Hello folks. I am planning to go to the store later today ans was hoping to get some beard care products. As for products that I can find ar stores (not online) which brand reigns supreme?

Best!

Just wondering if anyone else who makes their own beard butter wants to share their scent recipes? I’ll go first.

I used the mieztay Gentlemen’s set from Amazon

Man scent. 10 drops “Cologne” essential oil 5 drops “Sweet Tobacco” essential oil 5 drops “sandalwood” essential oil 2 drops “smoke” essential oil (P&J Trading EO)

I did the same amount of EO in 1 oz jojoba oil, Argon and vitamin E oil for a matching beard oil scent to go with my butter.

I'm looking for some YouTube channels about beard that's not oversponsored and basically just commercials for whoever pays for it. I just want honest, casual beard talk.

I like Matty Conrad's style, but I'm not even close to rocking a full beard of that caliber, so a lot of his stuff doesn't really apply to me.

Any recommendations on channels I should check out? They should know their stuff, I'm not interested in random guys talking about stuff I can prove wrong from a two-second Google search

I hate the woody/dark/heavy scent most beard oils, are there any good one with a more citrus like scent?

What beard shampoo do you recommend? I know some people use regular shampoo, but that totally dries my skin out and causes it to be flaky. If I use no shampoo it stays okay for a little longer, but eventually also dries the skin out underneath. I tried the L'oreal beard wash, but it was just like using regular shampoo.

Does using an electric beard straightener help to soften up the hair? I have a regular beard brush but it doesn't really penetrate into the beard (I have thick hair), so I have a bunch of scraggly hairs. Any other comb/brush recommendations?

I used some beard oil a while back (I think it was the viking one) but it left my skin feeling greasy (only used a few drops) and I did not like the scent. Would like some other recommendations. Thanks.

I know its individual but Im soon 19 and the last year Ive noticed im getting more hair on my chin and side burns, but the hair is pretty soft. I have a mustache but the hairs are still soft and there not a lot of it. I havent gotten any om my cheeks yet, but... there is a lot of small white hairs which I dont see on other places of my face, such as forehead. Maybe this is going to become beard hair?

For those who has a beard, how did it develop?

Hey I’m looking for recommendations for a beard trimmer that is nice and sharp like the one at the barber. Every beard trimmer I’ve ever bought from a store always is decent but nothing compared to what the barber has. Is it some kind of special trimmers for barbers or something I could possibly get?

Hello folks!

Just wanna share my experimentation with beard growth. Im a 34 year old male, before using minoxidil I had some okaish beard, but it was patchy, not full enough and I wanted to fill up especially my chin area. I started using minoxidil a5 months ago two times a day + derma roller 2 times week, did not really notice too much of a difference, maybe the existing hairs got fuller and darker, but hard to tell. I was checking with a 5x zoom mirror the patchy areas and noticed no new follicles popping up. I added some tretinoin about 3 weeks ago and boom, all of a sudden new hair stated appearing all over, especially on my very patchy chin area. I check in the mirror with a UV lamp every day and they just keep growing, getting darker and I get more and more new ones. In this rate of speed I think I will reach my goals in 3-4 months. Not sure if it helps for everyone, but might be good to experiment with. I use 0,1% tretinoin, apply it all over my beard area massaging into the skin, wait 5 min and apply minoxidil. I do it twice a day. I use derma roller two times a week.

I need a new beard trimmer. The one I currently use is very bad and need of replacement fast. I find myself spending at least 15 minutes cutting hairs with a tint scissor because the trimmer missed hairs. I have had this issue with other trimmers as well, all in the 50 euros range and made by Philips..

Can someone please recommend a beard trimmer that is reliable, sharp, and that is able to cut all hairs evenly? I usually have a short stubble between 4.5mm and 7mm.

Price range up to 200 euros.

Your help is appreciated!

i dont have a lot of hair on my face and neck but whenever i need to shave i shave with a eyebrow razor because whenever i used a 3 blade razor i get a lot of razor bumps should i just stick with the eyebrow razor to shave my neck and face and forget about the 3 blade razor ?????

