Beard Care 101: A Quick Guide to Choosing the Right Products for Every Beard Style

Christmas is just around the corner, and if you're shopping for bearded gent you’ve come to the right place! By using quality, natural beard care products bearded men across Australia can look and feel their best with minimal fuss.

Whether his beard is short like Chris Hemsworth’s, mid-length like Jason Momoa’s, or as long as Ned Kelly’s, our easy-to-follow guide will help you pick the right products to share this Christmas.

BEARD OIL

  • Suitable for all beard lengths.
  • Purpose: To stop dry, itchy and flaky skin beneath the beard, and to strengthen and hydrate the beard hair itself.
  • Note: Our beard oil recipe is non-greasy and is designed to absorb into the skin within 5 minutes, if applied correctly. Our beard oils are available in a variety of scents that are perfectly balanced, not overwhelming.

 FOAMING BEARD SHAMPOO

  • Suitable for: All beard lengths.
  • Purpose: To gently wash away dirt, sweat, and bolognaise sauce, and to prevent a build-up of beard care products on the skin beneath the beard.
  • Note: It’s very important not to use hair shampoo for washing your beard! Hair shampoos are designed to strip the oil from the scalp. This level of cleansing is too harsh for the delicate skin on your face and it can cause skin irrigation and excessive dryness.

 BEARD BALM

  • Suitable for: Short to longer length beards.
  • Purpose: Beard balm is a styling product that helps to style and shape the beard with a medium-hold.  Beard balm is great for taming flyaway hairs, especially along the jawline, and for keeping the beard looking neat and tidy in between barber visits.

 BEARD BUTTER

  • Suitable for: Medium to longer length beards.
  • Purpose: Beard butter deeply hydrates and genuinely softens the beard, making it feel smooth and look well-groomed. Odyssey Beard Co’s beard butter is filled with nourishing natural ingredients that softens even the most coarse and dry beards.

 BEARD BRUSH

  • Suitable for: All beard lengths, even the stubble stage.
  • Purpose: A beard brush exfoliates the skin beneath the beard, and helps distribute beard oil, beard balm and beard butter evenly throughout the beard.

 BEARD COMB

  • Suitable for: Medium to longer length beards.
  • Purpose: A beard comb is used to detangle the beard and evenly distribute beard products.

Choosing high quality, natural beard care products can make all the difference in keeping a beard looking and feeling its best. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or a special bearded gent in your life, this guide will help you pick the right products.
