Dan really knows his subject, he really is the trusted teacher, the subjects are all very interesting every time. Dan does not lack inspiration too. That is so awesome.
Awesome! Thanks for the informative and thought provoking video. I always enjoy the educational content from the "Trusted Teacher" and the enthusiastic way you present the information is always greatly appreciated.
Pretty awesome stuff. I have noticed some suppliers switching coffee oil to the carrier aide of things. Maybe because of this specific info? Great video as always 🤝
Hey Dan C, I am not too sure if beard oil along with beard wash/conditioner really simulates the grow of beard. I always think its the genes inside the person that allows the beard to growth to maximum, but I can definitely be wrong in all levels. I just don' t see anything happening, but I always watch your videos to learn what other ideas can I can do to keep the beard healthy besides eating clean and exercising.
Oh beards 100% percent grow better with quality wash and quality oil, as compared to not using them. They aren’t miracle or magic, but unhealthy habits (not washing for example) certainly slow growth
I had lunch yesterday with my brother, he's always complained about having a patchy beard. I gave him a heated brush and some oils for Christmas... He's had a circle beard for years, but never took care of it .. since starting a good wash and oil routine, he said the dry scaily skin has become soft again! And where it was really dry the hairs that stopped grown have returned! His mustache is fuller than it has ever been, imma send him this video, this might be something to add to the peppermint rosemary oil routine...
That totally makes sense Dan! I agree that washing the beard is a vital part of aiding the growth cycle of the beard 👍interesting about the topical caffeine, that sounds like an interesting wash I might have to try! I've used body washes and shampoos with caffeine in them, I think they were advertised as just adding "invigoration" to the wash. It would make sense that it could stimulate the hair follicles 👍 Great video Dan! 👏👏
Thanks Dan great video, My morning zen starts with a shower and beard wash / routine. Looking forward to your conclusion video on caffeine and beard growth, appreciate the research you do 🤜🤛
Thank you Sensei. Happy Friday :) This is just a theory of mine, but I myself am convinced the oils and conditioners in beard washes affects the application of mustache wax and balm. So those that are styling up afterwards might want to purchase a wash with less oil content.
Hey Dan. You never cease to amaze us and keep it interesting with the beard journey we are all on. You truly are the Trusted Teacher; thank you so much for what you do for this community. Have a great weekend with the family and soccer. 👊🏻
Kafxbody has caffeine infused oils and wash. Problem I have is oil only has 30 day shelf life. According to the maker they source it from actual coffee somehow. I’ve yet to check it out. Now I may just try Volt Wash or add it to my beard wash collection
Interesting information as always. So i m gonna say something but im not 100% sure and i dont have any evidence about it. Usually in summertime im drinking 6-7 cold coffees the day because i work 16 hours the day. I know that much coffee is nit healthy but i have the feeling that my beard grows faster during this period. I see the difference from the photos i keep in my beard journey file. But again im saying that i cant be sure if its the caffeine from the amount of coffee i drink. Im looking forward for your video about it dan. Keep doing the great job you do for all of us.❤
There is a company that catches my eye: EDC beard co, with ingredients that maybe..Dan might like: Borage Oil, Seed Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil and Rosehip Oil. Ps: These ingredients were almost all in Dan's 101 series too.
Dan, I usually wash my beard at night; for the morning I just give it a rinse to apply the oil. But I also use beard balm after wash at night. Do you recommend that I wash the beard for the morning? I don't know if the rinse makes the wax from balm go to the skin..
While this is an interesting topic, I'll hang back and stay with my present rotation for now. But I do look forward to your findings about using a topical to help promote beard growth. Yhanks Dan.
Interesting info to be sure. However, after 3 heart ablations, with the last one in 2016 leaving me pacemaker dependent, I discovered at that time that caffeine and my heart DO NOT play well together. Haven't had a cup of coffee, or ingested any form of caffeine since October 2016. I would be interested to know if topical application of caffeine would have the same affect on my heart as ingesting caffeine does or would it not affect my heart at all. Something for professor Dan to ponder over.
Okay, here goes - since i am new to the beard game. And at times its really heard to figure out whats the right course of action. Few weeks ago i got started with some starter pack which was alreadyy replaced by more professional products. I really enjoy to cultivate my beard. With arround 1.2cm i have kept it rather short so far, since it was the max my trimmer allowed for. Now i got one with a range of up to 2cm and i wanna grow it at least to this point. Questions: 1) So its fine to use a quality wash every day? I heard quite some people saying you should only use it 2 - 3 times a week. 2) Due to length oil would be enough. But i hear some people use oil twice a day. Is there anything wrong going with oil in the early morning, but instead of using it twice to go with balm the second time later that day? Thats what i do now since i really like both products i got. Oil for general purpose, balm to give it just a wee bit of edge.
Could you share the studies for that? Genuinely would love to see. I have found it compared to DHT blockers just because it increases blood circulation. Which has shown results with improving scalp hair growth. Hence the correlation with DHT blockers. I have not found anything that actually proves it is a DHT blocker topically
@@DanCBearded first of all I am really happy that you replied to me , I am huge fan of what you are doing and I started loving my beard from your videos ,,, here is a sturdy showing that caffeine has a role in fighting androgenic alopecia based on blocking dht effect www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3500065/

