Beard Best Practices

Finely tuned beard
There are two ways to grow a beard. First, is by just not shaving. Second, is actually optimizing the growth potential and personal style of your facial hair. In the second approach, growing a beard is an art form where patience meets grooming excellence. While the journey of beard growth can vary from man to man, certain tricks can help you to achieve your facial hair masterpiece. Let's dive into the essentials of cultivating a beard that not only stands out but also compliments your natural features.

Consume and Apply Nutrients

A well-nourished beard begins with a well-nourished body. Consume foods rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E, along with minerals like zinc and biotin, which are crucial for hair strength and growth. While your diet plays a foundational role, applying the right nutrients externally is equally important. Products like Ragnarodney’s Beard Oil are infused with natural oils that feed your beard, keeping it soft, hydrated, and maximize its growth potential.

Cut to Complement

Understanding the shape of your face and trimming your beard to enhance your features can turn a good beard into a great one. Not every beard style suits every face, so experiment and find what accentuates your best features. Whether it's a rugged full beard or a finely sculpted goatee, the right cut is out there.

Embrace Imperfection

The pursuit of the perfect beard can often lead to over-grooming. Remember, a beard is a natural, living extension of your personality. Small imperfections add character. Instead of obsessing over symmetry or density, focus on the overall health and feel of your beard.

Gentle Grooming

Overbrushing or overtrimming can hinder your beard's potential and even cause damage. Use a quality brush, like those available in Ragnarodney's grooming collection, to gently untangle and style. Pair it with our beard oil to keep the hair soft and manageable, reducing the need for frequent trims.

Brushing Tip: 

Some people don't like the "scratchy" quality of the boar bristles, but that very quality is what helps to flush your skin, causing more blood and therefore nutrients to the areas you want growth, as well as removing more dead skin from pores. The "scratchiness" is actually a benefit, as long as you don't OVER-brush and cause irritation to your skin or damage to your beard. 

Give patchy or thin areas a little extra brushing to promote more beard and hair growth.

Let It Grow

When in doubt, give your beard time. Many men find themselves at a crossroads, unsure if their beard is "working." More often than not, a bit more length reveals the beard's true potential. Patience is your best friend during this journey. When you're first starting your beard, let it grow out for at least a month to see what you're working with.

Accentuating Your Natural Features

Your beard is a powerful tool to highlight your natural features. Use its shape and volume to balance your face's proportions, draw attention to your eyes, or even camouflage areas you're less fond of. The key is to work with your beard, not against it.

Beards best friend.

This is it! This is the stuff! I’ve been looking for the right oil and products for years. And I’ve tried tons! But this by far has the best feeling and smell. When you put the oil in your beard, it isn’t sticky and doesn’t make you feel like you put engine oil on your face! Instead it feels like the heavenly dew from the branches of Yggdrasil itself have fallen and nestled onto your beard making you feel like a true Norse God! I guarantee Thor himself uses these products on his golden facial hair. It is just so light and refreshing! It feels perfect it feels right! And the SMELL!!!! I probably look like an idiot the way I’m smelling my beard nonstop. When you look up Ragnarodney in the dictionary it says “What God intended Man to smell like”. Needless to say, these are the greatest products in all 9 worlds. Truly your Beards best friend hands down!!!!

A great scent

I chose the original scent. A couple drops in the beard and it's good to go.

I would like to suggest something to add to the product line. A leave-in beard conditioner might be the just the thing to bring some control to my full beard. It would be good to have now, but once it reaches ZZ Top length, it will probably be necessary. Maybe ideally it would be something for weekly or monthly use that you leave in for one, or a few hours before showering.

I tried this with coconut oil once, leaving it in for maybe five hours before showering. It did do some good for a few days at least, but it was not an oil that I would want to use when I'm going out.

Classic scent

I have tried products that are too strong and you can almost taste it over the course of the day, but this classic scent doesn't over power the senses. It is all natural and leaves a subtle lasting aroma and is pleasing to everyone around you.
