Training your beard to grow in a desired manner or direction is simple if you follow three basic rules for training your beard. Condition Your Beard Just as you should condition your hair, you should regularly condition your beard. Although there are special beard conditioners available, you can condition your beard in the shower, just like you would condition your hair. To condition your beard in the shower, first wash your beard by lathering it with shampoo and rinsing. Then apply conditioner to your beard, ensuring that both the roots and the ends of your beard hairs are coated with conditioner. After letting your beard condition for up to five minutes, rinse the conditioner out of your beard. Conditioning your beard is important for the health and shine of your beard hairs. And the conditioning makes your beard more pliable and flexible for training. Comb Your Beard After conditioning your beard, you should comb your beard just as you would comb or brush your hair. Combing or brushing your beard trains the hair follicles to produce hair that grows in a certain direction. With time, it is possible to partially retrain your beard to grow in the direction you choose. Many men find that their beard hairs, particularly those beneath the chin, grow in at an angle instead of downward. Combing your beard regularly allows you to retrain the direction of difficult beard growth. Stroke Your Beard Stroking your beard throughout the day helps to reinforce the training of your beard growth begun by conditioning and combing. Although continued combing and brushing would be best for beard training, if you are not near a comb then stroking your beard with your hands or fingers can also be an effective way to train and maintain control over your beard. In conclusion, if you would like to train your beard to grow in a certain direction or manner, you should regularly condition your beard, comb or brush your beard, and stroke your beard throughout the day. The combination of these three acts will help your beard to grow in softly, flexibly, and in a way that is easier to control. - Zachary Fruhling
