What kind of beard products is oil or beard butter or beard balm can you recommend for gray beards as you know a great beers are more brittle and softer more easier to tear off
You didnt mention nutrient deficiencies and skin disorder. Not saying your tips arent good but somebody might have a certain type of skin and needs more magnesium or something or b12
I restarted my beard journey October 13th, Since then I’ve been making sure I drink plenty of water along with actually being consistent in taking care of my beard. I used to drink a gallon of sweet tea a day since I started drinking a gallon of water instead I can honestly say my beard feels and looks way healthier.
My beard is my hydration meter. Huge noticeable difference when I'm not drinking enough water. Feels bad, doesn't style well, just goes full bird's nest without proper water intake.
Definitely more use of oil amount has helped me out. Dont always just go off of the back of the label saying a dime size amount. Definitely experiment and see what works for you, all beards are Different!
I totally agree with beard butter at night, it feels awesome. However because I sleep on my stomach I have had eye issues due to the beard butter transferring from pillow. So I now just use in the morning after a face wash.
Great video as always! One thing that helps me during wintery months is using a humidifier. Winter in Georgia means little to no humidity which drys out my skin and beard. Where’s my Big Mac you promised me?!
I've got in the habit of every time I use the bathroom when washing my hands I run my comb under the water and run it through the beard. Do this a couple times adds some moisture and helps tighten up any fly aways.
Great video, thanks. Got a long beard for about 7 years. Best advices I could add: Use conditioner with natural ingredients to wash the beard. Use castor oil in the evening to strengthen the hair. Use a big comb to avoid "overstretching" the hair. And don't put your hands on your beard to play around. Put away that habit.
My beard is about 7 to 8 inches in length. My beard will dry super fast after washing it and getting out of the shower & become frizzy. I use name brand products, recommended by you. I use a heated beard brush. I sometimes use a hairdryer. Keep up the good work & be safe.
I will say something that was a game changer for me. Why my hair is damp. I use a wood comb why my hair is damp to go through my beard b4 applying oil. Feels like I open the tangle hair. So when the oil gets applied. I feel it applies evenly. Also every 2 weeks I sit my wood comb in pumpkin seed oil.
Satin or silk pillowcases were a game changer for me. I have Afro textured hairs with a big beard that is prone to dryness. The cotton may feel soft on the skin, but it pulls the oils and moisture out of my beard over night. Now? No more split ends.
I just discovered that beard butter what drying out my beard. I drank lots of water wet my beard, used good quality oils and butters but still nothing, my beard was still dry. One night I skipped the butter and woke up to a super soft and hydrated beard. I think that the butter was preventing the water from being soaked into hair and skin especially since I'm not morning shower person. To me morning shower ppl should use butter at night and night shower ppl should use butter during the day, so far it's worked for me!
I use my Wife's Biolage hair products. I know he said your beard hair is different but, this hair product is not any ordinary hair product. It makes my beard move as I do, I don't have to use much oils or butter I just use a little balm to hold my beard down a little just to style, smells great. It is pretty expensive but it last a long time
Tip 2. Usage of beard oil after EVERYSHOWER!! I cannot stress this enough 💯 go directly into the beard hitting the skin, massage in, I comb with wooden comb works perfectly for my beard it’ll spread oil evenly. Dan c, big up you my guy 🤜🏼🤛🏼 love your videos boss.
I'd also add, keep in mind the temperature around you. I just moved from California to Oklahoma, and let me tell you, an Oklahoma winter is a lot harsher on my beard than Cali's ever were! Be sure to increase your oil application(by just a little, you don't have to go crazy)as the weather gets drier. Same thing for water intake and everything else. As your environment starts to dehydrate your body and beard more, make sure to adjust your application/consumption accordingly!
I started out 4 years ago with honest Amish beard oil. Since then I have found other brands that I like. The most important thing that I found was to use beard octane CLW. That in itself stops the dry and damaged hairs on my face. Another thing that I do to help is I will use oil after shower wait 30 minutes and put on bearded butter. I do this more often in the winter time because in the winter time it's so dry. The next day I do not need as much oil for my beard. One last thing I would say is to use a proper comb for your beard. If you do not use a comb to get the oil down deep into your skin, you are likely to overdo it with the oil because the oil is on top of your hair and doesn't reach your skin.
