Dan I have had beard hair from 1960 to now. I am 83 and have beardruff for the first time. I think that you have the best, how to stop it I have found on you tube. thank you
Beardruff was the main cause that stopped me from growing a beard earlier in my life. I would get maybe 3 or so weeks in and then have beardruff "and patchy spots" and just shave it off. This time around after finding your channel I discovered beard oils and and good washes and I am now 22 weeks in and have not had beardruff one single time. Thanks Dan.
beardruff not what i was thinking. thought it was me using too much product in my beard and the product trying out and causing my beard to get dry and rough. thank you for pointing out this video and i know i have many more to watch and lots of learning to do here.
Damn Daniel back at it again with the beautiful background and great editing. I also like how you have been splitting the video segments in the red bar at the bottom. The colors from your light really come to life when they mix with the blackboard's pattern after you wipe it. Keep it up!
DanC is the man I’m forever great full for being exposed. I’m a lifer of your videos! Love all the knowledge you transpose on us bearded students! Thanks Teach!
I get seborrheic dermatitis sometimes. If you have ongoing/chronic issues with itchiness and dandruff under the beard, it could be worth talking to a dermatologist because this cause of dandruff can be exacerbated in oily areas like the face and the treatment of it is slightly different to what Dan describes - I use a medicated shampoo on my beard when I get it, for example.
Hey Dan, just found the channel. Great information thank you! I have been struggling with bearddruff this winter and I believe it’s credited to lack of water and a shaky beard routine. Thanks again for the fix and preventative steps 🤜
I always had beard dandruff before I started using oil and combing my beard. I have always stayed hydrated but for me that was not enough. Once I got in to quality products my beard comfort and health hit a whole new level. Listen to the trusted teacher and you’ll be 👌
I went 4 years wondering why I got bearddruff and dandruff and red blotches on my face that burn After seeing some of your videos saying increase water intake It solved my problems within a week You sir are god like 🙏
@@DanCBearded would you ever make a video for the ladies on how to help care for their boyfriends/husbands beard? I know a lot about hair but beards seem so different (yet similar in many ways).
Great content Dan. I definitely need to increase water. It’s just tough when you’re teaching and wearing a mask. You either forget or it’s more difficult. But that might be just me.
The mask GREATLY hinders my water intake. There is no doubt about that. I'm dreading that when we go back in person with students. When we had in person PD, my water was terrible
Great information as always Dan! I really appreciate all the wisdom you share with the world about beards. I used to ask my bearded friends about beard questions and would get some quality answers and sometimes bad information. You have become my main source for beard answers to my questions. I literally find myself going through your older video going "Wow I been wondering about that question forever!"
Excellent job making short work of the problem and solutions. I believe some beardruff I've had was due to a thick conditioner that didn't rinse out completely. Your exfoliating procedures resolve that. I believe the choice of tool depends on the beard. Mine isn't as thick as yours so a scalp massager has no difficulty getting the job done for me. My experience with quality products is that a few more seconds yield enormous benefit. Instead of a quick application, I spend at least 30 seconds applying oils or butters. Combing through, I really notice the product's effect on skin and beard. Much different from my previous quick applications.
Leo, I think you will really enjoy my video tomorrow morning!! Hits on some of your points. Coinsicendely(sp?) it was filmed before this video was even posted
This is the perfect video to go over and something I deal with regularly. I get is once a week. I have a great beard routine throughout the week but on the weekend I get lazy. So normally by Sunday by the evening my beard will itch on the left side with flakey skin. My diet and water intake aren’t the best but all I have to do is exactly what you said and it gets rid of it. So thank you for the great video.
I wish I found this great video when I had beardruff. I was getting it all over my black shirts and it looked, and felt, so bad. I think that might have been when I found I needed beard oils a while ago. It had gotten pretty bad too. When ever I itched it would get all over my shirt. Then I found oil and I had been stumbling along the journey until finding your great channel!
