1. I never even thought of holding the hair dryer like that pointing down I always had it pointing up or straight. 2. I never knew a cold brush existed. 3. The round brush technique is a game changer. 4 Dan is a beard superhero. This i literally the best grooming advice i ever received. And it was free. You're frickin amazing Dan. 👍🎄Merry Christmas Command fam.
1) oh yeah! Point the heat in the direction you want the hairs to go 2) I have a video on it! It’s not for everyone but can be super useful 3) heck yeah! 4) thank you for the kind words. You’re the man
Its so true theres no way I could have gotten my beard to this length and maintained it without your advice on daily care. It was always why I ended up trimming because my beard would get so uncomfortable without taking care of it.
OH MY GOD. That swiping the burns and cheeks across the face with the Aberlite. The pushing the mustache out with the tongue. I've been doing this for months, maybe years if you include my first go-around. HOW DO I NOT THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS? It worked SO well. The rolling of the round brush up instead of down. I'm like, "I've been studying beards and products for probably hundreds of hours now; there can't be any new thing I don't know that would change my beard life around." Then BAM. This is officially the most helpful RUclips channel of my life, and I use RUclips for A LOT of things. Maybe this channel hasn't made me the most money or been the most life-changing, but it has certainly impressed and surprised me the most. Bravo. Never delete your old videos. Watching those made me sure I could find the answers I wanted because I was like, "How did he get his sides so straight in later years."
No matter how many "this is my daily routine video" Dan does... I always pick up something new. 1- the tongue under the mustache tip 2- the sideburns technique 😂😂😂😂😂
I remember your old routine videos and have adopted a lot of it but all the small details on this blow me away, way more advanced not to say it isn't helpful to anyone. Always good to remember it varies from person to person but just watching someone who knows exactly what they need is something else! Will possibly have to try the layers with comb and dryer or heat brush but haven't figured out where or if I need that (besides basic moustache training), what i can say is the very gentle brushing with the Heat Brush after positioned the hair with comb and blow dryer changed things for me, i believe that is something from older videos i didn't pick up on but notice more now, if you go for larger beard becomes important, been doing that for about a month and I'm so much more satisfied with the fullness, the natural but clean look of it.
Man I love this and could watch all day! Sooo many similarities, which I love to see. But also some differences brought on by personal preference and personal variables. This is what it’s all about!
I know you've mentioned this in previous videos about your imperfections... which is wild because, more often than not, your beard is terms of growth, and density is damn near perfect. But in this grooming video... you can see some of the imperfections in the side burns and cheeks and not to say it's bad... It's actually so reassuring and therapeutic for me to see it this close. It motivates me to strive for a beard like yours, bro. Now I typically say to myself that it's not a good look for me... but bro... your beard is ideal. If I had your beard, the possibilities and options would be endless. This is like gospel to me. Thank you, Dan...
@DanCBearded that's my issue. Some days I see my beard like it's bad ass... and then I see it like it's just pure ass. Like I see all of my imperfections. I know it's also to do with my own mental state and insecurities but I am fighting that daily. Have been for more than 2 decades.
Hey Dan, just come across your channel. I've been a long time sufferer of a condition called Trichotillomania, a compulsive hair pulling disorder. I would target my beard on a daily basis and pick so many hairs that I would have HUGE bald spots. Now, I can honestly say that after 3 months, I've not pulled a single hair out and I'm finally getting some volume to my beard. Its at that "awkward" stage at the moment, sitting around 2 inchest long. Im hoping my trich days are over as I would absolutely love a beard like this.
Aanndd this is why your beard always looks SO dang good Dan! I can't go a single day without using heat. My beard just doesn't look as good, or feel as good. I also love using my cold brush when I have the time to use it. It makes my hairs feel so insanely good! Thanks for doing this great start to finish video Dan!
I know all beards and routines are different in results especially where I live in TN and work in construction. I use a heated brush in my night time routine on a low heat setting before butter. It makes my beard soft and the next morning easier to style. I have to use conditioner daily as my beard feels awful without it. For me using the heated brush at night, my beard maintains it's style all day the next day, less tangles to deal with and I've seen less broken hair or split ends. That little touch has been a game changer for me the past few months.
Three cheers for purposeful beards! I also drop my chin when combing, it stretches the skin and separates the hairs a bit, making it easier to get the comb through. I like to pull the Aberlite lengthwise through each half of my stache to take advantage of all the spikes, rather than sideways which only uses a small band. It takes fewer passes. I hadn't thought of pushing out with my tongue-- will try it tomorrow!
I always find myself coming back to your Mouring Routine vids past/present, and one of the biggest takeaways for me at least is slow down yah big dummy!! lol. Thank you for your continued support and knowledge that you have given to beard growers!
This was great, absolutely helpful to those looking to tweak or improve their routines.. I think the most amazing thing, and beautiful really, your beard no longer fits the screen.. It means that not only have you grown in terms of beard knowledge and wealth, your beard has grown so gloriously!
