Dealing with Beard Split Ends

[@hexcrackerjtj]

I'd just like to point out sir that your beard is MAGNIFICENT

[@thebeardbaron]

Jai Thank you Jai!

[@ChrisATW]

I'm so glad to have found someone so passionate about beards, and able to present information so eloquently. Thanks Baron!

[@thebeardbaron]

ChrisATW Thanks for watching!

[@blstrge1]

My beard has been improving since using your beard oil and stache wax. It's making it so soft and shiny. I have shades of red, brown, blonde, and even some grey hairs in my beard. Your oil accentuates the colors and I'm very satisfied. I'll be trimming very lightly soon. Thanks for all the tips and products.

[@thebeardbaron]

blstrge1 Glad you've been enjoying everything and best of luck on your trim!

[@irfanmyg]

I find his videos very calming for some reason.

[@diezelmods8000]

Same here. Always motivates me everytime I watch them

[@xCrowii]

Rather enjoyed watching this video twice! Once for the actual lesson, and the other to watch the shadows in the background slowly creep away by the end of the video. Good stuff, Beard Baron!

[@thebeardbaron]

Luke Thompson Glad you enjoyed it Luke!

[@halfstep67]

Great video. I am very close to a yeard, a couple of weeks out. I haven't trimmed by beard any. My beard hairs measure around 7 inches long but hangs around 5 inches from the chin due to the curls in the hairs.I recently had to trim my stache because it was out of control but I still left it long. So far, I haven't had any split ends. I look often but haven't seen any. I keep my beard well conditioned with beard balm and use a pine tar soap. I stay away from blow dryers which are the number one cause of split ends. Blow dryers can reach 400 degrees and the rapid heating of the water can cause the hair to swell and split. If you use a blow dryer, use low heat and don't over use it. Soon I will be ordering your new shampoo and give it a try. I am using up my soap stash and getting low. Good soap/shampoo, good oil/balm, good comb/brush will make all the difference and try to stay away from blow dryers.

[@thebeardbaron]

halfstep67 Well said my friend! Congrats on the yeard!

[@halfstep67]

The Beard Baron Thank you.

[@megagene]

I get some crazy split ends sometimes that are so frayed that they look like mini cat o' nine tails. Excellent vid as always, John.

[@thebeardbaron]

megagene Thanks for watching! Take care of those mini cat o'nine tails!

[@davidsonabdn]

im laughing hard at your description of playing with the beard...finding the split ends and pulling them out, thats exactly where im at!! my split ends arent too big so trimming them just now, thanks for the tips.

[@tubbycustard8866]

first of all what a quality video! also yes omfg I have such a bad habit of searching for split ends, I'll try to stop now

[@Grazk]

My comb does get stuck alot... gonna go check for split ends. Btw could you do a "how to eat" with an epic moustache video, Im making a mess of myself here haha

[@thebeardbaron]

Grazk I've got that video in the works!

[@jasonvoorhees8899]

Right lol

[@kulak8548]

I would emphasize that while trimming is important, you also definitely shouldn't trim too often or you will never see any beard growth. If you really want to grow your beard, it's best to only trim once every 30-90 days.

[@thebeardbaron]

I totally agree!

[@farzad5362]

John, you are my inspiration for growing beard brother! Wish you all the best.

[@oujeil]

i wish i started with these videos before i grew my beard... good video man...

[@terrymiller79]

Thanks for the heads up homie. My beard had a ton of split ends. To the point where it seemed to stop growing. I hadn't taken very good care of it. So i shaved it after a year and a half. But I'm starting a new one and doing it the right way. Oils and washes and no blow drying and good combs and brushes

[@Tapetenmetzger]

Hah, started to notice split ends just a couple days ago. Your timing is excellent!

[@thebeardbaron]

***** Glad I was right on time!

[@AndreasFilms]

I know pulling hairs is bad, but what about stroking em? I never pull my hairs, but I do like touching it..is that harmfull?

[@jjysoserious]

not at all, keep on stroking.

[@thebeardbaron]

AndreasSheiLT As long as you aren't pulling you'll be fine :)

[@devinhite2179]

come to realise, you made me shave my crusty dirty beard, and take this advice into heard, grab some beard oil, a nice classy comb. (also how is a horse hair brush, rather than a comb) and starting fresh. thank you BB.

[@SteveWrightAndroidAtNight]

Love your videos Baron! Also love the set up in the forest :P

[@thebeardbaron]

Steve Wright Glad you enjoyed it Steve!

