Makes total sense!

I always brush my beard out right after a shower while it's wet and fully hydrated. To me oil and water doesn't mix. Then I use a hairdryer on medium heat to dry a little bit and set the hairs for styling. Then I put my oil or butter in and then ease through it with my de tangler brush. Then use my boar bristle brush with the hairdryer to brush and pull the hairs back into place after running my oily fingers through and the heat seems to help the oil to move throughout my beard. Sounds like a long process but it takes me less than 5 minutes.

+1 on applying oil when your beard is very damp. It makes a huge difference in how long my beard stays relaxed an malleable, instead of immediately getting stiff after applying oil dry. I would also throw in a recommendation to only use heat when there is oil in your beard, to protect it. It prevents heat damage completely, if done right.

This x100. When I asked you about combing during the day and you talked about how it was bad to do all of the time, I realized how much shedding I was doing, whenever I was combing without water. I don't know how accurate or correct this is either, but running a number 7 or number 8 through my daughters hair after her shower, makes her hair so much better later when she brushes it in the morning. I assumed combing or brushing wet head hair, vs beard hair, had similar characteristics.

Boom, there it is!

I've commented about this once before, and you rebutted saying hair breaking easier when wet was a myth, but you wouldn't elaborate further when I asked, so I figured a video was coming out. Really glad it came out soon, because the silence made me dig into the research further. The suspense was killing me. Lol. It really got me thinking about things. First off, I do comb or brush my beard almost exclusively when it's damp, right after applying oil, then again when I put butter in it. I have an extremely dry and curly red beard, so combing dry is almost impossible. However, if I straighten it, I apply beard balm. I use honest amish's balm almost exclusively, but I will use a butter with wax in it occasionally, like bahawat or Detroit grooming. If my beard has balm in it and it's straight, I don't have a hard time restyling with a comb for four or five hours after I've straightened then applied balm/butter. I only ever comb it with balm in it with the Chicago combs #8, because it doesn't cause my curly beard to bunch up at the end, and pull hairs. I don't tend to have a problem with tangles so much as the ends of my hairs getting bunched together at the end of the comb, due to the sheer volume I'm trying to move through the comb, so the #6 I style it with is out of the question. Since I started doing things this way six months ago, I haven't had but five or six split ends, and half of those were holdovers from when I combed more aggressively. I check a couple times a week for a half hour or so, and haven't found one in a few months. Now, the research I've read, and I've read a fair amount, although it's extremely hard to find, has all said that hair breaks easier when it's soaked. Not necessarily damp, but soaked and waterlogged. Hair absorbs 30% of it's weight in water when it's submerged, and that causes molecules to spread further apart, weakening the bonds in your hair. While beard hair is thicker, it still has the same chemical and physical properties as head hair, so it's still going to break easier, so I don't comb with conditioner in, just in case I do ever have a snag. With hair being so much more elastic when it's wet, the likelihood of it stretching beyond it's ability to self repair is far greater. That's what the science says. The amount of force it takes to damage wet hair is far less than the amount of force it takes to damage dry hair, because of that extra elasticity. I understand why people do it, because it does glide through the hair easier. I just don't, because I don't want to accidentally hit a tangle I don't know about, damaging a few hairs. Also, I'm a little concerned that combing with conditioner in will cause more of it to contact my skin, and that's not good for your skin. It tends to trap dirt and salts in once it's been allowed to coat your skin. I think you've done a video about it at some point. I don't believe combing dry is the answer, and I believe combing when it's saturated can be just as bad. So, I work it right in the middle, after oiling, because I always oil when my beard is really damp, almost still dripping, but not quite, so the hair is still a little more elastic and relaxed. You've probably already read it, but check out the "chemical and physical properties of hair" and the research it links, if you haven't. There is a ridiculous amount of information in it. It's all head hair stuff, but the chemical properties should be the same. I really appreciate everything you do, as always, man. You've changed my beard game and life completely. Keep up the great work, brother. God bless you and your family. 🤘🏻

I’m a night truck driver and before my shift I always use my beard and beard jelly so it won’t dry up as fast. Now throughout my shift I don’t comb it I gently brush it using a Wooden Boar Hair Soft Bristle Brush. My beard is about 6 inches long from my jaw line the reason why I brush it is because on right side I have a few curls that I’ve been training not to curl. Slowly but surely it has been working.
