7 Beard Hacks You Have to Know

[@IMortalNemesisI]

Selfie hack #1... Don't take selfies.

[@Herculean.Aficionado]

true

[@smithchasea]

Best. Selfie. Hack. Ever.

[@Mr.DerekReese]

Loved the tips. There are so many greats out there but you're hands down my favorite Beardsman. It was one of your videos that first inspired me to put down the razors and let my hair down. I can proudly say I've only taken razor to chin 1 time over the past 2 years. No regrets. Thank you, sir, for your contribution to the movement. Beard on brother.

[@Beardbrand]

So now you've got a double yeard. Glad you've joined the movement and want to contribute as well. We'll change the view toward beards together 👍 👍

[@july1962]

You pucker like that when you kiss and the hairs are going to go straight up the other person's nose.

[@Meloen5]

Winwin, partner has a clean nose, and you... Nope, not a winwin...

[@trentwilliams2926]

Hey, so i'm sorta new to the whole beard thing, well kinda. i had a goatie for about 8 years and was recently convinced that i should trim it back and grow a full beard, like literally 3 weeks in. i decided if i was going to go all in, i would do it right, that's how i came across beardbrand videos. let me just say wow and thank you, i don't have a great beard, it isn't growing in all nice and even, i have some shitty patches but these videos have help me realize that just because it isn't much to look at now, it could be in the future. i super appreciate you guys.

[@ahmetselimsavi2217]

I am an English learner and i just learnd the saying "big old" from you sir thanks!

[@thomasnightingale3406]

I found that pouring the drink into my open mouth as a pose to kind of pulling it from the cup with my lips helps prevent getting liquid in my trash. Being from England problems mostly occur from drinking tea.

[@Azure_Wulf]

"Imagine this is..uhh..some kind of face" 2:25 This is the best sentence that has ever been spoke.

[@EU_DHD]

Growing your beard longer covers eventual patches you have. Longer beard = better beard coverage! Makes sense, once you think about it...

[@ListenMySon]

Excellent, as always. Thanks.

[@ericgriebenow2719]

Gray Bailey The man, the myth, the legend himself!

[@ishak6868]

Legend sultan of beards !

[@shafserious2805]

Gray Bailey if its so excellent why cut your beard off, the advice is a bit too late for you lol

[@ListenMySon]

Shafir Iqbal Because I appreciate and respect Eric as a man and Beardbrand as a business. However regarding you...Stop making trouble. I had two years of dealing with your dumbass comments. Now you have to do it on someone else's page? I have never experienced a single constructive comment from you. The Beardbrand guys are are gentle men. I am too but certainly not a doormat. Get lost.

[@madness7912]

Some drops of olive oil with two drops of collagen better than all kinds of beard oils 👍👍👍

[@delta10761]

Your voice reminds me of Ray Romano. love the videos love the channel love the products. BeardBrand is the reason I have grown facial hair the right way.

[@ConstantinIV]

I had to think of Kermit the Frog

[@aspenknite1758]

Wait. I'm a 17 year old girl, why do I watch this channel so often? 😂

[@dinithnipulitha9333]

You about to marry a beard man in the future 😂

[@AP-ny5sw]

Ur into older guys

[@zaidpansare4210]

Because you have started to grow beard hairs.

[@San-gi9yl]

She is 20 now

[@liquiditypapi5827]

She's 22 now

[@rjevonprice]

Other things that make beard life difficult: 1 The beard haters; family, friends, SO's friends, and other people that hate beards, that can grow them or can't but push their opinion even when you have a nice clean well kept beard. How do others deal with this? 2 Stache style anxiety, I'm pretty introverted, but my mustache isn't, and creates curled up beach cruiser handle bars as the day goes. 3 Pimples, yes we still get them. I've heard to spot treat them with tea tree oil? 4 Staches and allergies: sneezing, runny nose, etc are all bad days for the stache, keep your stache comb handy and a little beard wash in a tiny spray bottle. 5 The flu and beards: vomiting is never pretty but being sick and having a face filter to catch the projectiles is worse. Baby wipes help momentarily get the smell and grossness out of the way. Don't worry about over washing on sick days, you will feel better after a good teeth brushing and beard wash.

"Imagine this is some type of face." -Eric Bandholz

[@beatlegreg07]

That's a t shirt right there

[@ForcedFoxbody]

Big reason I've been keeping my mustache trimmed back so far is because of eating most foods, for sure going to give that method a try and see how bad out goes

[@Taylor-Crawford]

On this first Sunday of 2018 I have officially decided to make a diligent attempt to grow a successful beard. I have abnormally high testosterone and have been bald since my early twenties. I would like to know the best products to use from week one on my first attempt.