After watching you use the aberlite pro2. It puts my wired heated brush to SHAME. Love the routine- very similar to mine! Wish my mustache would grow better! Thanks Dan!
I love it. I also think you should show us your nighttime routine. I have recently (as of today) started a routine without any product- no oil, no butter, just showering with beard wash (Beard Octane, of course) and some unscented conditioner (from The Bearded Mack.) I do use a little bit of heat protectant spray that my wife has. The reasoning behind it is that using oil and then having my beard hairs make contact with my wife's face results in painful breakouts on her face. I solved the issue of the scents and found a great hypoallergenic oil and butter, but now I'm trying to figure out how to protect her from the oil itself. I managed to style my beard by blowdrying it dry and then using my heated brush to tame it up some- it has more of a rustic look but it still looks great, I just need a trim. Perhaps I'll be taking this to the Beard Advice Live email for help. Thanks for all you do for us Dan!
Late to the party, however I watch this during MY routine and this may be a very good idea for new beardsmen. A few times as I was combing you said slow down and it reminded me to slow down. Just a good guide for people to have while they are doing there’s, they can literally go step by step with you.
Awesome routine! I’ve followed your routine for a while and my beard has never looked or felt better. Hopefully for my bday/xmas present Santa brings me a Go2 to upgrade from the pocket.
Awesome tutorial on the beard grooming Dan, I’m a round brush and hairdryer guy, my beard being red tends to wave and curl way more than yours even though I groom mine every day right after a shower. Also the tip about waiting 3-5 minutes after applying the oil is a real game changer, when you first shared the tip I was skeptical but you were right!
Hey man love what you’re doing here as always. I also think heat is very helpful for my beard. I don’t do it nearly as often as I should (sometimes I want to get ready quickly in the morning) but when I do, I notice my beard is usually softer than days I don’t use it. Not sure if it’s in my head or maybe it’s because I typically use it after oiling my beard (after 5 mins of course) so maybe it’s that build up. I only use a heated brush nothing to fancy just a resistive heater element. It’s actually meant for the hair on top of your head but it actually works great. I used to have a blow dryer but when I moved into my apartment I didn’t have a good place to store it. But honestly I prefer the heated comb.
The BaBylissPRO Cryocare Cold Brush is currently discounted (Limited Time Deal) to $75. The logic behind this product seems to make sense in that it closes the cuticle of the hair to make each hair smooth. Your video is the first I heard of a cold brush and went to check it out (also found your review from several months ago). I saw it's discounted and placed an order for it. I have an unruly, curly beard and hope it will help with texture.
Glad you mentioned to slow down during blow drying. I have that problem of going to fast. Also, a couple years ago when I 1st started looking up beard videos, Id see a routine video but they were edited to speed up so that didnt help to slow down 😂 Great video, Thanks Dan!
I've seen at least 1 other video of your routine. Maybe you only posted 1 other video. This one makes more sence to me. Now I need to buy the cooling brush. By far an extremely informative video for me.
I add one more to the hair drying, I go side all the way across and then the opposite way. Then I go down with a hair dryer and then underneath. That seems to help train the waves on either side of my mustache. I seem to change up some steps as the length is getting longer. I finally ordered a Chicago comb today and will be adding that to my routine
Another great excellent video by the one and only Dan Command! I love how thorough and transparent you are with the explanation of things! You speak my language! I have somewhat of a reputation of being “mouthy” or “long winded” about things I love and understand! But I believe in communication is key and while there is something to say about talking too much in certain situations I see more common people don’t communicate the way they should and it is problematic on different levels! I grew up hearing “men” say women talk a lot and men don’t as much but I don’t agree with those stereotypes! I watch you and Sam on Wednesdays and I love how you break things down the way you do. I wholeheartedly believe it is a gift from God and you work your gift well my friend! Beard on Dan and God bless you and your family!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment! I get knocked for talking too much all the time, but that’s just who I am. There are plenty that are good at short form, but I know there are many like us as well
The Cry-o brush really helps lock in my mustache, but I have to use sparingly on my beard (or used to 😉 hopefully soon again) if I go too slowly it'll reintroduce the waves I just removed. I'm finding that different heated brushes definitely work better, I've struggled to get a more natural look with my mustache, I can wax it, but i want a fuller relaxed look... Some heated brushes over straighten and make it look thin, the better ones ( I'm testing the Aberlite Pro) are more controlled and definitely worth the extra cost... I'll be sharing my results soon 😎
Love the videos, as a relatively new beard-man, I’m really finding them all helpful and are really making a positive difference, thank you very much, keep up the good work, all the way from England 👍
Hey Dan, I'm new to your channel and you've already taught me so much and I've already implemented so much of your tips into my beard care!! Is there anyway you could do a walk through on how to comb/brush your beard when it is slightly longer than your chin but likes to curl under your jawline? I'm specifically referring to the hair from my sideburns and cheeks, but an all around tutorial would be very helpful if possible!! Thank you for all you do sir!!!
