Hello. Still watching. I turned my 30 day grow into a 60 day grow and now into a 90 day grow before I find a professional to shape and trim my beard. I made the rookie mistake early on of raising my neckline too high so I’ve lowered the neck and raised the cheek line so the barber has something to work with. I haven’t tried your products yet but will be ordering soon. So many to choose from. Thanks for the great videos. I’ve learned a lot.
I used that in the growing of my beard and it caused a wave that progressively got worse the more i used it. Now i use my wide tooth wood comb only and the wave is almost gone finaly. Wont make this mistake again
I bought one of these brushes recently. It's absolutely brilliant. It's encouraged a lot of hair growth. It has also helped after beard oil has been applied!
Good video. Don't have a beard, but use a boar bristle brush every day on my hair. Since I am attempting to grow my hair longer, brushing every day not only keeps my hair and scalp healthy, but allows me to shampoo less frequently.
you can do most of this stuff with your hands, with competent showering, and with any brush, honestly, any brush (stimulate the skin, exfoliate, distribute oils). The vast majority of boar brushes have FAR too many bristles and cannot penetrate a long thick beard like mine (does nothing) while combs simply catch and rip hairs out. Personally, I've found detangling brushes to be the best thing for my beard... Like those goofy looking tangle teezer/tamer or wetbrush.
New subscriber. Great video! I’m in my 4th grow phase because barbers kept cutting into my beard deeper than I wanted and I had to keep starting over. I use to avoid the boar brushes because they hurt my skin but I’ve gotten used to it.
I love boar bristle brushes....a product that uniquely lives-up to the hype! But get a quality one, such as BB-- this is definitely a get-what-you-pay-for product. In fact, get two-- they work wonders on my dog's and cat's fuzz as well (seriously)....spreads their natural oils just as it does with a beard 👍
Another alternative for those living a vegan lifestyle is a wood bristle brush. Like natural boars hair, they will distribute sebum properly as well as beard oil/balm. Also, they do not create static. Just a suggestion. Peace and Love.
I use a brush with sisal/cactus hair. My hair is also very kinky/curly. Would me brushing it everyday help train my hair so it would ecentually become straighter? I just really hate how scruffy it looks currently.
I was thinking of getting one a while back. But my comb was working well (still love that comb) so I said "Nah, I'm okay with this." Still kinda wanted one, made up my mind then. Getting one asap!
Wooden bristle brush vs wooden comb? I've always used a wide toothed comb to work with whichever beard oil I'm using and had no issues, afaik at least. 5-6 inch beard if it's worth noting.
Johnny Garcia personally I use beard shampoo once a month. Use warm water, tiny bit of shampoo and gently agitate the bristles. Rinse well and allow to dry bristle-side down so excess water does not seep back into the wooden handle thus causing it to swell and lose bristles. Works for me.
I use a Kent boar brush and Lumber Yard oil on my very curly beard. Question: does regular brushing help train the beard to grow in a downward direction?
If you're vegan try Sisal Hair Brushes. They are supposed to be the best vegan option. Havn't tried them yet. But I'm looking for boar bristle alternatives myself.
I am using my boar brush everyday and loving it... however. Almost every time I would find some lose facial hair in the brush, so it is encouraging me to think, that by doing so I am damaging my beard. Pls is this normal?
It's nothing to worry about. Beard hair, and hair in general, falls out every once in a while. That's mainly just the dead or damaged strands, so you didn't need those anyway. -Josh
Yeah, you can order directly from our website, one of our verified Amazon sellers (not as many choices), or from one of the retailers online or near you (www.beardbrand.com/pages/our-retailers)
Hey Eric, Everytime i watch some new videos, your beard looks fuller and thicker, are you using minox or something???? I really want to know or if you are following some routine for your beard, Thanks
Vegans can still use boar brushes, the boars are looked after very well. You can always contact the company and ask about their policies and where they source the boar hair from. A lot of companies will happily send you the info. My gf is a vegan and when I buy animal products I always email the company and so far I've always gotten the legal documents sent to me proving the animals are looked after. As long as you don't buy products from dodgy companies wool and boar hair are very animal friendly.
Hey Eric...great vid today...thanks! I've gone back and forth whith comb and boars brush because I keep hearing conflicting opinions about using a brush. The primary one is that at a certain length it pulls out the beard hair. What's your thoughts on that?
Glad you liked the video. Combs are more meant to shape your beard and straighten out the curls. Whereas brushes are used to stimulate the hair follicles and promote the natural oils your beard produces. Hope that helps you. -Josh
My husband doesn't like using his bore bristle brush because he says it's scratchy on his skin, are they all like that? Or could it mean it's a low quality brush?
I just bought the beginners kit that includes a pocket comb. Are there any reasons to use a comb instead of a brush? Is the brush more useful after a few months of growth or is this brush superior to the comb in most situations?
The comb is more portable and does an excellent job of helping to tame your beard. The brush is an awesome addition to helping keep your beard straight and neat, but it does a different job than the comb (plus it's not as portable as the pocket comb) - Jack
Most shampoos aren't designed for the sensitive and wiry hairs in your beard. You may be able to use it a few times, but it would result and beard dandruff or flakes. The fact that it is aloe vera may make it better suited slightly, but your best bet is to go with a beard wash. -Josh
Could I use a horsehair Brush? I remember my grandad used to use a shoe-brush made of horse hair for both his hair and facial hair. I am assuming it would still give me some the same benefits.
So, with this we would say you'll get a much better result if you use a boar bristle brush. It'll pick up much more of the hair due to the coarse feel of the boar bristles. - Jack
Both are great options. A comb will help you train your hair and straighten curls, whereas a brush is meant more to stimulate the natural oils in your hair and get to the follicles.
richard witt Richard it really depends on the length of your beard and the amount of hold you desire. A general rule of thumb is to begin with an amount equal to the size of a dime and work up from there if you need to. Hope this helps. Peace
@@enemydown.gaming what if I say wait and grow natural beard , you guys use this minoxidil and act arrogant that it is safe . You natural hormone is time determined dont play with it . Stop using minoxidil