I noticed over washing and exfoliate I had redness under my neck area so backed off and not overdoing and problems gone and no more redness excellent video Dan C Bearded 👍
When I hit that itchy flakey phase that was when I shaved. The one thing that kept me going this time was your advice on beard oil. That alone changed everything for me. It seemed to help almost immediately. Within a day the results were obvious. The irony is that I thought growing my beard out would be “easy” and way less effort than shaving. Here I am. Lol
Yes, beardruff. Mostly from ignorance. Lack of proper oil use (as in everyday), no beard soap or conditioner, no butter. I was not drinking enough water. I am slowly getting into the right habits. I am currently drinking enough water to where I think just camping out in the bathroom would save me a lot of time. Slowly, but surely I’ll be getting to a better beard situation. 👍🏻 Thanks, Dan.
Great video man when I first started growing a beard (I was 14) I had beardruff I was so embarrassed but then I found beard oil and it fixed it thank god
Dude, I do the same routine as you do. Haha. Before beard oils were in the game. I do get a lot of beardruff so bad. Especially living in Chicago and Kentucky at that time. Thank God for a beard oil that does solve the problem. Great video, Dan! 👌🏻
I got so worried 2 months ago , i noticed i had some flakes in my beard. I thought it was because i wasn't doing the routines regularly, but at the same time during lockdown my daily routine is all over the place. I was not eating good pr drinking enough water. After your video i made sure to get the proper hydration and made sure to oil and do the cold water beard rinse( such a good way to wake up btw). I have to say it helped alot to reduce the flakes. Thank you again for your research and great info
Wooo, my water intake has slacked off lately so this is a good reminder. Haven't hit the beardruff phase yet, but I know it's coming. My worst stage for it is always about one month into growing a new one, and it is fierce, however knowing what I know from you now if I ever do have to shave and start over it'll be a different story!
Mine cut down considerably after watching your exfoliating video. I use a wooden comb on my skin in the shower every time I wash. And then maybe couple times a week I use an ox horn comb right after my shower to exfoliate. Pro tips for sure.
Dan, this happened to me alot before i started using beard oil, then it went away within a week and ive nver had it since. I always drank water so i guess i had solved half the problem. So glad i found you when i did a few yrs ago and now i have a great oil collection that fights off the the beardruff. Talk soon - Pete
I experienced itchy, flakey, painful beardruff. Even when my beard wasn't as long. I get very dry skin, don't drink enough water, and - maybe it is an assumption, my older beard seems to have less natural oils. I looked to solve the problem and discovered a whole world of beard products, did not know they existed until then. Balm solved it completely, plus I take care of the beard well.
Awesome advice, and as gross as it seems (to me) drinking more water is probably a great idea no mater what. The difference between using quality products vs off the shelf stuff full of IDK what can't be overstated either. The difference in how you look, feel and smell are like night and day.
Hi Dan, well I just watched this video (after watching your Beard Oil video) DUH! As I mentioned, I do Exfoliate in the shower with a round plastic flexible scalp brush (I shave my head). I use this brush also on my face underneath my beard to exfoliate; I think I'm using quality Beard Wash, one that is supposed to help with "beardruff", and I use beard oil (reluctantly), so I'm really not sure why I still have a problem with beardruff - I applied beard oil just yesterday, and today I'm seeing flakes when I brush/comb my beard.
It would likely be your need to exfoliate deeper. Outside of the shower and with something my sturdy like a comb with teeth pretty clothes together. What beard Wash are you referring to? I’m not aware of any that market the moves to help with beardruff. The main culprit though I almost always not drinking enough water.
I just figured this out before I got into the show a few minutes ago, and figured I would share it . If you have a long mustache and use dandruff shampoo - let me tell you how you stop having that nasty taste, all day, after you're done . Before you get into the shower, put about a teaspoon, or less if that is too much, in your mouth and keep it there while you shampoo . After you rinse your hair and mustache, put your hand up against your mustache and spit the baking soda mix into your hand and rub it in your mustache . Of course, if you are not a real man, I guess you could put the baking soda mixture in a cup and do it the sissy way ... After you rinse, there is no trace left to taste or smell .
