Regardless of your beard style or length, taking care of facial hair is essential if you’re hoping to grow your beard and look your best. Beard grooming has several benefits aside from styling, including helping to clear out dead skin and dandruff, as well as generally nourishing the skin and aiding the follicles in growing to the strongest they can be. Beard brushes do a great job of spreading oils—both naturally produced from your skin and from some of the best beard oils—through short beards. Often made of boar’s hair (or a synthetic alternative if it’s vegan friendly), the thicker, coarser brush is great for cleaning your chin and jaw of dirt and detritus you pick up throughout the day. If your beard is longer, thicker or prone to tangled hair, a comb will be your savior. Well-groomed beards longer than an inch should be neat, styled, and grow in the same direction, so committing to using your comb will instantly level up your look as well as encourage beard growth. Most will be fine-tooth to allow you to fine-tune your style or to be used as a moustache comb, but many of the combs featured here will also have a second wide-tooth side for broader styling on longer beards.
