@@DanCBearded which way is optimal to brush the mustache as I see you brush and comb yours away I brush and comb mine straight down.

[@funkdaddy3.0]

Once I started on making aspects of my beard look on purpose, I started receiving compliments on my beard. My morning routine takes a little over eight minutes and look at it as not "wasted time" but showing my beard some love.

[@DanCBearded]

There is a huge difference when that happens! It almost gives people permission to let their guard down to give you a compliment. They can tell you care and try

[@PatrickSmeaton]

I don't have nearly the thickness in my sideburns as you, but I tried using the heated brush (same one you have) doing the same thing you did in the video. Then I asked Shari if she noticed a difference. She immediately noticed that the sideburns laid down more. Can't beat immediate results! 😎

[@DanCBearded]

That’s fantastic Patrick!

[@calicogrinderman]

awesome!!! as always i stumble onto the necessary video when needed.. just got a blowdryer and only used it 3x and not getting the desired effect like when i use a heated brush.. but the brush wasnt giving me the volume. now i see what i was doing wrong.. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Glad you enjoyed it! thanks!

[@JimboSRP]

I use a blowdryer but a heated brush is a new idea for me, thanks. Just with the moustache, mine also grows quickly. I've gone with it, a bit like when you say length and gravity will sort out beard hair - I have found it does the same with the moustache a bit. Those little ones you trim are so long they are part of the pack and just go over to the side when I brush nowadays. Makes an epic looking moustache (in my opinion of course!)

[@xabirurap]

I do not have a beard as smooth as you but today I have done a similar process and with the dryer and the heating comb and the result is excellent thanks Dan.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome, I am glad it helped!

[@reubenk7331]

Thanks for showing us your method for doing both! Also good to hear that you have to do those hairs right at the lip line too. I try to let them go sometimes so I can swipe them to the side, but they really have a mind of their own.

[@DanCBearded]

For sure! Still pretty much the same method still to this day. I will make an updated routine video very soon

[@EmbraceTheBeardLife]

I've actually been doing this as of recently as well. Getting back into the office I've needed to correct the side beard shape a little like you said to show that each piece has purpose. Great video Dan!

[@gusthomas]

Best technique for me is blow dry multi direction. Right to left, left to right, up over my face and then down. Do this with a detangle brush and follow the brush with the dryer. Each direction I pick it out a little at a time in the opposite direction. Smooth with a few seconds of heat brush and it's fairly straight and very tidy.

[@DanCBearded]

Sounds like you have it down!

[@adambellesheim5706]

Every now and then I wake up and do literally nothing to my beard. Obviously on a day I won’t be seeing too many people. But it’s nice to give my beard a break, by the next day I feel so rejuvenated and healthy, it’s like a beard reset and my beard thanks me haha

[@DanCBearded]

That is awesome! I cannot do that, but I will go with lazy days where I go oil only

[@Arithorath]

I tried this method this morning. Thanks for the great technique! This works way better than what I had been doing.

[@DanCBearded]

That is awesome to hear!!

[@joffreybluthe7906]

I’m not trying to be nitpicking here but since I know you like to learn stuff I thought I would let you know that BaByliss is actually a French company, created in my neighborhood in the 60s, and in France we don’t pronounce the "BaBy" part as in the word baby, the "a" is pronounced as in "bat" I know it doesn’t make much sense but I checked on KZbin and I found a number of English speakers who pronounce it like us ^^ Sometimes French people like to take foreign words and pronounce it however they like lol

[@DanCBearded]

Oh I’m terrible with pronouncing. I actually looked this up and found every which way to pronounce it. From my findings, both ways are acceptable, but your way is certainly the more authentically correctly

[@joffreybluthe7906]

@@DanCBearded I should have known that you had done your research ;) It’s actually not you that’s terrible in this case but the French 😂 Try asking a French person to pronounce “Keanu Reeves” and you’re in for a treat!

[@theofficialken1755]

Giving us mustache envy😂. I use blow-dryer and heated brush every day, basically in same areas. I get my beard pretty straight, then let the Maui humidity do it's work and give it some curl and texture back.

[@DanCBearded]

Sounds like perfect balance!

