Holiday Gift Guide 2024:  The Best Gifts for Bearded Men

Finding the perfect gift for a bearded man can be stressful, but this simple guide will help you choose the right beard care products for him.

Beard Oil:

If you purchase only one thing for your bearded guy this year, it should be an all natural beard oil. It is by far the best single product for the beard, regardless of length. Loaded with beneficial nutrients, a beard oil will immediately soften the beard, relax the beard giving it a neater appearance, and hydrate the skin beneath the beard. Additionally, many of the oils used in a natural beard oil have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial properties.

Beard Soap/Wash:

No one likes a dirty beard, so having a soap that can be used daily is crucial. Traditional shampoo and body wash contain unwanted chemicals that often strip away our natural oils, causing the beard and skin to be extremely dry. A good beard wash that is paraben and sulfate free is a step in the right direction, but a mild handmade bar soap is your best option. 

Beard Balm:

If your bearded guy has a medium to long beard that is wildly out of control, beard balm is your best option. Typically made with a blend of natural oil, butter, and wax, this thicker and heavier product will provide conditioning and control. For guys with naturally oily skin, beard balm works great by itself. If your guy has dry skin and an unruly beard, he will want to use beard oil and balm together.

Beard Brush:

A natural or boar’s hair bristle brush is an excellent accessory for any beard, but is ideal for short and medium length beards. Regularly brushing your beard offers numerous benefits. It helps detangle and train beard hair, exfoliates the skin to reduce beardruff, distributes natural oils for moisture, and stimulates blood flow to promote healthier growth. Ultimately, a well-brushed beard looks neater, healthier, and more stylish.

Beard Comb:

For medium to long beards you can’t go wrong with a wooden beard comb, as they offer several advantages. Their smooth teeth gently detangle and style your beard without causing breakage. They also distribute natural oils evenly, promoting a healthy, moisturized beard. Additionally, the natural properties of wood can help reduce static and leave your beard looking sleek and polished.

Beard Scissors:

Ideal for medium to long beards, beard scissors offer unparalleled precision and control over your beard grooming. They allow you to meticulously trim away stray hairs, shape your beard with accuracy, and remove split ends that can damage your beard's health and appearance.

Bonus Tip:

The scent of a beard oil or balm is not for the bearded man, it’s for the people closest to him. So choose the scent that you like best!