AWESOME video. Detail, informative, and valuable. Appreciate the steps and explaining the tools and how to use them. I am glad you showed how to use some of the tools with your face as the backboard to assist in styling. Very important. Great stuff. This is one of those videos you need to watch multiple times to get all the info Q: Why Chicago Comb #8 versus a brush (round or flat) when blow-drying your beard? Q: Why the opposite direction with heated brush and sideburns? Does that method help it lay flatter? Style better? Q: If you were to use butter or balm would you still cold-shot hair dryer and cold-shot brush?
1) I’m not actually sure on details other than it’s just been the best for me. I’ll ponder it! 2) gets the hairs more straight without getting the dip from going down 3) yes, cold shot before the before the butter/balm
Good morning Dan finally the video everybody was waiting for, this is one of the most instructive video about grooming and style your beard. Dan Thank you so much for share your wisdom with us we really appreciate it, As always you provide valuable information. 👏🙏
Another helpful video. While my beard isn’t as long as yours I’ve been following your routine for the most part. Something new I learned was that you can go back and forth between heat and cold. I always try to do everything hot then lock in with the cold shot last. But sometime I see something I missed and want to fix after cold.
Actually- don’t know why but I was thinking before I got up today about if there were any differences from what I learned from you explaining grooming- I found one major one- You took a sip of water there Dan -where it’s morning I would of took a sip of my coffee lol Have an awesome day- Today was stripping day with Pine soap from Royal Beardsmen and Dr Nicks Yule Tree oil. Appreciate all you do. Gonna be awesome day- See you later tonight on Commands Corner 👍
Super helpful video. I've seen and went back to your other videos to help with my daily routine. And this one was even more instructive and helpful. I've always been afraid of daming my hair, even on low heat. So this video was definitely needed man. Much appreciated
Excellent routine Dan. My beard is at about 8 inches now and I use both a #8 and #1 and I have contemplated just using the #8 and leave the #1 alone. I’m really working on my sole patch now with the round brush because it splits in the middle and I really like the way you used it. So I’m definitely stealing that. I learned a lot of different techniques I can try as well. Thank you sir.
I always try to pay extra attention to your routine videos and see where I can improve my own. I do my sideburns the way you do with the heated brush, but I have never separated the sideburns from the beard and brushed the bottom down like you did here. I like the “heat in layers” concept and I’m excited to try it out asap! Lastly, I need to invest in a cold brush. Everything else, I already do, thanks to you! Nice work, Dan!
Thanks again Dan, I noticed that you didn’t “cold shot” underneath your beard. Not necessarily ? When you oil the skin underneath, why not the skin on top, or front of your beard ? Thanks again.
I mainly use the cold shot to lock in styling and I do not want to mess the style up by going underneath again. Just personal preference! For the oil to the skin, I am working it to the skin all throughout the beard from underneath with my fingertips. I then go back in and coat the outside of the hairs. Finished with the comb working all of that down to the pores.
Absolutely awesome!! Spot on with details and acknowledgement to us every step of the way! Really don't know what you could've missed or did differently. You knocked it out of the park as usual! My 2024 goal is to have a beard 8inches or longer. I'm at 5in right now and have been growing over a year and a half but I'm young and probably not the best genetics but the styling and caring routines from watching your videos will help me get there! God bless you and the family this Christmas and rocking in the New Year swinging! Stay safe. -Eric.... With a E lol
A timely video for me Dan as I begin my new morning routine. Today I did my stripping wash to start the week. Many thanks for your guidance. As always, very much appreciated. BTW. My bought me a hanging rack to store all of my "products."
My beard is about 1/3 to 1/2 yours, no sides, just the front curtain. I watched THIS one like a HAWK. Realized from watching that MUCH of this intuitive once you get to these lengths. Or it's from subliminal osmosis. Whatever, right? Long as ya got it! I do NOT do your blow drying routine. I do comb my oil phase probably more than most but my beard feels strong, full & healthy... but, much like you, this is a seven day commitment. I also train it with a round boar's bristle brush for my coarse 'stache and a flat travel boar's bristle to do the actual beard. Gentle to start but as I "feel" the brush gaining control of the hairs. I draw the brush along its long axis first, then, quick flip of the wrist and short axis. Just look at it and feel the difference when you do. You be able to tell. I have previously detangled it after having oiled it. Very unruly beard. Need to save what I can. Then, I use an ox horn comb that, if applied carefully, I can draw through on "first pass" due to the earlier work. Work that bad-boy through until "smooth". YOU know...😉. It takes time and patience but a beard on this scale is an exercise in that, if nothing else, right? Dan! Thanks for your inspiration to see this through to at least today. This far in, I'm committed. Keep it up. Other "budding" beardsmen NEED this stuff. ✌️👀👍
Love this video Dan!! Your tips and advice have done wonders for my beard! The sides always give me problems since I lay on them but this video just helped me to know how to tame it. 💪🧔🏻
I normally do not. If I don’t use the cold brush, I just end after the heated brush. Adding the cold shot there would be best too, but I just can’t get myself to bring the blowdryer back out gain
Morning Dan, if you don’t have the luxury of a cold brush, once you’ve blow dried and done with heated brush would you simply use the hair dryer in the cold setting ?
