Beard balm: what is it and why use it
A beard can enhance your look, but it can also make your face look weird. A beard is of course very manly, but how do you make sure it looks and feels good? That is when beard balm comes in.
The name already says it: it is a balm for your beard (and the skin underneath your beard).
What does beard balm do?
Do you have a beardthat grows to all sides and does not stay into your desired shape? Then you want to use beard balm.
Beard balm is a good way to style your beard. Just like with regular hair, beard hair is not the same for every man. The only thing that is the same, is that beard hair is not the same as the hair on your head.
If your beard has the inclination to grow wild, then a beard balm can help you style it, because it provides some ''hold.'' And that is where the styling terms start. The hold means how easy it is to control the beard hairs.
So, after you washed and combed your beard, you can use beard balm to tame flyaway's, because you do not want your beard hairs to go to the side or up.
But that is not the only thing a beard balm does. The name already suggests it. A beard balm also nourishes your beard. It helps to hydrate your beard and basically works as a moisturizer for your beard hair.
That helps to keep your beard soft and it also makes your beard less itchy.
- It also provides some healthy shine.
- It helps to retain the moisture that a beard conditioner provided and it helps to control your beard.
- Your beard will become a bit straighter because of he weight of the product.
- Your beard and skin will be nourished with vitamins and minerals to keep it healthy.
How do you apply a beard balm?
Depending on the texture of the beard balm, you usually have to warm it up a bit between your hands. But you always first apply it on your hands before you are applying it in your beard. With your hands and fingers you can then style your beard as you want.
A smaller beard usually requires about a fingertip of product. And a longer beard requires a bit more beard balm. Depending on your beard length you can experiment with either 1 or 2 fingertips of product.
Then you take it in your palm and rub your palms together. Your hands will become a bit oily.
And then you apply the beard balm from roots to tips. You can apply it on the top and then run your fingers through your beard. To really distribute the beard balm everywhere, you can also use a comb and then comb you can also use to style your beard. Then you primarily use it on the visible end of your beard.
If you accidentally used a bit too much product, you can rub it off with a piece of cloth of carefully rinse it off. A slightly damp towel works the best.
