Fashion for a beard came to Our Country a few years ago. And along with it, the demand for the services of barbers, professional hairdressers for the men’s room, has grown. Hardware stores were flooded with trimmers, shavers and razors for home care. Cosmetic shops sell shampoos and oils for facial hair. At first, the price tag for products was high – they were brought from abroad. But noticing the growing interest of buyers, democratic manufacturers pulled themselves up and presented their lines. Healthy Food Near Me talked to expert barbers to draw up step-by-step instructions for caring for a beard at home.
How to take care of your beard at home
Before giving the word to the pros, I want to put in my five cents. The main advice from the KP correspondent, who for several years tried to wear different types of beards and mustaches, is to monitor and care for your hair. An untidy beard is not cool at all.
The form must be constantly modeled. Everyone has a different rate of hair growth. According to personal observations, two weeks is the minimum period after which it would be nice to make a correction. In extreme cases, you can stretch a month. Then you should gather your strength and conduct modeling at home or go to the barbershop. Let’s move on to the instructions.
wash your beard
– It is best to wash your beard every time you take a shower. For washing, it is recommended to use specialized shampoos or soap for the beard. Since the pH level (acid-base balance – ed.) on the face is different from the pH level on the head, – says teacher at the international company American Crew, haircut trainer Dmitry Chizhov.
Dry with hair dryer
Once you wash your beard, dry it with warm air and a round comb. So she will stick out less in different directions and curl.
Walk the car
– To trim your beard at home, you will need a trimmer that has several attachments. There are a huge number of home trimmers and machines for every taste, color and budget. My advice: remove hair from the temple downwards, gradually changing the nozzles to increase. Try to be careful and start with large nozzles so as not to remove too much, – says Dmitry Chizhov.
Apply oil
Barber in the barbershop “Razor” Astemir Atlaskirov recommends applying Lock Stock oil first. Wait and add the “Appercut” balm. These are quite expensive products – for both tubes about 4000 rubles. Therefore, choose a tool that will be affordable.
From personal experience, I note that foreign cosmetics of specialized brands are really the best. She has a pleasant smell and she perfectly tames facial hair. But not everyone is ready to lay out a decent amount.
Two tips. When going to the barbershop, remember what product the hairdresser used. Then look for its name and price on the Internet. Guaranteed to save 300-500 rubles than when buying in a salon or cosmetic.
The second life hack is to go to a large cosmetic store and look for products from more popular brands. For example, it is realistic to buy a normal beard oil for 500 rubles (30 ml), while a product for barbershops will cost at least twice as much.
– My advice: do not use beard oils, but balms. They tend to be absorbed and have a light fixation. Therefore, the beard will not be fluffy, but will keep its shape all day long. And due to the care components, the beard will be soft, and the skin under it will be moisturized, – says Dmitry Chizhov.
