Softening your Beard: 4 Tips for pleasantly soft Beard Hair

Soft beard hair makes the beard look more groomed because it doesn't stand up brittle and frizzy in all directions.

But not only that - soft beard hair scratches and itches less. Hard beard hair is not a disposition that you just have to accept. In this post, we explain step by step how you can make your beard softer.

 

 

4 Tips to Make Your Beard Soft

As is often the case, when it comes to making the beard soft, it's about the right care with suitable beard products. Without them, nothing works in terms of a "beautiful beard".

At Störtebekker, we sat down and put together a set for you. With it, you have all the products you need for a soft, well-groomed beard. Click on the button in the picture and see for yourself.

Beard Shampoo for a Soft Beard

It really pays off to use a special beard shampoo, as it makes the hair soft, cares for it, and does not affect the sebum production of the facial skin. A regular shampoo does that already.

It also makes the beard hair brittle. 

Beard Conditioner for a Soft Beard

You apply the beard conditioner after washing. It not only makes the beard hair softer but also provides it with moisture.

In addition, it protects your beard from split ends and environmental influences. 

Expert tip: Alternatively, you can also use a beard treatment instead of a conditioner. 

Beard Oil Makes the Beard Soft

Beard oil is a must when it comes to a soft beard. It moisturizes your facial hair and smoothes the structure. Beard oil also prevents the skin underneath from itching, becoming irritated, and drying out.

Use a Beard Brush

Using a beard brush should also be part of your daily care routine. We recommend our in-house model (available in the Störtebekker online shop). We use the brush ourselves and are convinced of it.

It ensures that both the natural oil of the skin and the moisture contained in the beard oil are evenly distributed in the beard hair.

This results in a well-groomed appearance and ensures a uniform shine. 

Make Your Beard Soft in Three Steps: Here's How

Once you have all your care utensils together, you can get started. Ideally in three steps: 

Step 1: Washing

Washing the beard should be a daily ritual. For one or two days, it's enough to do it with clear water, two to three times you should do it.

This removes dead skin particles, which would otherwise become noticeable as dandruff in the beard and make your skin dry and itchy.

It is best to apply the conditioner after the actual wash, let it work for a short time, and rinse it out well.

Then gently dry the beard with a towel or blow-dry it at low temperature (to protect the facial skin). The more careful you handle the beard, the better for the individual hairs.

Step 2: Oil or Balm

Then it's time for beard oil or beard balm. Rub the product in your hands, distribute and warm it up, and then slowly massage it into the beard. A very small amount is enough. Also include the skin underneath, as it also needs care.

After washing the beard, you should always use balm or oil. We even recommend doing the procedure twice a day for an optimally groomed result.

Here again is your super set for optimal beard care.

It is also worth just scrolling through the shop and checking out the beard products as well as the shaving products.

Step 3: Time for the Beard Brush

Next comes the beard brush.

Similar to oil or balm: Always brush directly after the washing and care procedure, as this helps distribute the oil or beard balm even better in the beard and allows the product to work thoroughly.

It is also advisable to repeat the process twice a day. The brushing stimulates the sebaceous gland production of the skin and.

The sebum is distributed evenly in the hair, just like the oil, and provides additional care.

Can You Make a 3-Day Beard Soft?

It is somewhat more challenging than with a longer beard if you want to make your 3-day beard soft. Softening beard stubble is a small challenge, as it is naturally rather stubborn.

But it is worth taking on the same care routine as with a full beard.

Because the drier your beard stubble is, the more your skin itches, and the risk of irritation and redness is higher.

Therefore, always use nourishing beard oil for short beard hair. If that’s not enough, there are special beard softeners.

These Home Remedies Make Your Beard Soft

Before you empty the drugstore, you can also make your beard hair soft with home remedies.

Here are the most effective:

• Coconut Oil: It is particularly heavy and nourishing and gives your beard a beautiful shine and a really pleasant scent.
  
  Thanks to its consistency, it also adds some stability to the beard hair.
  
  
• Olive Oil: Olive oil absorbs quickly into the skin and is very nourishing.
  
  It makes your beard nice and soft - although it has its specific scent, which you have to like.
  
  
• Vitamins: Care happens not only externally but also internally.
  
  A good, vitamin-rich and balanced diet makes your beard hair healthier and shinier!
  
  
• Honey: You can use it as an additive for beard care products. Just mix a small amount into your regular care products; it helps skin and hair retain moisture better.

Conclusion

Beard care is worth it. But try to touch your beard as little as possible outside of the care ritual.

Those who constantly fiddle with or twist it damage the hair structure, deprive the skin and hair of sebum, and also rub dirt in. It’s not worth it. Be sure to read the article on "optimal beard care".