Quality beard oil, as well as beard butter at night, gave me the biggest improvements. I already drink plenty of water and use high quality washes/conditioners. Applying products to a damp beard helps a lot, too. These are all ultra solid suggestions!
Good information. It is amazing the difference in how my beard feels when I started drinking a gallon of water a day. Another thing that helped me is a cold rinse at the end of my shower.
I agree its great to hydrate but not around when you eat. You need your stomach acid to do eats job and break down the food you just ate. If you dilute with tons of water it can't optimally do that.
You are what you consume...that applies to actual food and water as well... your body is around 70 percent water... and if you're not replacing the water you loose regularly... then your body is going to suffer because of it... both physically and mentally... water is 🔑 ....
I know in one of your videos you stated that you can’t use bird oil based beard oils frequently as they make your beard too soft. I would say that my graying beard has loved the bird oils. I could never get my beard feeling as soft and nourished with any non-bird oil beard oils. Switching to emu and ostrich oils has been a game changer for me.
Can confirm. Staying hydrated is great overall and you'll see it in the beard. The right products. I get it but some of the products last longer than the cheap stuff you'll end up throwing away. You want good beard oil and butters not that greasy watery mix it feels nasty on your hands. Like taking olive oil and rubbing it in your beard lol
I follow all 5 of these steps almost perfectly. The acception is step 1 when it comes to when I drink my water. I find it very difficult to get my water in and by the end of the day I've got a half a gallon to chug before bed! Sometimes I don't take my first drink of my gallon until around dinner time. It's a struggle to remember to drink my water because honestly...I'm just not thirsty! But I'm going to try remember to drink it especially when I'm eating so that it will keep my mind on it the very first time I eat breakfast.
Hey Dan been watching for years. Some feedback, it would be nice to see some beard/beard oil studies in the videos, kind of how Jeff Nippard does with weight lifting.
Oh man, I have tons and tons of videos with peer reviewed journals. That’s kind of my thing lol the difference is there are only so many studies on beards. Something like weight lifting has wayyy more studies because there is more money in that industry and it’s been around longer (US beard products industry started in 2011). But when applicable, I always include studies. Here is just one example: A Beard Growth Oil that Actually Could Work!? I Made It - “Accelerator” ruclips.net/video/210Q0Duva4k/видео.html
In the summer time I work outside. I sweat like crazy!! Should I wash more with beard wash then ? or still one time a week. I install playground, so I'm always around dust and dirt and like I said, I sweat like crazy. I extremely enjoyed this video. I never realized what it took to grow a healthy beard. Thank you bud. I've subscribe to your page only a short while, and it has made a world of difference with your advice!!
Awesome video, when I find my beard is dry I usually add a Leave in Conditioner to my nighttime oil/butter routine and that usually fixes things and most of the time I only have to do it once a week if that.
Thank you Dan for help. I damaged my beard but I will fix it, been bummed out for a couple of days. This and another video this morning made me feel better...take it easy Dan 😎😎😎.
Where would you rate beard lotion? I of course did the beginner mistake and not intake nowhere near enough water and for that my skin underneath my face hair was dry/itchy and flaky. I've since been drinking more water and also have been applying beard+face lotion to help remedy the dryness of my skin. I've massaged the lotion into my beard just so it makes contact with my skin. Thanks for the awesome beard advice btw!
Great advice! Wanted to add my two cents as someone who suffers from psoriasis ( extremely dry skin). For anyone who implements these tips but still struggle with dryness, try adding some butter to your routine in the afternoon as well as at night. I found a full rinse before bed and nighttime butter really helps as well.
