Beard shampoo
Nowadays, beards are completely accepted and can be a real eye-catcher. But they do require some care to keep them looking healthy, soft and shiny. This is because beard hair can collect a lot of bacteria and therefore needs to be washed regularly. A good beard shampoo can help with this.
Why use beard shampoo?
Beard wash contains the right ingredients to clean beard hair thoroughly and also nourishes the skin beneath. Beards are more sensitive than head hair and therefore require different care. It is also important to keep beard hair and the skin beneath moisturized, which you can do by using beard oil, beard balm or beard conditioner.
How do you use beard shampoo?
Using beard shampoo is simple and similar to washing your hair. Take a little shampoo from the bottle and apply it to your wet beard until it lathers. Leave the shampoo on for a few minutes and then rinse out the beard wash. After rinsing, gently pat your beard dry to prevent the hairs from breaking. For an extra soft beard, you could also use a beard conditioner. Wash your beard with beard shampoo two to three times a week to keep it clean and fresh.
Why can't you use regular shampoo to wash your beard?
Beard hair and the underlying skin are more sensitive than head hair and therefore require different care. Using regular shampoo will lead to a dry, unkempt and hard beard and can also dry out the underlying skin, which can cause beard itching and flaking (also known as dandruff).
A beard wash therefore contains more natural ingredients and nutrients than a normal shampoo. A beard wash also ensures that not only the beard hairs, but also the underlying skin is cared for.
Is a beard wash only good for your beard?
Most beard shampoos are also suitable for washing your scalp and hair. That is why you often see them as a combination product for your beard and head hair. Even if it is not indicated, a beard shampoo can be effective for cleaning your hair because a good beard shampoo is usually of higher quality than the average hair shampoo.
What should you look for when buying a beard shampoo?
Choosing the best beard shampoo is not always easy. Pay particular attention to the ingredients in a beard wash and preferably choose natural ingredients, so that the natural oils and nutrients are not stripped from the skin and beard hairs. Chemical ingredients cause the skin to dry out even more.
