ALTERNATIVE to Beard Butter! Beard Hack

[@clemsonmrharri5104]

As the “Trusted Teacher,” you’ve taught me a lot of things along my bearded journey. This has to be the most beneficial. I’m able to use some of my balms that were too greasy or didn’t provide enough hold again. Also a huge benefit when traveling... can leave the butters at home. Finally, some companies do not make butters, well now they sorta do.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome to hear brotha, truly glad it helped!

[@cockyjeremy]

Slightly disappointed. When you said it was something we’d all have, I was hoping for WD40. 😂

[@DanCBearded]

Haha I will not take one for the team and try that in my beard

[@cockyjeremy]

Dan C Bearded Don’t blame you a bit. Haha.

[@beardswagbbq]

Tried it about a week, than saw Scubas vidja on freshbeards black light butter and purchased the black light line and the butter is so so good. Thanks Dan for the hack, great beardswag hacks.

[@beardswagbbq]

@@ezoo3884 amazing cologn scent reminds me a little of Love Jones from Beard Justice but black light lasts longer in beard👊

[@DanCBearded]

You're welcome!

[@FaithfullyBearded]

Saw Jeff do this once and started doing it with the blow dryer in the morning and I love it.

[@masterfury9939]

I swear dude you deserve a million more subscribers, thanks for another awesome video.

[@DanCBearded]

They are all welcome here lol send them my way buddy!

[@quadfather_]

Butter is a game changer! Thanks for this hack.

[@DanCBearded]

Agreed, butter is probably my favorite product!

[@robertdurham3594]

Definitely will try this tonight.Thanks brother

[@DanCBearded]

Hope you enjoy!

[@shookadance]

For nights where I wash the beard; I use beard jelly from Bossman. After washing the beard, even with using conditioner, I want to make sure that it can’t dry up while I’m sleeping. The beard jelly does that. I’ll wake up and the beard will be supple and feel like I put the jelly on only a few hours ago. I wash the beard maximum twice a week, depending on what’s going on in life. Always jelly after. The stuff is amazing. I wouldn’t use it to go out in public as it does leave a greasy look/feel for the first 4 hours or so, but it literally lasts forever. On days I’m just chillin at home relaxing, and I feel like the beard deserves some extra love, I’ll throw in the jelly and just chill. It’s a staple in the rotation. On nights where I don’t wash the beard I’ll use oil, wait 5min or so, and then apply butter. Sometimes you’re just craving a scent, it happens. If that happens for me, and the scent doesn’t come in a butter, I’ll just use oil, wait 5min or so, and then use balm. I haven’t tried mixing the oil and balm like this... but I will. I’ll still use a little bit of oil first, wait 5min, and then use the mixture of balm and oil. Should be interesting. Thanks for the idea DanC!

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks for the great comment!

[@steverobertbrown]

I've done the hack after watching Jeff's IG post and I like the idea. I think it's a great idea for anyone on a budget or if they simply don't care to use butter. I myself can still feel the beeswax in my beard and it's something I don't enjoy at night. Most of all, I really enjoy seeing what all the different company's come up with and seeing the creativity. I love my have a large selection of butters, and I like taking 15 minutes every night to pick out which one to wear. It makes me happy!

[@DanCBearded]

I agree with you completely Steve!

[@-Tony513-]

Studio looks beautiful brother, I actually hit the reset button on my beard just to start fresh for the warmer weather and figured I'd also be a beard supporter by regrowing it once again for the newbies out there that are thinking about growing out the lushy beard may we go through this journey together and through positivity and with the support of our fellow bearded brothers may we reach the beard goals together and not fall short of them. Definitely finding that inspiration myself through the goodfellas like you, Scuba, and David. Actually made my first Vlog of this journey a little bit ago so wish me luck as I myself strive for that big beard and perhaps through it may we inspire even new fellas to grow their beards as well, as always love watching your vlogs, always learning something new from the trusted teacher 👍

[@DanCBearded]

That is really cool to hear Tony!

[@ScottR324]

Definitely tried this method, it was actually Jeff who turned me on to this hack also. Definitely works!! Awesome job getting it out to the masses as always!! 🙏💪👊👍

[@DanCBearded]

Very cool!

[@jeffreyphillips3048]

I discovered this hack when I tried to fix my Beardbrand "lumber yard" utility balm... I couldn't bear the smell of it, so I put it in the oven (at a fairly low temp), until it melted completely and added a generous amount of oil (that I like the scent of), stirred it in, and let it firm back up. In the end it had a much softer consistency and smelled better.

[@DanCBearded]

Super interesting and nice trick!

[@GrandPonch]

I actually do this with unscented balm and samples or oils I’ve purchased that I didn’t buy the balm for. Good vid and again, your studio looks great.

[@DanCBearded]

Super smart there!

[@immothebeardedguy5759]

Interesting how this is slowly becoming popular! I did this (during the day) before I even knew what beard butter was.. In my case, it was done more out of an attempt to save time/product and not use one product more than the other, somehow it just made sense to me ( this is when I only had 2 oil bottles and one balm..ignorance is bliss sometimes, right?)

