Beard Grooming Tips for No Shave November

Make Sure You Have the Right Tools

Growing and maintaining a beard is almost an art. You cannot do it without the right tools. If you’re serious about no shave November, make sure you have all the tools you need for a well maintained beard. Trimmer, comb and beard scissors are some of the most important tools that help in trimming, training and guiding your precious beard. Growing out your beard isn’t the only goal of no shave November. Grooming and shaping it is equally important for a neat look.

A Regular Trim is a Must for a Healthy Beard

No shave November can be a real mess if you completely avoid trimming as well. Beards can sometimes grow in any direction and shape. Keeping a trimmer handy and giving your beard a little trim every now and then will only make sure your beard stays healthy and in perfect shape. The frequency at which you should trim your beard depends totally on the style that you’re planning to grow your beard in. Shorter styles generally need to be trimmed more often that longer styles. So always choose your style according to the time and energy that you can spare on styling your beard.

Invest in a Beard Wash for Some TLC

If you’re growing a beard, you need to maintain it too. Keeping it clean is one of the most important things when it comes to beard grooming. Your beard needs almost as much care as your hair does. But that doesn’t mean you’ll use your shampoo to wash your beard. The skin on your face is different from the skin on your scalp. Beard hair is generally coarser than the rest of your hair. So remember to wash your beard with a specializing beard wash for some extra care. This will make sure your beard looks and smells great without damaging your hair or skin.

Your Beard Needs a Conditioner, Too

Maintaining a beard is definitely a much more tedious task than growing it. Once you start to grow a beard, you need to wash and clean it regularly. This may lead to dry skin and hair growth. Therefore, your beard too, needs a conditioner every once in a while. Beard conditioners are called softeners and work the same way any normal conditioner does. Once you wash your beard, let the softener sit for a while and then rinse with regular water. Leaving conditioner in your beard for a while brings back all the moisture and make the hair healthy and soft. Follow this up with your regular beard care routine and you will notice a world of difference in the way your beard looks and feels.

Comb Your Beard Regularly

Taking the time out to peacefully comb your hair is an effective act of self-care. And that includes your beard hair, too.  Not only is it an act of self-care, it’s also necessary to keep your beard healthy and in shape. If your comb your beard regularly, it will train the hair to grow in a specific direction. This is a super easy trick to keep your beard in shape. Use a small wooden comb that you can easily carry and keep anywhere. Combing will also help tame any flyways and sculpt your facial hair.

Beard oil to Tame Unruly Facial Hair

Beard care products are an absolute must when you’re growing your facial hair. One of the most important products is a beard oil or wax. Facial hair tends to grow shabbily and in different directions. To keep it neat and well maintained, make sure that you make beard oil a part of your daily beard care routine. Just dab on some oil all over your beard and mustache and shape it the way you want. Beard oil softens the ends of the hair allowing you to set the hair in a particular way you want. However, remember that all beards are different and need different kinds of oil. The only way to choose your go to product is to try as many as you can and stick to the one that suits you the best.

Don’t Forget to Look After Your Mustache

Growing a great beard means growing a mustache as well. While you’re busy looking after and grooming your beard, don’t forget that your mustache too, needs pampering. Use care products on your ‘stache as well to keep it nourished and healthy. Also, make sure you trim your mustache every 3-4 days to avoid a shabby and untidy look. Pay special attention to the area right under your nose and groom it using a pair of scissors. Too keep it in shape, use a medium-hold wax or some beard oil and a small beard comb.

Maintaining a Healthy Diet is Key

If you want your hair, nails, face, anything to look healthy and well maintained, the most important thing is to make sure your body has all the nutrients it needs. Same goes for the beard. If you want a healthy looking beard, you need to take proper care of your diet. Your beard growth depends a lot on protein, fat and Vitamins B3, B5 and B9. Consuming lean meats, eggs, milk, green leafy veggies and nuts in appropriate proportions will ensure a healthy and steady beard growth. Also, while supplements will not help make your beard appear magically, they do help you consume the right nutrients. So if you’re really committed to growing a good beard, you can consult a dermatologist about taking supplements.