I have really dry skin especially on my beard and head. I solved both with good shampoo and conditioner. On my head I also use leave in conditioner, on my beard I use conditioner and a good amount of oil. Dandruff still happens now and then but I just comb it out and put a bit more oil in than normal for a day.. next day it's usually fine again. Also a good healthy diet with all the micronutrients you need also really helps getting your skin right..
Very helpful and have definitely experienced this before, been thinking about making my own oils for a while now and probably should get onto that soon, need to find myself a good wash aswell, maybe use baby wash like you've said in a previous video, until I find a good beard wash.
I definitely don't drink enough water which probably leads to my overly scalp, beard, and mustache. I also probably compound the problem by constantly drinking really strong coffee from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep.
i have naturally dry and sensitive skin and dry scalp. no matter the rotation of products my scalp and skin under my beard will become dry and flake. if i try to exfoliate and get all the skin outta there my skin gets red lol water is on point too. maybe i just gotta apply oil more often, i thought maybe i am allergic to certain essential or carrier oils but its hard to say which ones
I have soreness on my chin type dandruff. It seems like it happens if I don’t dry my beard / chin thoroughly. I have been using oil regularly for about 6 months now . I started wetting my beard after work to reshape after wearing a mask all day . I since stopped because of this dandruff spot on my chin . Gonna try and exfoliate. Thanks Dan
Yea man, during the winter is the worst.....also drinking more water and better quality products and I am finally getting a better shower comb...the handle comb from BO.
Mine is like a broken snow globe and it started a month ago. I'm 60 and for the first time in my life I work in the office as an equipment salesman. Before I was always the guy in the shop! It's so embarrassing and I'm always checking my black polo company shirt to see if I have to brush it off!
Great video Dan! I’ve been tackling this issue recently myself and have found an aggressive oil treatment before bed a quick way to address it. Letting the oil soak in overnight has worked wonders. Thanks!
I started uploading beard videos three years ago, and the main reason I stopped was because of bearddruff. I’ve finally grown a decent beard since then without bearddruff and I fixed it by drying out my beard with a towel instead of a hairdryer.
I Constantly Get Drift On the left side of my chin only & its only that small little spot but throughout the rest of my beard I’m good ... kind of trip
Great video Dan. I thought beardruff (or dandruff for that matter) was caused by heat, aka blowdryer? But if water intake is the cause, or rather the solution, that would explain why I'm struggling with it. I have periods where I drink a lot of water (usually in spring/summer) but when the weather gets colder, I don't really have an urge for water, but rather coffee/tea, etc. If drinking more water would solve both beardruff and dandruff, that would be awesome, though it may just be a genetic issue? :/
Do I see white whiskers popping out on you Dan?🤨🧐 I have more popping out and guys are telling me to color it in. But I’m not going to do that 🙄. Sorry off subject.
The only time I have beard dandruff is when I don't take care of my beard for a couple of days. I take my showers at night so it's much more easier to take care of my beard but in the morning sometimes I don't even touch it especially if I'm not leaving the house. On a unrelated note should I comb my beard after using beard butter at night or does it matter?
I think combing is beneficial because it spreads product on skin and through beard. I always comb after butter and even after light balm. I would not comb heavy-hold balm or wax applied to a specific place for the purpose of holding the hairs in position.
Question for you. I drink a lot of water each day, use a beard shampoo and oil yet I still have that scale on my skin. It doesn't always flake but itches all the time. What else should I be doing? It almost seems like a season thing.
Make sure you are exfoliating daily in each shower, with a comb raking the skin. Beyond that, make sure you are using high-quality oil and wash, and using the right ones for you. For example, do not use a stripping wash daily. Give the oil and beard wash a try from the company below. The owner created the company because of similar skin conditions. Doctor Nicks= www.doctornicks.com/danc * DANC = 15% off
Yeah I love your content I'm still using Walmart special so they even got butter I work so much to where it f**** up my beard so much it's nice to have stuff until I find the right product and yes a lot of water would be nice to get going more and you only said a 31 and a half times I'm just playing I love how my beards turning out you should make like a beard competition and see which one's better no I'm just kidding but keep it up
Hey so I have eczema, usually get it around my chin area and mustache area. Every time I try to grow a beard, my dry skin gets more irritated. Any pointers on what beard shampoo to use? And how often should I clean my beard?
