Beard gifts overview: the beard care products in this list
If you’re new to the world of beards (welcome), don’t panic. We’ve got the low down on what each beard care product is all about, so you’ll know your balms from your oils in no time.
Beard oil: Beard oil is a leave-in beard care product that hydrates beard hair and moisturises the skin underneath. The result? Less itch, softer hair, a better smell and stronger growth.
Beard balm: Beard balms behave like beard oils, but the most effective ones contain shea butter and beeswax. These stop your beard and underlying skin from getting dry, while giving added control to combat frizzy flyaways and help your beard hold its style.
Beard shampoo: Beard shampoo cleans your beard, removing dirt, dry skin, and other nasty impurities, without stripping away your skin’s natural oils.
Beard brush: Beard brushes keep the hair on your chinny chin chin neat and tidy, while detangling any unsightly knots.
Beard kits: Beard kits contain multiple beard care items in one handy kit - the perfect beard gift when you just can’t choose what to buy.
So without further ado, let’s jump into our rundown of the best gifts for bearded men.
