Beard Shampoo
A beard is now completely accepted and can be a real eye-catcher. However, it requires the necessary grooming to look healthy, soft, and shiny. This is because beard hairs can trap a lot of bacteria and therefore need to be washed regularly. A good beard shampoo can help with this.
Why use beard shampoo?
A beard shampoo contains the right ingredients to properly clean the beard hairs and also works to care for the underlying skin. A beard is more sensitive than head hair and therefore needs different grooming. Additionally, it is important to keep the beard hairs and underlying skin hydrated, which you can do by using beard oil, beard balm or beard conditioner.
How to use beard shampoo?
Using a beard shampoo is simple and comparable to washing head hair. You take a little shampoo from the bottle and rub it into your wet beard until it lathers. Let the shampoo soak in for a while and then rinse out the beard shampoo. After rinsing, gently pat your beard dry so that the beard hairs do not break. For an extra soft beard, you could also use a beard conditioner. Wash your beard two to three times a week with beard shampoo to keep it clean and fresh.
Why can't you use regular shampoo to wash your beard?
Beard hairs and the underlying skin are more sensitive than head hair and therefore need different grooming. Using regular shampoo will lead to a dry, unkempt, and hard beard and can also dry out the underlying skin, causing beard itch and flakes (also known as beard dandruff).
A beard wash therefore contains more natural ingredients and nutrients than a regular shampoo. A beard wash also ensures that not only the beard hairs but also the underlying skin is cared for.
Is a beard wash only good for your beard?
Most beard shampoos are also certainly suitable for washing your scalp and hair. You often see them as a combination for beard and your head hair. Even if it is not indicated, a beard shampoo can be effective for cleaning your hairstyle because a good beard shampoo is usually of higher quality than the average hair shampoo.
What should you pay attention to when purchasing a beard shampoo?
Choosing the best beard shampoo is not always easy. Pay particular attention to the ingredients in a beard shampoo and preferably choose natural ingredients so that the natural oils and nutrients are not stripped from the skin and beard hairs. Chemical ingredients cause the skin to dry out even more.
