From the first day you can start using the best care and styling products. You can buy these online at Julien Deluxe. With a starting beard you have to persevere and not trim or cut it for a few weeks. This gives all the hairs the chance to grow. Clean it regularly with a beard shampoo or a beard soap . You can use a beard oil from the beginning to nourish and care for the hairs and to hydrate the underlying skin. This will prevent itching and skin irritations as much as possible.

  • HOW DO I CARE FOR AND STYLE MY BEARD? HOW DO I MAINTAIN IT?

    For care and styling, here you will find the best advice, straight from barber Julien. It is absolutely worth following this advice. It will look beautiful, healthy, shiny and cared for. For that irresistible attraction. The best products you need for the care and styling of your beard can be purchased online at Julien Deluxe.

    To maintain a well-groomed specimen, you will have to trim it regularly. For this you will need beard scissors , a trimmer and a razor . With the scissors you can cut off the longer, protruding hairs. With a trimmer on the shortest setting you will trim your beard, starting with the longest part. Then you trim your entire beard. First with the direction of hair growth, then against the direction of hair growth. With a shorter setting of the trimmer you can go over your beard again until the desired length is reached. With the razor you make the right line in your neck, and then shave away the hairs outside this line, as well as the hairs of the throat and neck. Of course you can also have your beard trimmed by the barber. Honestly? Go to the barber! The trimming should definitely be done every two to three weeks.

    It is advisable to wash your beard a few times a week with a beard shampoo or beard soap . Two to three times a week is sufficient under normal circumstances. If you sweat a lot or do very dirty work, more times may be advisable. You can best experience this yourself. Do not use regular shampoo or soap to wash your beard, because these will dry out the hair and skin. This will make the beard feel stiff and the skin become irritated. A beard shampoo and beard soap, on the other hand, will not dry out the hair and skin, but will hydrate them and of course remove dirt. They are soft, mild cleansers that ensure that your beard feels soft, and itching and skin irritation are prevented due to their moisturizing properties. After washing, you can use a beard conditioner .

    For further optimal care, use a beard oil daily use. The moisturizing oil nourishes, protects and softens the beard. The oil also hydrates the skin underneath and reduces skin irritation and itching. Apply a few drops of oil to your hand and then massage it into your beard. Distribute the oil evenly from the roots to the tips and use a beard comb or a beard brush for this. If your beard is still very short, one drop may be enough, and you can also use your hands to distribute the oil.

    Finally, you use beard balm for further care and styling. For this, it must have grown a little. Just like the oil, the balm ensures that the underlying skin is less dry and less itchy. In addition, it keeps the hairs nicely in place. Scrape a little beard balm with the back of your thumb and rub it between your hands. Your body heat will melt it. Apply evenly and massage the entire beard and the skin underneath. Then brush or comb. If your beard is still very short, you can also use your hands to distribute the balm.

WHICH CARE IS SUITABLE FOR MY BEARD?

  • HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF A BEGINNING BEARD?

    A starting beard can cause quite a bit of itching. It is especially important to have patience and discipline to persevere and persevere until it has grown into a beautiful, healthy, full specimen. Especially the itching will be the hardest part. The care actually does not differ much from the care of any type of beard. With a beard shampoo or a beard soap you will wash the beard a few times a week. Definitely do not use regular shampoo or soap because they will dry out the skin, which will only cause more itching. With a beard brush you will remove the dead skin cells. This will prepare the skin to absorb the caring beard conditioner and beard oil . Both products will care for, nourish and hydrate the hairs and the underlying skin. This will significantly reduce the itching and irritation. By continuing this process long enough, you will get through that first difficult period and your beard will be able to grow into a beautiful full beard.

  • HOW DO I CARE FOR STUBBLE?

