For many men, beard wax is an essential part of their beard care routine. But when exactly do you need beard wax and what is it good for? We show you the benefits of the product for you and your beard and how to use it properly.
What are the benefits of using beard wax?
With beard wax, you style your beard and keep it perfectly shaped. Your beard style stays in place throughout the day, looks well-groomed, and doesn't become tousled.
At the same time, the product contains plenty of nourishing components thanks to its high-quality oils, which moisturize the beard hair, making it
- shiny,
- rich,
- and beautiful.
Especially for those with unruly beards or curly beard hair, investing in beard wax to tame the beard is worthwhile. Stray beard hairs have no chance against beard wax.
Are certain types of beard wax better for certain beard types?
The best beard wax for you depends on both the product's ingredients and your personal preferences and beard styles. If you use beard wax to shape your full beard, the main goal is to make the beard hair look well-groomed and to give the beard itself hold.
It should not look tousled or messy and should maintain its well-groomed shape throughout the day. Here, a softer beard wax with a higher proportion of high-quality care oils is particularly suitable, as it makes the beard hair heavier and gives it a shiny appearance.
If you use the beard wax for a moustache and perhaps want to twist it or shape it in a more extravagant way, you should choose a beard wax with particularly strong hold. All hard beard waxes are ideal for this.
How often should I apply beard wax and how much should I use?
The application of beard wax is simple.
- Warm your hands under warm water or by rubbing them together.
- Then take a small amount from the jar with your index finger and rub it in your hands until the wax becomes soft to liquid.
- Now you can apply the beard wax and style your beard as desired.
Expert Tip: Before using the beard wax, make sure your hands are clean to avoid spreading bacteria and dirt into the jar with the product.
You can use beard wax daily if you want to style your beard every morning. A small amount is enough to achieve the desired hold.
When buying beard wax, make sure it is free of parabens. Cheaper products often contain undesirable additives. High-quality ingredients are the main criterion for a good beard wax.

Are there specific ingredients I should avoid in beard wax to prevent skin irritation?
The ingredients of beard wax should always be of natural origin. Parabens or other artificial ingredients have no place in it. A beard wax consists solely of these components:
- Carrier oils,
- wax/beeswax/resin,
- and essential oils or perfumes.
For carrier oils, make sure they have nourishing properties. We use only
- shea butter,
- argan oil,
- and almond oil for our Störtebekker beard wax.
Can I use beard wax for other purposes, such as styling hair or moustaches?
Beard wax, as its name suggests, is purely for shaping beards.Moustaches or moustaches are naturally included. For your head hair, you should use other styling products specifically designed for that purpose.
Remember that beard hair and head hair have different textures and therefore require different products for care and styling. Your head hair is much softer and thinner than your beard hair.
How do I remove beard wax from my beard if I no longer want to use it?
If you want to remove the beard wax from your beard, you can simply brush it out. Ideally, use a beard brush and brush the remaining wax out of the hair.
If you want to clean your beard more thoroughly, you should wash it with a beard shampoo.
Are beard oils or other beard care products necessary to keep my beard healthy if I use beard wax regularly?
The question “beard oil or beard wax” does not arise for us. We would use both as a rule.
- Beard oil is essential for well-groomed beard hair and also for the facial skin underneath the beard. It penetrates the skin, providing moisture and care.
- Due to its harder consistency, beard wax does not penetrate the skin but is intended for styling.
Beard oil is not an alternative to beard wax - it serves purely for care and smoothness. Additionally, it is an essential part of any beard care routine.
Conclusion
Beard wax is the perfect styling product if you want to shape your beard hair and avoid a tousled look. It does not replace classic beard care, which we absolutely recommend for every beard wearer.
We personally do not want to do without it and always have good beard wax in the cupboard.