So..wash.oil.style and dry. How about the evening routine please. I been washing twice a day with great results but don't want you overdo it. Help:thanks
Evening is simple, two possible options: 1) evening shower = oil, wait 3-5 minutes, butter 2) no evening shower = rinse beard in sink butter (not to the skin)
This might be too analytical for some, but I’ve been into photography for a long time now, and I remember my photography teacher in college (when I first getting the bug) say that to be a great photographer today(this was in 2005 btw lol) , the learning curve has drastically decreased, you can take a photo and nearly instantly review it and see what areas you want to fix or what worked and what didn’t. So you take another photo, and another and another. When he learned, he had to go through a whole role of film, develop it, and look at it then to see how he did. And you wouldn’t just blow through a roll of film usually to see one photo. So by the time you got to put a new roll in and start again you might not even remember exactly what it was that you needed to change, so the whole process of taking a photo and learning was a very slow process, and it would happen over the course of time, unlike the way photography is today. The beard to me is similar in the respect that at least for most of us and I mean if we care about the health of the beard, is a once a day (maybe twice on a rare occasion) session of styling and seeing what worked and what didn’t. You have to wait until tomorrow to try again. You don’t really, wash, dry, oil, blow dry, ect and then go “ok I’m gonna shower and try again right now. “ and do that over and over and over in the same hour. It doesn’t work that way. It’s something you get once a day. If that usually. So training your beard or your muscle memory is something that will slowly develop (pun). It just takes time and patience. It’s a long game. The beard is like the old school way of learning photography, you do it once, see what happens and come back the next time. Thank you Dan for all the content!
Hi Dan, quick one for you, I do my daily routine, morning and night, but sometimes I finish work around 15:30-17:00, when I get home I have a shower, what should I do? Do I do my night time routine and done? do I do it twice? Or should I wait until bed time?
Just to clarify, you use the heated brush every day? Aberlite recommends only 2-3 times a week, so i was curious. Because I'd lovetor use the one i just bought every day without worry.
Ok, I feel somewhat validated now as this is almost exactly what I do. It's good to know I'm doing it correctly. Quick question though...I noticed you pulled a few strands out of your comb/brush every once in a while. On average, how many hairs do you pull out of your comb/brush, etc. and how many would be too many?
When grooming probably 5-10 hairs are noticeable. In average throughout the day most people are going to lose 30-50 from shedding. If it has a white bulb at the end (regardless of beard hair color) it’s healthy shedding
Okay Dan, I know you normally don't use beard butter in the morning but, IF you were going to for some special reason, at what point during your morning beard routine would you add the butter and how would you do so?
I would say after heat/cold shot. When I use butter or balm, it's always the last thing I do, followed by a comb to evenly spread the product and finalize style. Maybe it's different if you use a cold shot(I don't so I'm not sure).
@@DanCBearded I love cold over the heat and seeing this ice cold brush for first time in your video was amazing and now I want one! Thx for all you do! And again, I'm sure u hear this often but dang your beard is fabulous!
@@DanCBearded yes! I will be watching it later. Your channel is a remarkable tool for all things beard related! I have a lot of catching up to do before I introduce my BF and pretend I know more about his beard health then him 😂😂😂😂
📌 consider subscribing to the channel - bit.ly/32QgQHk - Thank you!
1. I never even thought of holding the hair dryer like that pointing down I always had it pointing up or straight.
2. I never knew a cold brush existed.
3. The round brush technique is a game changer.

Man this just made my night! Thanks for the kind feedback
Awesome Dan! Still laughing at your comment about the torso area being taco meat!
😂😂
No matter how many "this is my daily routine video" Dan does... I always pick up something new.
1- the tongue under the mustache tip
2- the sideburns technique
😂😂😂😂😂
I appreciate that!

Man I love this and could watch all day! Sooo many similarities, which I love to see. But also some differences brought on by personal preference and personal variables. This is what it’s all about!
Thank you! And I agree, I could watch other morning routines all day. I love picking up little things I didn’t think of
I know you've mentioned this in previous videos about your imperfections... which is wild because, more often than not, your beard is terms of growth, and density is damn near perfect. But in this grooming video... you can see some of the imperfections in the side burns and cheeks and not to say it's bad... It's actually so reassuring and therapeutic for me to see it this close.

