Curly Beard? Here's How to Tame It
First thing after getting up, some beards have a life of their own. Thick beard hair kinks and does whatever it likes, and there you have your curly beard. Not that this is an obstacle you cannot get over. One man is blessed with fine, soft hair, the next has hair about as pliable as old East German border wire. C'est la vie, gentlemen. There are still ways to force your beard hair into shape, which is exactly why today's Charlemagne Premium blog post takes on the curly beard and shows you how to break the stubborn stuff in and straighten it out. Enjoy.
Do What Rapunzel Did and Brush Your (Beard) Hair Regularly
It should be obvious that your beard hair has been through a certain amount of mechanical persuasion overnight. So if a curly beard is what torments you in the morning, you need a care routine to match. What does that mean for you? Exactly. Brush the beard. Brushing puts your beard hair into the shape you want and untangles it from whatever happened during the night. And even if this is purely about care, you should bring in the right products to help. We cover which ones, beard oil, beard balm and the rest, in the next section. 
Blow-Dry the Beard. Sounds Daft, Works Anyway
Of course you know this from the hair on your head. An electrical device called a hairdryer takes wet hair, applies warm air and controlled drying, and puts it into a shape that only styling products will hold.
Blow-drying the beard gives you similar results.
Whichever brush you use, controlled drying helps you bend the beard in the right direction. A round brush in particular gets longer growth into the perfect shape. The right care products, beard oil and the like, make a serious difference here. This is exactly where the slow care routine shows what it is worth, because beard oil and company need a bit of time to work fully into the hair and do their job. Shaping the beard is part of that.
Beard Oil. Smooth Structure From a Care Product Alone
Beard oil is one of the most widespread and popular ways to look after a beard. After a treatment with the legendary stuff that fixes everything... all right, we are laying it on a bit thick, but your beard does come out with a silky shine, softer and more pliable.
That comes down to the moisture worked into every single hair. Beard hair holds moisture, which lets it ease off the internal tension in the hair.
Plenty of men have already found their method here for getting on top of their beard hair. If your curly beard needs more of a miracle cure than that, we cover it in the next section.
Pomade and Beard Wax
Beyond beard oil, the market has plenty more to offer. Like an oil, a pomade puts moisture into your beard hair. As mentioned at the start, that moisture makes the hair soft and pliable. Which gives you the same effect here, a way to work against a curly beard as well.
Alongside beard oil, beard pomade is a fundamental tool for lighter styling and for getting stubborn hair under control if the curly beard is your problem.
And When Nothing Else Works, Reach for Tools
In keeping with the motto that what does not fit gets made to fit. Straighteners rarely find their way into the male world. In beard grooming it is different. A mini straightener in particular, originally built for travel and for the hair on your head, is perfect for the shorter hair of anyone dealing with a curly beard. Small is better here, because a mini straightener is far easier to handle than its bigger relatives. That keeps burns off your face and cuts the risk of accidents.
One thing matters when using a straightener like this on a curly beard: do not put any beard care products on beforehand. They would simply burn.
As you have read, a curly beard is straightforward enough to get into shape, even if it sometimes takes a bit more effort.
With the right beard care products you can also, depending on your own make-up and the beard hair you happen to have, hit excellent results on the curly beard front with very little effort. You will find the care products for that in our Charlemagne Premium shop, naturally.
„A healthy and well groomed beard is important for a real man, that's why we offer everything you need to keep yours doing so.“
As barbers with more than 20 years in the trade between us, we went looking for styling and care products that convinced us 100%. There were good products on the market, but none that gave us everything we needed. After some thought, in 2014 we decided to develop our own line. For two years we spent every free minute after work at the barbershop down in our cellar, refining the formulas. When it came to ingredients, only the best was good enough. We bought the finest jojoba oils available in Morocco and argan oil from Italy.
After two years and a fair number of attempts, our first product range was ready, and it has been winning customers over ever since. We think 98% positive reviews speak for themselves. Since the official launch in 2016 it has of course kept evolving. That is one reason Charlemagne Premium products have won not one but several comparison tests in recent years.
You will find all our products right here in our online store. For any questions about them we are reachable any time at info@charlemagne-premium.com. We are happy to help.
