1. Don’t use shampoo on your face

Seriously guys, this is a big no-no! Your head and facial hair are different types of skin. This means, where shampoo with chemicals and all kinds of other smell-goody crap (you should be careful with what you use) might not be that bad for your head hair, the same isn’t always true for your face.

Facial skin is a bit more sensitive. Using shampoo on your beard will probably leave you feeling like you just blow-dried your beard…hot, dried out, rendering split-ends. This can also leave you feeling like your face is tight, dried out, and can even crack!



Instead of grabbing the Old Spice bottle, use a natural beard wash that will hydrate the skin / orgin of where you beard grows from. Apply every other day while you shower, or even every day as this will help soften, and make your beard smell amazing! We personally love using Kalamazoo by LUSH. However, if I may plug, look forward to Northwest B/S putting one out next year (2017)! Regardless, beard wash is essential for keeping your face smelling good, and softening up that wirey sucker.