Oh for sure, we all have our variables. Just have to rock them with confidence!
@DanCBearded that's my issue. Some days I see my beard like it's bad ass... and then I see it like it's just pure ass. Like I see all of my imperfections. I know it's also to do with my own mental state and insecurities but I am fighting that daily. Have been for more than 2 decades.
Hey Dan, just come across your channel. I've been a long time sufferer of a condition called Trichotillomania, a compulsive hair pulling disorder. I would target my beard on a daily basis and pick so many hairs that I would have HUGE bald spots.

I definitely focused on slow and gentle strokes with my comb. I feel that you were still going pretty fast with the Chicago comb
Thanks for the feedback!
Three cheers for purposeful beards! I also drop my chin when combing, it stretches the skin and separates the hairs a bit, making it easier to get the comb through. I like to pull the Aberlite lengthwise through each half of my stache to take advantage of all the spikes, rather than sideways which only uses a small band. It takes fewer passes. I hadn't thought of pushing out with my tongue-- will try it tomorrow!
Makes sense! I have always just opened my mouth because it is natural to me
I always find myself coming back to your Mouring Routine vids past/present, and one of the biggest takeaways for me at least is slow down yah big dummy!! lol. Thank you for your continued support and knowledge that you have given to beard growers!
It’s my biggest reminder too! lol

It’s wild man and thank you!
Never considered brushing my teal before the shower, beard sving advice!! Starting tomorrow
Let’s gooo!
That heated brush does amazing work
Game changer!
Love these routine videos Dan! Phenomenal. Also, shout out to the random tooth brushing tip, I used it this morning. Game changer
Thanks B!
I’m so messy when brushing my teeth I’m going to have to start looking up and tilting my head back.
After watching you use the aberlite pro2. It puts my wired heated brush to SHAME. Love the routine- very similar to mine! Wish my mustache would grow better! Thanks Dan!

Thanks for the tip about round brush and blow dryer to get rid of chin bump. I was debating getting rid of beard until I saw this
Oh awesome man! You have found the right place with this channel

The logic behind this product seems to make sense in that it closes the cuticle of the hair to make each hair smooth. Your video is the first I heard of a cold brush and went to check it out (also found your review from several months ago). I saw it's discounted and placed an order for it. I have an unruly, curly beard and hope it will help with texture.
Absolutely and that is a great deal!
This was a super useful video for me, and greatly appreciate it.
Also, almost didn't recognize you at first without the hat 🤣
I go hatless on occasion lol actually just got a nice haircut yesterday
As always, thank Dan. Great info. 🤘
I appreciate it!
Glad you mentioned to slow down during blow drying. I have that problem of going to fast. Also, a couple years ago when I 1st started looking up beard videos, Id see a routine video but they were edited to speed up so that didnt help to slow down 😂
Great video, Thanks Dan!
Good stuff!
I've seen at least 1 other video of your routine. Maybe you only posted 1 other video. This one makes more sence to me. Now I need to buy the cooling brush. By far an extremely informative video for me.
I am glad it is informative!
I add one more to the hair drying, I go side all the way across and then the opposite way. Then I go down with a hair dryer and then underneath. That seems to help train the waves on either side of my mustache. I seem to change up some steps as the length is getting longer. I finally ordered a Chicago comb today and will be adding that to my routine
Awesome, thanks for the add!
I like the way you say everything to help this that need that extra boost of growing a perfect beard
Awesome man!
Another great excellent video by the one and only Dan Command! I love how thorough and transparent you are with the explanation of things! You speak my language! I have somewhat of a reputation of being “mouthy” or “long winded” about things I love and understand! But I believe in communication is key and while there is something to say about talking too much in certain situations I see more common people don’t communicate the way they should and it is problematic on different levels! I grew up hearing “men” say women talk a lot and men don’t as much but I don’t agree with those stereotypes! I watch you and Sam on Wednesdays and I love how you break things down the way you do. I wholeheartedly believe it is a gift from God and you work your gift well my friend! Beard on Dan and God bless you and your family!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment! I get knocked for talking too much all the time, but that’s just who I am. There are plenty that are good at short form, but I know there are many like us as well
@@DanCBearded I agree sir!
The Cry-o brush really helps lock in my mustache, but I have to use sparingly on my beard (or used to 😉 hopefully soon again) if I go too slowly it'll reintroduce the waves I just removed.
I'm finding that different heated brushes definitely work better, I've struggled to get a more natural look with my mustache, I can wax it, but i want a fuller relaxed look... Some heated brushes over straighten and make it look thin, the better ones ( I'm testing the Aberlite Pro) are more controlled and definitely worth the extra cost... I'll be sharing my results soon 😎
You’re the man Brian!
I was wondering about the cryobrush too and this helps to know what to expect if or likely when I do go for one.