[@DanCBearded]

Seems like what you discovered works!

[@vpagliocca]

DanC!!! Since you introduced butta into my life there's been nothing to take its place! Phenomenal video of course and killer hack my man. You sir, are legend!

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks Vinny P! I am still a butter guy, don't you worry! lol

[@606pewgram]

I’ve been doing this for a few weeks now and I think it works better than butter for my beard. Great video dan!

[@DanCBearded]

Great to hear Kenny!

[@DR-un7tq]

I actually started doing this before I ever got beard butter, but now especially at night I use either Bossman beard jelly or a beard butter to hold me over until the morning, now I always use a beard oil and butter together they last a lot longer throughout the day when I'm working outside doing landscaping especially in the summer

[@seanpatterson186]

Thanks I have both and will do this until I get my actual butter . thanks yet again

[@DanCBearded]

Perfect 👊

[@rtgray7]

I do this and like it better than any butter I've tried.

[@DanCBearded]

That is awesome!

[@jonathancadwelllpc514]

Will definitely try this. I have some oils that I don't have a matching butter for but have some unscented balm. Will see how this works.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome!

[@xabirurap]

Okeiii okei learned the lesson thanks for answering everything and so quickly you are a machine thanks Dan C...

[@DanCBearded]

Any time!

[@1533ramsay]

I use oil on the beard at night and beard balm, beard oil and big finger of coco butter (equate brand) Vaseline rub it into my hands and apply to the under beard and top of beard and mould my viking beard. What's left I run in my hair then style and arms. The Vaseline works great and it cheap. It stays all day. I haven't cut my beard in over two years so it big. So I use a lot of product.....

[@DanCBearded]

Very interesting, and awesome if it works for you!

[@MarcoEscalante1]

Just watched this after the live stream!giving it a try. Thanks for all the videos they really have helped a ton

[@benjamminreviews_ben]

Started doing this a few weeks ago. Actually I do it with Detroit butter and matching oil. When my beard is feeling pretty dry it works amazing. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this with balm but that’s a great idea. I preferably don’t use balm because it too heavy for my beard feel. This should work great even with some straight sweet almond oil or jojoba. Kudos

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome Ben!!

[@michaellomazzo7776]

A big plus on that combo tried it works well

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome!

[@beardedcowboy5977]

Another awesome video Dan. I have tried this method of mixing balm and oil about a year and a half ago. This was before the Butter starting to become more popular. I believe it worked well in my beard for a nighttime routine. Then butter came along and I went with it. For me the butter keeps my beard a little more hydrated overnight and easier to prep in the morning. This is a great video as we all have had that moment when we have overstretched our bearded wallets for the month but still need that butter. Thanks Dan. Keep up the great work. 👍🏼👊🏼🔥

[@DanCBearded]

I agree Cowboy, I do like butter more

[@holeshot26]

beardbrand's utility balm is exactly that already mixed. plus some butters too.

[@DanCBearded]

Their utility balm is pretty much a butter. That is the idea of the butter lol to mimic a butter

[@MCV313]

I used to use this method when l didn't know butter was around. Plus I had to do this because of my health problems years ago. When I would put in balm my beard hair would literally get pulled out. So I had to figure this out. Ok here's the question, l was told you can't mix oil and balm together because it would leave your beard greasy. That's why l stop using products for awhile. Like I said this was years ago that l tried this. Now I have butter and my health is alot better.

[@DanCBearded]

You can totally mix them but I do believe butter is better

[@leosigman7239]

This I will do tonight and possibly ever after. All my oils are light, and my balms may be (although the difference between light and medium hold balms isn't clear to me.) I prefer butters but have a lot of balms. I use 3 drops of oil and a fingernail of balm, probably not too far from what you showed. Your video revealed two mysteries: Why didn't this occur to me, and why wasn't I subscribed to Bad Dog Beard Co.'s KZbin channel? The second mystery was quickly taken care of. Thank you very much, and thank Jeff (and others?) who told you about it!

[@DanCBearded]

How did it go for you Leo?

[@johngomez5523]

lol crazy you put this out, but i started doing this a while back , but the reason i did it. was to put the scent of an oil i liked to an unscented balm i had but once i tried it i still do it once in a while especially with oils that i have no balm combo with. i only use my strong scented oils for this but i like the consistency, for sure a great hack.

[@DanCBearded]

That is a great use of it!

[@beastsreviews9993]

Awesome. I've never tried this. I will use beard jelly put that in. Wait 5 mins then I'll go and put in some honest amish either their regular balm or their heavy duty balm. That combo is awesome on my beard. I love it.

[@DanCBearded]

For sure both great for night time

[@benjaminsutton1461]

That's a great idea! I have some oil that is too thin, so I mixed it with balm, and it works better.

[@DanCBearded]

Oh awesome!