[@eladiocofresi5202]

Hack number two is fascinating. In my case, the lower lip has a larger patch (think Jack Black as a reference.) Aside from the mustache, I brush the hairs on my lower lip outward to give a bit more definition.

[@shashankyadav2979]

Loved your whisker dam trick... U saved my moustaches from wetting... Thanks a lot

[@Ronald_DMNKLR_Smith]

So I have to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I don't have any beard oil, and all I've found so far has lanolin in it (I'm allergic, and that sucks), so I tried cold-pressed coconut oil... OH MY GOSH HAS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE SO POSITIVELY!!!!! It was like using a magic potion on my unruly goatee of a beard! Keep up the awesome videos, and awesome advice!

[@Ronald_DMNKLR_Smith]

I also use it on the rest of the hair on my head, too, and it's just plain frickin' awesome. Now my wife has to share, lol.

[@Beardbrand]

+Ronald Smith glad to have helped, and just FYI Beardbrand beard oil doesn't have lanolin in the ingredients. It is included in our Utility Balm and Mustache wax though.

[@Ronald_DMNKLR_Smith]

Ah, ok, good to know!

[@hhussain7923]

Do a video on how to grow a mustache like yours and how long , and what areas to cut pleaseeee

[@Beardbrand]

You just gotta let it grow. Just trim the ends that bother you and of course the areas that aren't your mustache.

[@alanmuscat6414]

When you have to use a credit card while drinking, i think it's time to trim the tash..

[@tonykollar9973]

I use a flat comb edge to trim sideburns works like a charm since it's curved

[@Abdullah-dj7dc]

Everyday our facial hair catches all the dirt and dust preventing it to reach our skin, IMO we should cut the mustache to a length that it does not fall in our foods and drinks mixing all the grime it has in what we eat...

[@davidmunoz4022]

holy shit getting a credit card in your lips lol that's really something I didn't expect. Awesome video!

[@jondougherty1114]

Does the "just for men" beard coloring system hurt the beard?

[@4Morfius]

the turtleneck motion made me lol.😂

[@adapah7019]

Kermit is that you?

[@RobbieSuede13]

What i like to do after i shower first oil my Beard then get ready then Fix my Hair and for the last part i Wax my Mustache and whatever left over Wax i have on my fingers i just Rub it with my Palms and Apply it as Balm on my Beard for a lil Touch of Hold, Im sure alot of guys do this but thought ill post it anyway :)

[@Beardbrand]

That's a good strategy! you get both the moisturizer, and the hold. -Parker

[@MrZeroFaith]

Speaking of using a credit card or other plastic card, I actually use one to help me shape the cheek lines, works perfect, don't even need to use a razor, just a card and beard trimmer gives a sharp line.

[@theR0NIN]

Why does it need to be cold-pressed oil? To avoid solvent residues from some other cooking oils? Or is there some added _benefit_ to cold-pressed oils? Also, what about using mineral oil or "Baby Oil"?

[@averagegamer9975]

I use coconut oil not the kitchen stuff. its made for hair and works well

[@lostdud]

Awesome video thanks! The card/whisker dam hack made my day! My alternative tip, which is the way I normally combat that problem, is to sip it and be very careful about the angle of drink. And by sipping I mean almost drawing the liquid from the cup at with suction of mouth. Obviously this can be audible and distracting to people so that's why I really like the whisker dam! Thanks Eric!

[@Razah.]

Disney will hire this dude just for his voice

[@megagene]

I actually do the opposite for #6. My beard is currently really short on the sides, but it's extremely sparse, so if I turtle my head out, it further emphasizes how sparse it is because you can actually see the spaces between the hairs sticking out of my jaw like the needles sticking out of a cactus. But when I do the double chin motion, it compresses the hairs and makes it look fuller. So yeah, I guess you could say I sacrifice jawline for the illusion of thicker facial hair.

[@norcal6181]

My favorite beard hack is when I go down on my girl, I let my whiskers get all up in there too, and then all through out the day my beard is like a little flavor saver. Later on at work I just take a little whiff of my stash, and boom, gooter for days! My girl loves it too!

[@polo-yn7kg]

LOL

[@travispfeifer1979]

Philthy Phil that's disgusting

[@norcal6181]

Travis Pfeifer, no it is beautiful

[@jbartnik1918]

Best part about having a moustache (Cigar smoke comes in close second) Really excited for it now that I'm letting it get beyond a couple weeks' growth.

[@1neAdam12]

+Travis Pfeifer No, putting his mouth on a man's anus is disgusting. Heterosex is normal.

[@BodeShorts12]

Hey Eric, what'll it take to get one of those t-shirts?

[@clinteastwood666]

can u please make a video on mustache trimming like trimming the corners to part mustache from the beard.