This is a fantastic video, Dan! Lots of great info. My spouse and I live on a farm on the shores of Lake Huron (Canadian side), about 25 min drive from Port Huron, Michigan. For anyone that calls the Great Lakes home, you know how brutally insane the winds that come off the lakes can be, especially this time of year. The air gets sooooooooooo dry! With my current routine, it seems I can only achieve a soft, manageable, comfortable beard for about two to three days out of the week during the winter months (if I'm lucky). I'm definitely going to take your advice and report back in a few weeks. Also, one other tip that I find improves things at home: running a humidifier 24x7 helps with keeping the static down (especially if you are one to use heat when grooming). Thanks again, Dan!
@@DanCBearded yeah, it is super insane wind here tonight as well. I went out to tend to the sheep and goats earlier and today's grooming was instantly out the window haha
I'm 3 hours south of Port Huron. Right now we're getting lake effect weather from either Lake Erie, or Lake Michigan depending on which way the wind blows! Couple that with this week being deer gun season here in Ohio & spending all daylight hours in the woods with this wind I swear I can feel my beard break off with every gust! Not only is the air disgustingly dry, but I don't think folks in warmer climates realize that it's easier to dehydrate in colder temperatures up here than it is in the heat of the summer! We added a humidifier to our furnace last spring. Best move we ever made! Stay warm my friend!
Water, water, and oh yeah... water. Not only has increasing my water intake helped with the feel and health of my beard, it has been instrumental in my other health goals...
Thanks Dan great video I've been drinking water since if been growing out my beard my beard feels so nourished and healthy all 5 steps I do on a daily basis.
So i have to drink more water now and look what my beard soap and oil are made of. Here in Finland we dont have meny options. So i hope i find a shop from states ho can send me a good stuff. Sorry about my english if i write someting wrong
Haven’t tried applying oil on a damp beard regularly except for after a shower, going to try this when I don’t shower too and see how that helps me with sone of the dryness that I experience, great video thanks Dan
Interesting that you mention daily gentle washes. Could you point out to a few quality ones that can be acquired in Europe? It's fine if they are American products, as long as they can be easily ordered from Europe. Could you share some safe bets for us to look into please? Many thanks.
Great video! I've also found that depending on the condition of my beard, switching up my conditioner in the shower can help get me back on track. I've considered an occasional leave-in conditioner as well.
Great video, my water intake has improved my beard a lot, it was trial and error before I got my oil ratio down, I'm a fan of a spray bottle to get my beard damp, I can tell if don't use beard butter at night. All your tips has drastically improved my beard.
No right or wrong answer. “Double washing” in the shower is perfectly fine, especially if you feel the first wash isn’t getting it done. It’s all about personal variables
Question not only for our Trusted Teacher, but for others as well, please: Could you recommend a good quality gentle beard wash? I'm having a hard time finding one in Mississippi.
Tons of great options! here are a few favorites: Solid beard wash bar by Bearded Mack= tinyurl.com/4ky75tkn * DANC = 15% off LCW by Beard Octane= tinyurl.com/yc7hwf83 * DANC10 = 10% off Beard wash by Doctor Nicks= tinyurl.com/2sres7x4 * DANC = 15% off
Great video as always Dan For the water intake, I agree 100%. Even though this is my weaker area, I still have noticed drastic differences in my beard and body health. My goal is to constantly drink 80oz a day. For the beard butter tip, I 100% agree. My beard feels amazing and soft after I wake up in the afternoon (I work graveyard shift lol). When I comb through it, the comb goes through like butter (pun intended lol). For the beard oil amount, I can attest to your beard feeling oily if you use too much. When I first started using oil daily, I was using too much, and I could easily wipe off excess oil of my beard. For the beard wash, I also agree with what you mentioned. The only thing I'd add to your tip is if you work out and sweat every day, make sure to wash your beard after, I personally use a daily gentle wash then once a week I hit my beard with a nice stripping wash before work (Usually on my Monday).
Great tips, and great video as always! It might not necessarily help with dryness but more overall look and feel is fairly regular maintenance/trimming. Cut off those split ends and keep the beard looking and feeling great.
