There are many men who have been encouraged, in recent years, to wear a beard. Although it is true that the beard has been present throughout antiquity, it is currently experiencing a growing fashion that has made many people decide to integrate it into their aesthetics. It is not for less; Different studies show that men with beards convey a greater sense of power, attraction and personality.

However, when we decide to let our beard grow, we must know some of its basic characteristics in order to give it optimal care and thus benefit from all the advantages it can offer us.

Society, on many occasions, transmits messages to us that may not be real about the beard. In the same way, certain habits are created around it that, instead of favoring its growth and its appearance, can make it difficult. It is really important to know the bad habits that we carry out daily regarding our facial hair, in order to stop doing them and improve the health (and aesthetics) of our skin.

Next, we offer you some of the most established bad habits that weaken your beard , with the aim of being able to improve them. Take note and get to work.

Bad habits that weaken your beard

1-Not offering basic hygiene and hydration care

Our hygiene is important, this is nothing new. We know it, and for this reason, we carry out regular and routine hygiene of our entire body. Sometimes, we forget that the beard is part of it, even though it is an element that can get dirty very easily. Therefore, it is important to wash it routinely and with the right products.

It is recommended to wash the beard about 2 or 3 times a week. We can take advantage of some of our showers for it, or wash it separately. For this, it is highly recommended to use specific products for washing. At Burnt Whiskey Beard Co, we can buy special shampoos and soaps for this type of hair, as well as other products specially designed for hydration and other care.

However, washing is not the only step to take care of it. Hydration is a very important step, since most of the problems that we can suffer because of the beard, have their origin in a deficient hydration. It is important to apply oils after washing, so that our hair and our skin receive the necessary moisturizing contribution. After Shaves and other lotions are specific products, through which we can achieve this good hydration.

2-Do not work your beard

We refer to not shaping it or not cutting it regularly. These habits allow you to achieve a neat and aesthetic beard; otherwise, we will wear a messy beard that will not give us a good image.

It is true that, in our first stage as bearded men, we may not know how to carry out a good outline or cut. To do this, we can try to learn in a self-taught way, through practice, or go to a barber who delimits his initial form, serving as a model to follow his steps in front of our bathroom mirror.

Currently we find a wide range of tools that we can use exclusively to work our beard, and that will give us a good result. The razors and razors, the classic razors, the blades and the brushes will allow us to practice a classic shave and care, much more bohemian and advantageous than others.

3-Not properly cleaning the tools

It is just as important to clean and work the beard, as it is to keep the tools in good condition. For this, it is essential to clean and dry them well once we finish using them, to prevent their materials from weakening.

In the same way, it is important to make good use of them, using them exclusively to work our beard and avoiding doing it for other uses. We must also store them in suitable places, away from extreme weather conditions and out of the reach of children.

4-Not using specific and/or quality products

As we have already seen, the beard needs a series of regular care; only then can we benefit from all its advantages. This care must be given with suitable products.

A product will be adequate when it fulfills two characteristics. The first one refers to specificity. Currently we find products specially designed for the care of our beard, as they contain suitable components for it. We should use these ones.

The second one refers to quality. It is very common to find apparently similar products on the market with large price differences. Although expensive is not always better, it is important to know how to determine when a price is lowered at the cost of lowering its quality. In this sense, it is advisable to acquire products that contain, at least, a mid-range, whose prices are quite affordable.

The ideal is to have our own kit of tools and products specially designed for beard care, so that we can use it whenever we need it.

At Burnt Whiskey, we can acquire all the necessary products to take care of our beard, relying on the best brands on the market at affordable prices. Both to work our beard at home, and to equip our barbershop, we will find products with a very careful presentation and good quality. In this way, we will be able to offer our facial hair the care it needs, giving it the necessary health and preventing it from weakening.

Knowing the bad habits that weaken your beard, you can remedy them and show off the beard you want.
