What Is The Beard Growth Routine?
Cleansing
Keeping a clean beard is paramount to washing away debris, dirt, food and product buildup, not to mention, some of this getting down into the under-skin of the beard causing clogged follicles, itching and irritation. Once this happens, growth is stunted making one wonder why the growth has leveled off? Another issue can become underskin acne, which, can be extremely irritating and problematic. When cleansing your beard, rinsing with warm (not hot) water is normal right? There is a difference in rinsing with warn water and cold water. Do not rinse with hot water. Warm water opens the cuticles, which allows for irrigation of the pores; cold water softens and closes the cuticles to lock in moisture making the beard soft and frizz free.

High Quality Products will help your beard flourish and maintain good manageability, but, you must be consistant with your routine. Do not purchse shampoos that strip your strands of natural oils. Read before you buy. You do not want sulfates or parabens in your products. These ingredients completely strip down the strands instead of breaking them down. When products break down, you can build back up by restoring oils and moisture. When you strip strands, you can ultimately cause damage to the skin and strands. Be sure to have nourishing products in every phase of your regiment. Nourished beards thrive. Groom your beard in the way you want it to be. If you want it healthy, keep it clean, condition it, feed it nutritious products and brush or comb it properly. With this attention to your beard, it should look and be the way you desire.