    With a stubble beard, the hairs are about 1 to 2 mm long. Use a trimmer to keep it in shape. You should wash a stubble beard two to three times a week with a beard shampoo or a beard soap . The hairs can be a bit sharp and hard. By going through the hairs with a beard brush , you will remove dead skin cells and ensure that the hairs remain soft. You can also use a beard conditioner after washing to soften the hairs. This will also reduce the itching. Then you will nourish the beard and the underlying skin and keep it supple with a beard oil . In this way, you will also reduce the chance of itching, which can certainly also occur with a stubble beard. It is also more pleasant and causes less skin irritation to go over supple hairs with a trimmer than over hard, stiff hairs. It is best to trim a stubble beard after showering. Then the skin is warm, flexible and moist and it is easier to trim it. It is also best to apply beard oil before trimming. With a stubble beard, it is not (yet) necessary to use a beard balm . After all, the hairs are not yet long enough to style.

  • HOW DO I CARE FOR A SHORT BEARD?

    With a short beard, the hairs are about 1 to 2 cm long. You wash a short one two to three times a week with a beard shampoo or a beard soap . By going through the hairs with a beard brush , you remove dead skin cells and ensure that the beard hairs remain soft. If necessary, you can trim protruding hairs with a beard scissors . The hairs can be a bit sharp and hard. This can cause skin irritation and itching. You can therefore use a beard conditioner after washing to soften the hairs. Then you nourish the beard and the underlying skin with a beard oil . The chance of itching will also be reduced. You can possibly use a beard balm to style it nicely. You can distribute the oil and the balm with a beard comb or a beard brush.

  • HOW DO I CARE FOR A LONGER BEARD?

    The advantage of a longer beard is that you have gotten through that first difficult period of itching and skin irritation. However, this does not mean that it no longer needs care. With a long beard, it is important not only to take good care of the long hairs, but also to style them. You still use a beard shampoo or a beard soap to wash it regularly. After all, quite a bit of dirt is often left behind. With a beard brush you will also remove dead skin cells and brush the hairs in the right direction. If necessary, you can trim any excess with beard scissors . Make sure that you have combed or brushed it well before you start cutting. To care for and nourish the hairs and the underlying skin, you still use a beard oil . This will also reduce the chance of split ends because the hairs are nourished. After that, using a beard balm is definitely a must. A balm will not only hydrate the hairs and nourish them with caring ingredients, but you can also use it to style your beard nicely. You can also control protruding and wild hairs with balm. Use a beard comb or a beard brush to distribute the balm. Your beard will stay in shape all day long and look well-groomed.

  • HOW DO I CARE FOR A THICK BEARD?

    Some men have very thick beards with wild hairs that just using a beard balm will not keep them in place all day. Follow these tips to keep them in place:

  • TIPS FOR GROWING YOUR BEARD. HOW CAN I GROW IT INTO A NICE FULL BEARD?

    Growing a full beard requires patience, discipline and perseverance. The beard becomes wild, itchy and irritating, which is why many men give up too quickly. Look past that and stick to your goal. Don't give up. Don't pay attention to comments from those around you. Of course, heredity, your genes, the color of your hair, and many other factors also play a role, but they are not the most important. The most important is time, patience, discipline and perseverance. Growing a beard takes time and does not happen by itself. It is a process of several weeks, perhaps even two to three months. The time it takes to grow a beautiful full model is different for everyone. But no one will have a full, shiny, healthy beard in a few days. Follow all the advice given by barber Julien, and you will not regret it. You will be proud of yourself and your beard.

  • I HAVE OILY SKIN. SHOULD I USE BEARD PRODUCTS?

    Even with oily skin, we definitely recommend using beard products for care. Your skin will not become oilier by applying the products and you will not get acne from it. Your beard and underlying skin need care, even with oily skin. Good beard products are suitable for every skin type.

    Tip: definitely don't use too much of the products. You need less than you would think.

  • I HAVE DRY AND SENSITIVE SKIN. HOW CAN I BEST CARE FOR MY BEARD?

    For every skin type, but especially for dry or sensitive skin, caring for your beard with the use of the best beard products is essential to prevent itching and skin irritations. Dry and sensitive skin needs nourishment and care.

    Tip: Beard oil is the ultimate moisturizer, both for the hair and the skin underneath. For sensitive skin, you may want to opt for an unscented version.

  • MY BEARD ITCHES. HOW CAN I AVOID THIS?

    This is common in men with a beard. With proper care, this can be avoided or at least reduced a lot. Using the right care products is essential.