@@Ottobon I feel like it really locks in the style, I use it after shower and oil, before heat... Then a quick pass after heat...
@@theartistformerlyknownasbr4849 I would not have though of that, thanks for letting me know! Absolute legend you are Brian
Love the videos, as a relatively new beard-man, I’m really finding them all helpful and are really making a positive difference, thank you very much, keep up the good work, all the way from England 👍
Thank you so much!
such a great instructional video, and super informative! 🔥
Thank you!
Hey Dan, I'm new to your channel and you've already taught me so much and I've already implemented so much of your tips into my beard care!! Is there anyway you could do a walk through on how to comb/brush your beard when it is slightly longer than your chin but likes to curl under your jawline? I'm specifically referring to the hair from my sideburns and cheeks, but an all around tutorial would be very helpful if possible!! Thank you for all you do sir!!!
I will write it down and see what I can do!
Awesome! Thank you sir!@@DanCBearded
I think a heated brush would make my beard look so much better, I see one coming in the future
I couldn’t keep me beard like this without one
AWESOME video. Detail, informative, and valuable. Appreciate the steps and explaining the tools and how to use them. I am glad you showed how to use some of the tools with your face as the backboard to assist in styling. Very important. Great stuff. This is one of those videos you need to watch multiple times to get all the info
Q: Why Chicago Comb #8 versus a brush (round or flat) when blow-drying your beard?
Q: Why the opposite direction with heated brush and sideburns? Does that method help it lay flatter? Style better?
Q: If you were to use butter or balm would you still cold-shot hair dryer and cold-shot brush?
1) I’m not actually sure on details other than it’s just been the best for me. I’ll ponder it!
2) gets the hairs more straight without getting the dip from going down
3) yes, cold shot before the before the butter/balm
Good morning Dan finally the video everybody was waiting for, this is one of the most instructive video about grooming and style your beard. Dan Thank you so much for share your wisdom with us we really appreciate it, As always you provide valuable information. 👏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, Dan! Side note....i do the silicone wedding ring myself and LOVE it!!!!
Thanks!! And absolutely, could not imagine going to a solid ring
Another helpful video. While my beard isn’t as long as yours I’ve been following your routine for the most part. Something new I learned was that you can go back and forth between heat and cold. I always try to do everything hot then lock in with the cold shot last. But sometime I see something I missed and want to fix after cold.
I am so glad this helped!
Great video I’ll be using these tips/tricks for my sides. I need to look into that cold brush that looks amazing. Thanks Dan
Thanks Brad!
Amazing instructional video! This video is golden and I will be using it as a guide. Thank you so much Dan!
Thank you!! Was excited to get this one out
Great beard care routine! 👍
Thanks! 👍
Looking really good my man! I keep saying to my self I need to get me a #8 chicago comb
Yes, yes you do!
Excellent work brother, great tips!
My man Dan!!!! 1) congrats on the wedding! 2) thanks for stopping by to watch
I absolutely love this video with tips and tricks. Your beard looks amazing bro
Thank you Nidal!
Awesome- I follow exactly this except cold brush. Have a great day.
Oh awesome!
Actually- don’t know why but I was thinking before I got up today about if there were any differences from what I learned from you explaining grooming- I found one major one- You took a sip of water there Dan -where it’s morning I would of took a sip of my coffee lol Have an awesome day- Today was stripping day with Pine soap from Royal Beardsmen and Dr Nicks Yule Tree oil. Appreciate all you do. Gonna be awesome day- See you later tonight on Commands Corner 👍
@mikeh2373 water > coffee 😂
Remind me again, Dan. What does the cold air from the brush do for your beard?
Locks in the styling, traps moisture, and just feels satisfying lol
Super helpful video. I've seen and went back to your other videos to help with my daily routine. And this one was even more instructive and helpful. I've always been afraid of daming my hair, even on low heat. So this video was definitely needed man. Much appreciated
Oh awesome Kenz!
Excellent routine Dan. My beard is at about 8 inches now and I use both a #8 and #1 and I have contemplated just using the #8 and leave the #1 alone. I’m really working on my sole patch now with the round brush because it splits in the middle and I really like the way you used it. So I’m definitely stealing that. I learned a lot of different techniques I can try as well. Thank you sir.
Glad there were helpful parts!!
You got a good thing going on with that beard. That looks really nice. 👍
Thank you!
🔥I’m going to try some of these methods!
You should! Keep me posted
I always try to pay extra attention to your routine videos and see where I can improve my own. I do my sideburns the way you do with the heated brush, but I have never separated the sideburns from the beard and brushed the bottom down like you did here. I like the “heat in layers” concept and I’m excited to try it out asap! Lastly, I need to invest in a cold brush. Everything else, I already do, thanks to you! Nice work, Dan!
You’re the man!
Awesome video brother, is there a link for the cold brush?
