I’ve been experimenting with beard oil and found applying it to a damp beard works best. How do you apply yours for maximum absorption and shine?
Applying to a damp beard is spot on—it enhances absorption. For shine, massage the oil into the skin beneath your beard first, then work it through the hair with a comb. Adjust the amount based on beard length to avoid greasiness.
Building on Aiden72’s point about massaging oil into the skin, it’s worth noting that the choice of carrier oils can significantly impact absorption and shine. For instance, jojoba oil closely mimics natural sebum, making it ideal for hydration, while argan oil adds a subtle sheen without greasiness. Additionally, applying oil to a damp beard not only enhances absorption but also helps seal in moisture, reducing frizz. For optimal results, consider experimenting with different oil blends to find one that complements your skin type and beard texture.
