Beard balm is a conditioning and styling product made from a blend of shea butter, beeswax, and nourishing carrier oils. It softens and moisturizes your beard while providing medium hold for shaping and taming flyaway hairs. The beeswax adds structure, helping you style your beard and keep it in place throughout the day, while the shea butter and oils hydrate both the hair and the skin underneath.
Yes. Beard oil hydrates the skin and softens the hair, while beard balm adds moisture and provides a light to medium hold for shaping and styling. Start by applying beard oil and let it absorb for a few minutes. Then apply beard balm as a top coat, working it through your beard to tame flyaways and keep your beard looking neat and styled throughout the day.
No. When used correctly, beard balm feels lightweight and smooth. Start with a small amount and thoroughly melt it between your palms by warming it with your hands. Once fully melted, apply it evenly to the top of your beard hair. Use a comb to distribute the balm evenly, shape your beard, and style as desired. Any leftover residue can be wiped onto your hands, elbows, or arms.
Beard balm is generally best suited for medium to long beards, typically around 1.5 inches (about 4 cm) or longer. It provides hold and control, helping to tame flyaways and keep the beard looking neat and well-groomed. For stubble or very short beards, beard balm is usually not recommended since the hair is too short to benefit from its styling properties.
Beard balm contains beeswax, which provides hold for styling and shaping your beard. Beard butter focuses more on deep conditioning and softening the hair for a natural, nourished feel and a relaxed look.
For best results, apply beard balm once a day as part of your daily grooming routine to keep your beard moisturized, styled, and manageable, whether you’re heading to work, going out on the town, or simply enjoying time in the great outdoors. Be sure to apply beard oil first to nourish the skin underneath, then use beard balm as a top coat to provide hold and tame flyaway hairs.
