When grooming your beard it is best to start off with a clean beard. A clean beard will absorb the oil more readily, and it will go directly onto the strands. If you already have product on your beard from the previous day, the oil will only sit on top of the product. Here is a plug, dry your beard with a t-shirt or microfiber towel. It will keep your beard from becoming frizzy and feeling rough. The good part about starting off with a freshly washed beard is that the cuticles (the outer most layer of the hair) will be slightly open, therefore, allowing oils to slide right into the strands and begin to moisturize. The way to make sure that the cuticles are open is to rinse with cool, not warm water. Warm water will close the cuticles. Beard oil should nourish your beard, not make it feel like gook is in it. The oil should have a smooth light texture and consistency to it. It should almost feel like a conditioner to your beard. Before you begin to apply the oil, start by placing 3-5 drops of oil, depending on the thickness and length of your beard, on the palms of your hands, applying it evenly from root to tip, once evenly applied genlty rub your palms along the sides of your beard to your chin, then, genlty rub down the chin - down the lenth of the beard. After these steps comb or brush the beard on both sides and down the front.
