Shea Moisture Paraben-Free Beard Detangler

Beards are more in style than ever, and having a reliable beard detangling system is essential. After all, whiskers should be pampered to keep them looking their best. You will find a variety of products on the market to help with moisturizing and detangling, including creams, lotions, oils, brushes and combs.

Simply brushing or combing a beard has benefits, as it helps remove loose hairs, dead skin cells and debris. Some of these products can also be used on the hair on your head, which is nice and convenient.

Wide-tooth combs work well, and these can be used on wet or dry beards. Brushes are best on dry beards and hair, and cover larger areas. Use these to define a beard’s overall shape.

Beard lotions, creams and oils condition and style facial hair, and generally have ingredients like shea butter, beeswax and almond oil.  They also make beards look shinier and healthier. When shopping for these, avoid products with overly strong scents. Not only can the smell be annoying, but it can also set off allergic reactions. Mild scents are best.

• Work the product into the facial hair, and into the skin beneath. The tips of the hairs should be completely coated for the best results.
• Some conditioners are leave-in, while others should be washed off. Either way, be sure to comb or brush your beard after conditioning.
• Beard oils are also leave-in moisturizers and conditioners but are instead made with essential oils. These are made to be used on dry beards and can be brushed through.
• Even if your facial hair is in its early stages, a moisturizing beard detangler can encourage the growth of a thick, full beard.
