It is said that most men spend less than 10 minutes getting ready for their day. To this we say, “well, they’ve never grown a beard.”
We stand by this bearded man's clap-back, but here is a concise beard regimen that will help keep your beard in tip-top shape and get you out the door quicker.
- Brush
Before you get into the shower, gently dry brush your beard in a slow circular motion. This may take a few extra minutes depending on the length and texture of your beard.
This step is important as it opens your pores and it begins the process of untangling your beard. It also feels amazing - consider it a mini beard massage to start off your day.
Use a wooden brush with soft bristles for best results. Get yours here: Mandevu Beard Brush.
2. Trim
This does not need to be done everyday. Incorporate this step into your routine once every 1-2 weeks depending on your growth rate. Trimming gets rid of split ends which speeds up growth and aids in keeping your beard smooth and tangle free.

3.Wash
Your beard is a lover of good hygiene. Use a shampoo 1-2 times a week. Our beard wash also doubles as a hair wash which will save you time in the shower.

Simply use lukewarm water to wash your beard on the days you don't use your wash.
4.Moisturize
At this point, your follicles are open, your beard is minty fresh and your ends are detangled. This is the perfect time to add your beard oil and beard balm and let those nutrients get soaked up. Gently massage a few drops of oil and a dab of balm into and all over your beard.

5.Brush
This routine comes back full circle. Brushing will further infuse the oil and balm and it will make styling much easier. Incorporate a beard comb if you have a specific style in mind as your hair will be malleable enough by this stage. Our beard comb comes with both thin and thick teeth, making it easier for you to experiment as many styles as you’d like until you find your perfect one.