Great video Dan. Water makes a huge difference in the feel of my beard. I can tell when I have not had enough water. All great tips that everyone should have in their routine
Hey Trusted teacher, thanks for everything you do, much appreciated 👍👊. I have changed my routine for about the last month or so, one gallon of water daily has made a big difference in my beard and also I have recently been using Detroit Grooming Company Corktown beard butter in my grooming, the butter IS in a league of their own, great stuff and I wish I would have used it earlier, all I can say about their butter is "wow", amazing stuff. That has been a big game changer with my long white beard. Again, thanks for everything you do brother🙏👍.
@@DanCBearded 4 numerals are appended to my name, which have never been there. This looks to be true for nearly all. Searching, I found only unfounded speculation. Do you know anything about this?
Dan, great job putting this video together. I know you cover much of this in other videos, which I have watched. This really captured an amazing amount of information, in an easy to consume timeframe and format.
Great video Dan. I can definitely say because of the increased water intake I have noticed the difference in beard. The other tip that made a big difference was putting the oil on a damp beard. I used to pat dry my beard completely before putting oil and balm in my beard. After watching some of your videos and doing the oil in the damp beard it made a huge difference and I also switched to butter because of your videos. I'm still tinkering with the beard wash and have yet to find the daily one but I have an idea for the next one to try thanks to your channel. As always thank you for the great tips and advice.
Totally dig your videos Dan! I'm new to beard products, and trying grow this thing. You mentioned using a good daily beard wash - is Live Bearded brand a good one to use daily? Love their products, bought them based on your reviews. 55 year old with graying and red beard, shorter medium length, SoCal. Looking forward to your advise. ✌️
An excellent video Dan. I follow all 5 of these tips. One thing I would have added to tip number 5 would be never use the shampoo you use to wash your head hair to wash your beard and the reasons why. The reason I would have added that is a lot of men think since they have no problems with the shampoo cleaning their head hair that it will be fine for the beard which is not the case. I'm wondering since the shampoo used to wash our head hair is to stripping to use on a regular basis leaving our beard feeling dry, brittle like straw causing breakage and split ends would it be ok to use the same shampoo we use to wash our head hair once a week or once every be 2 weeks as a stripping wash for the beard?
No, I would not recommend that. Mainly because it isn't just about being too stripping, it's about what it is designed for. Head hair shampoo is primarily for hair, while beard shampoo is for skin and hair. The ingredient list varies because of that.
Another great video Dan. I'm so happy I found your channel and started using Oil and Butter vs the Jelly I had bought the last time I tried to grow my beard out. Who knew that a non-itchy beard didn't have to feel greasy? Viewers of videos, that's who!

What kind of beard products is oil or beard butter or beard balm can you recommend for gray beards as you know a great beers are more brittle and softer more easier to tear off
Solid tips Dan nicely done
You didnt mention nutrient deficiencies and skin disorder.
Not saying your tips arent good but somebody might have a certain type of skin and needs more magnesium or something or b12
@MartinMartin-bh4ke thanks for the add on
@@DanCBearded No problem, I figured it would make for a good follow up video 😄
I restarted my beard journey October 13th, Since then I’ve been making sure I drink plenty of water along with actually being consistent in taking care of my beard. I used to drink a gallon of sweet tea a day since I started drinking a gallon of water instead I can honestly say my beard feels and looks way healthier.
Oh wow! Sounds like a great switch for you
Water is definitely your friend
Always!
Dan c. A living legend.
Haha idk about that, but I never turn down a compliment. Thank you sir!
Staying hydrated be my biggest problem. I don't drink enough water sometimes. And that does effect my beard.
I have been loving my butter so much!
My beard is my hydration meter. Huge noticeable difference when I'm not drinking enough water. Feels bad, doesn't style well, just goes full bird's nest without proper water intake.
Yes yes yes! So true
Definitely more use of oil amount has helped me out. Dont always just go off of the back of the label saying a dime size amount. Definitely experiment and see what works for you, all beards are Different!
I wish we could update those labels because it’s impossible to have those blanket statements
Should be called BEARD SCIENCE channel 👍🏼love this channel.
🤝
I totally agree with beard butter at night, it feels awesome. However because I sleep on my stomach I have had eye issues due to the beard butter transferring from pillow. So I now just use in the morning after a face wash.