[@HoundXXII]

I love your videos, but you can easily describe that as "lifting up your mustache with your index finger" lol Good video 5/5

[@rmatic2295]

"Imagine this is some kinda face.." hahahaha

[@derkwest]

So saltwater makes your beard look thicker? How does that work? And if it harmful to your beard?

[@jjsameer89]

I'm gonna start a band and call it Downward Pucker Mushroom!

[@andriesrautenbach539]

Hey thanks guys you helped me a lot

[@ericlimon1139]

What do you use in your hair good sir?

[@007TheFrog]

at what length do you think your beard is at this moment? clipper guard or mm??

[@Beardbrand]

Hmm, I'd probably say about a 4 or 5 guard. It's actually a tad shorter than length of this trimming video I did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3-1kIiGmKuLmZI

[@007TheFrog]

Thanks for the quick reaction!

[@marcellosalt1013]

Excellent and humorous as always! Thank you BB!

[@vijayprabhu6654]

Eric, i have been watching your videos since the day i started growing a beard i.e 5 months ago. i must say i have been blessed with a dense beard and your tips have definitely helped me to maintain my mane. Good Job mate, cheers!!!

[@JourdannChrisstian]

Actually I prefer wearing white as my beard is black, since it brings out the contrast, and when I wear black - the shade eats away some of the volume, which I don't like

[@spacevikingcowboy5784]

I want to know do you guys have a routine for your beard before you go to sleep? I wake up with bead beard all the time and I try to train it to go down but it goes crazy when I wake up.

[@faizandar1514]

The right side of my mustache is dense and heavy compared to my left side. Is there a trimming or any technique to make both sides look even?

[@HODLGENG]

This guy made me laugh so hard. Love it!

[@patrickdezenzio4988]

Try eating a Paleo burger from Mooyah......can't be done without taking a shower afterwards. #1 issue with my beard is eating messy food.

[@elvisfuentes2376]

Great hacks Eric!!! Thanks for the video!

[@justinjackson9146]

What length is his hair on the cheeks and chin? Thanks☺👍

[@thenorthman1776]

Dude, freaking great tip on how to eat! Why have I never heard of that before?

[@swilliams140]

"Hey, since you have your credit card out, you must be buying, right?"

[@thedemonrealm6483]

Awesomeness! Excellent video!

[@nextmike1026]

Yes am trying the big project of growing a Yard

[@iamJuxen]

I thought it was Gavin McInnes from the thumbnail haha

[@1neAdam12]

I learned how to eat soup with an epic stache from watching scene II in The Good Bad and the Ugly.

[@calebwillingham6481]

I love the t-shirt; I've seen you wear it in several videos. I read a comment that it was from a conference. Will you guys ever sell Beardbrand t-shirts, especially one similar to the one you are wearing?

[@Beardbrand]

This shirt was made for Beardbrand employees during our SXSW party. However, there has been talk about producing some to sell. -Parker

[@drakonwulfkozeidon8907]

Great hacks thank you.

[@Beardbrand]

Glad they can help! -Parker

[@brettmitchell8014]

This dude is smart!

[@СлаваРоссия-у7ж]

Hey bro, so by cold pressed u mean oil that has been in the fridge right and how many times a week should one apply oil? There's plenty of cooking oil in my kitchen and I really want to tey your first hack!

[@Sjatheman]

great vid...sounds like Grover from sesame street

[@mraljanahi9837]

Good Tips, Thanks Eric. 👍☺

[@Jay-sd9ye]

My beard grows mostly fine just not up my chin and under mustache. IDK what style I should go for.

[@Tomern121]

that mustache is fire💥

[@СлаваРоссия-у7ж]

Also, would hair lotion or hair food that one uses for their head hair work for the beard? Your reply would be appreciated:-)

[@Beardbrand]

We wouldn't recommend lotions or food for hair to be used on your beard. Beard hair is MUCH different and requires a bit of a different formula for health and strength. - Jack

[@shortyxmoshpigx5488]

okay. 'the puckering technique' was the funniest thing i have seen today. sure. i give my significant other a headbutt before/while kissing. common move. i am glad i don't have a stache....

[@SileDevil]

is it ok to use baby oil ?

[@RadArgie]

I just hear John C Reiley Gving Beard Advice. Awesome

[@Beardbrand]

Glad you liked the video!

Hack no3 just saved my marriage!

[@JuanSLS]

Great, thank you.

[@sobhanm9576]

[@fernandomoreno7753]

I use my gfs eye brow pencil to darken the cheeks alittle, it even comes with a small brush to work in the color so it looks natural lol

[@michaeld954]

in highschool i had a hard time growing the center of my chin to grow and the rest uneven so i used shampoo on my face i used pert plus so the same thing the ladies use to take care of there hair it will make your beard grow fast and full

[@Chris59783]

Some decent tips there

[@michaelherold181]

Hell yeah brother thanks for the info

[@danbrazieruk]

The eating lesson I didn't know I needed.

