3 BEST ways to apply Beard Oil! DEMONSTRATED!

[@_RGT_5000_]

There are so many videos with solid skills and advice to be successful with your beard. You were, are, and will co to use to be THEE Trusted Teacher

[@DanCBearded]

Thank you so much Ron!

[@jakeboss6342]

Really loved the demonstration video Dan! I always use the #1 method, and also my own method, is i take a dropper and in a fast motion glide it across my kent comb so the teeth catch the beard oil the entire length of the smaller teeth side, then i take my comb and push up against the skin so the comb is greased up in beard oil and directly apply to the skin and then comb down, it works great, and my most favorite method, and I use both #1 method and my own method in the same routine. I've actually also combined #2 method along with my method, I directly apply the dropper to the skin under my beard, and then i'd use my comb in the way i described, my kent comb flat against the skin an sliding motion across my skin

[@beardedjoeyhookem507]

I like your idea with adding oil to the comb! I'll definitely try that method!

[@jakeboss6342]

@@beardedjoeyhookem507 Thanks man! you should, it also saves on greasy hands, and the next morning your comb will already be greased up lol

[@DanCBearded]

All great feedback, thanks Jake!

[@milkbones69]

Method #1 works for me with liquid oil blends and, also, with raw, 100% virgin coconut oil,--which is the consistency of lard until it melts in the palm of your hand.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome Tony!

[@TheBeardedDude]

I don’t know about the dropper to the skin method. You may transfer contaminents into the bottle in that way. I prefer method 1. It works well and you keep your products clean.

[@DanCBearded]

That is a great point!

[@beardedjoeyhookem507]

I Also have a thicker beard as well. I prefer method number 1 also.

[@brobinson1295]

Method #1 FTW!!!

[@DanCBearded]

Twins!

[@joelnert]

Always method 1 for me. Early on I didn't know oil was more for the skin so i just focused on distributing it through the beard. Now i always focus on the deep dive first, then distribute to all the hair.

[@DanCBearded]

Same! Have to get it to the skin

[@Knickerbocker_Ave]

I use option 2.... love pump tops more than droppers or restricter caps. Just easier

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome!

[@verdejt]

I always use method 3. I find it makes my beard feel better and my skin loves this and it really stops the itches for me. I also use a Stainless Steel Comb to comb my beard.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@johnjones8188]

I like the fact that you emphasized that the oil needs to be on the skin and not just the beard alone. I use method number one.

[@DanCBearded]

Yes! Oil is for the skin, we need to nourish the SKIN! The hair will be fine if you treat the skin first

[@barkersbeards8714]

I use method #1. I feel that you will get a more even coverage of the oil. Some thicker oils won't spread as easily as the thinner oils do and you need full facial hair area coverage with oil. I also agree with the amount variance from pump/treatment tops compared to droppers. I have used both and always seem to run out of the pump top oil before the dropper top. Glad to have you back home and to hear the family enjoyed Disney. Much love brother.

[@DanCBearded]

I agree Caleb! Even distributing is really important and missed by a lot

[@Brownshorror666]

When I got my first oil, I winged it and I ended up doing method 1. Now that I have seen this video, I must say that I chose wisely. This has really worked well for me and I haven't looked back. Thanks for showing this!

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome!

[@fredchurch5604]

I typically use method 1 but if I have certain areas that are drier or sensitive, I'll use method 3. Method 1 is great for overall coverage while method 3 is really great for concentrating on problem or sensitive spots. Great vidoe and demo, Dan. Beard on.

[@DanCBearded]

Absolutely well said!

[@dougsloan3822]

I’m a method number one guy. One thing I do as well with any leftover oil after I’ve worked it through is to focus on the ends if I find a split end or two. After trimming those off, I make sure that the ends of the hairs get enough hydration and nourishment to prevent further split ends (on top of lots of water and a good cowash). I’m hoping with the end of the dry winter weather, that will become less of a concern.

[@DanCBearded]

I do the exact same thing! I make beard into almost a ponytail with my hands and really apply oil to the ends. They are the oldest living soldiers (hair grows from the base), so they need some love

[@steverobertbrown]

I figured most would say number one and that's the method I use as well. I believe it is the most effective way to distribute oil on your skin and through your beard. I have tried the other methods but quickly realized I was doing it right already. I was using a Kent comb until a couple weeks ago, but when I received Beard Octane's larger oxhorn comb by accident it changed my world. That comb is by far the best comb I've used, so I went ahead and bought another one.

[@DanCBearded]

The ox horn combs are amazinggg!

