Gray beards - Info & Tips!

[@p-millz]

The combing up and using my hands to go down is a game changer....Thank's Dan

[@tellege08]

Sporting a gray beard for a while now, i find that castor oil is my go to for control, And gravity do the work for length. Thanks Dan for the info on the gray beard!

[@Curbycopas4642]

I use castor oil also

[@DanCBearded]

Great to hear!

[@Curbycopas4642]

Castor oil straightened my beard hair also

[@junkyard-p1s]

Caster oil is the only one I don't like. Its like motor oil. It's thick like honey. But if its good for the beard,I will put it on 30 minutes before a morning shower. Maybe once a month.

[@GregoryHunt-y6s]

The long white beard is glorious and beautiful.

Facts!

[@thebeardedpara1031]

This is the video I’ve been waiting for. Absolutely smashed it ! I love my grey beard. I wash it more often with a mild shampoo to prevent any discolouration due to food, environment etc. I keep it bright and I’m very proud of it. (And people assume you know stuff ! )

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome to hear, thank you buddy!!

As most can see, mine is pretty much gray as can get. I will say this using your tips. 1 - The biotin/jello/collagen vitamins daily have made it grow twice as fast as it used to. 2 - Just started cold water rinsing and it now lays down a lot easier and straighter. 3 - It must be the castor oil that I never realized because my now #1 go too that has taken this thing from frizzy to smooth and blowing in the wind is - I have been using your "Butter Hack" and been taking a thumbnail full of Honest Amish Beard Balm and hitting/mixing a squirt of Always Beardiful Sea Captain in with it at night and nothing has worked better on taming my scrubble. I may smell like walking into a Fine Florist Shop, but I sleep like a teenager and wake up fresh and ready to go. I didn't really realize (or shameful on me that I don't really read the ingredients as I should) that Always Beardiful has castor oil in it and buy it because it does work great and I really enjoy their stuff and hey it's cheap so hard to go wrong with it. I do the same thing lately in the morning with their Texas Ranger and the Honest Amish Balm. But all in all I found your Butter Hack to work the best out of anything I have tried and now I understand why, and thanks for all the wealth of knowledge on this subject. Also others that seem to work for that best in beard have been Man Beard Co and Chesapeake Beard Co oils, though I don't see Castor Oil in their ingredients but those seem to be the best in beard feel for my gray until I tried your hack.

[@DanCBearded]

Man, thanks for watching my video and actually trying my tips! That means a lot to me

[@natc2191]

I'm 43. My beard has been white, for about 5 years, already. It's tough to control. This video is very informative. Thanks for the tips!

[@DanCBearded]

You are welcome!!

[@wmh327]

You absolutely NAILED every single thing that I do with my "quad" colored black, red, gray/white(75%) beard. From the castor oil, drying forward and up, and embracing it. I love the white in my beard. I have not taken off any length besides a few white ones that seem to grow faster than the rest and I will be looking into the hot oil and bag moisturizing treatment. Haven't tried that yet. 5 years in September and still slowly growing!

Haha, got a few....grey or silver hairs! I was peppered with grey hair in the Army at 27 years old. Medically retired after 10 years of service and have a full silver beard, I love it though. Good content Dan.

[@DanCBearded]

Thank you for your service! And grow that puppy out

[@wmpsouders]

Awesome video. Thanks so much for covering this. For my white beard the combing up then using the hands downward is my go to move. Castor oil real good to know. What helps me most is condition every day (scotch porter). Wash on the 4th day. Oil and balm of course. But I now use Detroit Grooming Co butter every evening. When I wake my beard is so soft and looks so good I dread showering it all out. But gotta bathe lol.

[@DanCBearded]

That is great to hear!

[@verybigkittens7550]

Great beard.

[@mikeoconnor1726]

How about just Scotch….?

