Whether you are doing it or not, combing the beard is one of the essential steps in men’s daily routine to maintain a healthy facial hair and to make your beard look better. Here’s why you should definitely comb your beard, how to do it, and which comb to use.
To comb or not to comb.
That is the question, but we have a simple answer for you: to comb. First of all, properly combing your beard and mustache prevents ingrown hair. We’re referring to the little red dots around your cheek and neck. Develop the habit of combing your facial hair on a daily basis and you’ll notice that the hairs will grow into one direction, sparing you the pain of under the skin roots. Secondly, Did you know that combing your beard will also help to keep it clean? Just in case some food residue was forgotten or trapped, combing it will boost your facial hygiene and help you avoid any awkwardness where food is dropping from your jaw. That’s not all boys, combing on a regular basis will train and shape beard in the way you desire giving it a fuller look. That’s not all boys, having the habit of combing each time you apply beard oil or a beard balsam will help you distribute the product equally on your beard, will massage the skin, and will help you reach better results faster. Finally, combing on a regular basis will train and shape your beard in the way you desire, and will give it volume for a fuller look.
The right way to comb.
Those who tell you that there’s no right way to comb your beard are just wrong, they’re probably jealous of your awesomeness. The process is simple:
First, strat by applying some beard oil. Then comb it out. Start under your beard and come upward and outward from the neck and work your way up. Afterward simply comb the beard straight down to be able to style it the way you want. Simple right? Please note, you should never force the comb into the beard if it does not flow naturally. If you are having any problem, you probably need to apply more beard oil to make the flow smoother.
What to use.
Avoid plastic combs at any cost. Cheap plastic combs teeth will crack your beard as they go through your hair; a bad comb will result in more breakage in the hair and more split ends. Needless to say, having split ends means you will have to trim your beard more often.
Ideally, you should opt for wooden combs. First, they look fancier, but more importantly, they are soft on the hair and they do not generate any static like the cheap plastic combs. They also absorb the oil you apply and help you distribute it evenly on all your beard. Getting a high-quality comb, like our amazing wooden comb, will help you maintain a healthy beard because they are specifically designed to help you style your beard without any damage.