[@dr.markkendrick4134]

John, very informative.........Always a good View!.............By the way, Fantastic Scissors!

[@TIMG128]

what about if you only have a moustache? I have noticed that after growing it for ten months the ends have broken a bit. More on one side than the other which isn't a great look

[@snabelkran]

Hi, man. Thanks for posting all these videos. I really learn something new everytime. I'm just wondering if you can elaborate a bit more on the mousturizing. I typically use some beard oil or beard balm in the morning, but I find that my beard gets pretty dry after around two or three hours. What should I do to prevent this?

[@thebeardbaron]

snabelkran Thanks for watching! As for beard oil/balm you might need to apply more of it or more often. You might even need to try a different oil.

[@H.K.5]

I'm trying to grow a chin goatee but I'm scared it will look stupid since my beard splits in the middle.

[@thebeardbaron]

The best way to find out is by trying it! And remember, you are the most critical of your beard. Most people won't notice :)

[@rossmarshall7814]

Hello I have been growning my beard for 3 months now and I have noticed that there is a ton of hairs that have which lookes like hair folicals on the actual hair. What is this and what to do? Ps your beard is like a boss!!

[@dalelgribble6475]

the last inch of my beard shoots off side ways. have you seen this? and how do I deal with it and allow my beard to be all that it can be?

[@markpretorius422]

My beard is just past 6 months, but the spit ends cause a lot of breaking of my beard, it's still really short on my chin area. But I'll try and use your tips!

[@Hitman-kp5fd]

Can you post a video about how to manicure and maintain the neckline

[@tombrown3051]

John, thanks the info. I am currently about 6 months in to my beard, and living in Phoenix makes it so I get quite a few spilt ends. Thanks for the tips on how to deal with them. Citrus Bay rules!

[@thebeardbaron]

tom brown Glad you enjoyed it Tom! And yes, Citrus Bay does rule :)

[@bloodredroses88]

Do you think you could do a video on how to trim your neck line? Really like your videos but my beard isn't very big at the moment and I look a bit homeless :(

[@justinrhansen]

I've been growing my beard for about a year just started growing the full beard . Thanks for the inspiration.

[@thebeardbaron]

justin hansen All the best Justin!

[@jeffwolf8018]

thanks for the tips.. they sound very solid

[@akbarnaqvi4737]

I have a short beard but I get so many split ends on my chin no matter what I do. So annoying.

[@piggymito]

Hi Baron I'm loving the channel! I'm just wondering if you can give me a little advise. I've had a beard for years now but have recently started to actually try and look after it. It's about 2/3 the length of yours with a similar moustache. My problem is that I play hockey and recently I've been playing a good 3-4 times a week and as a goalie obviously I have to wear a mask. Obviously squashing my beard into a chin cup constantly is starting to shred my beard and although I know this is never going to be ideal, I was wondering if you could recommend some way of either reducing the impact on my beard or maybe some sort of post hockey routine to help the situation? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.

[@thebeardbaron]

piggymito If you could put something in between your beard and chin cup that would be ideal. It'd have to be tight so there wouldn't be any rubbing. Possibly a bandanna of sorts?

[@andyr8208]

you literally speak my thoughts !!!!!

[@dalelgribble6475]

if I had a beard like yours, I feel like my entire life would be better.

[@allandavies1187]

Hello Beard Baron, I wonder can you show a photograph of what split - ends look like???

[@stevesabella4288]

Q: The grain of my beard does not flow all in the same direction. Is there a way to fix this? Also, I find myself constantly stroking (not picking or pulling) my beard. Am I hurting my beard by doing this? Thanks for sharing your secrets. Keep uploading!

[@thebeardbaron]

***** Beard grain usually likes to do it's own thing and the best thing is to not fight it. Once it grows out a bit you'll gain more control of it. Stroking is OK as long as you are not pulling. Thanks for watching!

[@stevesabella4288]

Thanks baron. Beards have been frowned upon for some time now in society. Some simple beard etiquette will help reestablish a good name for facial hair in the world.so thanks again for doin what you do!

[@ddahal]

Beard wash and beard shampoo is not available in my country so i used to use face wash and shampoo my beard 2-3 times a week which i found i was doing wrong... can we use Baby shampoo if Beard shampoo is not available and wash it twice a week?? I am using castor oil for my beard. Is it good too????

[@chimbapa13]

Thanks this helped out a lot. I was on the verge of shaving my beard after i found some split ends. Now i dont have to. Also is there any difference between using beard balm and oil?

