    First term that comes up to me is “brittle beard”. Having that alliteration of BB makes it stick better and doesn’t reference a moisture term. Even though more syllables, maybe “bird’s nest beard” accomplishes a sense of feeling and still alliterates the B.

      Brittle might be the favorite so far

      ​@DanCBearded "brittle beard" would still create confusion. For example, as a Greek, I'm sure my beard texture is naturally more brittle/coiled than what a Western European would consider healthy.
      I would use the term "flakey beard", it clearly describes the symptoms of a beard in need of some TLC

    I’ve often thought of mine as “dry” when it has a “hay” like feeing. After watching vid makes better sense to me a dry beard would be itchy/flaky etc. best I could think would be a “rough” feeing vs soft and conditioned. Cheers!

    I feel the definition of "business beard" is a beard that is well kept and has purpose. Short or long it's what define the person and makes that person unique or different. I've went into work with no oils or balm an it was messy which if you have days where it's a little off, we are the only ones to notice everyone else may not say anything.

    I call it allergy beard. My fabulous face sweater always seems more brittle, more itchy, more "breakable" if that's a term when the pollen counts are high or when the cold north wind begins to blow. Just like folks don't understand that you can easily become more dehydrated in the winter, most can't comprehend that allergies can be a pain in the winter time also.

    I like your viewpoint on the ‘business beard’. Never subscribed to the theory that your personal preference, with regard to hair and/or beard length, had anything to do with being proficient or better at your business ability or success!!

    Great video Dan = only thing I can attribute to this subject is my water intake- I used to have a problem with the right front side of my beard being tough to comb through- but increased water intake solved it instantly- I also feel like the more water I drink through out my day allows my beard to become fuller and more crisp. Following beard routine- Butter at night-Beard wash daily in shower- get beard dry 85-90% - add oil - sit 3-5 minutes- blow dry and heat brush Sides and mustache- = Seasoned beard -better term. Appreciate all you do.Ty Dan.

    Hi Dan and thank you for yet another interesting and thoughtful video. I would lean more towards a term like fatigue. Cause I suffer from being burned out which we in Sweden call Fatigue Syndrome. When comparing the two situations with the beard being dry and being burned out I’d say the beard is maybe a little burned out thus you could say it’s a fatigue beard.
    Now to another matter and a slight problem as well. As I mentioned I live in Sweden and use only Swedish beard brands. Mostly cause they’re damn good but also cause it’s darn expensive shipping from the US (and that’s where most brands are at). Now to my problem. I use beard butter for my nightly routine and now the only company in Sweden that makes beard butter has taken a break due to personal issues. So now I need to find a new beard butter brand and preferably within the EU/EC as ordering from outside will add tax and extra fees from our postal service here in Sweden. Do you or any of the followers on here know of a beard brand or store that has beard butter among their inventory? Don’t think I need to add that I’m desperate for help but I did it anyway.

    Great video Dan! I didn't think of the more literal term of dry beard being just the absence of water. My mind jumps right to the brittle, itchy beard. Perhaps brittle beard would apply a little more closely? I can't really think of anything else, but will ponder it. Cheers Dan, being the trusted teacher as always! 👊🔥🍻
