The cream is the next step that is very important for achieving and maintaining a healthy and smooth beard. Most people tend to jump steps and apply cremes and conditioners on the dry beard, which is not bad, it is just ineffective. If you do not water your beard the effect of smoothness and moisture will dissipate after a few hours and you will instantly get what you had in the beginning.

The third and another indispensable step is oil application to your beard. Oil application will aid you with smoothing the hair cuticles, it will nourish your beard and provide you with a bit more slippage so you can comb your beard more easily, without creating all that bad static we already mentioned.

Oil also plays a role in nourishing the skin beneath the beard, because in this entire process you can’t forget about your skin. Skin is where everything starts and oil will feed it, it will slow shedding, breakage and minimize split ends. All of this when applied properly and in conjunction with each other will allow you to reach the optimal values and results you are aiming for. There is a timeline that needs to be honoured here and if you have a rough beard with dryness issues you will probably need to do this sometime in the morning or evening and once during the day just as a freshen up moment.

Before we finish, we also want to mention some other things that may help here and that are not tied to particular products and those are things like trimming your beard, daily washes, combing and/or brushing.

The last thing is brushing and combing your beard. This should be done whenever you applied those products to distribute them accordingly and as deeply as possible. You will help it work better and start its process as fast as possible. This is also a good time to check your beard for any hair deficiencies stiff hairs, tangled once or stubborn once that are not easily brought back to their place while combing or brushing. Apply more if needed on those spot checks and wait for the best possible results.