[@augustgarbow9037]

Method 3. I get dry and itchy skin on my chin area and it needs direct application. I too have a rather thick beard and I find that this works best for my problem area. Awesome vid! Thanks

[@FableBeardCo]

[@DanCBearded]

Haha far from that but thank you for the compliment! You know I cannot make a short video... lol

[@rodautodetailing]

@@@DanCBearded Sick Beard man! i caught the part that you mentioned the white bulb at the end of shedded hair, alot of my beard sheds and alot of the ends have very small bulbs or unheathly looking bulbs. it feels like i shed too much. does it sound like unheathy hairs?

[@DanCBearded]

@@rodautodetailing if there is a dark bulb at the end, it is shedding prematurely. Usually from poor grooming habits. If there is no bulb, then you have breakage. That is dehydration, chemicals, heat, or other serious issuesb

[@mikeg2295]

Thought something was wrong with my volume. Missed the intro but no worries it’s memorized lol. I use method #1 👍🏼

[@DanCBearded]

[@4pitts1burgh28]

I use Pacino's beard oil with a pump top. 4 pumps into my hand and work it through. The only reason i use Pacino's is because i never knew there was such a thing as beard oil so i saw it and bought it. I was only using it 2-3 times a week which, thanks to you, i see isn't enough. Great video

[@michaeladams3012]

I've only been doing method #1. I haven't gotten a pump bottle only a dropper. Like you I think you can get more even coverage.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome!

[@rjfelix4186]

[@Obeconobe7]

Excellent video demonstration! I use method #1... always have and always will. Of the three choices... dropper, pump and restricted top... I prefer the dropper.

[@DanCBearded]

Heck yeah!

[@yosefjoooda3795]

Method 1 is the best

[@DanCBearded]

👊

[@thebeardedpreacher7507]

Thanks for the video. I have only known about method #1 and have used it. However, now that I know of these other 2 methods, I’m open to at least trying them out to see how it goes. Might change, I’ll never know until I try it out. I’m always open to trying new things as long as it doesn’t damage or harm my beard. Thank you again for the education.

[@jonmoyer2037]

Method 1 for sure, I have a fairly dense beard and that’s the best way for me to get that oil to the skin

[@DanCBearded]

Spot on!

[@TheBeardedShark]

Great video, method number one is the best for me

[@DanCBearded]

Agreed Mr. Shark!

[@nathanlong4802]

I apply 1 drop of oil per 4 finger pads, rub together with other 4 finger pads and go through beard to skin. Sometimes I repeat this step for a total of 8 drops, depending on if beard has been freshly washed or if co washed only. I find that 4 drops is enough if I only co wash, and if freshly washed with beard wash 8 drops gets beard back to par. For mustache I put 1 or 2 drops in palm and run mustache comb through oil and brush it in making sure to get all way to skin. Sometimes I apply directly to skin with dropper for mustache, but I always seem to over do oil amount that way. I cant seem to get all way to skin using finger pad method on mustache. Thats the only place I have trouble with red flaky skin in past. Thanks to you Dan C on recommending the comb method, I haven't had any issues lately

[@DanCBearded]

Man you have it down to a science brotha!

[@titanium6868]

Method 1 works best for me! Thanks for the video. Good explanation. Keep up the good work Dan!

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks for the nice comment!

[@ADCSengineering]

Method #1 always.

[@DanCBearded]

Agreed 👊🧔

[@ModernGentleman]

Method 1 for me. Honest amish, 1 dropper full. Then 5 min to soak in, then a pea sized amount of heavy duty balm, then dry. I've tried many methods and this works best for me. I do it daily right out of the shower. Keep calm and beard on ✌

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome man!

[@DanCBearded]

Thank you for the kind words brotha!!

[@ryanjuneau4912]

Method 1 for sure! I put oil in hands warm it up work into beard. Then I get a stiff boar hair bristle brush and work that oil into skin and stimulate blood flow. Then finish getting dressed or whatever else I need to get ready then style with Kent comb or ox horn comb

[@DanCBearded]

Heck yeah!

Method 1 - and great video as always.

[@DanCBearded]

Thank you!

[@ericcookakawookierants8336]

I'm a method #1 kind of guy. Good explanation of the different methods.

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks Eric!

[@loganweirich1928]

I use the first method as well because I feel like that’s the best way for me to get the oil evenly distributed to my skin. Also I like this method because it’s the easiest way to measure how much oil I’m using. Right now I’m using a half dropper

[@DanCBearded]

You hit on two very important aspects: measuring & distribution

[@billy_bonka2140]

my first order from beard octane came in today and let me tell you that company blew my mind. liquid gold oil and barbershop butter. straight fire. used your affiliate link and code too btw lol.

[@DanCBearded]

[@dirtyhairy8884]

# 1 for this old man. Great tips & video good sir!

[@joncurry180]

Thanks for the review Dan.. my thoughts on this is #1 is definitely the way to apply oil. 2 and 3 just seem ridiculous to me but everyone is different. If someone has problem areas just add a few more drops to hand after first applying and then focus on that area.

[@DanCBearded]

I agree Jon!

