Keep it away from scissors when you begin.

The first thing is to be patient. A beard is not really easy to grow. You may feel itchy and may decide to give up, but stay strong. Once it gets to your desired length, you can trim it to the style you like. During this time, hair may not grow evenly or in the same direction, but the bread gets thick enough to get styled evenly after some time.

Wash it till you rock it.

Never ignore the need for proper washing of your bread. Just a quick splash of water at the start of the day is not enough. Wash it thoroughly and make sure that water reaches under your bread hair and your skin underneath gets cleaned too. Comb it dry. The entire cleaning process will help you maintain it by keeping the stubborn hair in one direction.

Give your beard a regular trim.

Give a trim to your beard almost after a couple of months. Just Like scalp hairs, you may experience split ends with your beard hairs too. Remove these split ends to keep your beard in shape and healthy. Also, not all beard hair grows at the same speed or in the same direction. Trim the longer hair to keep your beard in shape.

Also, use appropriate tools for beard trimming. A trimmer is ideal for a shorter beard, but scissors prove best for longer and thick beards.

Use oils and shampoos

Since more and more men are becoming fashion conscious, they are spending more money on skincare products. So a line of special beard shampoos and other related products are available now because you cannot use the same hair shampoo on your scalp and beard!

Your beard has unique needs. So get yourself a good brand of beard shampoo, oils, and balms. Use these grooming products according to your skin type. These products deeply moisturize your skin and beard and tame your beard to your liking. The specially made oils help nourish the hairs and keep the skin underneath to stay clean and dandruff-free.

Once the beard grows as you wish, you can also experiment with it. Try out different lengths and styles that suit you most. Style it to complement your face shape. Along with all these maintenance tips, take a balanced diet. Drink plenty of water. Also, add lots of fresh vegetables and fruits to your diet. In short, all things that are important for skin and hair care. Be groomed to keep the title tall, dark, and handsome.
