CHOOSING TO GROW A BEARD AND THEN STAYING THE COURSE

September 30, 2022

Have you ever floated the idea of growing a beard and have you ever ran that idea past your partner? If you have and haven’t yet grown, this article is for you. We’re not talking about spindly bum fluff or the little grub you once grew on your top lip for Movember. We’re talking about the kind of beard that Ned Kelly would be proud of. Read on if you’re ready to step up into the upper echelon of manhood because today we’re going to walk you through the process.

1. Make The Commitment

The first and foremost step in this journey is to commit. It is somewhat like getting married, you need to lock yourself into the process until death do you part. Stand by the path you have chosen and to let your inner manliness carry you forth in your quest.


2. Don’t Loose Your Job

The perfect time to get through the initial stages of beard growth is during a vacation from the workplace or while you’re on holidays. This is usually a time when you can let things get a little messy and without too much consequence. The stubble phase can look rugged on some guys but usually it just looks rough and lazy, so whenever possible it is best to grow through this stage when you have some downtime scheduled.


3. Nobody Told Me About The Itch

The painful part in growing a beard comes in the form of ‘the itch’ or ‘beard itch’. It usually kicks in once you start to make any real progress. The good news is that it can be managed with the application of beard oil. Purchase here at Barber Industries Parramatta and apply daily at least. Rub a small amount of beard oil between your fingers and massage through the beard and down to the roots.


4. Keeping It Clean

As your beard thickens you will find that it needs a new level or care to keep it clean and free of the itch that we covered in step three. A quality beard wash is essential as well as brushing to  keep the beard tangle free and tidy.


5. Sit Back And Stroke Your Whiskers

Be proud of your voluptuous beard and of your achievement. As it lengthens it’s time for a beard line up and trim with our team of master barbers here at Barber Industries Westfield Parramatta. We can advise on the best practice and products to help your beard reach its full potential.