[@thebeardbaron]

Ivan Guevara Glad you didn't shave it Ivan! Balm has wax in it and oil is straight oil for a softer feel. I'm more partial to beard oil but to each their own.

[@matthewbritt8498]

How do you get those sides so perfect? Love your style man, all time favorite beard for sure

[@thebeardbaron]

matthew britt Just been maintaining my beard for a very long my friend :)

[@LawrenceCaldwellAuthor]

You mentioned beard oil. What do you think about coconut oil or olive oil? Btw, are you a yankee living in the south? That background looks like Georgia or North Carolina.

[@thebeardbaron]

LambentTyto Coconut and olive oil tend to be a bit thin and doesn't last that long on the beard. I'm a yankee living in the north, the background of Massachusetts can be misleading :)

[@chanceblevins6682]

I got a split end problem while it's short. It stabs me. My trouble is finding an oil that works on my viking thick hair.

[@brownbearrr]

Nice videos! Is there anything you can do when you're beard doesn't link up fully around the gaote area, at the side of the lips? is it just a waiting game?

[@thebeardbaron]

brownbearrr It's definitely a waiting games as that's a common area to lag behind in terms of beard development.

[@AHeadC]

Great videos baron! One question, I have a goatee and shave either side daily. What's the best way to go about this whilst still keeping my beard in the best condition? I often find I'll end up with shorter hairs around the edges from constantly catching them in the razor and can't seem to avoid it. I have an electric shaver that fixes the problem but it kills my skin if I use it every day so I always go back to a regular razor. Thanks!

[@thebeardbaron]

AHeadC If you want true precision then you should look into a straight razor which will give you all the control you need. It may take some practice to get it right but it'll certainly do the trick!

[@GuyFromLV]

I've been growing my beard for a month now and it's going pretty well. My question is, what about the time you make out with your girl/wife? My moustache is already getting in the way. Are there any tips from you guys or is it something that you have to live with if you're growing a beard?

[@thebeardbaron]

Artūrs Boss Some women hate it while others tolerate it. You can always brush aside your mustache with a finger right before you go in for kiss. Not the smoothest move but can work if you make it work. Some men prefer the mustache over kissing.

[@GuyFromLV]

The Beard Baron Hehe,thanks Baron and sorry for the silly question. Hail your beard! It's amazing.

[@nibuoj]

ive been growing out my beard for 5 months and in that time have used cheap combs and no beard oil/balm until like 3 weeks ago. Still cant really run a comb through it unless its wet. im wondering if i should start over?

[@aislancarlos2711]

i have a lot split ends haha. But i am concerned. my beard has 4 months but recently i noted that many hair face are falling. Did this happen to urs?

[@chones01]

I must be one of the lucky ones when it comes to split ends but I am currently at the awkward stage of the epic moustache...Does your moustache wax last all day? Mine is more like a pomade with bees wax as an ingredient. All organic but I'm fighting my moustache by midday.

[@thebeardbaron]

chones01 It all depends on what kind of environment you are in, what you are doing during the day, and how much you apply. A lot of the times men don't apply enough mustache wax. Mine is a medium hold.

[@badshodi]

To protect and preventing split ends,how many times per days we need to apply the oil?

[@thebeardbaron]

badshodi I'd say everyday or every other day. It all depends on how well your beard and skin retain the oil or how fast it dries out.

[@willconway1308]

The hairs around my cheeks keep drying out, splitting, and even cracking in the very middle of the hair. The puzzling thing is that I use beard oil every day. What do I do?

[@justinrhansen]

Thanks for the help I'll just let it keep growing until it's like yours. Like a boss!

[@thebeardbaron]

justin hansen Like a boss Justin!

[@parulbanga007]

My beard starts splits at about 2 inches of length. I really need help. Please advise something

[@Bran3544]

Do you have a list of products that you use? Scissors? Combs? etc ..

[@thebeardbaron]

Brandon Ramirez Hey Brandon, check out my website through the link in the description. Everything I use is available on my website.

[@Bran3544]

The Beard Baron Thanks! Can't wait for you to get your scissors back in stock. I've been looking for a good pair for a while.

[@sickboy481]

Hi Baron, thanks for the useful information. The question I have is this; I seem to get a large number of ingrowing hairs, these itch and cause me to pick at my beard. Do you have any suggestions for how to deal with ingrowing hairs. Thanks

[@thebeardbaron]

sickboy481 Making sure you don't have dry skin can help prevent them. If you have them they sometimes go away on their own. Otherwise you might has to use a warm compress and some tweezers if it's really bothering you.

