If you have a long beard, chances are you’ve looked for ways to groom it without shaving it off. Beard oil is a product designed by people who love beards and want them to look their best, and it does just that. Beard oil softens and conditions your beard and, like shampoo for your hair, goes a long way toward keeping the hairs easy to take care of. You can even find a scented beard oil that will give your facial hair a pleasant smell and keep it looking strong and healthy.
Here are four tips on how you can use oil to improve your beard if you have long whiskers:
1. Apply after washing your hands
When you use soap or shampoo to wash away dirt and sweat, it can dry out the hair. Though you might be tempted to leave your beard alone until next time, this can make it more difficult for oil to soak in effectively. So before applying any Arluka oil (or whatever your preferred oil is), first make sure your hands are clean, so you don’t transfer the dirt to the hair you are trying to take care of.
2. Apply when hair is wet or damp
If you have just taken a shower, let your beard stay wet or damp before adding Bossman Brand oil. This will allow it to soak into the hairs better than if the hairs were dry. If this isn’t possible, combing your whiskers downward with the tips of your fingers can help to flatten them out, so oil is more effective.
3. Put a few drops in the palm of your hand
Beard oil comes in small vials or bottles that are easy to use, but you should take care not to pour too much into your palm at once. If there isn’t enough oil, it won’t be evenly distributed throughout the beard. On the other hand, if there is too much, it will take longer to soak in, or worse, you might feel greasy until the oil dries.
4. Work the oil into your whiskers
After getting only a few drops’ worth of oil onto your palms, rub them together to spread it out, and then apply it to your beard. You can use a comb as you usually would if you want, but the best step is to use the tips of your fingers to press down on the beard and lightly massage it in. Doing so will spread out any oil that is too concentrated while working in some essential nutrients.
Anyone with long whiskers should be mindful of beard care
Anyone with a long beard knows how difficult it can be to keep the hair healthy. Luckily, oil is an effective solution that keeps facial hair manageable and looking its best. Just remember these four tips when using oil on your whiskers, and you can add a new grooming product that will improve the appearance of your beard.
As time goes on, you’ll learn what works best for your beard and hair type. There’s a good chance that you’ll find other ways to apply oil that work better for your facial hairstyle than the tips we’ve provided, but it doesn’t hurt to start off with the best and take it from there!
