Even though 40% of men have never tried a skincare product designed for men, that’s still a pretty big change from how it used to be in the past, where men would shy away from doing anything good for their skin and hair. Skin and hair care products for men are flying off the shelves faster than ever before.
Even beard care is becoming a huge thing. And that’s where beard wax comes in. If you have a mustache or beard and wonder how to use beard wax to have the best facial hair ever, please read the following guide.
How to Use Beard Wax
The first thing to remember when using beard or mustache wax is that you don’t need a lot of it! You don’t want to overload your beard with the product. That’s why always just scrape out a little bit of wax with your fingernail.
Place the beard wax onto your palm (not fingers as you will be there all day) and then rub your palms together vigorously. This will allow the beard wax to melt and become softer. Distribute the mustache wax onto your palm evenly and then apply gently to your beard or mustache.
Always run your hands from root to tip to encourage growth in the right direction. Don’t forget about the underside of your beard or mustache.
If you can, invest in a good boar bristle brush and use that to evenly distribute the wax into your beard, by running the brush from the root to the tip. It will make your beard or mustache appear fuller. Your beard should be sitting nicely now. And all the wispy untamed hairs should be in place.
Beard Balm vs Wax
Are you wondering about the difference between beard balms and mustache beard waxes? Good question. If you have a medium-sized beard, then you could use a beard balm to give it that basic hold. It makes your beard soft, tames flyaway hair, and locks in moisture.
The best beard wax does almost the same thing as a beard balm, but it’s meant for a stronger hold. So if you have a long beard or require more holding capacity, then a beard wax would be for you.
In short, beard balm is a conditioning product with some styling capacity. Whereas, beard wax is a styling product with some conditioning capacity.