[@sickboy481]

The Beard Baron Thanks for the response

[@unknown-9801]

Baron , I have question why the amount of hair on your hand is different to your beard , and I wanna ask if sweating affects hair growth , Thx

[@thebeardbaron]

unknown - Mostly genetics and follicle placement will determine hair growth. As for sweating you should have any issues.

[@unknown-9801]

I mean exercising weight lifting because its increase the amount of testosterone hormone , I think genetics is the main factor for growing a beard because I can't grow mustache connectors , I try supplements like fish oil , biotin , and zinc but there is no solution

[@thebeardbaron]

unknown - I meant "shouldn't have issues". Weight lifting should certainly help with the increase testosterone.

[@sambuckingham22]

I've been growing for a little over a year but recently my beard hairs have been falling out at the follicle while im washing and applying oil. The skin on my face doesn't seem to be dry. How can I prevent these long hairs from falling out completely?

[@thebeardbaron]

Sam Buckingham Losing hairs is very normal, common, and to be expected.

[@woobasteve1274]

what kind of beard wash do u recommend?

[@ariefarman23]

Hey The Beard Baron, I have the problems you mentioned about split ends and your video is very insightful. Thank you. I would like to ask you about thickness. My beard is not that thick but it grows longer. How can I make my beard thicker?

[@thebeardbaron]

Arief Arman Allow your beard to develop further and hopefully it will thicken up to where you like it.

[@ariefarman23]

The Beard Baron Thank you for your feedback. Much appreciated!

[@TheBitcoinAppraiser]

At what stage should I begin using beard oil? 1 month of growth? 2? 3?

[@thebeardbaron]

Tommy Guarisco At 1 month of growth is a great time to start using beard oil.

[@TheBitcoinAppraiser]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@outdoorsnevada4138]

10 months into my beard. Haven't cut it. Just starting to get split ends. Grr

[@BlackandBluePony]

First off, just discovered your channel and also ordered some oil and shampoo! So I have a fairly long beard maybe 3/4 length of yours and up until recentlly it was looking pretty fabulous and I got a lot of complements. Lately thou it has just gotten super strange in its curling and shape.Im assuming its due to dryness and split ends as Im in the minnesota winter now. Anyway was wondering if it is repairable with some work and love or best to knock off inches and grow anew (not preferable). Thanks for the input, you are the man!

[@thebeardbaron]

BlackandBluePony A slight trim is what you might just need. Be very careful trimming to not get out of control and take off more than intended.

[@Thekris0927]

I have a question about beard oil. I have a full handlebar mustache and can i use beard oil on it on the days i don't wax my mustache? Will it have the same effect as having a beard. I dont have a beard myself cuz i just look better with a handlebar. But does it work the same? Cheers mate! Great videos

[@thebeardbaron]

Kristopher Wilson Hey Kristopher, the beard oil will work just the same on the mustache and make it nice and soft. It would provide any hold but it will have a very nice natural look.

[@scottallen2190]

As always great video, thanks, Scott

[@thebeardbaron]

Scott Allen Glad you enjoyed it Scott!

[@thefaceless8796]

My beard is a giant split end. Almost feel like I need to shave it off and start over but I'm over a year in and it's come a long way :(

[@thebeardbaron]

Split ends are the WORST! If possible, I would recommend only trimming the split ends from your beard rather than losing so many months of growth!

[@thefaceless8796]

@@thebeardbaron that's what I plan to do but I'm starting to worry some of the hairs are split very far down. Is it possible to have hairs that are literally split in half to near the base?

[@bigdawgc2164]

also i have a litte bit of an acne problem but not to bad but i always wash my face with differnt acne face washes and all that, can those be aproblem for a beard. besides like drying out. can it make my beard not grow as long or maybe fall out or something.....just a thought that i had

[@thebeardbaron]

***** If the acen is a problem then I would definitely address that first and have your beard take a bit of a back seat until it gets cleared up.

[@Meznah]

Hi Johnny I'm a recent subscriber of yours and I have a question: I was 6 weeks into my beard and it was growing pretty well without me touching or trimming it, but due to my cousin's marriage I had to trim it down a bit to have a more clean look. Now, if I want to grow my beard again should I continue to grow or it will be better if I shaved all of it and started again?

[@thebeardbaron]

The Meznah I would keep it as is and allow everything to catch up.

[@Meznah]

The Beard Baron Thank you and good job with everything you do!

