However, with great beard comes great responsibility. Maintaining a proper and healthy beard requires effort, patience and the right products.

Here are a few tips on how you can maintain that mighty beard of yours.I will begin with the most basic ones like-

TRIMMING your beard well :

Just like a lawn needs regular mowing, a beard needs regular trimming.Trimming gives your face a symmetrical look. You need to choose a trimmer which has multiple length settings.Choose a longer setting at the beginning because it prevents you from chopping excess hair off .Defining a clear check and neck line is vital if you want the ladies to notice !

Applying The Right Shampoo:

Hygiene always comes before style. Hence, a beard shampoo or wash will help you keep your beard clean and dandruff free thereby make it soft and giving it a healthy shiny look. Some shampoos are versatile in nature and can be used on the beard as well as the hair. A few of these shampoos are –

Beard oils are basically a combination of carrier (jojoba, argan, coconut) and essential (lavender, eucalyptus ,tea tree) oils. The carrier oils’ functionality lies in the fact that they dilute the essential oils, making it suitable for use on the skin.