[@jasonduggan2987]

I really like to look intentional with my style. I use the blow dryer with the heated brush (for the same areas as you) probably 350 days out of the year. I will then finish up by going over everything with the large boar bristle brush to give it that tight velcro like hold, and help eliminate a need for balm. Works great for my beard.

[@DanCBearded]

Heck yes it does work great!

[@bakerbbq221]

Just a heated brush right now since my beard is short. When it is longer I use a blow dryer to get it reset(about every 4 day) and then a heated brush for daily routine.

[@DanCBearded]

Fantastic!

[@Irishtwinbeads282]

I have been using a blow dryer most days and a Heated brush a couple days a week. It def helps. I am at 6 month mark of the Yeard now. Only issue I have is wearing a mask 10-12 hours a day at work just kills my beard. It looks great before I put the mask on.

[@DanCBearded]

I am soooo ready to be done with a mask. I hear that!

Thank you for the update. I have been been curious about how the routine after changing to Chicago Combs. It was also a great refresher for the blowout beard. I have used both. The cheap Vikicon was too hot to the touch and wasn't for me. I definitely use the blow-dryer. I don't have a fancy one, so I do high and hold it farther away. Thank you again DanC‼️

[@DanCBearded]

The #8 is a game changer!

[@matthewmagda4971]

This was incredible! I've never tried this technique but I would now after seeing how it's done. Thanks Coach!!

[@DanCBearded]

Let me know how it goes if you do try it!

[@jumpmaster_edc664]

I use both pretty much every day or at least the days I was my beard and feel like I’m straightening all over again from the start. I have a wildly curly beard and prefer it much straighter so it takes some heat and coaxing to get it into place. I tend to use the heat brush first all over to take the curls and then the blow dryer for finalizing the style

[@DanCBearded]

That’s awesome! Sounds like you have it dialed in

[@Aric.with.an.A]

Awesome buddy!! I do the same with the blow dryer, but now I will try the addition with the heated brush. 👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻

[@DanCBearded]

The targeted spots help soooo much!

Hey Dan, in your “Beard Sticking Out” video, you mentioned that the heated brush and the blowdryer are two options. But you do use both. What if I could only use one? 😊

[@DanCBearded]

Totally personal preference based on many personal variables

[@inthestreetswithsteve5013]

Needed this! At six months of growth my side burns don't have gravity yet so thats my problem area. It looks wild and transparent so I need to start straightening it into the beard and possibly using a butter or balm for slight hold.

[@DanCBearded]

Always a changing game!

[@vpovince1001]

I just tried the heated brush for the second time. The lazy mustache staying out of my way and looks nice. I did not do good on sides all the long beard hair was coming up too. My second try with the hairdryer also today and my fork is more pronounced than ever. I tried going under beard for body and my beard went off to the side no matter what I tried but will give it another try one day soon.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome, keep going! Truly is about trial and error

[@e.m.8094]

My (10in beard) routine is very similar, but I use a concentrater nozzle on my mustache and blow it upward and out while combing with a fine tooth. I have yet to use my heated brush, but I'll have to give it a try.

[@DanCBearded]

Let me know what you think!

[@BEARDED_VATO]

I prefer the blower over the brush, my beard gets to thin of a look with the brush, the blower gives me enough heat to control the waves and dips.

[@DanCBearded]

I only like the brush in those targeted areas right now. It is the perfect balance for me

[@vampiero69]

[@DanCBearded]

1) I comb in the shower, yes 2) I comb out of the shower, but try not to comb dry. Damp is ideal 2) oil on a damp beard, comb through, wait 3-5 minutes, Heat optional, butter or balm

[@jasonbrazzell2313]

@@DanCBearded 🤣🤣

[@stephenshelton4267]

I no longer trust a heated comb. In 2019 I used a heated comb a lot and dyed my beard, I was not aggressive and used low temp settings and my beard developed all sorts of knots and if I ran my beard through my fist it puffed out the last inch or so. At the end of 2019 I stopped dying and using that comb. In 2020 I did some aggressive trimming to get rid of the dyed hair. Now in 2021 I have the length I had in 2019 and none of the problems I had at that time. I think the comb's cumulative effects on beard hair is dangerous and I believe these devices should only be used on medium length beards where the hair is long enough to show the straightening effects, but kept short enough that the hair is cut off before severe damage is seen.
