Buying and use decisions
| Priority | What to check |
|---|---|
| Fit | Does it do the specific job you need? |
| Comfort | Can you use it without unnecessary pulling or friction? |
| Value | What does it cost to buy and maintain? |
Age is not the problem
A grey or white beard does not need fixing. Decide what feels comfortable and looks tidy to you.
Clean beneath the hair
Wash facial hair and the skin beneath it gently. Rinse wax, balm and other styling residue thoroughly.
Condition only as needed
If hair tangles or feels rough, a little beard-appropriate conditioner or oil may improve manageability. Too much can look coated.
Understand yellow tones
Smoke, food and product residue can affect light hair appearance. Remove ordinary buildup before trying a toning product.
Purple products are optional
Check that a product is suitable for facial hair and follow its directions. Overuse can leave an unwanted tint.
Trim in good light
Use a comb and check the outline from more than one angle. Small trims are easier to correct than large cuts.
