BEST way to apply Beard BALM!

[@TheBeardedOutdoorsman18]

So I have been trying this method daily since watching this video and had to come back to comment. I will say that watching the video I was skeptical, only because it doesn't look like you are applying enough balm. But I was wrong, don't tell my wife, and this method works very well. It is now part of my daily routine. Thanks for sharing.

[@ericsilver5603]

Josh O: I agree with the comment 100%. Let me say that I think you have to start with a great beard-then grooming it the right way will yield the terrific results that Dan gets. My beard is curly, and shoots out in all directions, so that when I follow Dan’s instructions, I get a very nicely hydrated, oiled and balmed beard with curly hair that shoots out in all directions. Sigh. You’ve got to start with the right kind of beard, and I’ve pretty well accepted that in my case, what you see is what you get

[@maxgunn8915]

[@maxgunn8915]

@@DanCBearded I’ll add this, I normally only use a balm if I’m going to work or for date nights, usually after I straighten. Though I’ve used it without straightening and I’ve found that my beard appears fuller (more full?) throughout the day vs just using my oils.

[@keithnicholson9100]

I have to say I'm now doing the same routine as Dan both at night and morning and my beard looks and feels great.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome!

[@4drumz-662]

Yes sir... always oil under and balm to style and hold on the surface. I do reapply but it may be due to the coarseness of my grey/white that just starts to kind of push out the density over the course of the day. I’ve started actually combining just a little balm and oil together for a work through application when I reapply late afternoon and early evening. On busy evenings due to family and life I can even skip a nighttime routine and the beard stays fresh overnight from that application

[@DanCBearded]

That's awesome!

[@alejandrotobienne584]

Agree outside structure holds inner workings. Deff addresses balm build up issue.

[@mikecardo]

I find that my beard is at a really awkward stage. It's about 4 inches, but the sides are not growing as quickly as the front, and it's a gray beard (more salt than pepper). The side hairs want to stick out on the one side of my beard and applying just to the outside of the beard doesn't seem to hold them in place yet. I find that I still need to apply the balm to the underneath hairs on the sides to aid in the styling and to help me resist the urge to cut away the fly-aways. Once they are long enough, I'll switch to the outside coat of Balm. Thanks for your most excellent coaching on all things beard.

[@DanCBearded]

That makes a lot of sense and sounds like you have found what works for you right now!

[@wcmauldin81]

I have been doing this for about a week now. I use less balm and get the same hold on throughout the day.

[@jasonwondersoutdoors3702]

I have tried this & it works for me at night. I shower at night so this is perfect. However, I find the opposite way works best for me in the morning. Balm first, then oil on top of that applied about an hour or so after the oil. I wake up super early & go to work so I don’t have much time for a morning routine. I just find that one way works best in the morning & another way works best in the evening. Keep up the great work & cheers to 2019!!

[@DanCBearded]

Very interesting Jason! Each beard is different, so I bet that is awesome for your beard! Just makes sure the oil is getting to the skin after you have balm on, because that is the purpose of the oil

[@ronwissinger2678]

Have been using the honest amish oils and balm it seems like the balm really softens my beard nicely . I am new to beard products and find your videos helpful thanks for all the info 👍

[@DanCBearded]

That is super awesome to hear, thank you!! Honest amish is pure quality!

[@jasonschwanke916]

Good video! This is exactly how I do it. I have a very similar morning beard routine to you, just minus the blow drying. Shower (water only most days, only wash beard twice per week), towel dry, comb, wait a few min, towel dry again, comb again, apply oil making sure to rub into skin and all throughout beard, boars hair brush (favorite part because it feels so good lol), wait a few minutes, apply balm to outer layer of beard exactly as you showed here. Works great for me, but maybe not for others. That is one of the coolest things about beards... everyone's beard is different and everyone may have their own "best practices" for how to maintain and style theirs! I still have yet to try co-washing or your night time routine... need to get on that.

I personally go in first with oil and then apply butter throughout the beard. No balm. My beard is at the 2.5 month stage right now, I think once I get another month or two on it I’ll start using balm. Don’t really need as much hold right now!

[@DanCBearded]

Sounds like a plan! Check back when you get that need for hold

[@travismetcalf5903]

I do basically the same with the exception of going back with the hair dryer set to cool. Then I add a tad more oil just for the smell. But with that said, my beard has a tad more curls and a little shorter so it doesn't lay down quite as nice as yours.

I would say my beard is at or almost at the length of yours in this video. I know you stopped using balm as the beard has grown. I have these constant flyaways by the end of the day so wanted a refresh on balm application. I’m happy to have found this one from a couple years ago. I will try this method for a while, use the correct amount (was using too little), and wait until after I am dressed to balm it up. Only question, does the beard need to be damp while applying balm? But he time I dress it’s almost dry. Thanks and much love and respect as always.

This is probably the best place to ask... how important is it to my beats health? I always buy oil and balm together, but I'm starting to not like the feeling of the balm at the middle of the work day. I've been toying the idea of oil only, especially with jelly.

@@DanCBearded I experienced the opposite! It made my beard stick out and more bushier as if my hair was thicker! Maybe it was the balm or the quantity used? Like you say every beard is different!

[@DanCBearded]

@@enqrob super interesting!

[@mr.marquis9081]

If you use balm on a specific day and usually apply butter every night as you say. . Do you wash it out first? Or rinse it out?

[@mr.marquis9081]

Thank you In advance

[@DanCBearded]

I rarely use balm these days, but yes I would wear it in the morning and rinse/wash out before butter

[@NlghtHawk]

So do you hit up the oil first, that its all throughout and then use the balm just on the overlying surface?

[@DanCBearded]

Exactly!

[@CruiserDabney21]

Thank you Dan C really worked well for me, now that my beard is longer and thicker now days ,I'm 21 so it grows more and more everyday , but I always watch you an really appreciate the great advice you give.I lean more everyday from you .Thank you

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome to hear!

[@kylesustin1122]

Hey Dan, do you think you have much success with the balm on the top only method because your beard is so long and thick? Do you think for someone with a moderately long beard won’t see the same success? Thanks brother!

[@DanCBearded]

That is a really good question, and I am not sure of the answer. I do have buddies with thinner beards that use this method and they really prefer it.

Thought I was going to be enlightened. Instead, it turns out I do exactly the same thing. Great minds think alike. 😁 Keep up the great videos.

[@DanCBearded]

I did so this method in my morning routine video so a lot of people subconsciously made the switch after watching that video lol but I thought it deserved its own dedicated video. Glad we have the same method 👊

[@realracing3player440]

Dan, I always use this method, it's my way for balm But great to share it so other people knows how to control their beards ;)

[@DanCBearded]

That's great! Most do not

[@dipietski]

Thank you Dan! I was doing it wrong

[@dougefresh5793]

I apply balm in the same manner, but prefer a stiff balm. Have you ever done research on how beard hair compares to head hair? There has to be a difference in the two hairs shape, or how they form? Round vs flat shape? I don't know but I bet the trusted teacher might know. Have a good day!

[@DanCBearded]

I have, yes! And why it's curly and all of that. I certainly have some videos planned. Even why head lice cannot live in beard!

[@dougefresh5793]

@@DanCBearded Awesome I guessed you have done the research. I remember a few things from biology class, and hairs do have different shapes etc. I look forward to you having a class, on this subject, for all of us. 🏆
