Post beard barber - at home beard maintenance tips
Here are the most important beard maintenance tips that you can complete at home:
- Wash your beard
- Comb your beard
- Groom stray hairs with scissors, not clippers
- Use clippers or a razor on your neck and cheek lines
- Nourish your beard
Wash your beard
Wash your beard as often as you wash your hair. If you have a short beard that might mean light scrubbing with some body wash.
If you have a long beard, you'll want to use something a little stronger and more tailored to a deep clean. A specially formulated beard shampoo will do the trick.
Comb your beard
If you have a short beard you won't need to worry about combing it but for guys with a medium or long beard - don't skip this tip.
Combing your beard will prevent your facial hair from getting knotty or tangled. It will also give your skin a chance to breathe.

Groom stray hairs with scissors, not clippers
Your facial hair will grow at different speeds in different areas. For any rogue hairs, take some scissors to them.
If you use clippers you might over-groom a small problem and create a larger one for yourself.
Use clippers or a razor on your neck and cheek lines
Make sure to keep your neckline and cheek lines tight. For this, you want to use clippers or a razor.
This step is best left to the professionals but I know a few advanced beardsmen who use a straight razor at home.
Nourish your beard
Nourish your beard after every shower with some beard oil. It will keep your beard moisturized, looking great and smelling better.
For some structure, try a beard balm. It has more hold than beard oil and great for sculpting different beard styles.
