You need to brush them in the opposite direction of your desired direction. Here are the most important reasons that we brush beard up, first. Beard styling is not rocket science or anything like that. In fact, it is an easy thing to do. It just requires minutes a day and you are fine. If you really care about your beard and your appearance for yourself or you just wanna impress girls, etc , minutes a day is not a big deal, right?
If your facial hair is tangled or some of your hairs have opposite direction than others, it will be impossible for you to have an amazing beard. Combing your beard back down is obviously a must thing to do, otherwise you may look very weird to be honest. But, in general, the reasons you wanna comb your beard down are:.
When it comes to beard combing, combing your beard down is what gives this sharp, alpha male look, that I am pretty sure we all want.
It is exactly the same as when you are shaving your face. The same applies to beards. But, at the end of the day, it is a very easy and simple process. The final benefit that brushing your beard down has is that it removes dead hairs from your face, giving space for your skin to breath but also for new hairs to grow.
This is good for a healthy face and a healthy beard. They let it grow without taking care of it at all…This is very disappointing because it takes me literally 15 minutes to wash my face, apply oils, balms, and stuff and brush it.
Here is our best-recommended beard brush. Beard hair is different. It should, in theory, produce more of a V-shape to your beard. The fore beard is the hair over the chin that usually forms the lowest point of the beard.
Brush down the fore beard, neatening and straightening it. Overall, brushing the cheek beard and fore beard downwards in the direction of the chin area will give the beard a nice, sharp outline. Any strays will be gently pulled in the direction you want them in. It just looks so much neater.
The neck beard can more difficult to brush. Flattening it out too much can make the lower beard look — well, flat. Brushing the upper parts of the neck beard gently upwards towards the chin gives the lower beard fullness, and supports the fore beard from behind very well. Again, having a routine is crucial to effective beard grooming.
Follow these steps for consistently impressive results. Start off with once a day and see how it goes. Doing it too much can rob your skin of the natural sebum oil lying at the bases of the hair shafts.
Using head shampoo for this is possible, but not recommended. The chemicals used for scalp hair are pretty harsh on beard hair, and also facial skin. This sebum oil can be used to your advantage. This makes the beard look well moisturized, but not oily. Start by simply washing your beard with lukewarm water.
Avoid hot water, as it can damage the integrity of the hair. Then, apply a quarter-size amount of your beard wash to your palm. Using an exfoliating wash afterward is a great way to get rid of dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin. This gunk can clog up and mattify the bases of the hair, leading to tugging and pulling during the beard brushing process.
Removing it can allow the boar bristle beard brush to glide across the skin more effectively and with less irritation. But over-exfoliating in itself can be harmful to the skin, leading to soreness and irritation. Try not to do it more than once a week. As always, when trying out a new product, apply a small amount on your arm or leg first to see if you have a reaction to it. Oils are essential for giving a beard a healthy shine and glow. This could be natural sebum oil from your skin, or artificial beard oil you can easily purchase for yourself.
Beard oil is fantastic because it nourishes the beard. It usually consists of oils such as jojoba oil and argan oil which have great moisturizing properties. The bristles of the brush can evenly distribute it throughout your beard far more effectively and efficiently than your fingers ever could. The beard brush will also re-distribute natural sebum oil that may have accumulated at the bases of the hairs.
Beard brushing direction is so important. Brushing in the wrong direction leads to untidiness — the beard will be trained to grow in the wrong directions over time. As a general principle, brush downward towards your chin for the best outcome.
In other words, in the direction of growth. The neckbeard is the hair behind the fore beard that as the name would suggest, forms a layer over the neck. Brushing this area under the chin is a little bit harder because hair can grow in all sorts of directions here.
So, to sum this up, your cheek beard should be brushed either diagonally downward toward the chin or vertically downward. The mustache and fore beard should usually be brushed downward.
Starting at the cheeks and working your way downward is a good option. When brushing, be firm but not rough. If you feel a little tugging or pulling, adjust your angle and be gentle to avoid pulling out hairs prematurely. The boar hair bristles should glide through the beard with little to no fuss.
Some men may prefer to use a specific mustache comb for the mustache but this is down to personal preference. Brush the mustache downward and look out for any stray hairs that creep over the upper edge of the top lip.
This can look untidy, so you may want to take this opportunity to trim or cut them at this point. But the cliff notes are that it really depends on your growth distribution and your preferences. Brushing the neckbeard upward toward the chin can give the fore beard more support and more volume.
However, this is usually going against the grain and may lead it to looking untidier than you may like. Beard brushes are also invaluable for the way they help properly distribute the oils of your beard—and by that, we mean both natural and man-made Beard Oil.
Evenly distributed oils ensure your entire beard is healthy, while also preventing patches of whiskers from becoming itchy or irritated. Remember, healthy whiskers are flexible. Your grooming routine should be, too. No one says you have to use one tool and stick with it. Beard brushes and combs can come in handy in many different situations, and using both at the right times will help your beard look better, and last longer.
