Start off using 3/4 oil, wait the 5 min and then apply heat. Add in remaining 1/4 and style! Been working great that way. - The Cousins

[@juandeloera9924]

What di you mean add heat?

[@RagnarHoff]

Easy to apply too much when you love the scent. It's like overspraying perfume if the want the scent to last longer throughout the day. Difference is, the oil doesn't dry out like perfume does. And your beard is left greasy with a little shine to it. Luxurious Bastard, Kingsmen and The Bearded bastard solves that problem though because of their bold scents so you don't need that much.

[@DanCBearded]

Great point and well said!

[@Tony-j7n4h]

I have a short grey beard. I initially used half a dropper from a two-ounce bottle. Despite having a good diet and staying hydrated, my beard would dry out after a few hours. I've now increased the amount of oil to three-quarters of a dropper from the same two-ounce bottle, and I'm using a more significant amount of balm, going from a small amount the size of a fingernail to a more significant amount the size of a thumbnail. So far, I'm pleased with the results of increasing the oil and balm and how that has improved the look and feel of my beard.

[@DanCBearded]

That’s awesome!

[@dipietski]

[@DanCBearded]

Yes yes yes! Love to hear that

[@benjamminreviews_ben]

I might add, depends on what viscosity the oil is, I use less of heavier castor based oils. Even though I’m at 6” my beard drinks up about a full dropper. If I over do my measurement with a restrictor top I put that oil to use on my neck and tattoos. I have a good friend that is using more then me and has a even shorter beard. Porosity is a very real thing. Great video Dan.

[@DanCBearded]

Absolutely true! I didn't want to add layers of confusion on with this video for new beardsmen, but rather just a general rule of thumb they can experiment with. I will have a dedicated video in the near future about the different viscosity levels and how much oil to use 👊

When you run your hands through should they come back completely “dry” or should it feel like a like your forehead before your shower? I have a 3 1/2” goatee. My sides don’t grow in fully but I am giving that a go too. I use about 6-8 drops of thicker beard oil. If I put it in at about 8:30am I usually get the dry feeling by about 3:00-4:00pm. Is that normal? I also use 4-5 drops at night.

You don't want your hand to have oil on it, that is an easy tell of using too much. Not using enough is tougher side to tell. If it feels like straw, feels itchy, or hurts a little, you probably did not use enough

Excellent work, Dan! Curly White 4" beard. 6 or 7 drops. Another check: I apply drops to my fingers, and rub them together. After spreading the oil on my skin and beard, my fingers may feel a bit oily, but not look oily or greasy. Comb down touching skin all the way, up, then down again but straight down past jawline. Acetate (Kent) comb should show no oil. Wood comb may benefit from rubbing between fingers or palms, and again no oily look or feel. I figure anything left on my hands or comb was too much for my beard.

[@badnbeardedcasey]

1.) 👍 2.) 5"-6" 3.) Make sure that your really working the oil into your skin so. If its just the surface of your beard the oil is on then you may be using the right amount of oil but it may appear to be too much since the oil may stay on the surface of your beard. Also, if your beard is too wet when applying the oil; you may be using the right amount but since oil is more dence than water, your oil may ware off faster or may not absorb at all into your skin. Alot of factors to consider when using beard oil. Keep notes to give you an idea of how much oil you used "quarter rule", how dry was your beard when you applied it, and also the greeseiness test after 30 minutes. Awesome video Dan! 👊

[@DanCBearded]

Great add on points, thanks Bobby!!

~ 16" in length by your measurment instructions. About a quarter size pool of beard oil in my palm. Sometimes I get too much (feels greasy an hour or so later) Sometimes not enough (feals dry 15 min later) I DIY my beard oil. Grapeseed and/or coconut oil as the carrier, tea trea oil and various essential oils for the scent.

Hey Terry! Grey/white/silver beards certainly require a little more oil, so that sounds spot on!

[@funkdaddy3.0]

I have a seven inch beard of mostly (75%) gray but have black and blonde hair interspersed throughout. Because of the lack of cuticles on the gray hair, they soak up the lighter oils readily. But the heavier oils, remain on my beard longer. That being said, my baseline is one full dropper but that can change depending on the oil blends and always involves trial and error. I walk the line.

[@dalesoblo3010]

Hi Dan, I’ve often wondered about how much beard oil to use. When my beard was short I didn’t use any. At yeard length about half a dipper would do. Currently the beard is 18 inches long and it takes a full dropper or about two nickel size shakes from a restricted bottle. Of course all beard oil is not the same so there is some variation in these measurements and frequency of application. And yes trial and air is how I figured this out. The amount of oil to maintain a long beard at first caught me off guard. I have not trimmed my beard in about three years and it is still growing. The goal is terminal length. I may have to buy a share in a beard product company to maintain this lifestyle. Thanks for the great content.

Awesome comment and love hearing the journey!

5 inch beard. I use 3 drops of oil and then after a few minutes hit it with a dollop of beard balm. Usually good for the day.

[@DanCBearded]

Sounds great!

[@MrNickswanek]

I’m about half a dropper. But my beard is also one that really absorbs well. I have fairly coarse hair. Because of this I can trick myself into over oiling because how well it will take the first round of oil. But after I blow dry I might take 2 or 3 drops more and just hit the outside again to get it good. No more or it’s a mess. Great video Dan.

[@DanCBearded]

Thank you!!

[@markstephens649]

I have a 8 inch yeard and make my own oil and butter... Through trial and error I use one dropper of oil... Day or night then cap it with my shea butter, Lanolin based beard butter mix... The lanolin sucks up oil and gives my beard a wonderful silky feel... And leaves a nice non greasy feel... You have to try lanolin to appreciate it. Can also mix with beeswax for more hold... But a little wax is all you need!