Try the solid beard bar wash by: Whiskey n Hardtack= www.whiskeynhardtack.com/danc * DANC for 15% off How often will depend on your activity level. If you get sweaty or dirty, wash daily. If not, try every other day
@@DanCBearded I’m very active in both my job and outside of it. Had to shave it off because the beard dandruff was getting outta hand as usual and skin was getting irritated. So wash once a day? Any oils I should use? for next time I decide to grow it out. Also when should start doing all of this, like 2 weeks in or wait a bit longer. Know my situation is a bit different with having eczema and all.
Beards been really itchy lately. I just sat in the bathroom and brushed the bejesus out of it. It looked like it snowed in there. So thanks for your tips. Is there much difference between beard wash and just shampoo?
Pretty sure I'm just another one suffering from dry skin overall because if i go more than 2 or 3 days without oil (i sometimes forget in a rush to get out the door) my skin under my beard and stash becomes super dry and flaky but slightly over oiling always works well to correct this problem for me since my skins seems to absorb things rather quickly compared to most people ive seen
Here for my hubby hes always had flakies in his goatee. Wasn't crazy bad and ever really bothered him other than the appearance. But just tonight he said his chin is on fire. We have for the past week been outside in the garden n doing yard work in pretty hot weather (80s*F). Could that have caused the inchy burning? like sweating and probably dehydration? Other than duh drink more water what do u recommend to get rid of or atleast lessen the flakies? Thanks 😊 xoxo
I used minoxidil for a month beard grew faster but after using it i got flaky and red iritated skin under my nouse and a bid less but also rest of my beard . I now try to get rid of it with Brushing it daily till the flakes are gone and using oil and balm (wash it 3 times a week with beardshampoo) . Has not gone yet do . If any got some more tips feel free to share . And nop not using minoxidil anymore or ever for that matter .
@@DanCBearded It made my beard grow fast , used it for a month and stopt but 2 weeks later i started to get flakes . Now brushing them out every day and refeeding my skin and beard with beardoil see if it gonne clear out .
What is your opinion on using a 2 in 1 beard wash that also condition, is it better to get just a wash and add conditioner later like you mentioned or is a 2in1 ok at this point or even necessary? I am looking at maybe trying every man jack sea salt beard wash what’s your opinion? I already am using there beard oil and love the sea salt smell.
Drift can also be from Seborrheic Dermatitis which is what I have. This is a over growth of yeast in the body Candida. Teatree , Peppermint , eucalyptus and coconut oil have helped me. Dan it would be nice to see a video or more on this and beard products to get rid of this. Heroes and legends have a wash but they are shut down for sale of the Business. So I can’t get any of the products I need.
If you are still growing your beard out, can you please give me the name of a couple products that work well for you? I’m trying to do some research for my husband that is new at growing a beard. His beard is very thick and coarse, he does not drink water hardly at all, so that’s going to have to change, but if you have any products that are tried and true for you, I would love to hear what they are. Thank you so much. Have a great day.
So. I found like one super long beard hair. Lile twice the length of the rest kf my hairs. Is this an outlier or would this indicate how far my beard can grow?
I've been experiencing beardruff a lot this year. I've had it mostly around my mouth and throughout my eyebrows. I'm thinking it's due to insufficient water intake.
I wouldn't call what I get beard dandruff. I have a couple of patches on my face where the skin flakes off. It isn't just small flakes and the patch is painful until that dead skin is off. I can go in with tweezers and peel it off. I use beard oil and conditioning beard butter but the only thing I have found that really helps my skin is pure coconut oil. I get it from the natural foods store. It just takes a little and if I use it every day, I don't have a problem. If I slack off for a day, it takes a few days of applying the coconut oil for it to heal. I haven't found a beard oil with coconut oil. Probably because coconut oil solidifies somewhere around 75 degrees.
