Our last post was about beard grooming tips and now, we’re talking about beard growth oil. First, I would like to point out that everyone cannot grow a beard. So, if you’re reading this post and thinking that we’re going to provide you with the secret sauce that will create hair cuticles beneath your beard that will make you grow a beard – STOP. Beard growth oil (or beard oil) cannot make hair grow where it’s not going to grow. REPEAT – Beard oil cannot make hair grow where it’s not going to grow.
At EbonyDo, our creditability means a lot, so we pride ourselves in being honest, no matter how brutal it may be. So, we just wanted to get that out front before you read any farther. Now, let’s get to it.
What are some key ingredients for beard growth oil?
If you want to eat healthy, nutritionist always aadvisespeople to look at the ingredients on the label of the brand. The same goes with beard growth oil. In order to grow a healthy beard, there are some key ingredients that have been shown to improve growth. Such ingredients are unrefined jojoba and pure argan oil will lay the foundation for healthy growth. This allows for stronger hair, which equates to less breakage. The end result will be a thicker beard.
How it work?
Let’s us break this down into something everyone understands – growing a plant. In order for majority of plants to grow, the soil must be wet and it must be watered regularly. Well, in a similar fashion, the skin must be moisturized in order for the beard to grow. With that in mind, the ingredients mentioned above, unrefined jojoba and pure argan oil, provides the moisiturization necessary for promoting beard growth. Futhermore, beard growth oils a powerful antioxidant which helps decrease environmental damage to your hair. In turn this prevents your hair from becoming dry and flakey. The end result is a beard looking full and strong, which allows it continue to grow.
Choosing the right beard growth oil.
This isn’t easy because the marketplace has increased with so many brands. Understanding which brand will work for you can be tricky, but remember to read the labels. I cannot say this enough — unrefined jojoba and pure argan oil. If the beard oil has several ingredients, stay away. The recipe is quite simple, but some manufacturers try to juice up the beard oil by adding a lot of different ingredients. For example, if a brand list Vitamin E as added ingredient, LEAVE IT ALONE. Argan oil is rich with vitamin E to helps to boost cell production while promoting healthy skin and hair.
When should I use beard growth oil?
Depending on where you reside, use of beard growth oil can vary from twice day to several times a day. As mentioned before, environmental factors can have an impact on your skin, which in turn affects your hair. Also, don’t wait until you have beard to use the oil. Remember, the skins has to be moisturize in order for healthy hair to grow. Going back to the plant analogy, the soil has to be ready to grow healthy flower or vegetables. Lastly, grooming is equally important because you just can use the beard growth oil and think magic is going to happen
What’s the best way to apply beard growth oil?
By far, this is the most important question because if it’s not applied properly, results will vary. First, you should have a daily regime in place to wash your beard with a natural soap. Next, place some beard growth oil in the palm of your hand and rub it around. Then, massage the oil into your beard. Sometimes, you many have to add more oil to your hand, depending on the thickness of your beard. But, you don’t want to have a beard dripping with oil. That’s just plain messy. Follow-up with a brush, to distribute the beard oil evenly. Another added benefit of the brush is that it removes dead skins cells, which has the potential to clog pores and cause those painful ingrown hairs.
In closing, we want to end where we started, there is no scientific way to just “make hair grow.” Certain vitamins and protein can contribute to hair growth, but genetics will always play a bigger role than diet or any other factor. As we stated last week, the 8 Tips to Grooming helps to maintain the beard once you’ve started to see the benefits. But for us BEARDSMEN who have tried beard oil, really understand how beneficial it is. This will probably wrap-up the beard series this week, but stay tuned as we will resume it soon.
