    Coming from someone who is very inconsistent drinking water, it's super accurate. When I pay attention to my water intake my beard feels exponentially better. On the occasions where my beard isn't feeling it's best I will definitely add some oil or butter for a boost. Another great video, Dan. Thank you!

    I get that some people hate the idea of butter during the day, but the liquid summer butter (Ruddy Man) changes this for me as its basically so far as i can tell a hybrid, and importantly doesn't at least for me cause excess glossiness or stiffness. They call it Summer butter but i just call it Day Butter, that with whatever good oil i like underneath has left me the happiest with my beard ever.

    Excellent! For oil, I like a guideline of 2-3 drops from stubble to an inch, and 2-3 drops per inch thereafter. I’m aware of a “standard 20 drops per mL (or dropper)”, but I don’t get a consistent amount from dropper tops I’ve used. A mid-day routine may not be every day, but should be kept in mind for weather changes.

  • @jumpmaster_edc664

    As always just great information. I know I routinely don’t drink enough water and really need to focus on my water intake. I always notice the more water I drink the better my stache feels and those days when I’m extra dehydrated the more dry and brittle it feels.

  • @akustaka

    I used to have a midday routine, but I have upped my water intake over the last year and I've noticed a huge difference in how soft my beard stays all day, and I experience the midday thing much less now. I went from just a few glasses a day (and a Lot of soda) to about 3 quarts a day of just water. I live in the Vegas desert and I promise, more water makes a big difference. Something else I can tell you from experience.... If your body is telling you that you're thirsty, you are already dehydrated.

    I don't have a big beard, but I am a full dropper + 2-3 drops at least. If it's a thicker oil... I go slightly less. The key to fighting the midday brittle is, without a doubt, hydration. Now lately I haven't been good at drinking alot, but ensuring I drink 3-4 glasses + your coffees or sodas, protein drinks should be fun. Yes it sucks to have to go to the bathroom alot, but that's a good thing. Invest in one of those BPA Free containers or tumblers like Dan and get to sipping. Also a nice light balm helps but keep it simple... use your beard oil... drink your water... your skin likes it.

    Great video Dan! My beard typically doesn’t feel dry or brittle, as long as I go with the proper style to accommodate the weather. Low humidity/dew point, great feel and appearance. If I straighten it on a humid day, then it will feel dry and off point almost immediately. If I just pick it out and rock it curly, no issues. I watch weather apps every morning to determine my look for the day to where I won’t regret my choice and ruin my day. But I’ve never felt a need to add oil midday. I have, however, craved my butter nightly routine. Just so satisfying! As far as oil in the morning, I use a dropper and a half for my thick mane. Lasts all day long!

    I love the quality and nourishment of Honest Amish premium beard oil combined with the heavy duty balm during my workweek. I use the real 'smell great' stuff on the weekends; Artius Man, Detroit Grooming, Mad Viking, Beard Brothas, etc. and what I love most about my workweek routine for hydration maintenance is the dropper in the Honest Amish oil bottle! It fills completely with a single squeeze giving me the perfect amount to get it into my skin under my beard and throughout the hairs giving me a lasting softness that makes it comfortable to wear. I like that bottle and dropper so much that I put other products in the empty ones after I'm finished with the Honest Amish! I drink a lot of water too! Again great video Dan!

    Great info Dan! I can always tell when I haven't been exfoliating enough, when my skin gets a little itchy or irritated part way through the day. Amazing how much we can learn about our skin and hair, when we start paying better attention to it. Also, jacking my water intake way up has been great all around. I probably drink a little too much, but I am already supposed to reduce my salt intake due to blood pressure, so I think a little extra water is fine. I am on average at minimum 1 gallon a day, to around 1.25 gallon. This is a bit over 1 oz per pound of weight, but I don't think it's overkill.

    So ive got a decently long beard,i work outside in an incredibly dusty sandy environment. add that to the sun snow and mud and whatever else. By mid day because of the wind and the dirt my beard is dry brittle and instead of flowing and long it's very dense dirty and doesn't move. i wash,condition, oil and beard butter then dry and style my beard every day. my gf says it's too much and i can still shower and rinse my beard but not to wash daily but she doesn't see my work environment and that feels gross to me. also your suggestion of a mid day touch up doesn't seem feasible for my situation, I'm thinking that adding oil or butter to my beard in that environment is going to have kind of a sticky fly trap affect on my beard and ill have more sand and dirt than i started with.

    Hey!
    I have short beard And same hair beard type as yours. What shampoo and conditioner should I use? Probably need one that’s NOT thick I guess cause I have short beard.
    Thank you