It comes and goes from Amazon. Just search “babyliss cold brush” and you should find some options!
Yes this helps me so much and thank you so much for taking the time to answer all the questions I have. Have an awesome happy new year! 🎉
Truly always happy to help! I appreciate you being on the channel 🤝
What’s up Dan! Hope all is well! 🙏❤️🙂
Hey man!
What an awesome,awesome demo! The best you have ever done.
Wow, thanks!
What great advice. I'm thankful for how you teach! I take your advice because it works!! Thank you man!
Glad to help! Thanks for the kind words
Good morning, Dan. Great video, nice routine.
Thank you!
Thanks again Dan, I noticed that you didn’t “cold shot” underneath your beard. Not necessarily ? When you oil the skin underneath, why not the skin on top, or front of your beard ? Thanks again.
I mainly use the cold shot to lock in styling and I do not want to mess the style up by going underneath again. Just personal preference!
For the oil to the skin, I am working it to the skin all throughout the beard from underneath with my fingertips. I then go back in and coat the outside of the hairs. Finished with the comb working all of that down to the pores.
Cold brush?! Interesting.
Yessir!
Good stuff man! Hope everyone has a great Xmas!
You too!
Hi there Sir.
What is the brand name of boards bristle round brush and cooling brush?
Volt for the round and babyliss for the cooling
btw your beard is amazing and other worldly!
Thank you so much!
Please share the links to tools you use.
I have a tools section in this video and all linked in the description: ruclips.net/video/fCDm8eqnZ_M/видео.htmlsi=ylC0teL0LxOcZ_Hp
Absolutely awesome!! Spot on with details and acknowledgement to us every step of the way! Really don't know what you could've missed or did differently. You knocked it out of the park as usual! My 2024 goal is to have a beard 8inches or longer. I'm at 5in right now and have been growing over a year and a half but I'm young and probably not the best genetics but the styling and caring routines from watching your videos will help me get there! God bless you and the family this Christmas and rocking in the New Year swinging! Stay safe. -Eric.... With a E lol
Thank you Eric!!!
A timely video for me Dan as I begin my new morning routine. Today I did my stripping wash to start the week. Many thanks for your guidance. As always, very much appreciated. BTW. My bought me a hanging rack to store all of my "products."
Oh very cool!
Great video as always, Dan!
Thanks!
Great video! Why use the round brush when you use the heated brush to take waves out?
I was showing both methods so people can see there are options
My beard is about 1/3 to 1/2 yours, no sides, just the front curtain. I watched THIS one like a HAWK. Realized from watching that MUCH of this intuitive once you get to these lengths. Or it's from subliminal osmosis. Whatever, right? Long as ya got it!
I do NOT do your blow drying routine. I do comb my oil phase probably more than most but my beard feels strong, full & healthy... but, much like you, this is a seven day commitment. I also train it with a round boar's bristle brush for my coarse 'stache and a flat travel boar's bristle to do the actual beard. Gentle to start but as I "feel" the brush gaining control of the hairs. I draw the brush along its long axis first, then, quick flip of the wrist and short axis. Just look at it and feel the difference when you do. You be able to tell.
I have previously detangled it after having oiled it. Very unruly beard. Need to save what I can. Then, I use an ox horn comb that, if applied carefully, I can draw through on "first pass" due to the earlier work. Work that bad-boy through until "smooth". YOU know...😉. It takes time and patience but a beard on this scale is an exercise in that, if nothing else, right?
Dan! Thanks for your inspiration to see this through to at least today. This far in, I'm committed. Keep it up. Other "budding" beardsmen NEED this stuff. ✌️👀👍
Love the feedback from your routine, thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment 🤝
Amazing video, helped me out alot Thankyou!!!
Glad it helped!
Superb video; is it neccesary to use a heat protection product before going through with a heating brush, or is beard oil enough?
Just quality beard oil is totally fine!
@@DanCBearded. Thank you very much for your fast answer.
Awesome Beard Dan!
Thanks!
Love this video Dan!! Your tips and advice have done wonders for my beard! The sides always give me problems since I lay on them but this video just helped me to know how to tame it. 💪🧔🏻
Happy to help!
Awesome content! It has help me a lot! If to use balm then I am assuming Id apply at the end of this routine?
Correct!
Is there a link for that cold brush? Great tips and tricks I’ve been trying to incorporate them into my routine
Let me grab it! a.co/d/6HveYav
Awesome! Thanks
Wonderful video, thanks! I'm curious if you would substitute a second cold shot from the hair dryer if you weren't able to use the cold brush?
I normally do not. If I don’t use the cold brush, I just end after the heated brush. Adding the cold shot there would be best too, but I just can’t get myself to bring the blowdryer back out gain
Morning Dan, if you don’t have the luxury of a cold brush, once you’ve blow dried and done with heated brush would you simply use the hair dryer in the cold setting ?