Hey Dan, awesome video! Fortunately, I haven't encountered any beardruff (such a great word). However, I read on Head and Shoulders® website that their head hair shampoo also works to clear beardruff. I am thinking, whoa that could be too strong of a product to put on beards and facial skin. What's your thoughts concerning Head and Shoulders® for beardruff? Also, would the fungi Malassezia restricta and Malassezia globosa cause beardruff like on the head? Then it would be possible that the active ingredient in Head and Shoulders®, Pyrithione Zinc (ZPT), could work. Thanks Dan.
I use a good beard oil, Also i use a beard shampoo and conditioner 2 in 1. I look after my beard well. So when i saw white flakes in my beard i became confused. It also only happen after a bath when i use the beard shampoo and conditioner. 1 hour after the bath i can't see any flakes. Also i don't have dry skin in my beard nor redness. Have you an idea about my situation?
Right, but it genuinely matters which ones. Using low quality doesn’t have any resemblance of what the experience is like with quality products. If you share which ones, I can give you the help you were asking for
@@DanCBearded I've used polished gentleman, mountaineer brand, Cremo, I don't know the rest atm. Those worked best for me but like anything else its short lived. They work for a month or two then I'm in a mess again

It would likely be your need to exfoliate deeper. Outside of the shower and with something my sturdy like a comb with teeth pretty clothes together.
What beard Wash are you referring to? I’m not aware of any that market the moves to help with beardruff.
The main culprit though I almost always not drinking enough water.
Jest waiting for the video,
Thanks man❤
I hope it helped!
Still get bearddruff and sore spots under my beard but think it’s down to lack of water during the day so will trial that theory this week.
I have a feeling it is going to work!
Nice one Teach!!!! I use my chicago #8 comb in the shower. I also have a shamoo brush. having RA I get very bad dry skin especially under my beard.
Awesome Ron!
I just figured this out before I got into the show a few minutes ago, and figured I would share it .
If you have a long mustache and use dandruff shampoo - let me tell you how you stop having that nasty taste, all day, after you're done .
Before you get into the shower, put about a teaspoon, or less if that is too much, in your mouth and keep it there while you shampoo .
After you rinse your hair and mustache, put your hand up against your mustache and spit the baking soda mix into your hand and rub it in your mustache .
Of course, if you are not a real man, I guess you could put the baking soda mixture in a cup and do it the sissy way ...
After you rinse, there is no trace left to taste or smell .
Thanks for the feedback!
I have really dry skin especially on my beard and head. I solved both with good shampoo and conditioner. On my head I also use leave in conditioner, on my beard I use conditioner and a good amount of oil. Dandruff still happens now and then but I just comb it out and put a bit more oil in than normal for a day.. next day it's usually fine again.
Also a good healthy diet with all the micronutrients you need also really helps getting your skin right..
Great feedback and comment!
Love your products
Thanks! I don't make any products but I recommend many 👊
Very helpful and have definitely experienced this before, been thinking about making my own oils for a while now and probably should get onto that soon, need to find myself a good wash aswell, maybe use baby wash like you've said in a previous video, until I find a good beard wash.
I definitely don't drink enough water which probably leads to my overly scalp, beard, and mustache. I also probably compound the problem by constantly drinking really strong coffee from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep.
Easy fix!
i have naturally dry and sensitive skin and dry scalp. no matter the rotation of products my scalp and skin under my beard will become dry and flake. if i try to exfoliate and get all the skin outta there my skin gets red lol water is on point too. maybe i just gotta apply oil more often, i thought maybe i am allergic to certain essential or carrier oils but its hard to say which ones
I would absolutely try more oil and even try to up the water intake.
I have soreness on my chin type dandruff. It seems like it happens if I don’t dry my beard / chin thoroughly. I have been using oil regularly for about 6 months now . I started wetting my beard after work to reshape after wearing a mask all day . I since stopped because of this dandruff spot on my chin . Gonna try and exfoliate. Thanks Dan
Yea man, during the winter is the worst.....also drinking more water and better quality products and I am finally getting a better shower comb...the handle comb from BO.