@@georgehany3540 Checking it out now and I have actually read this one several times before now that I see it. Not a ton of information in it and even less relevant information, if we are trying to avoid the dreaded confirmation bias (either way). Here was the biggest line for me "The proposed mechanism which would counteract DHT-induced miniaturization of the hair follicle include inhibition of phosphodiesterase by caffeine, which increases cAMP levels in cells and therefore promotes proliferation by stimulating cell metabolism." While it sounds sexy on the surface, it isn't actually proven and doesn't have much to do with beard growth other than HEAVILY inferring and making assumptions. This is just looking at how caffeine limits the negative effects (miniaturization of the hair) of DHT on head hair. Nothing about blocking DHT itself, just that negative impact. It does not cover anything about DHT and its POSITIVE impacts on the beard. If caffeine stop miniaturization, that is irrelevant to the beard. I do not think anyone can make that jump you stated in your original comment, based on this study. Especially when that study is the second google result for the search "does topical caffeine block dht". In most cases this could be at best an example of confirmation bias. Please keep the studies coming as you find them though! I am doing this for real and want all angles of information.
Pretty cool stuff! Sorry if you covered it Dan, but aside from the caffeine being in it, what’s your feedback on the Volt wash? How’s it lather and smell?
It took me a minute to understand that myself but as i take better care of my beard and drink more water it has become more clear by the day also taking the biotin and stuff daily helps a lot atleast for me
Hey Dan speaking of beard wash, how would you recommend dealing with acne with a beard. I have acne all over my face, and I have been perscribed topical medications before but they damage my beard. Just wondering what you think could help!
Hey Dan. In your research can you take a look at Detroit Groomings beard growth stimulator that has caffeine as its main ingredient? Would like to know your thoughts when you have come up with a conclusion.
Second! Do you know if biotin being in beard wash will have the same effect as an oral supplement since the wash is only applied to the face and not ingested?
Is there a place I can go to ask if a product is safe for your facial hair? I found a wax on Amazon that I love, but I'm not sure it's legit, so I tried asking Reddit. But the beard community on Reddit is very rude, and they banned me from asking and not doing my research. Even though I googled with no luck. The Reddit community is toxic.
I have been seeing a lot of beard rollers and I say, na no way that can help you grow a beard. Is there any evidence that it does help you grow a beard
There is some real science behind it actually! It has to do with activating the collagen. Check this detailed video out about it: th-cam.com/video/d7WA-dMaMC4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_GfvoFIoXr5M0DOa
Instructions were unclear, I put gasoline on my beard and didn't see any growth? In all seriousness, I switched to washing my beard daily about 6 months ago and my beard feels healthier since making that switch.
Yes, man! I asked my dermatologists and she said "of course, we're always gonna recommend a clean 'environment' over letting the natural oils sit there for too long"

