Black Men Beards

Black men are generally more prone to ingrown hairs, due to the nature of tightly coiled hair. If you shave regularly, you are even more likely to experience ingrown hairs as you begin to grow out your beard. Make sure you shave in the direction that your hair grows using a clean, sharp razor best suited for your needs. It’s also important not to neglect the skin under your beard. Exfoliate regularly and keep your skin and beard moisturized. Combing your beard will help evenly distribute your hair and skin’s natural oils. You can also use a beard oil or moisturizer to combat dryness. Not all beard products are made equal, so try to look for products specifically designed for the unique needs of curly/coily hair. Properly maintaining your beard will help it look and feel its best.

Whether you decide to trim and shape up your beard yourself or let your barber do it, you want to make sure you have the right tools and products to help you maintain the look at home. This includes a beard cleanser, a beard comb, and a beard conditioner/moisturizer. Using the right products (and using them often) will make all the difference in how your beard looks and feels. Do a little research online and/or ask your barber for specific product recommendations. You may need to try a few different products until you find the right ones for you. Don’t let that discourage you though; everyone’s hair and skin are different, so not every product will be effective for everyone. If you trim and shape up your beard at home, make sure you invest in good quality hair shears, razors, and clippers. Here are 35 beard styles for Black men.
