Why Should You Use Beard Oil? The Key to a Healthy, Well-Groomed Beard

Why Should You Use Beard Oil? The Key to a Healthy, Well-Groomed Beard

If your beard feels rough, itchy, or dry, you're missing a crucial step in your grooming routine: beard oil. Whether you're growing a short, neat beard or a full, thick mane, using beard oil is the difference between a beard that looks unkempt and one that feels soft, healthy, and strong.

Let’s break down why beard oil is essential, what it does for your skin and hair, and how it transforms your beard care routine.


What Does Beard Oil Do for Your Beard and Skin?

Prevents Dryness and Itchiness – Keeps both your beard and the skin underneath hydrated.
Softens and Strengthens Beard Hair – Reduces roughness, making it easier to comb and maintain.
Eliminates Beard Dandruff ("Beardruff") – Stops flaking by keeping the skin nourished.
Encourages Healthier Beard Growth – Strengthens hair follicles and reduces breakage.
Enhances Your Beard’s Appearance – Adds a natural shine and keeps it looking well-groomed.


1. Hydrates and Prevents Beard Itch

One of the biggest complaints from men growing a beard is constant itchiness. That’s because dry skin beneath your beard lacks the natural oils it needs to stay healthy.

👉 Solution: Beard oil mimics your skin’s natural oils, preventing dryness and flaking. Just a few drops relieve irritation and keep your beard feeling comfortable all day.


2. Softens and Strengthens Your Beard

Without moisture, beard hair becomes coarse, wiry, and prone to breakage. This makes it harder to manage, leading to tangles and split ends.

👉 Solution: Beard oil penetrates deep into the hair shaft, softening it from the inside out. A softer beard is easier to style, comb, and maintain.


3. Eliminates Beard Dandruff ("Beardruff")

Dry, flaky skin underneath your beard leads to embarrassing white flakes on your shirt—just like scalp dandruff. This happens when your skin becomes dehydrated due to washing with harsh soaps or exposure to cold weather.

👉 Solution: Using beard oil daily keeps the skin beneath your beard moisturized, stopping beardruff before it starts.


4. Encourages Healthy Growth & Reduces Patchiness

A dry, brittle beard is more likely to break, leading to slow growth and patchy spots.

👉 Solution: Beard oil strengthens hair follicles and reduces breakage, helping your beard grow in thicker and fuller over time.


5. Enhances Your Beard’s Appearance

A well-maintained beard looks better—plain and simple. Beard oil adds a natural shine, reduces frizz, and keeps your beard looking fresh instead of dull or scruffy.

👉 Bonus: Ragnarodney’s signature beard oils also provide a subtle, long-lasting fragrance, so your beard smells as good as it looks.


How to Use Beard Oil for Maximum Results

Apply After a Shower – Helps absorb better when pores are open.
Use 3-6 Drops – Adjust based on your beard’s length.
Massage Into the Skin – Hydrates the roots, not just the beard.
Comb or Brush Through – Evenly distributes the oil and prevents tangles.

Pro Tip: Consistency is key. Using beard oil daily ensures your beard stays soft, hydrated, and healthy.

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.
