    Touching my beard is definitely what I do the most! I didn't realize I was causing split ends... I had heard you saying that before, but I thought I heard wrong.
    About washing the beard, there have been studies that have proven that beards do have some type of bacteria. It doesn't make you sick, but it's dirty. Now, I am the type of guy who washes his beard on a daily basis. I do avoid applying shampoo on it every day (same with my hair, too.) When I do, I apply Head & Shoulders Hair Endurance. I will consider getting a beard wash.
    Lastly, how often do you recommend trimming? What I hate about it is that I love my beard at its thickest, and when I trim, I eliminate that.

    • @Beardbrand
      @Beardbrand  9 років тому +1

      That poop article was proven to not be a science based article and came down to people washing their hands.
      I recommend trimming over the course of a few days and only take a little bit off. To maintain length, do it once every 1.5 months and if you are growing long, only trim once every 4 to 6 months. I've done a couple of trimming videos.

    • @Beardbrand

  • @videosmister
    @videosmister 8 років тому +2

    It IS chalenging! I stroke my beard a lot, but one thing I should stop right now is the picking at this specific point right at the corner of the mouth where mustache and beard join together... feels very good, but every now and then a hair falls or breaks when I get too intense with it (hate it when that happens).

    • @Beardbrand
      @Beardbrand  8 років тому

      +Vinicius Maciel Yeah, habits like that are tough to break, but just be diligent and try to avoid picking at that area. Your beard will thank you!

    @TubaBuddha 8 років тому

    I use Jason Tea Tree Oil ( I add extra Tea Tree) Body Wash & Burt's Bee's Pomegranate Conditioner to clean and soften my beard. I then use your beard oil mixed with another I have. About 3 times a week. With almost daily beard oil treatment besides. So I think I am OK on having a safe cleaning regimen. I am working on better foods most of the time (mostly organic) & I juice 5 times a week. I am avoiding Soy Products. And the weight lifting & walking will begin after I loose another 15 pounds. AND I am only 4 1/2 months in on the beard. At a year I will have the beard trimmed for the first time. We'll see how evenly filled in it actually becomes.

    What about beard washing with neutral soap? I have a good experience with those in terms of clean beard (I do smoke). Also, living in Brazil with the weather and humidity, it helps with it. Than i use beard butter, and oils.

    • @Beardbrand
      @Beardbrand  9 років тому +1

      ***** Whatever works best for you always takes precedence. The properties of some neutral soaps cause extensive drying, so thats definitely something to look out for, but I'm assuming your beard butter & oil regimen help counteract that.

    I know I’m late to this video but I have a question to ask if you don’t mind Eric ?
    I have a bad habit of “rubbing” my palm across my face to feel the stubbles a lot usually as I’m trying grow a longer beard.
    I’ve noticed that sometimes as my beard grows out longer my soul patch seems to have less coverage with some beards I grow … it’s one of the main part of my beard that I constantly rub ( almost automatically) during the stubble phase.
    Other beards I’ve grown out before as I analyze them in pictures …the soul patch looks very evenly distributed and thicker.
    I know it’s kind of a silly question …but Is it possible that I had been rubbing the stubble too much in that spot during that stage of growth? Normally I rub that area with my fingers when I’m thinking or reading ! lol 🤔

    Great topic, plucking is really my bad habit. But I've seen you using a blow dryer in your daily routine videos. Doesn't this ruin the hair too? And after all this damage done, is there a way to "heal" the beard, or is trimming the only solution?

    • @Beardbrand
      @Beardbrand  9 років тому

      Andrew Snow A hair dryer won't damage your beard if you use it properly. It's when you use it for too long and too hot that you start to encounter issues. But the only way to fix split ends is by trimming them off.

    Would the tea tree oil shampoo and conditioner that you can buy in salons be equally effective. Its all natural and no harmful additives. Also every morning when I comb my beard lots of hairs fall out but I'm very careful to not pull on the comb when it gets stuck. Any advice?

