Growing a beard is one thing, but ensuring it looks neat and well-groomed is another challenge. Many men struggle with unruly facial hair that grows in different directions, making their beard appear messy and unkempt. The good news? You can train your beard to grow in the right direction with the right techniques and tools. Here’s how:
1. Brush and Comb Your Beard Daily
Brushing and combing your beard regularly is the foundation of training it to grow in the desired direction.
-
Use a boar bristle brush or a high-quality beard comb (like the one included in Mr. Beard’s Full Beard Grooming Kit).
-
Always brush downward or in the direction you want your beard to grow.
-
This helps distribute natural oils and detangles knots, preventing stray hairs from sticking out.
2. Apply Beard Oil for Softness and Control
Dry, brittle hairs are harder to control and tend to grow in different directions. Mr. Beard’s Beard Oil helps by:
-
Softening your beard, making it easier to train.
-
Moisturizing the skin beneath, reducing itchiness and dryness.
-
Encouraging uniform growth, preventing patchiness and wild strands.
Apply a few drops daily and massage it evenly through your beard for the best results.
3. Use Beard Balm for Hold and Styling
For extra control, a good beard balm like Mr. Beard’s Beard Balm provides light hold while keeping your beard nourished.
-
Work a small amount into your beard and style it in the direction you want it to grow.
-
The balm locks in moisture and helps maintain your beard’s shape throughout the day.
4. Train with the Right Trimming Technique
-
Regular trims help maintain shape and prevent stray hairs from taking over.
-
Use sharp beard scissors or a trimmer to remove uneven or out-of-place hairs.
-
Always trim in the direction of growth to reinforce its natural pattern.
5. Sleep on a Silk or Satin Pillowcase
Rough cotton pillowcases can cause friction, leading to tangled or misdirected hairs. A silk or satin pillowcase minimizes friction, allowing your beard to retain its trained shape overnight.
6. Be Patient and Consistent
Training your beard doesn’t happen overnight. Stick to your grooming routine and be patient—over time, your beard will naturally conform to your desired style.