[@hemangteotia6284]

awesome feeling for BEARD thank you Eric

[@EricBandholz]

My pleasure man! Thanks for all the comments.

[@hemangteotia6284]

😍😍😍 For me BERAD = BREATHE Both word start from B 😉

[@Faith_Over_Fear932]

Eric Bandholz Everytime I grow out my beard , my mustache always tends to be lighter than the rest of my beard , is there any reason as to why this is , or is it just genetics ?

[@MajdBaroud]

Very Cool hacks man. By the way, you moustache is epic 😊😊😉

[@aadil14912]

I have started growing my beard for first time and all your videos from before says to clean beard 2 times a week but when I wash my face the foam is all over my beard.I use beard oil once day. should I use beard oil every time I use face wash?

[@EricBandholz]

Using a beard oil after you wash your face should help replace the oils lost through washing. Give it a shot as it won't hurt to try. If it works for you, stay with it.

[@aadil14912]

Eric Bandholz thanks Eric for reply and please launch your products in India because the beard oil here aren't as great as beard brand and I have tried you beard oil and it smells great. None of the beard oils have a great smell like yours

[@TNThornhill]

Is salt not damaging to the beard hair?

[@Beardbrand]

Salt can be dehydrating for your hair and cause damage if overused. Used in moderation you should be fine - just like jumping in the ocean isn't going to destroy your beard. Now using it multiple times a day, everyday, can cause some break downs. It's all about what you are going for and if it's worth the slight damage that may cause. But, essentially everything in life is damaging your beard once it's out of your face. It's just things to do to help minimize the damage.

[@darielobarberino2668]

I was looking for that pullover but i couldnt find it. :( i would like to know if its available anywhere. Thanks

[@Beardbrand]

It was only available for Beardbrand employees at our Celebration by Beardbrand party.

[@damiensanders670]

Or for hack 1, you could cook with hemp oil ;-)

[@eyecred4153]

Personally I love using coconut oil over anything.

[@TURKEYonWH3AT]

Fuck a whisker damn lol I love getting beer froth in my mustache. 🍺

[@bushido729]

I smoke cigarette regularly. So it can effect for growing beard?

[@arnaudjackson]

Okay 1) eating and kissing with a turtle mouth, 2) getting your head out of carapace whenever people take pictures of u, 3) immerging your head in saltwater. Now, is the next step about eating pizzas and learn some of the most important ninja techniques ? Anyway thanks for the hacks !!

[@minoxidilbeardandhairprodu4598]

Grape seed oil is a dht blocker

[@infidelnc]

I"m letting my beard grow out, way out, and my moustache is going epic as well....but I have to trim the center of my stache...my hair is very white, I never eat wings out in public ahahahaha

[@kkjthouttunkal]

im 21 years old, and have great hair growth at cheeks and under the jawline but cant get my mustache to grow fuller or longer do you have any tips eric

[@TipseyTiger1996]

Royal HD Minoxidil and dermarolling might help

[@kkjthouttunkal]

Rick Astley thank you rick

[@greod1006]

Royal HD, minoxidil and dermarolling both have side effects depending on the individual. As you are still young, you should have patience as beards thicken with age. I believe you should make do with what you have at the moment and have patience. Good luck

[@kkjthouttunkal]

the awkward beard time is really hard to get through. im gonna wait 3 more months growing naturally to see the results thanks for the support

[@JeremyFrancispiano]

Royal HD patience. Let it grow for a whole month without shaving or even trimming. After the month, shave it down. Then let it grow for another whole month. If it doesn't appear thicker than the last time, shave it down again. Repeat this process until it grows back thick. Also, drink a lot of water and get plenty of exercise. Do anything that will naturally increase your testosterone levels. And patience. My moustache never grew in thick until i was 30. (But i never intended on growing it out until then either.)

[@wagonman01]

Hey Eric, where do I pick up a shirt like yours?

[@Beardbrand]

This shirt was an exclusive print from our (CXBB) Celebration by Beardbrand party during SXSW. But we're working on some new shirts for y'all! -Josh

[@HenricksHouse]

That whisker damn is awesome, I’ll just use my drivers license though and save a few bucks!!

[@Megaboyd]

What does your wife think about kissing with that epic mustache present?

[@jakeboss6342]

Hi Eric, I noticed a video from 2 days ago named Haircut and styling for thinning hair, it says its Unavailable, what does that mean? do you have to reupload it ?

[@Beardbrand]

+Jake Boss we accidentally posted it live when it wasn't suppose to go live. It'll be up soon.

[@jakeboss6342]

Okay, thank you, I wasn't sure, I thought I wasn't able to see an awesome video lol

[@christopherwood3793]

You have a beautiful mustache

[@wandrluvst]

That mustache...damn cool