[@DanCBearded]

Have you caught my video on lanolin?

[@stevendgrissom1968]

6-7 inches. I use one full dropper. If I have butter in I use less. My biggest issue is finding good beard shampoo and conditioner. It can't have alcohol in it. I'd like shampoo and conditioner for head and beard. Can't stand clutter in shower. Good show.

[@DanCBearded]

Any shampoo designed for beards can be used on your head hair, but I do not recommend it the other way

[@stevendgrissom1968]

@@DanCBearded ya tell me about it. Who make the best shampoo on conditioner in a real bottle. Not some sample pump thing that cost a fortune. Hell I'll even diy some Ding ding that's an idea. Need an R&D dude? I'm looking into it tonight. Still want suggestion Dan.

Awesome video Dan! My beard is 3 inches and honestly it depends on what oil i use. I have differnt oils from different companies. So it all depends on what i use. Normally between 5 to 8 drops. Thanks for the great video man. Keep up the amazing work man its greatly appreciated

[@DanCBearded]

Absolutely spot on Ben!

[@tommylinsley2081]

I'm a fairly new beard-dude. Started my beard about 5 months ago. Beard is about 3 inches or so from my bottom lip (hard to really tell the length with waves and kinks). The beard is just getting long enough to garner a couple compliments from other beard-dudes (the beard has finally grown past the "oh, you look distinguished" stage, because I'm 52 and the beard is mostly gray). According to this video, I use too much oil (who woulda thought that more is Not better). Honestly, I may have shaved it off already except my wife likes it (a beard is more work than I thought it would be)! I started out wanting to grown my beard just long enough to look like Sean Connery on Search For Red October, but now I'm thinking I could grow it a few more inches longer.

[@DanCBearded]

You got this man! We will make it look, feel, and smell awesome!

[@tommylinsley2081]

Maybe still too much product. 2 1/2 months later and beard has barely grown. Maybe not enough water.

[@Aric.with.an.A]

6 inch beard. I use about a half dropper or between nickel and quarter size. I can tell 30-60 minutes after if I used too much or too little. Great video! 👍🏻

[@DanCBearded]

That's perfect!

[@MrMarkJohnson281]

Heyo fellas, my beard is only 2.5 inches long, and I've been using about a half dropper. I now think that has been way too much oil. I will be trying the 30 minute test in the next couple days, experimenting with different amounts. Thanks Dan C! Your information is gold, take care man! (And fellow beardsmen!) Cheers!

[@DanCBearded]

Let me know how it goes!

[@MrMarkJohnson281]

@@DanCBearded I've found that about 8-10 drops seems to be about the right amount. It may seem like that is still a bit much, but I live in a drier climate, and it seems to absorb pretty well. It also depends on the brand. My beard seems to love Whisky n Hardtack, it soaks right up! Thanks for the information and the loads of content Dan C, you're a champion! :D

[@anchalgupta3596]

I have a business beard and I use max to max 4 drop of beard oil and it's perfectly suited for me

[@DanCBearded]

Sounds spot on!

[@jimreed3052]

Well well well, turns out, I’ve been using way too much oil! My nest is about half the size of yours and I’ve been using a full dropper, sometimes a bit more and I’ve been having some trouble styling it. Just tried 10 drops and boom, result. Nice one Dan C.

[@samh.6307]

Beard is about 3.5 inches long. I use about 10-15 drops which gets me to that nickle size on my hand. Never done the 30 minute test but just did and I'm good to go. I have over poured some oils before but in that case I just work it in my beard and then throw as much extra as I can in my head hair, on my arms, just wherever so I don't end up rinsing it down the sink

[@DanCBearded]

Sounds like you are doing great Sam!

[@wispy_and_whiskered]

My beard is 5" and I use roughly about 1/3 of a dropper of lighter oil followed with a balm. If not using balm that day it's closer to half of a dropper

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome Tony!

[@showdown45050]

5 inches and use 4 drops of oil. Typically at night if needed 2 or 3 drop and about a half of a pinky nail of butter.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome Andy!

[@jasonfolkes7830]

3 inches 10-12 drops of oil Great video and info sir. I’ll have to start doing the 30 minute test to see if that’s too much oil. Appreciate your videos and knowledge

[@DanCBearded]

Great! Thanks Jason 👊

[@madmatt41187]

My beard is 8 1/2” to 9” long. I use 7 drops of oil directly onto my skin, work that in, then about a finger nails size of balm or butter. Doesn’t seem like much but at night I use a generous amount of coconut oil and shea butter. That usually lasts 4-6 hours.

[@DanCBearded]

Sounds like you have it down!

[@sjmiller8944]

Just found your channel - subscribed - great video. Length: Short - about 4". Amount of oil: 5-7 drops (but only about 1 or 2 times a week currently). Experience: Just retired and decided to see how long I can grow my beard - cause I can. I've never had more than a 1" or 2" beard length before - usually was just a goatee, so just trying to learn how to live with a longer beard - I might go all ZZ Top - just because I can. (Thankfully my wife is supportive). I appreciate the practical advice - I'll give the 30 minute test a try as my beard length increases.

[@DanCBearded]

Thank you brotha, welcome to the channel! A supportive wife is as good as it gets!

[@blazingbeardproducts2845]

My beard is about 7 inches, I use a full dropper, my beard and skin suck up oil, sometimes need to reapply after 6-8 hours, especially with light oils, which I prefer.

[@DanCBearded]

As you know, those grey beards can present a unique challenge! The porosity is veryyy different
