How to Apply Beard Oil Like a Pro

Welcome to Hamilton Grooming! Whether you're new to the world of beard care or a seasoned enthusiast, applying beard oil correctly is crucial to maintaining a healthy, stylish beard.

At Hamilton Grooming, we want the best for your beard. We pride ourselves on crafting premium beard oils that nourish and enhance your beard, ensuring you look your best every day. Follow our step-by-step guide to get the most out of your beard oil and keep your beard looking sharp.

Step 1: Choose the Right Beard Oil

Not all beard oils are created equal. Before diving into the application process, it's essential to choose the right beard oil for your needs. Steer clear of artificial fragrances and chemicals that can irritate your skin. Jojoba oil is one of the best bases available for a beard oil and because ingredients must be listed in descending order of predominance, you can just look for a beard oil with jojoba oil listed first. Hamilton Grooming beard oils all feature jojoba oil as the number one ingredient and come in range of unique and complex scents to suit your style and use case. It's essential that your chosen beard oil contributes to your confidence as well as your beard health. Select an oil that complements your use case and style. Sentinel, a more subtle floral scent and Phantom, our unscented oil, are perfectly suited for the office or board room. Zephyr and Alpinist bring the rich scent of the outdoors to your beard while Nomad lends mysterious and spiced notes that are more pronounced and ideally suited for adventure.

Step 2: Clean Your Beard

Start with a clean slate. Wash your beard with a gentle beard shampoo to remove dirt, oil, and any product buildup. Pat your beard dry with a towel, leaving it slightly damp. This helps the beard oil absorb better and distribute evenly.

Step 3: Dispense the Right Amount

The amount of beard oil you need depends on the length and thickness of your beard. Here’s a quick guide:

• Short Beards (1-2 months of growth): 1-2 drops
• Medium Beards (3-6 months of growth): 2-4 drops
• Long Beards (6+ months of growth): 4-6 drops

Dispense the appropriate amount of oil into the palm of your hand.

Step 4: Warm the Oil

Rub your hands together to evenly distribute the oil and warm it up. Warming the oil ensures it spreads more easily through your beard and skin.

Step 5: Apply to Your Beard

Start by massaging the oil into your skin beneath your beard. This step is crucial as it keeps the skin moisturized, reducing itchiness and flakiness. Once you've covered the skin, work the oil through the length of your beard, making sure to coat every strand.

Step 6: Use a Beard Comb or Brush

To evenly distribute the oil and style your beard, use a beard comb or brush. A comb helps untangle any knots, while a brush helps to smooth and shape your beard. Combing or brushing your beard also ensures that the oil reaches the roots and tips of your hair for maximum nourishment.

Step 7: Style Your Beard

Now that your beard is well-oiled and combed, style it as desired. Apply beard butter if you prefer a more rugged, natural look or beard balm for a more groomed appearance. Either way, your beard will look and feel healthier with a proper application of beard oil as the foundation.

Bonus Tips for Beard Care

• Consistency is Key: Apply beard oil daily to maintain a healthy beard and skin.
• Don’t Overdo It: Using too much oil can make your beard look greasy. Start with a smaller amount and add more if needed.
• Experiment with Scents: Try different Hamilton Grooming beard oils to find your signature scent. Our oils are crafted with unique, complex fragrances that last throughout the day.
