[@AndrewCarlisle11B]

I've thought about doing a mid day routine on my lunchbreak as the heat from work, especially in front of the gyro machine, messes it up like crazy.

[@DanCBearded]

It doesn't hurt!

[@jmuhr8952]

After the oil and butter only video I have to admit I thought you were crazy. I’ve always thought I needed a heavy balm or even wax to get the look I wanted. I’m glad to say I was dead wrong. After just a week of oil and beard butter I am convinced it’s the best way to go. Same look as before but so much softer and easier to maintain through the day. I can even run a comb through after all night of working with no snags. Glad I stumbled upon your channel and after years of struggle and tons of money spent on balm and wax I feel free. Thanks for the great videos.

[@DanCBearded]

Man, that is so awesome to hear!!!

[@junkyard-p1s]

Once in awhile during the day, I might apply a little oil. But notcthat often. Usually Im good with beard oil right after morning shower everyday. Then a beard butter at night right before bed.

[@DanCBearded]

Same here!

[@reubenk7331]

I was combing in the middle of the day, or on the way home, with a dry beard. I had increased shedding and then I talked with you and realized how bad it was. I liked how it "reset" everything and added volume, but now I just used my hands if I need to adjust. I definitely enjoy floral scents as well. Basically any scent that you like, I enjoy as well. I think the only time I use balm now, is if we are doing photos or I want to keep the sides a little more tamed. I really like Dr. Nicks where I can apply the balm directly, and not have it all over my hands as another thing I have to wash off. I do find I get a really small amount of styling from Nicks butter, but If I use any in the morning, it is a really small amount.

My mid day routine I just use my hand especially when I'm at work just to keep my beard looking neat throughout the work day.After your tip of just using oil during the day and butter at night I've found my beard is softer than before.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome! I rarely ever have a midday routine these days

[@leosigman7239]

I'm with you. Hands only. I do carry a wide-toothed wood comb "for emergencies", but hands will even remove stray food particles. I just may stop carrying the comb (probably a day before I need it).

[@victorsellarole994]

After watching an obscene amount of your videos (lol) I've figured out that what works for me the best is warm shower at night, followed by a heavy oil and heavier beard butter (Fable or Detroit). In the morning, cold rinse, and more oil-based beard butter only (Husky, Royal, or Beard Octane). I've found that reapplying oil in the morning hasn't been necessary when applying a heavier oil (Bahawat or Amish) and heavier butter after a shower at night. Thanks for all the great content.

[@DanCBearded]

That’s what it’s all about! Taking info and seeing what works for you, through an educated rural and error. I love it!

[@TreeJacob]

My beard is very curly and I work in a body shop in the Alabama heat and humidity. Many days I will spray or mist my beard with water just enough to soften it up and make it easy to comb with a wide tooth comb or pick. Just a little more product. Usually butter or a light balm. Thanks for another great video Teach 🍻

[@williamreeder2811]

I have friends that keep a spray bottle with distilled water and spray their beards but I haven't tried it myself.

[@TreeJacob]

@@williamreeder2811 I actually use distilled myself. Just feels better in beard.

[@funkdaddy3.0]

Thanks for the video Dan. Yay, for opposable thumbs. After I started the cold rinse, oil in the morning and butter at night, there isn't much my beard needs at mid-day. If I'm going anywhere public, I'll use a comb before getting out of my truck to present a good beard image (we are all beard ambassadors). At the end of the day, late afternoon, my beard gets a through combing. Then bedtime butta. Repeat.

[@calvincollison9182]

Wah! I envy that beard brother!

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks brotha!

[@phoenix2749]

For me, I do your morning routine but on work days I'll also apply wax to help the edges of my beard keep their shape. I'll also do you night time routine but I'll go an extra step and use beard oil and butter. So far it works well for me.

[@DanCBearded]

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks Matthew!

[@OstranderD1986]

I honestly never thought about a mid day routine. After finding this video, I'm going to start incorporating a mid day routine of brushing and using my hands to make sure my beard stays how I want it.

[@Knickerbocker_Ave]

Only thing I do middle day... splash water and finger comb it. Rarely will I use anything else unless I need to impress, then a little sprucing of oil, and maybe balm and boars hair bristle brush.

[@DanCBearded]

That’s awesome man!