    Always use a beard shampoo or beard soap before washing, and not a regular shampoo. A regular shampoo will dry out the hair and skin, making the beard feel stiff and irritating the skin. This in turn will cause itching. A beard shampoo or beard soap will not dry out the hair and skin, but will hydrate it, in addition to removing dirt. If you suffer from itching, always use a beard conditioner after washing. A beard conditioner will nourish and hydrate the beard and skin, preventing the skin from drying out and thus preventing itching.

    For further optimal care, you will use a beard oil daily. This moisturizing oil nourishes, protects and softens. The oil also hydrates the underlying skin and thus reduces skin irritation and consequently also itching. Apply a few drops of beard oil and then massage the oil into your beard. Distribute the oil evenly from the roots to the tips and use a beard comb or a beard brush for this.

    Then you can style and shape it with a beard balm .

    Beard shampoo, beard soap, beard conditioner and beard oil mainly have a caring function and contribute most to avoiding or reducing the itch. The beard balm has besides the caring function, also a styling function.

    Finally, this tip: try to leave your beard alone as much as possible during the day. When you constantly touch your beard with your hands, the skin underneath becomes irritated, which in turn leads to itching. If you suffer from this, definitely do not scratch. An itchy beard means that the skin underneath is dry and flakes form on the skin. If you scratch, these flakes end up in the beard and you get beardruff.

  • IN WINTER, MY BEARD IS EVEN MORE ITCHY, EVEN IF I FOLLOW THE BARBER’S ADVICE. HOW CAN I AVOID THIS IN WINTER?

    When it gets colder in the winter, beard care is even more important because you can suffer more from itching in the cold. The skin becomes drier in the winter than in the other seasons and therefore needs more nourishment in the cold.

    If you suffer from an itchy beard in cold weather, you should brush it with a beard brush after washing it with beard shampoo or beard soap before applying beard conditioner and beard oil . In winter, washing and nourishing your beard is not enough. In winter, your skin has more dead skin cells than in other seasons, which causes flakes to form more quickly. These dead skin cells and flakes prevent the nutrients from the products used from reaching the skin. This gives you a stiff, hard and dry beard, dry skin and therefore a lot of itching. With a beard brush you brush away the dead skin cells and flakes , which allows the nutrients to reach the underlying skin better, so that your beard will itch less. This step, brushing the beard after washing and before applying beard conditioner and beard oil, is essential to prevent itching in cold weather.

    After brushing, you can continue the care in the usual way by using a beard oil , which you use on a dry beard. The oil will nourish the beard and the underlying skin. Because the dead skin cells and flakes have been removed, the skin and hair will be able to absorb the oil very well. By using a beard comb , you can easily distribute the oil over the entire beard. Finally, you can style it with the beard balm .

  • THE SKIN UNDER MY BEARD IS DRY AND FLAKY. HOW CAN I AVOID THIS?

    The sebaceous glands of the beard hairs produce oil to ensure that the underlying skin does not dry out. However, when your beard starts to grow, this oil is absorbed by the hairs themselves instead of by the skin. The underlying skin does not get enough nourishment and therefore starts to dry out. This causes skin flakes and itching . The flakes also end up in the beard and these flakes give an unkempt appearance. With a good beard oil to use, the underlying skin is nourished and hydrated. As a result, the skin does not dry out, which means that the beard does not itch and no beard flakes develop.

  • MY BEARD FEELS STIFF AND HARD. HOW CAN I KEEP IT SOFT?

    Even with a stiff, hard beard, the care products ( beard shampoo , beard soap , beard conditioner and beard oil ) are the solution. These products nourish, protect and soften it. They provide the hairs and underlying skin with sufficient nutrients. Because the beard is well hydrated, it feels soft and shines beautifully. The soft hairs also prick the skin less, causing less skin irritation. Softer hairs are also easier to comb or brush and style. To style your beard, use a beard balm .

  • HOW DO I CARE AND STYLE MY MOUSTACHE?

    To wash your moustache, you also use a beard shampoo or beard soap , and not regular shampoo or soap.
