It's much easier to grow a beard than it is to maintain it.Curled beards can create a thick, desirable look, but they also have problems like tangles, hygiene, and texture.There are a few things you can do to make your beard easier to maintain.
Step 1: You can apply beard oil after showering.
It is possible to make your hair straighter and easier to style with beard oil.Rub your hands together after you put the oil in your palm.Rub your hands on the sides and front of your beard.Put your fingers through the sides and front of your beard, working from the roots to the tips.The amount of oil depends on your beard.Beard oil can be applied to damp hair.Big-box stores and barbershops sell beard oil.
Step 2: It is a good idea to condition your beard once a week.
It's easier to style your facial hair with conditioner.To lather your beard, use the palms of your hands.You can massage it in with your fingers.Leave it in for a short time before rinsing it and then drying it with a towel.It is possible to purchase organic beard conditioners.The products can be found in big-box stores and online suppliers.
Step 3: Apply beard wax to your hands.
Beard wax helps you hold the hairs in place so they stay straight.Remove a dime-sized piece of beard wax from its container with the top of your thumbnail.Rub it into both palms and it will be a smooth consistency.Rub the palms of your hands on your beard.Rub your hands in the direction of beard flow.
Step 4: The hair on your beard needs to be combed with a blow dryer.
The blow dryer should be set to low speed and medium heat.If you want to separate clumps of hair from your face, first brush it outward from the center.Continue brushing until you have a smooth beard.To untangle tough areas, use your fingers.A blow dryer with a nozzle attachment can be used to dry your beard.You can increase speed and heat.The higher the heat, the harder it will be for your hair to come out.Moderate heat and low speed are the best ways to get your hair straight.You can give yourself more control by applying texture paste prior to blow drying.Rub a dime-sized drop into your hands and apply it with your palms.Most appliance and electronics stores sell straightening irons.
Step 5: You can switch to the open dryer attachment.
After combing your hair for a few minutes, switch to the open attachment for more heat flow.The dryer should be pointed at the center of your face.If you want to drag your fingers but not your thumb down your beard, you have to do it at the same time.In a gentle scratching motion, always drag your fingers.
Step 6: A good way to promote a straight flow is to comb your beard.
From the center of your face, always move outward.Don't pull harshly on the remaining tangled areas.Pull your fingers down on your beard.If you are going to use a mini-straightening iron on your beard, make sure to fluff it out towards the center of your face.
Step 7: For a final touch, apply a mini-straightening iron to your beard.
Pull your beard down with your thumb and two fingers, keeping the hair between your fingers and chin.Pinch along the length of your hair from top to bottom with your straightener in a slow motion.Most beauty product suppliers sell mini-straightening irons.Don't use standard-sized straightening irons.To open your face, clip up 2 sections of your beard.Remove the clips from the remaining sections of your beard once you have straightened the rest.
Step 8: For 15 minutes daily, comb your beard.
Straight beard hair can be kept neat and untangled.Set aside some time each day to comb through your beard with a small plastic comb from the center of your face.If you're busy, comb your hair whenever you can, such as when watching a show or getting ready for bed.You can use beard oil and a brush to smooth your beard.Small plastic combs can be purchased anywhere from convenience stores to big-box stores.
Step 9: Your beard needs to be washed.
Curls are caused by the lack of natural oils in your hair.For a few minutes at a time, you can massage and rub your beard.When you're done, rinse it all out.If you are exposed to dirty environments on a daily basis, you should wash every other day.If you work in the construction industry, in a factory or outdoors.Sulfates are harsh on hair and should not be used.These detergents strip your hair of its oils.Synthetic colors and synthetic fragrances are chemicals that can be avoided.
Step 10: Purchase a water filter to keep the water clean.
Hard water has high levels of minerals and tangles your beard.If you want your water to be perfect for straight hair, look into a water filter at your local hardware store.Purchase water testing strips from hardware or big-box stores.It's a good idea to keep an eye on the areas with high water exposure.If you want to make a bigger investment, consider a water softener.
