Washing

Always cleanse your beard with a sulfate free beard shampoo. Sulfate dries the hair out and makes it brittle.

Get your beard wet and apply a generous amount of shampoo. Massage into beard and get a good lather. Scratching is a must during the shampoo process . This loosens up any build up and dirt that you can’t see. Also allows you effectively clean your beard.

Ingrown Hairs

Wether you’re taking care of your beard or not, ingrown hairs happen. What you do with them is what matters.

Yes you can remove them with tweezers, if you know what you’re doing. When you try to squeeze it out, it can cause inflammation and irritation if not done properly.

Keeping your beard properly groomed will decrease the amount of ingrown hairs you have.

Moisturizing

Keeping not only your beard moisturized but the skin underneath it as well is very important.

Always moisturize after washing, this is when the hair is at it driest. Not moisturizing can cause breakage and irritation.

Moisturizing also helps with styling. The softer your beard is, the more manageable it becomes. Hence easier to take care of.