[@Crabfather]

I can absolutely confirm the benefit of a nice wax. Just got some Valhalla beeswax based stuff last week after trying to avoid waxes since I started the journey and it has been a quantum leap in making the (numerous) greys manageable. Used it once and they felt soft, easier to style and just healthier feeling for days, and somehow it didn't block oils. Castor is definitely good too, thinner beard oils don't do a lot in my experience. You're the man Dan!

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks Duke!

[@jeremiahjohnson4485]

Great video! Thanks so much for information. As someone who started finding gray hair by the time I was 16 by the time I was able to grow the freedom beard at 30 things were pretty salt and peppered. 9 short years later I’m almost entirely gray except for a small sporadic hairs around my sideburns.

[@DanCBearded]

I bet it’s awesome and thank you for your service!

[@Beardyvlogger]

Great vid. I find the whites are always way longer and thicker/stronger. I used to pluck them and have since stopped. They're always harder to pluck. And out of nowhere they go from like 1/8th inch to seemingly 5 inches overnight lol

[@DanCBearded]

Haha they are wild!

[@davebardsley278]

I just started using Castor oil the other day. Adding a couple of drops to my daily regimen. White hairs are crazy

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome!

[@beardswagbbq]

Great stuff brother. Thanks for explanation I dont bother doing any different than I normally would in my morning routine, I just make sure to oil and balm during daytime and use a butter at night that has no wax to condition all night. Wash my beard about 2 times a week to keep the natural build up going and co wash the same time. Have a great weekend community.🤙❤🤙

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks buddy!

[@reubenk7331]

Good to know! I have a few white hairs and I find it interesting how they are thinner, softer, and they seem to "stretch" when pulled. I can definitely tell their structure is very different. This must be why white beards are softer.

I’m glad I found this video; I’m sure it will improve the look and feel of my gray beard. I’ve enjoyed using henna to dye my beard because of the control it affords, but it’s time to ‘be authentic’ and go gray. I’m going to get castor oil by itself and add a drop or two to my beard oils that do not contain castor as a carrier. Thanks Dan for addressing this issue.

[@DanCBearded]

You got it! Rock that beastly beard

[@douglaswhite1346]

I use shampoo and conditioner for beards and oil after but I really don’t have any problems with my gray. I will blow dry pushing my beard up and then push-curl it down to help with the fuller effect and works great. And thanks for the tips, if I have those problems in the future I will work on it.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome!

[@jackchisnall9316]

I find adding hydration to my beard before applying product helps, so if I haven't just showered I use a spray bottle to wet my beard. I also braid my beard which helps control those unruly grey hairs.

[@blazingbeardproducts2845]

Hahaha, did you count those 100 grey hairs. Awesome video for us grey Beards. Blow drying after using a light leave in conditioner helps control mine. Also find that lanolin based balms help weigh down and condition really well. Cowash daily, butter at night. But you're right, length solves the majority of problems.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome add ons, thank you!

[@doylesanders]

Hey Dan C, Another great video! I've had a gray goatee since I was in my early 30s, - let's just say for several years now. I have had a full white beard for 6 months now, experiencing many of the challenges you pointed out. Daily co-wash with 1 or 2 full beard washes a week has been the best solution so far. I have also found beard butter helps alot. Thanks for sharing on this topic that most beardsmen will eventually have to deal with. Keep up the great work and service to the bearded community!

I’m 64 and growing my first beard. It’s all gray/white, with very very few dark hairs. I don’t have bearded friends or family. I didn’t know that colored hairs had a different texture than colored ones. I use conditioner whenever I shampoo. Use beard oil daily. Use beard butter after shower and before bed. Since I’ve never touched any other man’s beard, I don’t really know if mine is dry or not. I’ll look into deep conditioning and moisturizing.

Awesome knowledge brother 👊. 100% correct on dna. It's a run in the family thing. Not saying I have gray hair...lol. I find that the gray is more course but can be managed. I have family and friends ask how my stay so gray and white. I tell them it's where I don't smoke because they smoke they have a yellow tint to their beards. Staying on top of your beard and keeping it moisturized with a heavier oil is key to me. Heavy in castor oil or aloe seems to work best. Love to research and knowledge you put into this brother. Thanks for making this a topic in your video.👊

Thank you so much!!

