Do I need to oil & wax?

You wash & condition the hair on your head and treat it with tender care using all sorts of products, so why not treat the hair on your face the same way… Yes, we are talking of beards and that also includes moustaches.   This delightful growth is often forgotten about on a daily basis when it needs a little TLC too.  So should you wash, oil and wax?   Absolutely and there are many fantastic products on the market today that will do just that. 

Each and every beard is different and needs a routine tailored to suit.  Each mans grooming need is individual and what works on one beard might not work on another.  According to Percy Nobelman when your beard is “young” and not very long it is recommended to only use an oil which is lighter and will keep your facial stubble or short beard nice and soft.  When it has reached the more ponderous lengths of say 4cm (1.5 inches) it’s time to introduce balm & eventually wax. 

But you can use beard oil on a daily basis after your shower, making sure you work it down to roots which will not only condition the beard but also the underlying skin whereas the balm or wax is intended for the outer part of your beard to give it hold and a light shine and of course how much to use is based on your beard – is it wispy, coarse or maybe just a little troublesome.
