LEARN HOW TO APPLY BEARD OIL WITH PATROL GROOMING'S GUIDE
Did you know?
Just like the hair on your head, your beard hair also requires maintenance and care. This is where beard oils come in handy. These nifty grooming products help reduce itching and dandruff, leaving the hair smooth, silky and neatly kept. By moisturising and conditioning the hairs, it also makes it even easier to style.
So, there are some things to keep in mind especially if you’re a beginner to beard oil or grooming in general. In this Academy article, Patrol Grooming guide teach you how to correctly apply beard oil in 4 easy steps.
Now, Let's see in detail.
How to apply beard oil for beginners.
1. Start with a clean beard
Your beard should be clean, towel-dried but still slightly damp from water or after a shower (but not too wet or the beard oil won’t stick). Begin by applying a few drops into the palm of your hand. We recommend around 3-6 drops, depending on the length of your beard. If you're a beginner, less is more and as you familiarise yourself with the process, you’ll eventually get a good idea of how much you need.
2. Apply to the skin first
Rub your hands together to spread the product evenly, then run them through the beard. First, you want to press the beard oil into the skin to ensure it moisturises the roots of your beard and the skin surrounding it.
3. Apply to the beard
Once you’ve applied to the roots and skin, start applying directly to the beard. Start with sides of the beard and work your way down by moving your hands in a downward swipe motion. Brush your hands down the front in the same downward swipe motion. Then brush your hands upwards from the neck to get the bottom of the beard too.
4. Finish with a comb
If you have a moustache, use your pointer fingers and swipe them down the front a few times. To finish, use a comb to continue evenly distributing the product across the beard until soft and conditioned.