90% grey now. I have tried a lot of beard products, and I have found that beard octane is the one for me. Rocking Citrafella right now. By using their beard oil, waiting ... Beard balm and styling . And every night, using the great beard buta . Everything seems to come together. And last time, I was rocking liquid gold.... Maybe I would like everything that Joe has ? Anyway. My wife loves them too.

[@Discerner1999]

I have a full thick grey beard. It’s not quite the length of Dans. It’s at just over 6 months. I cowash daily and after exfoliating my facial skin in the shower I use Black Jamaican Castor oil. Later in the day I use Jojoba oil and in the evening I use Shea Butter. Occasionally I will use VO5 leave in conditioner or a beard balm. Seems to work for my grey beard. I would never color my beard because I embrace the natural look. As Dan said the heavier oils are better for grey beards.

[@kwadams11]

I have a long gray beard and they are difficult at times, especially when I'm riding my Harley. I make my own beard oil and use lots of castor oil in my product. I also use a heated brush after my beard oil application. It helps to lay the beard hairs down and makes them manageable. Another product I use is beard butter after the heated brush. It keeps everything in place better.

[@funkdaddy3.0]

The struggle is real. Trying to manage gray beard hair is like trying control a roomful of toddlers or herding cats. I have more salt than pepper and instinctually have been leaning towards heavier oils and less frequent washing with stripping washes. Actually, I have been using Fable Beard Co The Barkeep with some success (seems to be a mildly stripping wash). Thanks to everyone I'll now be trying deep conditioning. New to bearding, only four months in, and I have been met with favorable responses from strangers. I'm going to let it grow until the fork becomes unmanageable, it appears that I have a patch right above my adams apple and my chin hair is really slow growing. So from what I've researched it's going to equal a fork.

Dan! I was really hoping you were going to share some ancient secret. 😁 Seeing as I only started growing out my beard last October, it’s been gray from the get go. And for a good while I was really frustrated because they wouldn’t lay down. Now that I have some decent length I can attest to your last tip. These things are like Velcro. That’s good and bad since it also makes it more difficult to comb through. I don’t think any of the oils I use have castor in them so I make look into that. I also have not tried the hot oil thing either. I may look into that in the future. As always, thank you for putting in the time and work to pump out these videos! You da man!

[@Vdubkillertodd]

Thank you for the informative video. As you can tell by my profile pic my beard is 98% white. My daily routine is I wash it every morning with Mountaineer beard wash (wv coal scent), then I use Paul Mitchell conditioner (The Conditioner, its a leave in conditioner) leave that in while I finish showering, the use about a quarter size amount and massage it into my beard thoroughly, leave it in gently pat dry my beard, then with light heat I’ll blow dry from underneath my beard, with light heat I’ll blow dry it straight down, turn the heat up and with a round brush I’ll brush from underneath and apply more heat as I’m straightening my beard and following the brush with the blow dryer. After that I apply Beardbrand Old Money oil, starting from the follicle out to the ends (making sure the ends get plenty of oil), finish getting ready for the day, then I’ll apply about an index fingertip dollop of Beardbrand Old Money utility balm. And I ha e an extra bottle of Old Money oil I keep in my pocket to reapply several times throughout the day. This routine works perfectly for me and my Santa replica beard. Hope some of my tips will help any of the guys with a white, or graying beard (any color beard). As George Bruno aka “The Sultan Of Silver” has quoted before, “let it grow, and let it flow”. I’m at 18 months now and I do go to a beard salon every 3 weeks for a haircut and beard trim. Beard on my bearded brothers!