[@williamreeder2811]

I apply oil usually beard octane. If I'm having a crazy beard day which happens more often now that's it's shorter I apply balm. But I've started carrying beard justice butter and now reapply it daily. I then comb it out with my pocket oxhorn from beard octane. Finish it off with a brush. I find that brushing makes my beard feel softer.

[@paulouzman7267]

I have what would be considered here a short goatee, so my midday routine would consist of... a comb. During the day I'm usually out and about so a comb in the pocket is all I can carry. A quick check every few hours if I'm near a mirror with a sweep through if needed. Product is for the home, morning and evening.

[@andrewespinoza7333]

Great video the bearded teacher! I don’t have a mid day beard routine, I wash my beard in the morning and use beard oil and beard butter and actually makes it stay in place and makes my beard look fuller! But reason why I don’t have a mid day routine is when I work, I work 12 hour days and don’t really have the time too plus I don’t want oil or butter sitting out in my car to melt or mess up the oil because of the summer heat!

[@saxman7131]

I don’t do anything midday but my beard is changing and longer than it’s ever been. I’ll try this. Thanks Dan.

[@davidogden1927]

I'm going into my third week of growing my beard for the first time. I have to thank you for all of your wisdom and knowledge that has gotten me through the awkward/itchy period of growing a beard. Keep up the great work on you videos 👍🧔🏽

[@thebaldbeardeddude]

It depends on what I'm doing. If I'm at work wearing a beardnet for 12 hours, around 1:00 I will apply some oil and comb it. I have several empty sample bottles from bad ass that I use, just put what what I'm wearing in and I'm good. If I'm being a monster fighting 2 super heros, a little water then about 1/4 - 1/2 the amount of oil that I normally use and comb it.

[@DanCBearded]

Fantastic, keep me posted!

[@IB08Sahara]

You spoke about one of my through out the day mistakes & I loved it! I learned through out my beard journey that one of my biggest mistakes was combing my beard through out the day, although having oil & butter from the morning. Started to notice here & there some breakage along time. I learned that throughout the day using the palm of my hand & fingers I can shape it up & it would look. Thank you sir for guiding me through out this beard journey, I said it from the beginning that I wanted to go through a whole year without any cuts. At the end of next month will be a year, yes some bumps on the road but you learn to go around them bumps. You the best! Thank you Mr. C

[@cubiczirconiabeard5366]

No beard comb huh? I think growing a beard is like getting back to essentials, being a minimalist, and breaking out of societal constructs. Then I see these rustic macho ads for wooden combs, and my soul longs to have one. Next, I see posts like yours, and think I'm getting back to fundamental truths of existence by just using my fingers to do my beard and not buying that wooden comb.

[@tompowell1260]

Another great video. I just use my hands .Wheni get home after work I use a brush very lightly. If were going out I put a little balm and head out. Thanks

[@huskybeardgrooming4233]

Great inside look into your daily routine, Dan! Love the “hands only” approach and only use product if necessary.

[@Aj1985freak]

I apply cold pressed coconut oil or Almond oil over the beard and little on the skin.

[@kylesustin1122]

First, you’re welcome for the support and a huge thank you in return. Beard life has been an additional huge positive in my life and you have a big hand in that 🙏 I knew this video was coming eventually as it gets asked quite a bit on Commands Corner. I have never reapplied anything to beard mid day or used anything but my hands. It has worked pretty well but I want to try keeping a Kent comb (best ever) in my work bag and maybe a 2oz. Butter and give it a whirl. Thanks Dan, you’re the man! I’m a poet and I didn’t even know it....Man, I rhyme every time! #dadjokes 🤦‍♂️

[@thomaswillingham1973]

I have a wood folding comb that I'll run through my beard a couple of times a day A benefit of my wood comb, it is saturated with oil so even when my beard is a bit dryer, the comb itself isn't and I can easily comb through my beard After watching your video about using your hands, I am combing a less, and styling with my hands a more Using less balm for hold, and having a healthy, reasonably trained beard, I find that my beard goes back into place pretty easily using just my hands

[@Brownshorror666]

Yes! This is all I have been doing throughout the day as well. I have kept a comb at my work desk but I have hardly used it. I am glad you mentioned about combing a dry beard. I have noticed that pulling and I stopped immediately. Thanks Dan!

