MEN: How To Keep Your Facial Hair Clean & Groomed

·         SHAMPOO and CONDITION:

Just like the hair on your head, your facial hair needs to be washed regularly. A mild shampoo is better to use on facial hair than bar soap, which will tend to dry your skin. Shampooing your beard is best done in the shower so that you can rinse it thoroughly. If your beard feels very coarse and dry after washing, try applying a conditioner after shampooing-- be sure to rinse well. There are special shampoos and conditioners designed for facial hair; some may find them helpful, but they are not strictly necessary.

·         REMOVE TANGLES:

 Comb your beard and mustache to remove tangles, and gently pat your beard dry with a towel when finished. If you wear a very long or thick beard, you may want to finish grooming with a brush.

·         KEEP FOOD OUT:

Another issue to consider regarding facial hair cleanliness is keeping food out of your beard or mustache while eating and drinking. For those new to wearing facial hair, this is something to keep in mind until you have developed good habits. After finishing a meal, be sure to discreetly wipe or comb out any crumbs or items that have made their way into your facial hair. Certain styles may be more prone to collecting food than others, so use caution and good judgment.

Note…                                                    

Healthy hair comes from within: Good nutrition is one of the most important things to consider when it comes to improving the health and appearance of your hair. Hair is made up almost entirely of protein and a diet that is rich in protein and fresh fruits and vegetables will help insure that your hair has the best chance from the moment it begins to grow. When picking foods to promote healthier hair, oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and trout, vitamins like vitamin C, B6 and Biotin and minerals like iron and zinc are all important items to look to adding to your diet.