[@BeardTasticReviews]

Was waiting on ya to do this video brother. Been doing this little over a month, and cant stop lol. It works well,in my opinion. Great video brother.

[@DanCBearded]

[@thomaswillingham1973]

Dan - solid hack I'm a fan of applying butter at night, I enjoy how my beard feels the next morning I have added oil to a medium balm to create a butter type consistency

[@saxman7131]

I’ve never tried this method. I will try it though.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome!

[@andyjustandy5897]

I've never tried this method because I absolutely love beard butter to the point that I'm looking at wearing butter during the day. Balm doesnt really do well in my beard during the day. Dan C sold me on Uncle Donnie's butter and now I have Beard Octane's on the way. Found a very small company last night and will probably be getting their butter too.

[@DanCBearded]

I loveee butter!

[@jakeboss6342]

I love using this method, but not for this purpose, mainly to to help spread a strong and hard beard balm more easier, the kind of beard balm that you need to dig in with a knife, lol

[@DanCBearded]

Another great use, for sure!

I use this when I have oils and don’t have the matching balm or butter. So I’ll pick my favorite oil and mix it with an unscented balm or butter and bam! Smell good. Feel good. Thanks for sharing this! It’s a great hack for cutting down on product and creating your own hold and texture. 👍🏼👊🏼

Love the information

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks Andy!

[@joffreybluthe7906]

Tried this for a few days and it is indeed a good idea if you don’t have access to beard butter! I did switch to the new seven potions balm however, which is pretty creamy as Dan mentioned in his review, and it works great as a night time butter!

[@congerscott6064]

Yes ! Thank you 👍🏆.

[@DanCBearded]

You're welcome!

[@michaeltoloczko5777]

Haven’t used butter before. Late afternoon, typically I’ll put oil in first then balm and that’s it

[@DanCBearded]

Give this hack a shot and let me know what you think!

[@michaeltoloczko5777]

Beard is a bit softer. Will try it over next few days

[@ModernGentleman]

I always use oil first right outta the shower, 5 mins or so to soak into the skin, then immediately follow with balm. I assume it probably has about the same effect. I have a pretty course beard naturally and this method keeps it feeling great. I also sometimes reapply balm maybe once throughout the day. Studio looks amazing brother 👍

[@DanCBearded]

It is actually a totally different effect! You would have to give it a try to see what I am talking about. It creates a different feel when they are combined

[@ModernGentleman]

@@DanCBearded oh I'm certainly going to give it a try. I think I'm going to try it with rocky mountain barber co. cedarwood oil and balm. Their balm is super soft already too

[@jeffreytaylor6083]

Certainly going to try this !

[@DanCBearded]

Howd it go?

[@jeffreytaylor6083]

Worked pretty well, not quite “buttery” enough, but works well.

[@scottmichaud4002]

I haven't tried this, mostly because I have beard butters I use at night already, but this is an awesome hack that would work well! 👍

[@DanCBearded]

For sure, I am still a butter guy!

[@IB08Sahara]

Awesome hack Dan! Now I'll probably enjoy the Honest Amish balm doing it this way. Bought the oil & balm bout 6 months ago, but only used the balm bout 2x or 3x because this white beard loves butter instead. Thank you pal as always, you the bomb brother

[@GoneFisting69]

Can also just get some shea butter or whatever kind you prefer, mix in some oil, boom...waxless beard butter.

[@DanCBearded]

Yup, but the idea of this was using what products they already had and were not using

For sure! Mike was one of the people I have learned it from

[@None2Lose]

Hey Dan, thank you for this suggestion from last nights Live Stream. I'm really not sure why I didn't buy a butta for this oil, especially since it's a lavender scent. Now that I know about the complete hack, I'll have to give it a try next time I pull out this oil.

Good to know. I don't know that I will ever be out of butter, but I will remember this. Oil and butter are my things. I haven't used balm or wax in a while since my beard has gotten pretty long. I could never go without butter though.

[@DanCBearded]

I agree!

[@TreeJacob]

Use this method often. Great for thinning out the heavier balms or scenting the neutral ones as well.

[@DanCBearded]

Very cool to hear!

[@shokknawe]

Saw Jeff in his bad dog video and use this often. Usually do octane butter after a wash day then after that I switch over to this method. Makes sense in my head after a wash not immediately adding any bees wax.

[@DanCBearded]

I agree! I stay way from wax after a wash too 👊 leave the pores open

[@larrycook34]

Say bro I mixed oil and balm in a 1 oz can and left it over night and it's just like beard jelly I use it and it works good for me thanks again keep it up great job

Thanks Dan, I’ve been using the “eye dropper” caster oil w/rosemary application. Don’t believe I’m going about washing, twice a week right. Although I cowash everyday. Pretty dense 9 month beard. Definitely going to give a try, w/the thinner oil and lighter balm.

I use honest Amish original balm instead of a butter. It is a conditioner and protector for the beard. Not to break my arm but it's cheap and my beard is soft like angel hair!! Peace!!!
