Daily Beard Care Routine
The Best Order to Apply Beard Products
The biggest beard care mistake is using good products in the wrong order. Follow this simple routine to clean the beard, hydrate the skin underneath, soften coarse hair, and style without buildup.
Wash
Use beard wash to remove sweat, excess oil, food, and product buildup without treating your beard like regular head hair.
Condition
Use beard conditioner after washing to help soften rough beard hair and make the beard easier to comb, brush, and style. *Recommended 1-2 times a week, or as need.
Oil
Apply beard oil to the skin under your beard first, then work it through the hair to help reduce dryness, itch, and flakes.
Soften
Use Beard Butta when your beard needs extra softness, overnight conditioning, or a fuller, more relaxed feel.
Style
Finish with beard balm or wax when you need light hold, shape, flyaway control, or a more intentional look.
Product Guide
What Each Beard Product Does
Not every beard needs every product every day. Use this guide to match the right product to the problem you are trying to solve.
Beard Wash
Beard wash cleans the beard and skin underneath without relying on harsh, general-purpose shampoo.
- Best for: buildup, sweat, food, excess oil
- Use: pH balanced for daily use
Beard Conditioner
Beard conditioner helps soften coarse beard hair after washing and helps medium and long beards feel easier to manage.
- Best for: softness, manageability, tangles, repairs damaged hair
- Use: after beard wash, 1-2x a week (or as needed)
Beard Oil
Beard oil is for the skin first. Massage it down to the roots, then distribute the rest through the beard hair.
- Best for: dry skin, beard itch, flakes, daily care
- Use: daily, especially after showering
Beard Butta
Beard Butta softens, conditions, and relaxes the beard
- Best for: deep softness, overnight care, dry beard hair
- Use: immediately after applying beard oil, and at night before bed
Beard Balm and Wax
Beard balm and wax help shape your beard, tame flyaways, and create a cleaner finished style.
- Best for: hold, shape, flyaway control
- Use: after oil or butta when styling
Combs, Brushes and Tools
The right grooming tool spreads product evenly, trains the beard, detangles without pulling, and helps your beard sit the way you want it to.

Quick Answers
Build Your Routine by Beard Length
Short beards need skin hydration and itch control. Medium beards need softness and daily direction. Long beards need a full routine that supports the skin, conditions the hair, and keeps the beard shaped without feeling heavy.
- Short Beard: Wash your beard daily. Dry your beard, and while still damp, apply Beard Oil while focusing on the skin underneath of the beard hairs. Brush lightly to train growth direction.
- Medium Beard: Wash your beard daily, only condition 1-2x a week (or as needed). Dry your beard, and while still damp, apply Beard Oil while focusing on the skin underneath of the beard hairs. Use either Beard Butta to reduce dryness and keep the beard soft, or Beard Balm to style & hold.
- Long Beard: Wash your beard daily, only condition 1-2x a week (or as needed). Dry your beard, and while still damp, apply Beard Oil while focusing on the skin underneath of the beard hairs. Use either Beard Butta to reduce dryness, keep the beard soft, and tame unwanted flyaways.
- Dry or Itchy Beard: Wash your beard daily, do not use hair shampoo or body wash on your beard (higher pH & detergent will dry your skin & beard out). Dry your beard, and while still damp, apply Beard Oil while focusing on the skin underneath of the beard hairs. Brush lightly to train growth direction.