[@leosigman7239]

Happy to know my white hairs are supposed to be thin. While "deep conditioning" techniques don't appeal to me, I do co-wash, apply leave-in conditioner, oil, and balm or butter. Balms and many butters have some wax (although I've preferred less). I comb up-and-out, then down. I'll see if hands-down makes a difference. Even my long white whiskers are curled; the black ones are curled or zig-zagged. I may try a heavy, castor-oil-based oil although I wasn't impressed with using U.S.P Castor Oil or beard oils with castor oil as their last carrier. I think white whiskers still benefit from light, penetrating oils. I keep my beard at 3.5 to 4 inches. Most of the fly-aways are on the sides where letting them grow long makes for a poor appearance. Good suggestions, but I don't know if I'm ready to revise just about everything I do.

Great tips, Bro. My beard starting popping a couple gray hairs about 3 years ago. Today, I have pockets of them scattered throughout. They definitely stick out from time to time, but I use the beard butters from live bearded and they tend to keep everything tame and conditioned. Every once in a while though, there's just nothing you can do. Fortunately, I have a very thick, very curly beard and 9 times out of 10, I can just push the gray hair into the others and they keep them down.

[@shookadance]

👍. I remember when I first saw gray hairs on my head. I was in my teens and was like wtf... I would pluck them out. Fast forward to now; I embrace them! It’s all part of the process. It happens. I only have a few gray hairs around the ears on my head and it’s not noticeable at all since my head hair has so much volume, it’s so damn thick. In the beard itself, I’ve got 2 gray hairs. They’re buried under the rest of my beard. A lot of the time, you’re the only one that’s going to notice these small details. You’re constantly looking at your beard, dissecting every single inch of it. Don’t worry about it, it’s all good! I LOVE Castor Oil. One of my very favorite oils. I always look for it when I’m looking at the ingredients list. I love the way it feels in the beard. For me personally, it just really absorbs well and coats the hair well. Gives my beard some more volume and I love it! Love the tips you gave out, all very well thought out. I think the best tip is to embrace it.. just go with it. It’s nothing to be ashamed of!

My gray is pretty much white and it’s dense in the chin area but a blend of auburnish brown and gray for the mustache and what would the mutton chops if that’s where I saved it. Strange thing about my facial hair is it tends to be Auburnish before the gray came in and the hair on top of my head is dark brown. I love my gray beard. Also there is very little gray up top.

Gray/Silver v White Beards Difference?

[@DanCBearded]

[@TheBeardedShark]

Thanks Mo!

[@Jestxs]

thank you brother, i just did a huge shave and i uncovered a grey patch that had grown x4 in 6 months, i’m only 29, and this video made me feel so much better about it!

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome! I'm glad this helped 👊

[@simongillespie379]

Great video Dan! Lots of good tips there. I have a couple of grey patches at the front of mine. I do find thicker oils seem to work better. I didn’t know that about castor oil though. I will have to check out which oils have it. Grey hairs are definatly a lot harder to control than the others, they seem to stick up out of nowhere! Lol. Thanks for the helpful info! :)

[@DanCBearded]

You're welcome brotha!

Just watched your most recent styling video and THEN I came here. I think this is more the vid for me, but the question I asked there is still applicable! Thanks for us salt and pepper or all salt guys for this vid! I've seen the deep conditioning videos, and dang, that's a lot of steps. Food for thought.

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks Joe! I will checkout that question 👊

[@lilrockfromga5092]

Good info, I tried the castor oil with mango and it turned by beard a light color, lol, so I needed to get the plain castor oil. I have to try and maintain the knots that I get.

[@DanCBearded]

For sure try the plain

[@macinius4564]

Heard balm helps with grey hair

[@DanCBearded]

Yes, especially with castor oil

[@jamesnorton2484]

I am about 4 months into my yeard. I have some gray in my sideburns and alot on my chin. The ones on my chin do their own thing and are really wavy and like to stay separate from the rest of the beard. It can be frustrating at times.

[@DanCBearded]

No doubt about it, they have a mind of their own
