Top 16 Beard Care and Maintenance Tips
20 years or so back, beard grooming and beard care wasn't a thing. I mean most of us just didn't care about our beards. In fact. most of us didn't even think about it at the time. I mean you wash your hair, and brush your teeth and wash your face, but the beard......!?
I remember being a young lad and seeing my dad with a massive beard. He let it grow wild, I mean he would occasionally stick a comb in there and try an hack away at it from time to time, but all in all, he just let his beard grow and sat back.

What is [Beard Oil] and How Do You Use it
If you've read any of my articles, you would know that I mention beard oil in almost every article I write. There is a simple reason for this. Beard Oil is essentially the single most important thing for the best-looking beard you can ever achieve. It's easy to think that you can grow your beard for 6 months, sit back and enjoy the riches that should follow - Fellow men will look at you with envy, while women will drop at your feet.
Reality check! This isn't gonna happen.
Unless you're really lucky and your beard hair grows like a Greek God, then you're gonna be stuck in the same boat as the rest of us. A beard that's looking wild, damaged, and basically like someone has mopped the floor with your face and left you to dry in the cupboard under the stairs.

Anyone that has attempted to grow a beard would have experienced some kind of itchiness, normally in the earlier stages of their beard growing journey. If you find that you're getting continues itching after the first 2 months, then it could be another issue that isn't related to what I like to call the 'beard teathing stage'.
