5 Beard Washing Mistakes (& How To Fix Them)

The beginning of my journey I had no idea the correct way to cleanse my beard. It was always dry and brittle. I would overcompensate by dumping more oil on my beard than what was needed. This will accelerate beard damage. So I put together 5 beard washing mistakes I made early in my journey. Watch now.

[@freemanlove6741]

Hey B! I recently started using the Scotch Porter Brand. In regards to only using the beard wash once or twice a week, can I use the Scotch Porter conditioner as a daily cowash? Or should I use the conditioner only after using the Scotch Porter beard wash and use something else as a daily cowash between washings? Thanks for the great content!

I use Johnson’s Baby shampoo and add vitamin E and a scented essential oil in it. I then put a conditioner in the beard for the rest of the shower. The beard comes out clean, soft & hydrated every time! Great video and good advice on the hot water.

[@erickphillips8722]

Wish I would’ve seen this years after several beard cuts 😣 Right on time though just in time for the fall/winter. Great video!

[@kunleawolowo3227]

Thanks for the video. So if you wash your beard 2-3 times a week. what happens on the other days, do you abstain from water touching it? Should you wet it everyday?

[@peoplez129]

You should wash a beard every day. It just depends on the degree of washing you do. You only need to really do deep cleansing every other day. But it really depends on what you're washing with. Most soap/shampoo simply suck. It's just chemicals designed to temporarily coat your hair with something to make it shiny. He's wrong when he talks about natural oils being stripped. That's not the issue, your body readily makes tons of oils every day. The issue isn't drying out, the issue is many soaps coat the skin in something that never completely washes off. So you end up with oil remaining on your skin for too long, encased and filling your pores with these dry residues, keeping your natural oils from escaping your pores. Most soaps, especially cheap ones, are closer to dishwashing/laundry detergent, in bar form. That's NOT actually soap in the traditional sense. REAL soap isn't JUST a surfactant. Real soap reacts and binds with things. Real soap is things like fat/oil/charcoal based soap. The rise of consumerism has replaced soap with artificial chemicals that don't do the same things as classic soap. And they do that because it's simply cheaper for their bottom line of making money. Surfactants do not bind to things, but rather, push things apart by lowering the surface tension of water. It's similar in appearance to how real soap operates, but it isn't the same process as there is no binding that goes on. And most surfactants in use are artificial chemicals, not natural. Now here's the real secret, other than sulfate free shampoo/conditioner (which is more for softening hair rather than moisturizing it), one of the best bar soaps one should be using is castile soaps, because they are a vegetable oil based soap, and works great for daily beard washing. They clean quick and great, while keeping the skin oiled. If you've ever washed with the typical cheap brands of bar soap without scrubbing, you'll typically still feel oil on your skin even after rinsing, even after letting it sit a while before rinsing. This is because it's a surfactant, root word: Surface. It only affects primarily the surface, it does not react to get deep down to clean, because it doesn't bind with anything. With castile soap, you don't even need to scrub, you can just hand rub the soap on, rinse after a few seconds, and ALL the oily feel will be gone. THIS is real deep down CLEANSING that will actually open your pores and get bacteria out of them. The brand I use is called "Kirks". Also, stay away from the scented soaps. Most of them are only scented to hide the fact that they aren't actually cleaning you. Rather, the scent is meant to bind to dirt and oils to cover up odors, rather than to remove it entirely. If it's made to make odors stick to you, it's going to make dirt stick to you too. It's like spraying a pile of crap with febreeze.....there's still a pile of crap under there. This is terrible for skin/hair, because it only keeps things on your skin/hair as a buffer, things that will draw moisture from your skin/hair. Don't confuse hair softening conditioners with moisturized either. What it's doing has nothing to do with moisturization. Typically all they do is coat your hair in some slick material that has microscopic bits of silicon in it. In effect, your hair feels softer/smoother because your hair is basically covered in microscopic bits of bouncy/soft silicon that changes the feel. It does protect hair from abrasion, it does make it look shiny, but it is not moisturizing hair. Just like lotion doesn't actually moisturize, what it really does is coat the surface of skin with something that will trap in any moisture your skin naturally releases, forcing it to stay on the skin. But your hair does not release moisture/oils, rather, your hair wicks oil along its surface from your skin. So coating your hair in something does not moisturize it, it's impossible to moisturize hair, only to make hair feel softer/smoother by surface coatings, be that oil or silicon or whatever else.

What if I’m dealing with some slight beard acne? Trying to keep it clean but don’t ant to over wash and damage . I have a fairly brittle beard because I don’t wanna go cray with oils and butters because since my breakout they seem to be causing more problems! I need help.. I took the hot humid weather into account and think that it playing some role. I wash with Detroit grooming almost daily and follow with their co wash few times a week .. I got the deep exfoliation and still having trouble with painful red bumps on my jawline. I have never dealt with acne and I am bout 7 months deep into my first long beard journey? I know hair is different but any pointers or recommendations I’d love to hear it! Great beard by the way!

You can wash your beard everyday if your sweat. Being a personal trainer, it made a significant change to wash everyday I am working out.

[@LeftHoookLuke]

Great tips. Double lather is the truth. My beard never feels fully clean without it

[@molaykollie7771]

Can you inform me about which product you used for your beard

[@GainingDespair]

I've double lathered for a long time, single lather honestly never seems to go well, wash always acts super watered down and doesn't like to lather. The second time though it works well.

[@MozZombie]

I had pretty bad beard dandruff and rash, started using cerave lotion after a water wash in the morning followed with tacrolimus. At night I would use either nizoral shampoo or head and shoulders shampoo, then a conditioner I leave in for 5 minutes then wash out, then cerave lotion, and then a little beard oil that has no fragrances or essential oils.

[@MozZombie]

Also I only use cold water or lukewarm if I'm showering, my beard hair is much stronger and doesn't fall out anymore and I don't have a rash or dandruff like before.

Glad you were able to get back right!
