looking healthy and attractive. Choose a range of products that not only complement your hair type but also your skin type. Look for products that are natural, with high-quality ingredients, as this will help to nourish and soften your beard hair.
Don’t forget about nutrition
Finally, remember that nutrition is key to achieving and maintaining a perfectly styled beard. Eating a balanced diet that is rich in vitamins, minerals and protein will help to promote the health of your facial hair. Ensure that you are getting plenty of the right nutrients to promote healthy and thick beard growth.
Groom It
Taking the time to groom your beard is key in making it look its best. Ensure that you comb and brush your beard regularly and style it in the desired way. This will help to restore volume and prevent split ends, allowing for an even and tidy look.
Treat your skin
Having a good facial skincare routine will benefit your beard growth. Cleanse your skin regularly to keep it well-hydrated, healthy and free from any dirt or impurities. Apply a moisturiser suitable for your skin type, as this will help to protect your skin from the weather elements and encourage growth.
Use Beard Oils
Using beard oils can be highly beneficial in aiding beard growth and maintaining a healthy looking beard. Invest in a natural beard oil that is made with high-quality ingredients, as this will help to nourish your facial hair, keeping it soft and looking attractive. Moreover, it will help provide hydration to both the beard hair and the skin, which will help to lock in moisture and prevent dryness and itchiness.
Style your beard with wax
For added control and definition in your beard, use a high-quality natural wax to help create the desired look. Wax is not only great for styling and shaping, it can also help to keep stray hairs in place and provide natural hold and shape to the beard.
Know the tools
Investing in a range of high-quality tools can help in achieving perfect symmetry in your beard. Choose a trimmer that is adjustable with various guard-lengths and consider investing in barber’s scissors for precision work. A quality beard comb is also essential for not only styling, but also to help detangle knots and remove dirt and debris.
Be patient
Growing an even beard is not an overnight job, so don’t expect to get the desired results without patience and care. Give your beard time to adjust to the new regime and understand that it will take time for your beard to grow evenly.
Rest
Resting is essential for maintaining healthy-looking facial hair. Taking regular breaks from trimming and styling your beard helps to reduce any damage or dryness. Additionally, getting 8 hours of sleep every evening is key in promoting healthy and even beard growth.
