How to Take Care of Your Beard and Make It Look Its Best

Growing a beard is easy — keeping it looking sharp, soft, and healthy takes a little more effort. With the right routine and a few go-to products from Beauty Bar & Supply, you can elevate your beard game, reduce itch, and keep your facial hair looking totally on point.

1. Cleanse Regularly — but Gently

A clean beard is the foundation of a healthy beard. Dirt, sweat, food particles, and dead skin can build up under facial hair, making the skin dry and flaky if not washed off. Aim to wash your beard 2–3 times a week, or more often if you work out, live in a hot climate, or just feel like it’s getting grimy.

Beauty Bar & Supply’s lineup doesn’t include a specialized beard shampoo, so it’s smart to pair what you buy there with a dedicated beard wash from a trusted grooming brand. (See product ideas below.) On your wash days, be gentle: massage your wash into both the beard and the skin underneath, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry.

2. Condition & Hydrate

Once your beard is clean, it’s time to put moisture back into both your facial hair and the skin beneath it. Conditioning helps prevent dryness, itch, and “beardruff.”

Here’s where two great Beauty products come in:

• Uncle Jimmy Beard Oil – This lightweight oil is packed with sesame seed oil, sunflower oil, black seed oil, and other natural extracts to soften your beard, reduce flakes, and add a polished sheen. 

• Uncle Jimmy Beard Gro Balm – This low-hold balm gives extra moisture, tames unruly hairs, and includes beneficial ingredients like shea butter, biotin, and bamboo to soothe skin and even support beard thickness.

• Uncle Jimmy Beard Softner Conditioning Balm – For coarse or brittle beard hair, this balm’s blend of black seed oil and honey helps soften and deeply condition, reducing roughness and improving manageability.

How to apply: After washing (or on non-wash days), put a few drops of beard oil into your palms, rub them together, and massage into the beard — be sure to work down to the skin. If you're using balm, scoop out a small amount, warm it in your hands, then smooth through the beard from the base to the tips.

3. Detangle, Shape & Train

A comb or brush is key to distributing product evenly through your beard, helping you detangle knots, and shaping your beard’s growth direction.

Beauty Bar & Supply offers:

• The Annie 2-in-1 Beard & Mustache Comb #49 — This comb has two sides with different tooth widths, perfect for both coarse beard hair and finer mustache hairs.

Routine tip: Comb your beard daily (or at least every other day) when it's slightly damp or after applying oil/balm. This helps train the hair to lay how you want it, reduces flyaways, and ensures every strand gets conditioned.

4. Trim & Tidy

Even if you're growing your beard out, regular trims (every few weeks) help maintain shape and remove split ends. You don’t need a full haircut — just use a precision trimmer for touch-ups.

A great tool is the Andis Pivot Pro Corded Trimmer — it's powerful, has a T-blade for close cutting, and comes with several guard sizes so you can outline and shape with confidence.

Use the trimmer to clean up lines around the cheeks and neckline, then softly trim any unruly longer hairs. After trimming, you can reapply a little oil or balm to restore moisture.

5. Stick to a Consistent Routine

Consistency is everything when it comes to beard care. A regular routine helps your beard look its best over time, and keeps the skin underneath healthy, too.

Here’s a simple weekly structure you could follow:

• 2–3x/week: Wash with a gentle beard shampoo

• Every day: Apply beard oil or balm

• Daily or every other day: Comb through

• Every few weeks: Trim stray hairs and shape

• Monthly: Clean your tools (comb, trimmer) to prevent buildup

6. Bonus Tip — Take Care of Your Skin

Taking care of your beard isn’t just about the hair — the skin underneath matters too. Keeping your skin clean and moisturized helps prevent itch and beard dandruff (“beardruff”). Use skincare basics like gentle cleanser, and make sure your beard oil or balm reaches the skin, not just the hair.
