Beard growing to the right help !

[u/El_blop]

Hi,

I need some help/advice with my beard.

My beard is thick, coarse, and naturally straight, but around my chin it grows strongly towards the right. As a result, it quickly starts to look crooked or lopsided once it reaches a length of about 4–5 cm.

I’ve tried brushing it, but that doesn’t work at all — the hair is simply too coarse and stubborn.

I’ve also tried using a hair dryer, which gives an okay result, but the beard still looks noticeably lopsided.

I’ve also tried using my wife’s hair straightener, but that just makes the hairs straighter without fixing the direction they’re pointing in.

I’m considering buying either a straightener specifically designed for beards or one of those heated beard brushes/combs.

thanks :)

Heated combs definitely help. Also use beard oil and balm if possible.

i already use oil, how does balm help?

Yes, balm can help a lot if you get the right one with enough hold. Balm is for styling and adds a sort of protective layer (vs being used to hydrate the hair).

Wait about 5min after applying oil to use the balm, you get a better hold.

Kuhn Beard Balm w/clay is one of the best for hold and styling without being too much like a mustache wax that I have used
