Q&A for How to Straighten Beard Hairs

You can train your beard and help it lay flatter by using beard balm. The oils will help soften and relax your beard hair.

Use a beard balm or oil and try not to wash your beard too frequently. If your beard is dry, it will feel coarse.

Beards can be straight, wavy, or curly. The texture of your beard may be dramatically different from the rest of your hair.

Coconut oil will soften and protect your beard. However, it can cause breakouts, so if you have acne-prone skin you may not want to use it.

If used correctly, heated beard straighteners can be very effective. Make sure to use safety precautions such as making sure that your beard is completely dry before straightening it and applying a moisturizer when you’re done to minimize damage.

Straightening your beard is just one way to keep it groomed. Whether you want to keep it straight or not, keep your beard tidy by coming through it with a wide-toothed comb. Apply a balm or moisturizer to keep frizz and flyaways under control and prevent damage. Trim your beard regularly to maintain an even shape and get rid of dried and damaged ends.

While chemical straighteners and perms can change the texture of your current hair permanently, there’s no way to prevent new hair from growing in wavy or curly. Some peoples’ hair naturally changes texture with age, however.