I have a short beard that I have been growing out. I'm waiting to get past the dreaded awkward phase until it has enough length to get a bit more tame. I tried a heated brush and the blow-dryer/brush combo with very little success (could be a technique issue on my end, thought I have been through the cycle for a few years of attempting to grow and keep tidy using heat and did extensive online research, but seems I could never get those to work).

The other day I saw a really small flat iron that is suitable for beards, it's like 1/3 of an inch wide. I found very little information about it online (compared to other heating options at least). Would any body recommend it or recommend against it? Any comments, experiences or advice is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am looking to use Stirling Soap brand body butter with the following ingredients: Distilled Water, Almond Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Stearic Acid, Babassu Oil, Emulsifying Wax, Caprylic Capric Triglycerides, Glycerin, Myristyl Myristate, Coconut Oil, Fragrance Oil, Mango Butter, Jojoba Oil, Optiphen Plus, Vitamin E

Any reason that this wouldn't work?

Cant find it on Amazon anymore. Wife loves the smell of it and I need a beard oil that will help with the dry skin under my beard. Does anyone know of a similar beard oil that has a similar scent?

Hi, so I just used a 7mm trimmer on my chin and for some reason it made it quite patchy compared to the surrounding goatee. Then I tried 1mm on that exact spot and it didn't do anything. So then I used the 3mm on the sides of my face, shortening it. But when I tested the 7mm again, it made it even shorter than the 3mm. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Am I meant to lead it upwards rather than downwards? Thanks

Hi all,

I have been using Control GX Just For Men Beard Wash for a few months with great success. I have a long beard almost white and it brought it back to a dark gray that I wanted. It took 10 years off my face and still looked natural.

Sadly, I’ve noticed the tip Of my beard (2 inches deep) becoming discoloured into a rust colour. Anyone experience this? Did I do something wrong? I am wonndering if I used too much of the product or left it on too long and fried it.

I initially would leave it on for 2 minutes and it did nothing. When I began leaving it in for 4 minutes it worked like magic.

Thanks in advance to anyone that may have some feedback.

I have been looking for some musk scented beard oil but it is been hard to find good scented ones - can anyone recommend their favourite?

Hello Im 24 and have a patchy beard , problem is mainly on cheeks on my neck i dont have any holes. I don’t want to use minoxidil yet because of the potential side effects that i read and i’m kind of considering it as last resort. Has anyone tried dermaroller and can give some feedbacks? Im interested in trying it but i have no idea about the size, frequency of usage or if it has to be paired with any other thing (oil cream etc) Thanks

I'm a cigar smoker. I smoke just about every day. If there's any cigar smokers in here, my question is do you wash/shampoo your beard every day you smoke?

I'm currently using Cremo beard shampoo and conditioner. I was shampooing every day, but after I just trimmed my beard of a lot of split ends, I'm thinking about cutting back to maybe 3-4 times a week.

What's y'alls opinion?

Hello my fellow bearded friends. Have a question (or two).

1. My glorious beard has turned on me, or rather curled on me. Have had a well manicured and well behaved beard most of my life (at least 20 years). It’s been various lengths from several inches long below my chin to my now 1.5-2 inches below. I use natural beard care products mostly from highly recommended brands mentioned here and a few other reputable places. I haven’t changed my routine at all and other than an occasional change in oil or balm. Now the problem, about 3 months ago I developed a curl. It’s like half of my beard across my chin decided it wanted to be funky. Problem is that it is making it damn near impossible to neatly arrange my beard. I’ve never had to use a styling balm or anything along those lines, but I have tried them with limited results, I’ve tried a beard straightener which works but takes a long time to do and has to be done daily. So any thoughts? I will mention that my diet and stress level have been way off lately but nothing much more than the norm.

2. It occurs to me that while I’ve never used a barber for my beard they may have a suggestion so does anyone know a good beard barber on the Raleigh NC area?

I am a new beard grower, mid forties, and I have been growing my beard for about a month now.

It’s coming on nicely, but whilst the cheeks have hair on them, it is definitely lighter in colour and it’s easier to see through the hair to the skin, which I understand is quite common.

I hear a lot of people being advised to just let it fill in. How exactly does this work? Does the hair get thicker or is it just length that gives the illusion of thickness?

Apologies for the “dumb” question…but I am new to all this.

