Is beard oil necessary?
We’ve answered how beard oil works and why its ingredients are special, but is it all necessary? If you have or are intending to grow a beard, is this product needed? Well, no, you can grow a beard without it. However, a lot of beard growers not only have to deal with itch and beardruff, but they also like a hydrated beard, a softer beard, and a beard with no flyaway hairs. That’s why beard oil is so important.How to use and apply beard oil
It’s not rocket science, but we do have a few hacks for ‘expert level’ application. Beards are generally thicker and bushier than the hair on your head, and we want to make sure every follicle gets the love it needs.
We’re going to assume you’ve showered and applied a Beard and Face Wash prior to application. If this isn’t the case, do everyone a favor and turn on those shower taps.
Using the dropper on our beard oil, pour a few drops into your palm and rub your hands together, paying particular attention to getting the good stuff between your fingertips. Apply in an even manner to your beard, working in with care and massaging into every follicle. For a bonus point, we recommend using a beard brush to help spread the oil evenly and exfoliate your skin at the same time, win, win!
