Beard Advice

[wango]

Has anyone used a heated brush that straightens beards? I use one for my hair which works surprisingly well.

Have tried using my matte hair paste as well, but would welcome advice about products.

I use a normal woman's hair straightener on my beard. Also I used chemical relaxer that's typically meant for negro hair.

Use a good quality beard oil and beard butter it will keep your beard in better shape. Also use a wood comb instead of plastic,plastic is hard on the beard.
I would recommend getting a beard shampoo to use instead of regular shampoo it will help keep the beard softer.

Sometimes I put 'argon oil' in my beard too, it's supposed to be the best kind of oil for human hair, you use it like a 'leave in conditioner'. Although I hear that pure almond oil is good too. I think every pharmacy has a little bottle of argon oil.

I put chemical relaxer in it maybe 2 or 3 times a year, and immediately afterward I use a very thick cream called a 'hair mask' and I leave it in over night (to try prevent my beard turning into a hard wire brush). Same goes for when I occasionally bleach my beard. If I do anything to my beard that could potentially damage it, I leave the hair mask in overnight.

No matter how much damage you do to your hair, you'd be surprised how much it can recover. One time I put high strength chemical relaxer (intended for negroes) in my beard for about 6 minutes and it totally ruined my beard, I was left with a hard wire brush. So then I just put in a lot of argon oil and hair mask for a few days, and it was fine again within a week.

Those GHD hair staighteners are really good but you don't need to spend nearly that much money. I bought a hair straightener for £10 (about $13) in a shop in an airport in England about 2 years ago, it's still working fine today.

Thank you, will give them a try.

No chemicals for me, but thanks. The heated brush is not really for straightening for me, but it reduces some frizzy hairs that have a mind of their own. As my beard gets fuller, I’m going to give it a try, there’s a lot out there on the market.
