TIPS FOR CARING FOR A THINNING BEARD

For several years now, beards have no longer been considered a sign of poor hygiene. Better still, for men who enjoy wearing it, it’s back in fashion! The proof is that cosmetics specially dedicated to beards have appeared on the market, as has the return of the barber. In fact, this is the very essence of the beard’s aesthetic appeal: beard care!

It’s absolutely essential to take care of it, otherwise the beard’s aesthetic appearance will be totally ruined. Care is even more important when the beard is thinning. Even if it doesn’t grow as much as you’d like, it deserves your full attention.

Here’s a closer look at how to daily care for a thinning beard.

Give it time to grow

The first tip for caring for a thinning beard is to give the hairs time to grow. Even if you have a dense beard, the same tip applies!

By promoting growth, you allow regrowth to naturally fill in the gaps. It may take 1 or 2 months, but it’s worth it if you want a beautiful, bushy beard you can properly care for later on. If your skin is healthy, you may notice regrowth after just a few weeks.

Clean your beard daily

Cleansing is essential for aesthetics, as dirty, clogged skin prevents the hairs from coming out. That’s why you need to clean your beard thoroughly morning and night with a mild shampoo or soap. Don’t hesitate to exfoliate with a gentle scrub to remove dead cells and support skin cell renewal.

Exfoliation is also key to soothing the tugging and itching caused by hair growth. It is also useful for eliminating dandruff, which can appear on dry skin.

You can then use Impec hand and face wash, which has been formulated with glycerine to moisturize the skin after washing.

Moisturize your beard

Just like cleansing, moisturizing is also important for the beard’s aesthetic appearance. To do this, use a vegetable oil like argan oil, for example, which not only nourishes but also deeply moisturizes. It also softens the hair and revitalizes the roots.

Furthermore, you can use jojoba oil, which has the ability to restore the skin’s protective film as well as moisturizing it. This oil is also dry, making it more suitable for general beard care if you don’t like the shiny look of other vegetable oils.

Finally, you can lock in your beard’s moisture with an emollient balm.

Brush your beard regularly

Any self-respecting bearded man who wants to take good care of his beard must have at least a comb and brush in his beard care arsenal. This equipment will be useful for smoothing stubborn hairs and giving it a less thinned-out appearance!

Brushing your beard is also a good way to distribute the moisturizers you apply after cleaning and to stimulate hair growth.

To comb your beard properly, first wet it with clear water, then curl the hairs with a round brush or comb to style them. At the same time, blow-dry on low heat to smooth the hairs and facilitate the movement of the comb.

Finally, apply your oil or balm to complete the styling.

Note that a wooden comb is better than a plastic one, to avoid static electricity during styling, which can cause beard hairs to clump.

Trim with scissors or clippers

You may be thinking that if your beard is thin, it’s not worth trimming, but it’s just the opposite. In fact, trimming gives your beard a better structure and, consequently, a well-groomed appearance!

You can contour or create a more structured shape using small scissors or clippers. Make sure you trim the hair on the cheeks and nape of the neck to create that structured effect.