Absolutely true!
Mine is like a broken snow globe and it started a month ago. I'm 60 and for the first time in my life I work in the office as an equipment salesman. Before I was always the guy in the shop! It's so embarrassing and I'm always checking my black polo company shirt to see if I have to brush it off!
This video should help!
@@DanCBearded thanks Dan
I didn’t know this was even a thing until recently I was scratching my beard and look down my shirt was full with white flakes
Hopefully this helped!
Here in Brazil the recommended amount of water to drink daily is 5 L (about 1 and a half gallons) man that's too much...
The best rule to follow is take half your body weight and drink that number of ounces
Never had it
Lucky!
Great to know! Luckily i don't have this problem!
That's great!
I’m experiencing beardrift now and after watching your video I think I’m overdoing the beard shampoo
That would make sense!
Great video Dan! I’ve been tackling this issue recently myself and have found an aggressive oil treatment before bed a quick way to address it. Letting the oil soak in overnight has worked wonders.
Thanks!
That's awesome and very effective!
I found a detangler brush (with plastic beads on each bristle) cut down on irritation during exfoliation.
I started uploading beard videos three years ago, and the main reason I stopped was because of bearddruff. I’ve finally grown a decent beard since then without bearddruff and I fixed it by drying out my beard with a towel instead of a hairdryer.
I’m the opposite I would dry my beard with a towel and have dandruff but started using the cold setting on my hairdryer and I don’t have it anymore
Hi Dan, What helps me a lot against the itchy beardruff is a Beard Scrub. I use the brand Proraso for this, but i'm sure there are other brands too.
I Constantly Get Drift On the left side of my chin only & its only that small little spot but throughout the rest of my beard I’m good ... kind of trip
Those spots can be pretty common. Just keep exfoliating and adding oil
Great video Dan. I thought beardruff (or dandruff for that matter) was caused by heat, aka blowdryer? But if water intake is the cause, or rather the solution, that would explain why I'm struggling with it. I have periods where I drink a lot of water (usually in spring/summer) but when the weather gets colder, I don't really have an urge for water, but rather coffee/tea, etc. If drinking more water would solve both beardruff and dandruff, that would be awesome, though it may just be a genetic issue? :/
This video will the key for you! Give it a shot 🤝
Looks good!
Thank you!
Do I see white whiskers popping out on you Dan?🤨🧐
I have more popping out and guys are telling me to color it in. But I’m not going to do that 🙄. Sorry off subject.
I have tons of greys, and love them!
Any product recommendations? Kit etc?
Yup! Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/Bm1i4kzg0SI/видео.html
What is the name of the brush?
The only time I have beard dandruff is when I don't take care of my beard for a couple of days.
I take my showers at night so it's much more easier to take care of my beard but in the morning sometimes I don't even touch it especially if I'm not leaving the house.
On a unrelated note should I comb my beard after using beard butter at night or does it matter?
I think combing is beneficial because it spreads product on skin and through beard. I always comb after butter and even after light balm. I would not comb heavy-hold balm or wax applied to a specific place for the purpose of holding the hairs in position.
@@leosigman7239 Thanks.
Yes, I do recommend coming after applying any product. Simply to spread the product evenly and get it to where it needs to go
I have beard dandruff issue can you please suggest Good products

Thank you...
You're absolutely welcome!
Question for you. I drink a lot of water each day, use a beard shampoo and oil yet I still have that scale on my skin. It doesn't always flake but itches all the time. What else should I be doing? It almost seems like a season thing.
Make sure you are exfoliating daily in each shower, with a comb raking the skin. Beyond that, make sure you are using high-quality oil and wash, and using the right ones for you. For example, do not use a stripping wash daily. Give the oil and beard wash a try from the company below. The owner created the company because of similar skin conditions.