Sounds like you made it work for your situation! One thing that could work would be trying satin or silk pillowcases
Great video as always! One thing that helps me during wintery months is using a humidifier. Winter in Georgia means little to no humidity which drys out my skin and beard. Where’s my Big Mac you promised me?!
Hugeee tip, love that! Thank you Mo!
This is a great tip. Up in the northeast we have the same situation in the wintry months. My humidifier is a lifesaver.
Beard butter was a game changer for me. I really notice the difference if I ever have to skip a night because I’m not at home.
Same here. I notice big time on vacation
I did have a noticeable difference when I started to use butter at night. Also feel it when I have become lazy in my night time routine.
Same same same! If I do not use it (on vacation or something) I really feel why I should
I've got in the habit of every time I use the bathroom when washing my hands I run my comb under the water and run it through the beard. Do this a couple times adds some moisture and helps tighten up any fly aways.

Huge difference in feel and look of my beard after increasing water intake. Definitely be first thing I recommend
That’s great to hear!
All great tips. A little hyaluronic acid and cupuaçu also hits hard. Probably not for everyday but wonderful once or twice a week.
Awesome tip, thank you Stephen! Widely used in women’s skin care, and I can see it growing with men and beards
My beard is about 7 to 8 inches in length. My beard will dry super fast after washing it and getting out of the shower & become frizzy. I use name brand products, recommended by you. I use a heated beard brush. I sometimes use a hairdryer. Keep up the good work & be safe.
I would try using more oil and possibly thicker oils
Good stuff Dan. I tell whoever asks about beards #1 oil #2 beard wash, everything else is a bonus.
Yup, same here!
I will say something that was a game changer for me. Why my hair is damp. I use a wood comb why my hair is damp to go through my beard b4 applying oil. Feels like I open the tangle hair. So when the oil gets applied. I feel it applies evenly. Also every 2 weeks I sit my wood comb in pumpkin seed oil.

That’s fantastic!!
A good classic no problem reasonable price beard oil you can find everywhere that I like... honest Amish
Absolutely!
I can’t wait untill you open your own beard company Dan 💯💯🔥🔥‼️‼️
No plans to right now, but I appreciate the thought man!
I just discovered that beard butter what drying out my beard. I drank lots of water wet my beard, used good quality oils and butters but still nothing, my beard was still dry. One night I skipped the butter and woke up to a super soft and hydrated beard. I think that the butter was preventing the water from being soaked into hair and skin especially since I'm not morning shower person. To me morning shower ppl should use butter at night and night shower ppl should use butter during the day, so far it's worked for me!

I use classic grooming hydration mist when I’m at home
I haven’t tried that yet

Tip 2. Usage of beard oil after EVERYSHOWER!! I cannot stress this enough 💯 go directly into the beard hitting the skin, massage in, I comb with wooden comb works perfectly for my beard it’ll spread oil evenly. Dan c, big up you my guy 🤜🏼🤛🏼 love your videos boss.
Thank you Jake!
As a second time beard growing i never took into consideration the amount of oil to use as it got longer. Seems like common sense now. Great video.
Awesome Chris! thanks for the comment
Started spraying my beard with water first. Really makes a difference.
Oh absolutely!
I like the badass beard care oil ladies men scent
Me too 🤝
Wish I could afford to try the daily wash of The Ladies Man scent along with the butter
I increased my water intake and it absolutely helps with the beard dryness and flaking.
Big time!
After 43 years old I’m on my first ever beard journey. It’s coming out thick almost two weeks into it now.

Couple that with this week being deer gun season here in Ohio & spending all daylight hours in the woods with this wind I swear I can feel my beard break off with every gust! Not only is the air disgustingly dry, but I don't think folks in warmer climates realize that it's easier to dehydrate in colder temperatures up here than it is in the heat of the summer! We added a humidifier to our furnace last spring. Best move we ever made! Stay warm my friend!
Water, water, and oh yeah... water. Not only has increasing my water intake helped with the feel and health of my beard, it has been instrumental in my other health goals...
Yesss, same here!
That hat is pure 🔥
Thanks! I always get lots of comments on it. It’s a convo starter
Digi Hug Brother.... Thank you so much....