[@chrisburnett7646]

Good video Dan!..I use the first method and prefer a dropper to measure my oil...I won’t even buy an oil with a spray top..restricted tops are ok 👊🇺🇸

[@DanCBearded]

Oh wow, that is a hard line stance against the other tops!

[@Brianpeckin]

I preferred number 1. I comb out under the neck then down the Beard.

[@DanCBearded]

Absolutely! Good add on 👊

[@louismilano2701]

I have beard oil envy trusted teacher!

[@funkdaddy3.0]

I'm playing catch up on your videos...I'm a method #1, I feel that it help insures that I'm getting to the skin first then working it out to the ends of my beard. Thanks for the video.

[@DanCBearded]

Agreed completely! And thanks for checking out the videos!

[@scottmichaud4002]

I use method number one all the way, and I 100% agree with everything you said about your reasoning behind using method number one. And I too prefer the dropper over the pump for that same reason, and also it just looks nicer then the pump top in my opinion.

[@DanCBearded]

I agree Scott!

[@vainkrain867]

I've done all of these when first started just experimenting never really watched any videos till recently. Method 1 is the best hands down. I like to start from underneath the beard rub the rest downward from the outside of the beard then I run the comb through real quick and call it good

[@jerryclark2126]

I use method #1. It works best for me.

[@reubenk7331]

I used to apply directly with a dropper, and use my hands. Applying it directly I just couldn't get it spread out evenly. IF I have an extra dry spot for whatever reason, I will sometimes apply directly. I haven't had to do that in a while since improving my routine and drinking more water. So overall now I just apply to hands.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome!

[@Tomla12]

I use method 1 mostly 👌

[@DanCBearded]

Samsies!

[@robk5094]

Great video and options!!!

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks Rob K!

[@enqrob]

Method one for me Dan for the same reasons as yourself! I don't think I use enough oil so I'm going to experiment with larger doses! Great video 👌👏

[@henrythompson5853]

Basically I use the dropper and then use the hands and massage it in the beard and then comb it through and then finish it off by brushing.

[@joelvaldez6970]

I do the number 1 method. From what I've seen, everyone with a big and healthy beard does the number 1 method. They heat up the oil, start from the bottom and work their fingertips onto their skin and then come down on the beard. It works best for me, my beard always feels soft and hydrated. And the growth is showing. I've never felt like I needed to change that up. Btw, Seven Potions beard oil is amazing!!! Always leaves my beard super soft for like 6 to 7 hours even when exposed to the elements.

[@DanCBearded]

Agreed man, I am falling in love with Seven Potions!

[@wmh327]

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks Micah!

[@steveokenivo3256]

I use #1. But, for a #4, apply beard oil across teeth of comb and comb through, following by working to skin with fingers. Gets oil pretty evenly spaced. But, #1 seems to be the best for me. I’m a traditionalist lol.

[@DanCBearded]

Nothing wrong with a traditionalist!

[@deadeyedaves]

DanC another amazing video and knowledge drop. So did I do it wrong when I applied the beard balm on the motorcycle? If so I can go and try it again. 😂 Was thinking of doing it with beard oil but that wouldn’t of went very well. If your beard gets any fuller your going to need a garden rake to evenly spread that beard oil after application. 😂 Seriously thank you for teaching the proper way of beard product application. Some people use way to much and some use way to little. So this video was much needed for beginners to intermediate beards. 👊🏼👍🏼🔥

I've tried method #1 and #3, but I've seen much better results with method #1. Whenever I tried method #3 I tended to over apply my oil because some patches felt dry and others felt too oiled and I would try to apply more to the dry areas. It was just too hard to get it spread evenly throughout without using too much.

Hi Dan love your tips and of course have subscribed to your site. I am using the first method per your advice but I have a couple of questions.First how often should I use beard oil? Daily,every other day,or weekly? Second how much should I use? The packaging says a few 4-5 drops but you dropped quite a bit on your palm. My beard is about half your length right now but with your help I hope to have my David Letterman beard ready to go once the Covid-19 horror is over and get back to work.

[@beardedveteran7101]

My question would be, why do companies skimp out on oil and use a 1oz rather than a 2 or 3oz? Oils are really cheap and home made beard oil is extremely cheap and easy to do. I've googled costs etc and come to see that at a small scale with label a 1oz bottle can be made for $3-$4 max! But yet companies are asking $15+ for each bottle. Why not use a 2 or 3oz and raise that cost by a few bucks to justify that larger bottle. 1oz bottles have always bothered me and a question I have. Sounds dumb lol but maybe you can put light on it

[@DanCBearded]

A main reason is because a 1oz bottle looks better. Seems silly, but true. Also, a lot of guys collect beard oils and they do experince usually around 2 years. 1oz oil is more likely to be used before expiring. Also, they want customers to return quicker Haha 👊
