Now that the Ballarat Beard & Stache Competition is over and the winter weather is rolling in, it’s time to start taking care of your beard ❄️
All day long your beard is subjected to radical temperature changes, from hot to cold and back again.
Because it’s cold, you’re probably cranking up the heating at home, drying out the air and leaving your beard parched and crying out for moisture. Then you step outside and your beard is hit with freezing temperatures and harsh winds that strip away moisture, leaving it brittle and vulnerable.
Next stop is the shops, the office or the pub, where hot air heaters blast whatever moisture your beard had left. There’s no escaping it, winter is harsh on your beard.
The problem is, hair is hydroscopic, meaning it absorbs water from the environment. During warmer months there’s usually enough moisture in the air to help keep your beard hydrated naturally.
But winter air is dry, and your beard starts losing moisture faster than ever. Instead of absorbing hydration, your beard actually releases moisture into the cold dry air around it.
Winter can cause the moisture level inside your beard to drop below 10%.
That’s why it’s important to care for your beard all year round. The Barber’s Choice range of Beard Oils and Balms helps protect, soften and hydrate your beard through even the harshest winter conditions.