Goodness brother there is 21 scents from EDCbeardco. Haha epic
@DanC...
Their beard wash : Ph 5.5
Haha heck yeah
Ive always wondered if caffeine really did anything in wash/shampoo. Cool to know that it may actually be beneficial for beard growth.
Exciting stuff for sure!
Have a great weekend.
You too!!
I found that taking biotin/keratin has really helped my beard growth and health. And of course, good grooming.
Oh yeah, absolutely here too

But I also use beard balm after wash at night. Do you recommend that I wash the beard for the morning? I don't know if the rinse makes the wax from balm go to the skin..
I would switch to washing in the morning and I would get away from balm at night. Try butter!
@@DanCBearded Oh, I hearded that's a great product. Unfortunatly it's hard to find here in Brazil.

1) yes, daily wash!
2) just oil is fine at that length, with beard wash or course. Nothing wrong with oil and balm either
Topical caffeine is known to be a dht blocker so it would help the head hair to grow not the beard as it depends on dht to grow 😅
Could you share the studies for that? Genuinely would love to see. I have found it compared to DHT blockers just because it increases blood circulation.

Oh it’s really good! Great lather and leaves my beard feeling clean and fresh
I started using Volt beard wash. It doesn't lather as much as other washes, not sure it matters. Too soon to tell if it's promoting growth.
Good feedback! Keep us posted
People need 2 understand that a big beard doesn't mean a healthy beard
I really hope we get to that point because that sure gets annoying
It took me a minute to understand that myself but as i take better care of my beard and drink more water it has become more clear by the day also taking the biotin and stuff daily helps a lot atleast for me
Agreed whole heartedly.
True , also valid I think for short beards.
Hey Dan speaking of beard wash, how would you recommend dealing with acne with a beard. I have acne all over my face, and I have been perscribed topical medications before but they damage my beard. Just wondering what you think could help!
I would wash daily with a high quality beard wash and then face wash for the rest of the face. Like from Doctor Nicks
Great info as usual Dan. I will start calling you Professor of Practice, instead of Teacher.
Haha I’ll take it!
Hmmm, something I look forward to hearing more on and looking into, caffeine....
Absolutely! I’m on it
Does the caffeine in product give a caffeine effect of ingestion?
Great question, and I do not believe so, however I do not know for sure
Hey Dan. In your research can you take a look at Detroit Groomings beard growth stimulator that has caffeine as its main ingredient? Would like to know your thoughts when you have come up with a conclusion.
Same kind of idea here. I have a good feeling about it but need more time
Would the growth on head hair and beard hair be the same with the topical caffeine?
They have never been studied on beards so we can’t truly know yet
Hi just done a quick google there is such thing as coffee oil maybe it might help with adding to oil for caffeine benefits
I’m seeing that more and more
Biotin internally and caffeine externally. The one two combo!
Bang bang!
caffeine is also a great ingredient in eye creams
Second!
Do you know if biotin being in beard wash will have the same effect as an oral supplement since the wash is only applied to the face and not ingested?
The SILVER!
I do not know, yet. More and more info is coming out though. I am hopeful!
Dan I’m really struggling with patches and growth. Will this wash help
It can give you a chance, but nothing can be guaranteed
@ appreciate you and your knowledge. Thank you
Sorry to throw this out there but is artius man wash a stripping or daily wash
That’s in between for me. A couple times a week
Wild Willie's wash and conditioner have biotin and caffeine.
Yeah, I would say quality matters too
Any idea on Volts PH?
I do not but would guess 5.5ish
Is the wash a daily wash or a stripping wash ?
Daily 🤝