[@FraktalsFestiVids]

+The Beard Baron I've got an issue with long hair split ends, but the short new growth at the base of my chin/jaw is short, coarse and overall crappy looking... do you have any tips for these?

[@therrienmichael08]

I used scissors from the dollar store. I never thought of this. Also I got a hot iron hair straightener as it curves down and to the left.

[@Gnargusto]

Hello there, I have a question for you Oh Bearded One, what's your thoughts on using a hair buzzer (the same a barber uses on your head) to trim and clean those split ends and rogue, wild beard hairs?

[@thebeardbaron]

Gnargusto I've used that technique before and you just have to be super careful if your beard is long. If you have a short beard and regularly use a buzzer that's fine. The longer your beard is the tricky it can be and the mistakes can be major. Just be careful!

[@1DJSkittles]

can you do . it once a year ?

[@justinrhansen]

My beard just wants to curl is there a way to make it straight without a girls iron thing?

[@thebeardbaron]

justin hansen Length can help in the curl department as it gets longer it gets heavier. The only real way to make it straight is with a flat iron which I don't recommend.

[@kevindavenport4217]

Hey Baron. I'm currently torn between what to do. My beards getting to that akward stage ( plenty of flyaways) and possible split ends. I definitely want to keep growing my beard out, so I'm not sure if I should trim or not.

[@joem2539]

+Kevin Davenport i would suggest trying a beard balm to tame the flyaways if you haven't already. or also give it a small trim to keep your beard looking neat and to take care of the possible split ends. good luck!

[@kevindavenport4217]

+Joe M I've been doing a little trimming but think I'm going to try some balm soon. Thanks for the advice.

[@joem2539]

glad i could help

[@Leonar12345]

Hey John, I have something I'd love to ask you. The first couple times I shaved, I tended to shave downwards on my left cheek, sideways around my chin and up my right cheek. I stopped shaving like this after 2-3 shaves but to this day, my beard doesn't grow downward, it grows around my face the same way I originally shaved it, so about 1/3 of my beard looks normal. It's not really a problem when the hair is short but it's terrible when I try to grow it out. Any insight on this and how to change it?

[@thebeardbaron]

Leonar12345 It has to get to a pretty long length in order to get it to do what you want it to do. Anything shorter and it will hug the face and follow the grain. You just need to get to the magical length.

[@thesocialexperiment1268]

The absolute biggest thing that helped me was beard oil. When I shampoo, I use all natural shampoos and even then, it's may be a couple times a week. But, beard oil really made a huge difference in how full my beard looks and how soft it feels. I've had no real issues with split ends (6 months of growth) yet, but the main key is keeping that hair moisturized. Also, it's been really helpful for me to get a boars hair brush. Gotta get my beard full and manly by my wedding, next April.

[@enbardis]

The Social Experiment congrats on the beard and the wedding!

[@thebeardbaron]

[@thebeardbaron]

DeepOne The 5T just refers to the model number. The 175mm is the 5T with or without the number on there.

[@God_is_Justice]

The Beard Baron Thank you. I live in California and here in California unlike East Coast or Europe, where I am originally from water has a completely different effect on my hair. I have some grey hair now and most of my grey hair is sticking out almost as if it was made of plastic, I mean really really terrible comparring to the darker hair, which also feel like plastic, not like real hair. This only happens here in California, where I live, however my hair or beard rather feels completely different in places like East Coast or Europe. After only one single wash it feels super super super soft in Europe and East Coast. No sticking hairs and it lays flat and after few washes I actually have to think about how to make the volume of my beard bigger. I don't have this problem here in California. After each wash my hair turns into some crazy afro style hair I absolutely hate it and even after I started using beard oil it is not that much better, maybe tighny bit but not by a lot. What can I do to make my hair feel soft and streight, just like I know it can in Europe or East coast? If I didn't know that my hair can actually be soft I wouldnt bother but I know it can yet I havn't been able to achieve that here in California this freakin desert. Thank you for your help! By the way I use AVEDA shampoo and conditioner on both my beard and my head. It is the best natural shampoo for my head hair because it makes it soft and shiney but the beard still plastic afro...

hi i have split hair in end of my neck, will beard wax save me??

[@Ricki_Snow]

srivatsan santhanam No. Cut above the split with a scissor and keep the hair moisturized. I'm not talking about oil, but about water, the only way you'll keep your hair moisturized is with water, so use oil on a damp beard to lock the moisture in and use a beard wax or balm to tame and style. Cheers