Yeah I love your content I'm still using Walmart special so they even got butter I work so much to where it f**** up my beard so much it's nice to have stuff until I find the right product and yes a lot of water would be nice to get going more and you only said a 31 and a half times I'm just playing I love how my beards turning out you should make like a beard competition and see which one's better no I'm just kidding but keep it up
Haha thanks Mike!
Hey so I have eczema, usually get it around my chin area and mustache area. Every time I try to grow a beard, my dry skin gets more irritated. Any pointers on what beard shampoo to use? And how often should I clean my beard?
Try the solid beard bar wash by: Whiskey n Hardtack= www.whiskeynhardtack.com/danc

How often will depend on your activity level. If you get sweaty or dirty, wash daily. If not, try every other day
@@DanCBearded I’m very active in both my job and outside of it. Had to shave it off because the beard dandruff was getting outta hand as usual and skin was getting irritated. So wash once a day? Any oils I should use? for next time I decide to grow it out. Also when should start doing all of this, like 2 weeks in or wait a bit longer. Know my situation is a bit different with having eczema and all.
Could you please recommend good beard washes?
Hey Jeffrey, check out this video: ruclips.net/video/Bm1i4kzg0SI/видео.html
Yes I have and dehydration seems to be the root cause but at work hard to drink a gallon during the day.
I hear that! If you are able to do it, it will pay off though
Beards been really itchy lately. I just sat in the bathroom and brushed the bejesus out of it. It looked like it snowed in there. So thanks for your tips.
Is there much difference between beard wash and just shampoo?
Yes, all the difference in the world!
@@DanCBearded should I look for any key ingredients?
Pretty sure I'm just another one suffering from dry skin overall because if i go more than 2 or 3 days without oil (i sometimes forget in a rush to get out the door) my skin under my beard and stash becomes super dry and flaky but slightly over oiling always works well to correct this problem for me since my skins seems to absorb things rather quickly compared to most people ive seen
What is the comb called that you use in the shower?
I use the #8 carbon fiber from Chicago combs
What’s a good exfoliator to use on the skin?
That Is Gotta Be Embarrassing Dan , I Don't Know What I Ll Do If My Beard Looked Like I Just Went Through A Snow Storm All Time.
Haha true true
Congrats on 30K Subs Dan. Drink water!
Thank you Andrew!
I have super oily skin. Should I be washing every day or every other day or 2?
Here for my hubby hes always had flakies in his goatee. Wasn't crazy bad and ever really bothered him other than the appearance. But just tonight he said his chin is on fire. We have for the past week been outside in the garden n doing yard work in pretty hot weather (80s*F). Could that have caused the inchy burning? like sweating and probably dehydration? Other than duh drink more water what do u recommend to get rid of or atleast lessen the flakies? Thanks 😊 xoxo
Drink more water is spot on! Also, he will want to get a beard wash and beard oil. Scrub the wash in shower and oil after the shower
I used minoxidil for a month beard grew faster but after using it i got flaky and red iritated skin under my nouse and a bid less but also rest of my beard . I now try to get rid of it with Brushing it daily till the flakes are gone and using oil and balm (wash it 3 times a week with beardshampoo) . Has not gone yet do . If any got some more tips feel free to share . And nop not using minoxidil anymore or ever for that matter .
I do not know the most about the topics surrounding minoxidil, I am sorry!
@@DanCBearded It made my beard grow fast , used it for a month and stopt but 2 weeks later i started to get flakes . Now brushing them out every day and refeeding my skin and beard with beardoil see if it gonne clear out .
Never the best of times when that ol train comes around
So true!
Ya i have bread dandruff but its not so bad now but i don't comb my beard every day but i do have a lot of tangels in it tho
I’m growing out my beard, do I need to use a beard conditioner? Or can I just use a beard wash and beard oil, what do you recommend?
Beard wash and beard oil are all you need. Once your beard is longer and you experience tangles/snags, then you can look at adding in conditioner
@@DanCBearded ok thanks, your videos have been the most helpful on RUclips in my opinion.
