Beard Oil: What It Does, How To Use It, and Why It Matters

Let’s get one thing straight, if you are taking your beard growth seriously, beard oil isn’t optional.

If you’re growing a beard, rocking a beard, or even thinking about one... beard oil is your foundation.

This isn’t just about smell. It’s not some hipster trend.
It’s a daily tool for hydration, strength, and style.

In this full guide, we’ll show you:

• What beard oil actually does

• How to use it properly

• When and why it matters

• What separates great oil from the cheap synthetic stuff

Let’s get into it.

What Is Beard Oil?

Braw Beard oil is a special blend of natural oils designed to:

• Moisturise the skin beneath your beard

• Give the beard hair itself a softer feel

• Eliminate dryness, itch, beardruff

• Boost the health and appearance of your beard

Braw Beard oil uses carrier oils like hempseed, jojoba, or argan to nourish and essential oils to deliver scent and function.

It doesn’t clog pores. It doesn’t feel greasy if you use the right amount.
And it works whether your beard is short stubble or full and flowing.

What Does Beard Oil Do?

Here’s what happens when you use beard oil properly:

Moisturises the skin underneath
Stops the itch in its tracks
Softens coarse, dry beard hair
Adds healthy shine without grease
Prevents split ends and brittle breakage
Smells fresh with natural, subtle scents - not chemical overload

Most importantly, it makes your beard look like you actually take pride in it.

How To Use Beard Oil (Step-by-Step)

Using beard oil the wrong way? You’re wasting it.
Here’s how to get it right, every day.

Step 1: Clean Your Beard

After a shower or wash with lukewarm water, pat dry/gently rub with a towel.

Step 2: Apply the Oil

Drop 4-8 drops into your palm (shorter beards need less, and you guessed it, longer beards may need more but this is a rough starting guide). Rub hands together. Massage into the skin beneath your beard, not just the hair. Work the oil through from roots to tips.

Step 3: Brush or Comb After

Use a boar bristle beard brush to spread the oil evenly. This helps train the direction of growth and stimulates the skin while exfoliating at the same time.

When to use:

Daily in the morning and again at night if your beard’s dry, weather beaten or itchy.

Beard Oil for Beard Growth: Myth or Magic?

Let’s keep it real, Braw Beard oil won’t magically sprout new hairs overnight.
But it 100% helps create the best possible environment for growth.

Why? 
Healthy skin = stronger follicles
Less breakage = fuller beard
Less dryness = less irritation and scratching

Think of it like nutrition for your beard.
You can’t grow muscle on junk food. You can’t grow a proper beard without care.

How Often Should You Use Beard Oil?

Every single day.

Even if your beard’s short.
Even if you “don’t feel like it.”
Even if you think it’s fine without it...it’s not.

In dry or cold weather, twice daily is ideal.
If you wash your face/beard often, reapply after.

Routine is what separates a good beard from a scruffy one.

What Makes a Great Beard Oil?

Not all beard oils are created equal. Most of the junk on the shelves is loaded with synthetic fragrance and filler oils that leave your face greasy and irritated.

Look for:

• ✅ Cold pressed carrier oils (like hempseed, jojoba, argan)

• ✅ Natural essential oils, not artificial fragrances

• ✅ Handcrafted production, not mass-produced

• ❌ No silicones, parabens, or alcohol

• ❌ No greasy, sticky texture

Braw Beard Oil is made right here in Scotland, hand-poured, batch tested, and built for results.
No gimmicks. Just beard care that works.