Thanks Dan great video I've been drinking water since if been growing out my beard my beard feels so nourished and healthy all 5 steps I do on a daily basis.
Let's gooo!
Great video as always Dan 👍 I agree that beard butter at night is a huge game changer! The difference in my beard using beard butter is significant.
Such a nice difference!
So i have to drink more water now and look what my beard soap and oil are made of. Here in Finland we dont have meny options. So i hope i find a shop from states ho can send me a good stuff. Sorry about my english if i write someting wrong
See if you can get seven potions over there. They are from London
I will loje fore it. Thanks Dan
Why adjust the quantity of beard oil depending on how long your beard is when beard oil is to hydrate the skin?
It’s not though, it’s for both. Here is a recent video explaining. Be sure to read through the comments too: ruclips.net/video/v5sit_nW7U4/видео.html
Haven’t tried applying oil on a damp beard regularly except for after a shower, going to try this when I don’t shower too and see how that helps me with sone of the dryness that I experience, great video thanks Dan
Keep me posted! It will for sure make a difference
Recently started using beard butter at night and have noticed less tangling and shedding in the morning when combing my beard before washing it
Yesss!!!
Interesting that you mention daily gentle washes. Could you point out to a few quality ones that can be acquired in Europe? It's fine if they are American products, as long as they can be easily ordered from Europe. Could you share some safe bets for us to look into please? Many thanks.
The best I have used from. Europe is seven potions
Great video! I've also found that depending on the condition of my beard, switching up my conditioner in the shower can help get me back on track. I've considered an occasional leave-in conditioner as well.
That’s a great one! Agreed
Ive gotten burning sometimes b4 from fable
Oh interesting
It was only a handful of times out of 5 bottles
Great video Dan. I have noticed that drinking additional protein drinks makes a difference with my beard along with a good multivitamin
Agreed fully!

Great video, my water intake has improved my beard a lot, it was trial and error before I got my oil ratio down, I'm a fan of a spray bottle to get my beard damp, I can tell if don't use beard butter at night. All your tips has drastically improved my beard.
That’s great shade!
well, now I have a question...
some say wash your beard once...I wash it twice...because it feels better....so do I wash once or twice when in shower
No right or wrong answer. “Double washing” in the shower is perfectly fine, especially if you feel the first wash isn’t getting it done.
It’s all about personal variables
Thanks Dan, great info as always! It is crazy how important staying properly hydrated for my beard to feel good and healthy.
It really makes all the difference in the world!
Nice hat Dan.
Thanks!

For the water intake, I agree 100%. Even though this is my weaker area, I still have noticed drastic differences in my beard and body health. My goal is to constantly drink 80oz a day.
For the beard butter tip, I 100% agree. My beard feels amazing and soft after I wake up in the afternoon (I work graveyard shift lol). When I comb through it, the comb goes through like butter (pun intended lol).
For the beard oil amount, I can attest to your beard feeling oily if you use too much. When I first started using oil daily, I was using too much, and I could easily wipe off excess oil of my beard.
For the beard wash, I also agree with what you mentioned. The only thing I'd add to your tip is if you work out and sweat every day, make sure to wash your beard after, I personally use a daily gentle wash then once a week I hit my beard with a nice stripping wash before work (Usually on my Monday).
You’re the man Paul! Thank you for all the feedback and taking the time to leave it
@@DanCBearded Of course, no problem. If my experience can help one beardsmen, I'm happy :)
Great tips, and great video as always! It might not necessarily help with dryness but more overall look and feel is fairly regular maintenance/trimming. Cut off those split ends and keep the beard looking and feeling great.
No doubt! Split ends have to go
Great video Dan. Water makes a huge difference in the feel of my beard. I can tell when I have not had enough water. All great tips that everyone should have in their routine
Such a big difference!
Hey Trusted teacher, thanks for everything you do, much appreciated 👍👊. I have changed my routine for about the last month or so, one gallon of water daily has made a big difference in my beard and also I have recently been using Detroit Grooming Company Corktown beard butter in my grooming, the butter IS in a league of their own, great stuff and I wish I would have used it earlier, all I can say about their butter is "wow", amazing stuff. That has been a big game changer with my long white beard. Again, thanks for everything you do brother🙏👍.
