5 tips for the best beard care

How do you care for a beard? Many men take a beard for granted. Nothing could be further from the truth! Good beard care is very important the moment you want to have a beautiful beard. Just as you care for your hair and scalp, your beard has the same need. Our Keune hair experts will tell you how best to maintain a beard. With the following 5 tips, you will create the best beard care for your beard.

A beautiful beard starts with clean skin, just like your hair and scalp. The advice is to wash your beard with shampoo 2-3 times a week with a shampoo for men. You can use a normal shampoo in your beard care. Our favourite is 1992 by J.M. Keune Essential Shampoo. This is an all-in-one shampoo that you can use for hair, body, and beard.

When you wash your beard, it is important to pay attention to the temperature of the water (this also applies to your regular hair, by the way). When the water is too hot, it dries out your skin and deteriorates the quality of your beard hair. It also causes your beard to break off faster and makes it feel itchy. To properly maintain your beard, the tip is to keep the shower around 38 Celsius degrees.

A must-have in your beard care is good beard oil. In addition to smelling great, beard oil also provides extra care. Beard oil contains nutrients that make your beard stronger. It also makes your beard feel softer and shinier. It will prevent itching and irritation, and your beard will become easier to style.

It is best to apply beard oil immediately after shampooing. That's when your hair cuticles are still open and it's easier for oil to penetrate. This will seal the beard hairs nicely and protect your beard from external influences.

For the maintenance of your beard, it is good to comb your beard regularly. It is common for your beard hairs to get a little tangled and stand in the wrong direction. This can cause a prickly and itchy feeling. By combing your beard in the direction where the hair follicles go, you take away the irritation. Use a fine comb for this, so you take all the beard hairs with you while combing.

Do you have a full beard and want to add some extra strength? Then you can use a beard balm. A beard balm is a light conditioner and gives a slight firmness with a natural finish. This will allow you to style your beard more easily.
