When should you take care of your beard?

To answer this question, we are just going to give you an image, simplistic of course, but effective: to have a beard is to have chin-length hair. So, like the ones you have (or had!) On your head, beard hair needs to be groomed daily.
Wanting a soft beard is one thing, but above all, it must be perfectly clean.
How to properly clean your beard?

During the day, dust and germs accumulate in your beard (due to pollution, meals, etc.), which explains this need for maintenance. Some studies have even found that a man’s beard can be dirtier than a toilet bowl …
To take care of it, nothing could be simpler: just shampoo it when you are in the shower using a product specially designed for the beard: the balm, soap, shampoo, according to your taste.
Put a small amount of product in your hand, lather and massage your beard (and moustache, if there is a moustache) by making small circular movements so that the product permeates the hair well over its entire length, up to the root.
Then rinse with lukewarm water, not too hot so as not to damage the hair. If your beard has an annoying tendency to frizz that you don’t like, rinse it with cold water: this temperature stimulates the hair and stiffens it.
Good to know: a deep beard cleaning is recommended at least three times a week.

Drying a short beard is not a problem and is done with a towel.

Almost! Now that your beard is as clean as new, your hairs are hydrated to perfection and soft as cotton, it’s time to move on to the brushing that will:
