Myths

Myth 1: A shaved beard grows back thicker.

One common myth is that shaving facial hair makes it grow back thicker. While facial hair grows back with a blunt tip, appearing thicker – the thickness is influenced by genetics and hormones.

Myth 2: You’ll make your facial hair fuller with beard oil.

These specialized oils moisturize the skin underneath your facial hair, since its prone to becoming dry and itchy. Still, don’t throw your products away, they’re key to maintaining a healthy-looking, well-groomed beard.

Common Mistakes

Mistake 1: Skimping out on specialized products.

While oils and products don’t make your facial hair thicker directly, you can’t replace them with regular shampoo or body soap. The skin beneath is sensitive – requiring specialized products to prevent unsightly (and uncomfortable) flakiness.

Mistake 2: Let that baby grow.

Allowing those whiskers to grow wild without regular trimming makes it look messy and unkempt. Without styling, it can even look thinner. Our beard grooming tip? Make regular trims non-negotiable.
