So many of you ask how to style your beards so Martyn, our Beard Master, is on hand with his best beard styling tips:
“Styling a beard is usually best done after it being washed in the shower, using a purpose made beard wash. Here is my step by step routine that I use for my own beard:
Make sure that your beard has been patted dry (ok if slight dampness), and take either a 5p amount (if using beard oil) or about a thumbnail sized amount (if using beard balm/cream), and rub against both hands.
Once evenly coated (or melted down to no lumps if a beard balm), rub thoroughly into your beard.
Be sure to start at the base of the beard, as close to the skin as possible, and work towards the tip of the hair for full and complete coverage.
Using a rounded hair brush or preferably a bristled beard brush, start by gently brushing upwards and outwards, starting from the neck going up, and coming off your jaw line. This is to work knots out from underneath.
Using a hairdryer on medium heat and with brush still in hand, start to brush your beard back down into shape; directing the air flow to aid this.
You can also use a beard comb to further define the style and shape of your beard.
Regular application of either a beard oil or beard balm/cream will help to fully remove any pesky beard flakes and beard itch.
In addition, the conditioning agents found in beard oils/balms/creams will help to ensure that your beard doesn’t develop split ends and will look its very best.”

Keeping your facial hair conditioned is essential for growing a BIG beard and keeping it looking healthy.