I appreciate that! I am always here to help
What is your opinion on using a 2 in 1 beard wash that also condition, is it better to get just a wash and add conditioner later like you mentioned or is a 2in1 ok at this point or even necessary? I am looking at maybe trying every man jack sea salt beard wash what’s your opinion? I already am using there beard oil and love the sea salt smell.
@Aar0nDown 2n1 is terrible, unfortunately. Here is a video on it: ruclips.net/video/sEKluiLv75s/видео.htmlsi=3Tdqowf4KKXr0j8V
Drift can also be from Seborrheic Dermatitis which is what I have. This is a over growth of yeast in the body Candida. Teatree , Peppermint , eucalyptus and coconut oil have helped me. Dan it would be nice to see a video or more on this and beard products to get rid of this. Heroes and legends have a wash but they are shut down for sale of the Business. So I can’t get any of the products I need.
If you are still growing your beard out, can you please give me the name of a couple products that work well for you? I’m trying to do some research for my husband that is new at growing a beard. His beard is very thick and coarse, he does not drink water hardly at all, so that’s going to have to change, but if you have any products that are tried and true for you, I would love to hear what they are. Thank you so much. Have a great day.
So. I found like one super long beard hair. Lile twice the length of the rest kf my hairs. Is this an outlier or would this indicate how far my beard can grow?
Likely an outlier, unfortunately
I've been experiencing beardruff a lot this year. I've had it mostly around my mouth and throughout my eyebrows. I'm thinking it's due to insufficient water intake.
Almost always is!
If it's around your eyesbrows, then its not normal dandruff! It's fungi! Probably seborrheic dermatitis, dermatologist is a must see.
I get dry skin under my nose, drives me nuts
Hopefully this video helps!
I wouldn't call what I get beard dandruff. I have a couple of patches on my face where the skin flakes off. It isn't just small flakes and the patch is painful until that dead skin is off. I can go in with tweezers and peel it off. I use beard oil and conditioning beard butter but the only thing I have found that really helps my skin is pure coconut oil. I get it from the natural foods store. It just takes a little and if I use it every day, I don't have a problem. If I slack off for a day, it takes a few days of applying the coconut oil for it to heal. I haven't found a beard oil with coconut oil. Probably because coconut oil solidifies somewhere around 75 degrees.
That unfortunately is not uncommon!
Hey Dan, awesome video! Fortunately, I haven't encountered any beardruff (such a great word). However, I read on Head and Shoulders® website that their head hair shampoo also works to clear beardruff. I am thinking, whoa that could be too strong of a product to put on beards and facial skin. What's your thoughts concerning Head and Shoulders® for beardruff? Also, would the fungi Malassezia restricta and Malassezia globosa cause beardruff like on the head? Then it would be possible that the active ingredient in Head and Shoulders®, Pyrithione Zinc (ZPT), could work. Thanks Dan.
I am not sure on those, but great questions! I am not afraid to admit when I don't know something, but I will try to look into it!
Thanks Dan, that's why you're the premiere trusted source for beards and all beard realtors things. Thanks for looking into it.
I use a good beard oil, Also i use a beard shampoo and conditioner 2 in 1. I look after my beard well. So when i saw white flakes in my beard i became confused. It also only happen after a bath when i use the beard shampoo and conditioner. 1 hour after the bath i can't see any flakes. Also i don't have dry skin in my beard nor redness. Have you an idea about my situation?
Stop using that 2in1!
😅I'm struggling. Tried oil, made it worse. Switched shampoo, wash, etc.. no change. It's horrible under here y'all. Please help
The steps in this video, paired with quality products, will solve it! What beard oil and beard wash are you using?
@@DanCBearded I've gone through several
Right, but it genuinely matters which ones. Using low quality doesn’t have any resemblance of what the experience is like with quality products. If you share which ones, I can give you the help you were asking for
@@DanCBearded I've used polished gentleman, mountaineer brand, Cremo, I don't know the rest atm. Those worked best for me but like anything else its short lived. They work for a month or two then I'm in a mess again
@@DanCBearded everyman jack, polished gentleman are the latest two
Off topic, but... where did you find that dope comb?
