Beard Care Tin: Styling and Conditioning Short Beards

Quick Answer

Use the Proraso Beard Care Tin to keep your balm and tools organized, then apply a small amount of beard balm to a damp, towel-dried beard to style and condition short facial hair.

How to Style and Condition a Short Beard with the Beard Care Tin

1. Start with a clean, damp beard: Wash your beard with a mild cleanser and pat it dry with a towel until it's damp, not dripping. This helps the balm spread evenly. Checkpoint: If your beard is too wet, the balm won't absorb well.
2. Scrape out a pea-sized amount of balm: Use the back of your thumbnail or a small spatula to scoop a pea-sized amount from the tin. Short beards need less product than longer ones. Checkpoint: Start with less; you can always add more.
3. Rub the balm between your palms: Rub your hands together for a few seconds to warm the balm and melt it into an even layer. This prevents clumping. Checkpoint: If you see white streaks, you didn't warm it enough.
4. Apply to your beard in downward strokes: Smooth your palms over your beard from the cheeks down to the chin, then use your fingers to work the balm into the roots. This conditions the hair and helps shape it. Checkpoint: Focus on the ends to avoid a greasy look near the skin.
5. Style with a comb or your fingers: Use a beard comb or your fingers to train the hairs in your desired direction. For short beards, a quick comb-through is enough to tame flyaways. Checkpoint: Don't overcomb—this can make the beard look flat.