Thanks

Anyone else have this problem? I live in NE metro Atlanta area, and I’ve tried a dozen barbers over the past few years, and nobody knows what they’re doing. The last one I got when I specifically asked for a guy with experience with beards was a 20 year-old kid who had never heard of a duck/Kratos beard. I did tell him he could take off a little length to even everything up. He took off about six months of growth and took a chunk off the right side that makes it obviously uneven. When I got home, I realized he trimmed underneath my beard except the very bottom at my neckline. He had combed it forward, so I didn’t notice until I washed it and combed it down and back. A good shake after that is usually all I need to look okay, but at this point I had a regular beard and a neck beard. I watch YouTube channels where these barbers are careful to line everything up, and I can’t find anyone who isn’t a barber because his mom told him he had to get a job. I’m probably going to just use my Babyliss clippers with the longest guard to get everything even, but I’ll lose a year of growth (and right after smack talking a guy at church about overtaking his beard length). My hands shake, so I can’t free hand it, and my wife has limited interest because she prefers a shorter beard on me. Is there something like Victory Barber on the NE side of Atlanta?

Edit: I appreciate the responses. I have a neurological disease, and my hands shake and have little dexterity. My wife helps me with so many things, and she sees a longer beard as something else to worry about, so I try not to ask for much assistance.

Sorry for all the posts, But the last posts I've had no answers just people offending me because of my tattoos, I have a brain injury and I was very impulsive when I got them and I'm hoping to get them removed. I'm wondering if these patches will fill in if I keep growing it or should I shave it off?

Hi guys,

In late December I noticed a bald patch on my chin after plucking out beard hairs (with my fingers/nails) . I started doing it at the end of last summer (because of stress) and immediately stopped when I noticed it.

Its very noticable (circle about 5cm /2in diameter) and Im obvoiousely concerned it might be permanent. I've been waiting for the last 3/4 months to see if anything grows back but it is still very bald and smooth to the touch. Maybe very tiny white hairs are growing back? but they are so small im not even sure they are even there tbh. Im thinking of going to a dermatologist because of this.

Is there a possibility the damage is permanent? Im a 29yo average dude with a normal/healthy diet.

Thank you for reading and cheers.

Im 27 and decided to give it a go. iv been growing a beard for the past week and a half and it's coming along nicely. Its not patchy and it's not uneven. BUT. it doesn't grow under my bottom lip area. Iv also been using a derma roller and growth oil which has helped, just not in all areas.

Iv read that a derma roller amd growth oil will help but will it really? The way I think of it, is that if it doesn't grow there then it doesn't grow and their is nothing I can do about it.

Is their anything I can do?

Hi Folks, I am 26M from India, maintain a stubble beard(1.5 mm -2 mm). These days I am feeling a lot of itchiness in my beard and I can see lot of white flakes being stuck in beard hair. Whenever i scratch my beard they all fell on my tshirt which is not pleasing at all.

My daily routine: I use facewash and after that winter moisturizer or sunscreen depending on season.

What should i change in my daily routine? Probably it is due to my skin beneath my beard is dry.

I have seen people suggesting beard oil / beard wash.

Suggest me a daily routine. Like how often should i use face wash, moisturizer, beard oil, beard wash etc.

Suggest some good brands of beard oil/beard wash(available in indian market) if you think i should start to use them.

Thanks!!

I’m trying to grow out the beard, lots of in-grown hairs because of curly hair and the hairs going all directions. Is there anything I can add to help prevent this problem?

I’m a 22M, been searching for a beard oil but most have almond oil and avocado oil. My wife is allergic to all nuts, AND avocados, full on anaphylactic level. Are there any that don’t have these ingredients or am I just SOL?

Do malls still exist? How much money can I make? Are we talking millions?

My father has a really thick beard. I’m already pretty hairy but I only have a small amount of chin hairs. Will I be able to get a thick beard too if my father has one? At what point did you guys get your beards?

Gotta let y’all know cause I’ve tried everything, dandruff shampoo, beard shampoo and nothing worked, but went to aveda to get some stuff for my head hair and they recommended the scalp solutions exfoliating scalp treatment. And I used it on my beard and cleared up everything in my beard and head, felt so refreshing after. Highly recommend
