How to soften the bristles of your beard?

Due to frequent shaving, the beard can sometimes become dry and rough, which can lead to potential itching. However, certain simple actions and products can be adopted to alleviate this type of discomfort and soften the hair. Find our advice below.

What factors cause a beard to become rough and coarse?

The first factor is none other than shaving. Indeed, during regrowth, in order to penetrate the epidermis and the horny layer, the hairs thicken, harden, and gain strength, hence their sometimes unpleasantly coarse appearance to the touch. Beard hairs thus tend to be rougher than head hair.

Furthermore, poor beard maintenance (lack of hydration, use of unsuitable tools and materials, lack of care during shaving...) enhances its rough appearance. Beard dandruff can then appear. This inevitably leads to numerous discomforts, such as tightness or itching.

What are the tips for softening one's beard hair?

Having a soft and supple beard without frequent trips to the barber is possible! Let's discover together the steps to adopt:

  • Regularly cleanse your beard.

    The beard easily accumulates dust and dirt. It is important to clean it regularly, especially before applying a treatment. Moreover, cleaning unclogs the pores, allowing the treatment to deeply penetrate the hair follicles. Cleaning the beard will also help to sanitize the skin underneath. In this regard, you can, for example, use our purifying cleansing gel. Rich in purifying active ingredients such as zinc PCA, this cleansing gel sanitizes the skin, regulates sebum production, and limits the development of imperfections.

    Note : Once a week, gently exfoliate it with a beard scrub to prevent the development of ingrown hairs under the beard, cleanse the skin, and stimulate hair growth.

  • Applying a beard oil.

    After washing, make sure to dry your beard before moving on to the next step. Thebeard oil is an essential multifunctional care product. It helps tosoften and tame the hairs, limit the growth of bacteria, moisturize the skin, and reduce potential itching related to shaving, as well as provide a pleasant fragrance for a true moment of well-being. If you have a dry and brittle beard, you can use beard oil morning and night, daily. However, those with oily skin should rather apply beard oil once a day, or even every other day, to improve the appearance of the beard without creating an overly greasy effect.

    Thebeard oil from Typology contains several plant-based oils:hemp,castor,argan,sunflower. It also includesgreen mandarin peel essential oil, as well asScots pine needle essential oil. The latter gives this oil a fresh forest and pine sap fragrance. It is packaged in a bottle equipped with a dosing dropper. Simply take a few drops in the palm of your hands and rub them together to warm up the substance. Then apply the treatment to the hairy area of the facial skin, from the root of the hair to its tip, while massaging to ensure the product is well absorbed. The active ingredients will also act on the skin to soothe itching and stimulate growth.

  • Brush the beard to make it supple.

    This step is not mandatory, but we recommend accompanying the application of beard oil with a few strokes of a beard brush or comb. This precaution is necessary, especially if the hairs are long. This way, you can distribute the treatment more evenly along the lengths and to the tips. In this manner, the beard will be groomed and the beard oil will be evenly distributed.
