Beard Care 101: How to Keep Your Beard Sharp Between Barber Visits

Why Beard Care Matters

Beards are more than facial hair—they’re a statement. But without the right care, even the thickest beard can look messy. At 969 Barber Shop in Flushing, we know what it takes to keep a beard sharp between visits. Here’s your step-by-step guide to maintaining a healthy, stylish beard.

Wash and Condition the Right Way

Just like the hair on your head, your beard needs cleansing. Use a beard shampoo 2–3 times a week to avoid buildup. Follow with a conditioner or beard softener to reduce dryness and itch.

How Often Do You Trim Your Beard to Maintain Shape & Growth?

Quick Trims Between Barber Visits

  • Between appointments:
  • Leave the overall shape to your barber for precision.
  • Snip stray hairs with small scissors.
  • Keep your neckline clean using a trimmer.

Hydration Is Key

A quality beard oil keeps your beard soft and prevents irritation. Balms add extra control, making them ideal for longer beards or humid days in Flushing.

Time for a Professional Touch

Schedule a professional shaping every 3–4 weeks. Your barber will sharpen lines, trim evenly, and recommend products tailored to your hair type.

Train Your Beard to Stay Sharp

Daily brushing:

Trains hair to grow in the right direction.

Distributes natural oils.

Prevents tangles.
