There is only one solution to soften your beard, it is to apply a beard oil. The goal of beard oil is not only to moisturize the hair, but also the skin under your beard. The effects are numerous:

​

• your skin will be less dry and you will no longer suffer from tightness. Because generally, people who have itchy beards, and therefore rough hair, also have the skin under their beards that pull. Source of drought.

• your beard hair will be hydrated, and therefore more supple and shinier. Thus, you will soften your beard in general. By the way, a hydrated beard hair is also a stronger hair, more resistant and therefore less brittle.

Admittedly, beard oil usually has a greasy texture. For this reason, and to avoid having a shiny beard, you should only put a few drops in the palm of your hand, mix and apply it on the beard. For example, you can use castor oil for the beard . You can also use coconut oil which will deeply nourish the hair. Or sweet almond or jojoba oil to moisturize.

First, if it's been a long time since you've applied beard oil, and your beard is very dry, apply beard oil morning and evening.
