1. Let It Grow
The biggest mistake people make when growing a beard for the first time is not letting the beard grow in its early stages.
You have to let the facial hair grow with little maintenance for the first 6 to 8 weeks. It is tough, but be patient while it takes shape.
2. Neck and Cheek Lines
Once the beard has grown to a workable length, pay close attention to appropriately maintaining your neck and cheek line.
Get this wrong and you’ll have a lopsided lineup. Attention to detail is pivotal for maintaining a well kept beard.
3. Washing Your Beard
Just like the hair on the top of your head, you need to wash your beard to keep it clean and healthy.
Don’t rely on just showering and using the water from that to cleanse your beard, make sure to properly look after it with some beard care products.

4. Beard Oil and Beard Balm
Beard oil and beard balm are important to keep a beard nourished, healthy and hydrated.
When you first start to grow your beard you’ll undoubtedly suffer from beard itch at some point.
I recommend using a beard oil when starting to hydrate the follicles of your beard area to severely help reduce that itch.
Once you find some length to your beard, the balm comes in far handier for optimal sculpting.
5. Brush Your Beard
This is something you should do every single morning.
Not only does it feel great, but brushing also helps to exfoliate the skin under your beard.