Man that’s awesome to hear Kevin!!
Easily one of your best videos.
Thank you Leo!! I hope it helps some
@@DanCBearded 4 numerals are appended to my name, which have never been there. This looks to be true for nearly all. Searching, I found only unfounded speculation. Do you know anything about this?
@@leosigman7239 I have no idea! I don’t actually see anything. Could be because I’m on my phone
I’m terrible with the water intake i dont drink a glass a month im hooked on pepsi and i know it’s bad
Small steps to break it! try limiting yourself to a set amount a day. Then start taking days off
Dan, great job putting this video together. I know you cover much of this in other videos, which I have watched. This really captured an amazing amount of information, in an easy to consume timeframe and format.
Thank you Alan! That means a lot to me
It can itch from having too much oil in
Yes, absolutely
Some Very good tips and great video Dan C 👍😎👊
Thanks!
Ok i do got a question. I got a short beard but my beard drink a oil within 3 mins of applying it. Am i using too little
Yup! Or not the right oil for your situation. Try up’ing it and if that doesn’t do it, you will want to go with thicker oils
@@DanCBearded i usually use more than reccommended and it works just making sure I’m doing right
I've found that the number of drops of beard oil needed changes depending on the viscosity of the oil. Curious if others have noticed the same?
Yes, 100%! Generally you use more with thin oils and less with thicker oils
@Dan C Bearded - Thanks again for all the useful content! Quick question, is "Every Man Jack Beard + Face Wash" a stripping wash or a daily wash?
Very stripping!
Great video Dan. I can definitely say because of the increased water intake I have noticed the difference in beard. The other tip that made a big difference was putting the oil on a damp beard. I used to pat dry my beard completely before putting oil and balm in my beard. After watching some of your videos and doing the oil in the damp beard it made a huge difference and I also switched to butter because of your videos. I'm still tinkering with the beard wash and have yet to find the daily one but I have an idea for the next one to try thanks to your channel. As always thank you for the great tips and advice.
Chris I've tried just about all of them and none come close to Beard Octane LCW for a daily wash.
That’s awesome Chris!
Totally dig your videos Dan! I'm new to beard products, and trying grow this thing. You mentioned using a good daily beard wash - is Live Bearded brand a good one to use daily? Love their products, bought them based on your reviews. 55 year old with graying and red beard, shorter medium length, SoCal. Looking forward to your advise. ✌️
Thanks for the kind words! Livebearded has a great daily/gentle beard wash, yup!
An excellent video Dan. I follow all 5 of these tips. One thing I would have added to tip number 5 would be never use the shampoo you use to wash your head hair to wash your beard and the reasons why. The reason I would have added that is a lot of men think since they have no problems with the shampoo cleaning their head hair that it will be fine for the beard which is not the case. I'm wondering since the shampoo used to wash our head hair is to stripping to use on a regular basis leaving our beard feeling dry, brittle like straw causing breakage and split ends would it be ok to use the same shampoo we use to wash our head hair once a week or once every be 2 weeks as a stripping wash for the beard?
No, I would not recommend that. Mainly because it isn't just about being too stripping, it's about what it is designed for. Head hair shampoo is primarily for hair, while beard shampoo is for skin and hair. The ingredient list varies because of that.
Ok I understand now .thanks for explaining that.
Another great video Dan. I'm so happy I found your channel and started using Oil and Butter vs the Jelly I had bought the last time I tried to grow my beard out.
Who knew that a non-itchy beard didn't have to feel greasy? Viewers of videos, that's who!
Thank you so much Jon! You are the man
What is the best shampoo
I give my favorites in this video: ruclips.net/video/uHKv8oJnpro/видео.html
Solid tips Dan nicely done
I appreciate you Ron, thank you!
Awesome video Dan! 💯
Thanks!
Any suggestions or videos on what a good, gentle daily wash type/brand to use?
Absolutely!

@@handyj5700 any soap is going to be stripping, so stripping