That’s a great option, yes
Such a helpful video!!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video and nice beard. This is so relaxing to watch! You are a very handsome gentleman ❤
Thank you!
So..wash.oil.style and dry. How about the evening routine please. I been washing twice a day with great results but don't want you overdo it. Help:thanks
Evening is simple, two possible options:
1) evening shower = oil, wait 3-5 minutes, butter
2) no evening shower = rinse beard in sink butter (not to the skin)
This might be too analytical for some, but I’ve been into photography for a long time now, and I remember my photography teacher in college (when I first getting the bug) say that to be a great photographer today(this was in 2005 btw lol) , the learning curve has drastically decreased, you can take a photo and nearly instantly review it and see what areas you want to fix or what worked and what didn’t. So you take another photo, and another and another. When he learned, he had to go through a whole role of film, develop it, and look at it then to see how he did. And you wouldn’t just blow through a roll of film usually to see one photo. So by the time you got to put a new roll in and start again you might not even remember exactly what it was that you needed to change, so the whole process of taking a photo and learning was a very slow process, and it would happen over the course of time, unlike the way photography is today.
The beard to me is similar in the respect that at least for most of us and I mean if we care about the health of the beard, is a once a day (maybe twice on a rare occasion) session of styling and seeing what worked and what didn’t. You have to wait until tomorrow to try again. You don’t really, wash, dry, oil, blow dry, ect and then go “ok I’m gonna shower and try again right now. “ and do that over and over and over in the same hour. It doesn’t work that way. It’s something you get once a day. If that usually. So training your beard or your muscle memory is something that will slowly develop (pun). It just takes time and patience. It’s a long game. The beard is like the old school way of learning photography, you do it once, see what happens and come back the next time. Thank you Dan for all the content!
Love the analogies and agree with them!
Hi Dan, quick one for you, I do my daily routine, morning and night, but sometimes I finish work around 15:30-17:00, when I get home I have a shower, what should I do? Do I do my night time routine and done? do I do it twice? Or should I wait until bed time?
Night routine after the work shower 🤝
@@DanCBearded thanks
What was the round brush brand? I couldn't find anything looking it up. Thanks.
Heh Brandon! It’s from Volt = tinyurl.com/m4futa56
* DANC20 = 20% off
Why don't you cold shot it after the heated brush?
I believe I mentioned in the video that you can, but I just feel I don’t need that extra step for myself
@@DanCBearded Ahh, I think you did! Thanks
Just to clarify, you use the heated brush every day? Aberlite recommends only 2-3 times a week, so i was curious. Because I'd lovetor use the one i just bought every day without worry.
Every single day, yup!
Probably answered already, what brand is the heated brush?
Babyliss 🤝
What are your thoughts regarding balm and wax?
Great options if you are looking for styling/hold. I don’t personally like them or need them, but many do
Ok, I feel somewhat validated now as this is almost exactly what I do. It's good to know I'm doing it correctly. Quick question though...I noticed you pulled a few strands out of your comb/brush every once in a while. On average, how many hairs do you pull out of your comb/brush, etc. and how many would be too many?
When grooming probably 5-10 hairs are noticeable. In average throughout the day most people are going to lose 30-50 from shedding. If it has a white bulb at the end (regardless of beard hair color) it’s healthy shedding
Beard oil or beard serum which one is best?
Please reply😊
Beard oil 🤝
@DanCBearded do you plan on doing a new night time routine
No, just because it’s so simple. If I shower: oil, wait 3-5 minutes, butter. If I do not shower: get beard damp, apply oil
I remember just watching one of your videos and you said if you don’t shower at night you just do butter
not sponsored ... carbon fiber comb lol ... max verstappen in the house LOL ... all jks aside, enjoyed this video very much!
Thanks man!
Okay Dan, I know you normally don't use beard butter in the morning but, IF you were going to for some special reason, at what point during your morning beard routine would you add the butter and how would you do so?
I would say after heat/cold shot. When I use butter or balm, it's always the last thing I do, followed by a comb to evenly spread the product and finalize style. Maybe it's different if you use a cold shot(I don't so I'm not sure).
It would be the final step 🤝
Hello🎉🎉🎉 any discount codes on that Cold Brush ❄️🥶 in your video or even cheapo version? Thx👍
I do not, sorry!
@@DanCBearded I love cold over the heat and seeing this ice cold brush for first time in your video was amazing and now I want one! Thx for all you do! And again, I'm sure u hear this often but dang your beard is fabulous!
@CandaceBaziglia I do have a full video on the cold brush if you want to learn more!
@@DanCBearded yes! I will be watching it later. Your channel is a remarkable tool for all things beard related! I have a lot of catching up to do before I introduce my BF and pretend I know more about his beard health then him 😂😂😂😂
@CandaceBaziglia I love it lol
Great video on how to look after sexy beard
Thanks!
