i cant stop touching my beard

Because I stroke my beard, sometimes when I practice kendo I find myself doing the stroking movement over my head armour! The power of habit is very strong!

Thanks for the videos. I'm 37 and oddly enough have never grown out my facial hair ever. I'm about 2 months of full growth. I really appreciate all the toys and knowledge. Really really helps

I LOVE how much you promote knowledge and use of NATURAL products!!!

I heard that playing with my beard will make me go blind, it's pretty scary. I don't know if I can stop, my wife caught me in the bathroom and twice in the shower. Please help, I'm afraid I can't stop!

I’m growing out a beard for the first time and I exercise everyday with a few showers a day. Would you recommend to wash the beard everyday or break it up? Don’t want to dry it out. Thanks love the videos

I'm 5 months in with my beard. my gf loves it. I was complimented the other day being told, I have an"exceptional"beard. Haha.

It IS chalenging! I stroke my beard a lot, but one thing I should stop right now is the picking at this specific point right at the corner of the mouth where mustache and beard join together... feels very good, but every now and then a hair falls or breaks when I get too intense with it (hate it when that happens).

mind blowing video, Man!!!!!!!

Touching my beard is definitely what I do the most! I didn't realize I was causing split ends... I had heard you saying that before, but I thought I heard wrong. About washing the beard, there have been studies that have proven that beards do have some type of bacteria. It doesn't make you sick, but it's dirty. Now, I am the type of guy who washes his beard on a daily basis. I do avoid applying shampoo on it every day (same with my hair, too.) When I do, I apply Head & Shoulders Hair Endurance. I will consider getting a beard wash. Lastly, how often do you recommend trimming? What I hate about it is that I love my beard at its thickest, and when I trim, I eliminate that.

@Beardbrand

9 жыл бұрын

That poop article was proven to not be a science based article and came down to people washing their hands. I recommend trimming over the course of a few days and only take a little bit off. To maintain length, do it once every 1.5 months and if you are growing long, only trim once every 4 to 6 months. I've done a couple of trimming videos.

Best advice I have ever taken has simply been let it grow and leave it alone.

i have such a spot but i cant stop,the difference is noticable

I've been growing my beard out for almost 2 months now and my Go-T has been growing out since the beginning of August and so its fairly thick now and the rest of it is coming in. i have yet to wash it. i always run it under water but i never shampoo it

I do all of those things from time to time

what about washing/cleaning your beard with coconut oil?

Stress ball! that's right! I didn't think of that! I'm here tearing my beard apart all day long 😢😅

I'm growing my goatee only since February and it was really itchy and uncomfortable in the beginning, to the point I was dying to just shave it off, but I persisted and is stopped feeling that way as it kept growing. I used to pick at it a lot back then, but now I barely touch it and when I do, I don't pick it but rather stroke it.

Voran Polare Well, I just posted one about 3 weeks ago: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k4COrdGjc9iym9I.html Did you see that one?

I have this same issue , I end up leaving a bald patch and end then end up shaving it off

How often you would you consider combing excessive?

I use Jason Tea Tree Oil ( I add extra Tea Tree) Body Wash & Burt's Bee's Pomegranate Conditioner to clean and soften my beard. I then use your beard oil mixed with another I have. About 3 times a week. With almost daily beard oil treatment besides. So I think I am OK on having a safe cleaning regimen. I am working on better foods most of the time (mostly organic) & I juice 5 times a week. I am avoiding Soy Products. And the weight lifting & walking will begin after I loose another 15 pounds. AND I am only 4 1/2 months in on the beard. At a year I will have the beard trimmed for the first time. We'll see how evenly filled in it actually becomes.

i work in construction and what recommendations as to beard shampoo's. should i use

I know I’m late to this video but I have a question to ask if you don’t mind Eric ? I have a bad habit of “rubbing” my palm across my face to feel the stubbles a lot usually as I’m trying grow a longer beard. I’ve noticed that sometimes as my beard grows out longer my soul patch seems to have less coverage with some beards I grow … it’s one of the main part of my beard that I constantly rub ( almost automatically) during the stubble phase. Other beards I’ve grown out before as I analyze them in pictures …the soul patch looks very evenly distributed and thicker. I know it’s kind of a silly question …but Is it possible that I had been rubbing the stubble too much in that spot during that stage of growth? Normally I rub that area with my fingers when I’m thinking or reading ! lol 🤔 New subscriber! 👍

Will the hairless area due to pulling grow back?

Okay, I have a question about the shampoo and conditioner for the beard. I typically use AXE thickening shampoo or an axe shampoo/conditioner. Would these qualify as abrasive to a beard? Also, I recently purchased and began using beard conditioning oil. Should conditioning oil replace using conditioner in the shower?

@theULTIMATEanswer42

you should use a natural shampoo like pine tar or Dr broners (sp?), most commercial shampoos strip far too many of the natural oils that protect your beard.

My beard curls a little at the bottom don't own a hair dryer how can I straighten it with out it

Great topic, plucking is really my bad habit. But I've seen you using a blow dryer in your daily routine videos. Doesn't this ruin the hair too? And after all this damage done, is there a way to "heal" the beard, or is trimming the only solution?

@Beardbrand

9 жыл бұрын

Andrew Snow A hair dryer won't damage your beard if you use it properly. It's when you use it for too long and too hot that you start to encounter issues. But the only way to fix split ends is by trimming them off.

Would the tea tree oil shampoo and conditioner that you can buy in salons be equally effective. Its all natural and no harmful additives. Also every morning when I comb my beard lots of hairs fall out but I'm very careful to not pull on the comb when it gets stuck. Any advice?

@halfstep67

Jesse S Eric sells some great products so see if there is anything that you may like. For beard cleaning, use a good hand made soap. I use grandpa's pine tar soap and it works great. It doesn't strip away the natural oils. Also use a good beard oil or beard balm and apply to a damp beard after a shower. A great beard brush is the LUXOR PRO "WET" BRUSH FOR MEN. It is a very gentle brush and inexpensive. It's the best brush I have ever used and I have tried quite a few.Beard oil vs. beard balm. Oils work well but if you have any length to your beard, I prefer a beard balm. A balm usually has some bees wax and that helps to cling to the hairs better. Oils work great as well but doesn't seem to last as long as the balm does.

i know its an old video but i think its related to stress and anxiety

Just after the video started, I was playing with my single hairs, and I laughed hard, when you told it's the worst thing :D Yeah, I know, I experienced this when I noticed plucked my hair out...and I still do this. :S Some of my hairs plucked out so easly and without any pain, but with root of the hair. So yeah, it's very bad habit, I totally agree.

Put a rubber band around your wrist, and every time you reach to pick at your beard, snap the rubber band to give yourself a sting.

I do all of these bad habits. I don't even realize I'm pulling it half the time. My wife has to yell at me all the time lol.

I think what eric was trying to say is: reduce the time you touch your beard and do not torture it. fidgeting it is bad. I got my hands on a "Mudras Chain" and from then on i enjoy touching my beard much more than before, because most of the time I take out my stress on the mudras chain beads and not on my beard..

After having a lengthy beard for more than two years I destroyed it by trimming only. I cut it down to about Eric's length and I regret it. I have had my beard now 3 years and would never think of getting rid of it, but the short beard look is not really me.

I think i'm touching my beard too much aswell. The left side of my beard kinda looks thinner and i think it's mostly because im touching that side way more. Now i don't know if i should just keep it growing or trim it down a bit to look more even. And of course somehow try to touch it less.