[@johanlofdahl4994]

I usually do my morning routine at 4am so when my beard starts feeling a bit sad half way through my shift I just wet my beard in the sink, dry it up slightly with some paper towels and the put in some beard oil in and finnish it off with my boars brisstle brush, then back to work

[@beardedslick250]

Just got into a mid day once in a while throw in some butter ox horn comb it in! Usually only do it on my days off beard don’t have to be perfect for work plus humidity kills!! But when I’m out it’s the mid day butter and comb!

[@beardswagbbq]

I comb my beard all day long, that being said im in and out of cars all day long writing service in a dealership. I reapply oil at lunch. I rock oil and balm in morning and butter at night. Thanks for advice Daniel👊🏻

haven't watched you for a while dan been so busy, kinda missed these videos.......oil and butter every morning, then throughout the day.........just the back or my thumb from each hand on each side, and a kent comb literally skimmed over the top every now and again through the day. my beard is bushy and thick,

Awesome video we talked about this a couple weeks ago I use a comb throughout the day bad mistake now I use my hands it's looks alot better here in Tennessee the humidity is very high I use butter when I need to awesome video buddy and great advice 👊👊👊👊

[@nativezero]

Midday depending on the feel and state of the beard affects what I do. My beard tends to shrink up and bit during the day so I just get a bit of water in my hands and splash it on my beard then comb it through, then just shape it up a bit. If I find it to be very dry as it sometimes can be ill add a bit of oil or whipped beard butter, then comb it through and shape.

[@JAinMorocco]

Makes sense, a specially when your beard feels a bit dried out by end of day

[@gregcrystal8200]

In the morning beard butter right after I wake and after my workout I use the Beardbrand styling balm old money. It is a little sticky but it smooth out well. I usually comb midday but not anymore after this video! I did have a lot of breakage. Thanks Dan

[@athletejmv]

Well, you finally convinced me to try the Husky beard butter now that I'm moving away from balm as my main staple. Prices and shipping seemed reasonable. $3 shipping and free over $50. Very fair. After giving Grave Before Shave a try on their beard butter, I found I prefer this (butter) and oil. I liked the oil, but loose density in my beard and feels like it dries out halfway throughout the day. I'll save the oil for bed after I shower. I like balm for the back edges of the jawline to keep the beard tight looking. Looking forward to getting my fragrance samples and two butters I ordered (Midnight Charmer and Royale Black). Another great video. Thx.

[@lilrockfromga5092]

Good video as always. I use oil in the morning and leave in conditioner and the the beard butter. My beard is short so I comb it during the middle of the and at night when I'm working.

[@ryanlemaytheislandbeard9499]

Once again a great formative video..... I personally use oil because I realize by midday I start getting the itchies so I use a good oil and then use a wooden comb to it spread it out evenly. My only concern is am I using too much oil throughout the day? if you could maybe answer that question or even do a video that would be awesome. Keep up the amazing hard work you are the true trusted beard teacher.

[@DanCBearded]

The point where you are using too much oil would be if 30 minutes after applying oil, run your hands through the face of your beard. If your hand becomes all greasy, you are using too much

[@jscottgp2011]

The only thing I have to do throughout the day is comb. And it’s like once an hour. I’ll blow dry it down, straighten it, oil and balm it, leave the house with it looking exactly how I want. Then between living it just like raises out of place. It’s not really curling but it just doesn’t...stay. I don’t get it. But I’m hoping the beard just isn’t heavy enough to stay down yet. So one day lol

I really don't have a mid day routine. I am just getting into this. Learning what a quality product is and how/when to use it.I have watched your morning and night routine videos. I take my shower before bed so my Fiance can have the shower in the morning. I know you said that if you can only have one product it should be oil. If all I have is oil should I still be applying oil everyday? Every other day?

[@BrandonF601]

I agree with using the hands. The humidity is extremely high here and causes my very straight hair to fro out badly. The more I comb my beard, the more it will actually start to curl. And I mean fast. Sometimes in less than 5 or 6 strokes the sides of my beard can curl like i put freakin curlers in it or something. So hands only for me throughout the day. I feel like I'm only about an inch, maybe inch and a half behind you. But between my profession, a collard shirt, & humidity, my hair hardly ever lays down. This is my 19th year as an automotive tech and literally within the first 5 minutes of my day ill be grinding my chin on my shoulders, or having my shirt collar jammed up in the side of my face while i'm folded up under someones nasty dash. On the weekends i can keep it pretty crisp though because of your guidance. Thanks you sir.