    • @halfstep67
      @halfstep67 9 років тому +1

      Jesse S Eric sells some great products so see if there is anything that you may like. For beard cleaning, use a good hand made soap. I use grandpa's pine tar soap and it works great. It doesn't strip away the natural oils. Also use a good beard oil or beard balm and apply to a damp beard after a shower. A great beard brush is the LUXOR PRO "WET" BRUSH FOR MEN. It is a very gentle brush and inexpensive. It's the best brush I have ever used and I have tried quite a few.Beard oil vs. beard balm. Oils work well but if you have any length to your beard, I prefer a beard balm. A balm usually has some bees wax and that helps to cling to the hairs better. Oils work great as well but doesn't seem to last as long as the balm does.

    After having a lengthy beard for more than two years I destroyed it by trimming only. I cut it down to about Eric's length and I regret it. I have had my beard now 3 years and would never think of getting rid of it, but the short beard look is not really me.

    Bearbrand what do you do about knots on hairs, sometimes feel that my hairs has knots in them.

    • @Beardbrand
      @Beardbrand  9 років тому

      +The Puppeteer 777 Have you tried gently combing while your beard is still wet after a shower? Personally, I'll towel dry my beard and while it's still damp I'll comb out any knots, then when it dries I'll use a bristle brush to get the rest of the knots out and brush it into place. Here's a video that might help too: ua-cam.com/video/LHwHib3VzGA/v-deo.html Beard on!

    hey beardbrand. i have a bad habit of pulling my beard hairs out and its definitely short in the middle and longs on the sides. it looks disgusting. im trying my best to stop. i notice a litte bit lighter color beard strands coming from the middle of my beard (where i used to pluck alot) some of them are almost white. im only 20 and have black hair. do you think plucking beard hairs can possibly make them turn white at such a young age. please reply I'm desperate to stop this bad habit. Thank you!

    Okay, I have a question about the shampoo and conditioner for the beard. I typically use AXE thickening shampoo or an axe shampoo/conditioner. Would these qualify as abrasive to a beard?
    Also, I recently purchased and began using beard conditioning oil. Should conditioning oil replace using conditioner in the shower?

    • @theULTIMATEanswer42
      @theULTIMATEanswer42 8 років тому

      you should use a natural shampoo like pine tar or Dr broners (sp?), most commercial shampoos strip far too many of the natural oils that protect your beard.

    Would baby shampoo be good for your beard if you have no beard wash?

    • @Beardbrand
      @Beardbrand  9 років тому +1

      Eddie Howell Baby shampoo is milder than traditional shampoos, and not as damaging. It's okay as an occasional substitute when you're between bottles of Beard Wash.

    One quick question, I try not to stroke
    My beard too much. I hardly do... But I've noticed from time to time some beard hairs are laying on my bed or just random places where I'm at. I use no shampoo on my beard since chemicals aren't no good... But I do use a paste made of oils and vitamins (made for the scalp) and I still see that? Is it normal ?

    • @Beardbrand

    Picking at my beard is the best in the world but the worst habit there is. It's really hard for me to stop playing with my beard.

    • @Beardbrand
      @Beardbrand  8 років тому +1

      +Luis Camarillo Yeah, I hear ya. Have you tried the old rubber band trick? Put a rubber band around your wrist, and every time you reach to pick at your beard, snap the rubber band to give yourself a sting. After a while you'll give yourself a bit of a Pavlovian response, and when you reach to touch your beard you'll remember the rubber band and stop yourself. Give that a try!

    • @Beardbrand
      @Beardbrand  9 років тому

      I do. I keep a comb handy as combing is better than plucking. Also it's really about keeping those idol hands occupied stress balls can help. I focus on removing rogue hairs so it's not too bad for me when it comes to patches.

Anyway my question is will the hair from that patch grow back? Its been about a month and it's looking a tad bit better but im not sure if its just the other hairs growing longer and being able to sorta brush over thee patch

    • @Beardbrand
      @Beardbrand  8 років тому

      It should grow back. Give it time and of course try not to pick it any more.

    • @Beardbrand

      zion. It's hard to say, exactly. 16's really early for a lot of guys to get a full beard so you're definitely going to have to give it some time and patience. It'll get there.