So awareness of us individual should put there so we can understand better by ourself thats it man .
You can actually brush as many times as you want. Now, you don't NEED to brush too many times every single day, but if you're brushing around three to four times per day, that would be totally fine. - Jack
Divyraj Rathore I have a couple of sandalwood combs that I love. With that being said QUALITY plastic combs by Beardbrand, Kent or Baxter of California are all saw cut, polished and made of cellulose acetate (natural plastic made from plants) that will not harm your beard or cause static.
Hey Awesome Beard Man. I have an answer for you vegan friends in the world on the brush. Its a botanical solution for all. I'm not vegan but I was talking to my father about the topic. He mentioned AGAVE BRISTLES HAIR BRUSHES to me. Never knew they existed but had to come back and let you know. And, get some friggin hair brushes on your site please! I mean for the hair on me head I aint a baldy just yet.
I don't "need to use" anything, stop telling me what to do. If you're trying to give advice, then give advice, stop telling me that I'm doing things wrong or that you know what I should be doing. Call it "three advantages of using a boar-hair brush". ...and now let's see how long it takes for you to come up with a video telling us that there's nothing better than the new wood-pin brushes you added to your shop...
vinny142 eh, I title videos to get people to click and watch the video. If you've watched any of my previous videos you know I'm the type of guy that always says, "do what works for you." Can judge a book by its cover and you can't judge a video by it's title.
Is it just me or does this guy kinda sound like Manny from Ice Age?😂
Hahahahahahaha
Haha, he does now.
Omfg this just made me die!
You mean Ray Romano?
I literally thought that and went to the comment section and this was the first comment there!

Good to hear the brushes work well for you too!
Beardbrand It's really good. It controls the direction I want my beard to flow too.

Great to hear it's working out for you. Yeah, these brushes have multiple uses 👌 👌
I have a boar bristle brush and it's doing the job perfect... Thank you for the helpful tips that I'm not aware of... Beard and proud...

I am now a very proud owner of this beautiful brush!! Thanks guys 😁
Happy to help man!

Good to hear they work well on animals too!
so if i have patchy hair on the sides, brushing the patchy parts will help grow hair on that parts ?
minoxidil and bristle is the best way to fulfill your patchy beard.
Tested boar bristle brushes and they tend to ride on top of my beard never reaching skin
Another alternative for those living a vegan lifestyle is a wood bristle brush. Like natural boars hair, they will distribute sebum properly as well as beard oil/balm. Also, they do not create static. Just a suggestion. Peace and Love.
Thanks for the helpful tip!
You can also get cactus bristle brushes.
dan benfield Go get yourself one..
Hi there, any suggestions for a fair wood bristle brush?
@@danbenfield3260Hi there, any suggestions for a fair cactus bristle brush?
Dude!! I didn't even knew you are growing you're beard out again! It looks amazing!
Sry for my English! Greetings from Croatia!
Your English was just fine. Thanks for the support man!

I use a brush with sisal/cactus hair. My hair is also very kinky/curly. Would me brushing it everyday help train my hair so it would ecentually become straighter? I just really hate how scruffy it looks currently.
What about combing your beard multiple times a day with a Kent comb. How much is too much?
I was thinking of getting one a while back. But my comb was working well (still love that comb) so I said "Nah, I'm okay with this." Still kinda wanted one, made up my mind then. Getting one asap!
Great choice man!
Wooden bristle brush vs wooden comb?
I've always used a wide toothed comb to work with whichever beard oil I'm using and had no issues, afaik at least. 5-6 inch beard if it's worth noting.
It's more of a personal preference. Combs help guide the hair, but brushes get to the root and stimulate the hair follicles.
@@Beardbrand could I use both, like comb the oil in good and before putting style balm in give it a good once over with the boar brush?
How do you clean a boar brush?
Johnny Garcia personally I use beard shampoo once a month. Use warm water, tiny bit of shampoo and gently agitate the bristles. Rinse well and allow to dry bristle-side down so excess water does not seep back into the wooden handle thus causing it to swell and lose bristles. Works for me.
Dang Matt, you're all over these comments today. Thanks for stepping up and helping out the community with us!
Feel like it breaks off a lot of hair. Do I continue?
Yes 😂
I use a Kent boar brush and Lumber Yard oil on my very curly beard. Question: does regular brushing help train the beard to grow in a downward direction?
Yeah, brushing or combing your hair downward will definitely help it grow that way.
As a Muslim I can’t use pig bristles. Is the the ones made of horse hair is good replacement?
If you're vegan try Sisal Hair Brushes. They are supposed to be the best vegan option.
Havn't tried them yet. But I'm looking for boar bristle alternatives myself.
Please explain exactly how synthetic bristles don't do each of these three things
Hey Eric your beard is looking fantastic at that length! it even looks darker brown! :D keep it up
Thanks for the support man! I'll pass on the good vibes to him!
-Josh
Should you regularly wash the brush? As using oil and balms. Sorry its first time I've grown it out properly
I am using my boar brush everyday and loving it... however. Almost every time I would find some lose facial hair in the brush, so it is encouraging me to think, that by doing so I am damaging my beard. Pls is this normal?
It's nothing to worry about. Beard hair, and hair in general, falls out every once in a while. That's mainly just the dead or damaged strands, so you didn't need those anyway.
-Josh
Can it help straighten or if not, make a curly beard more presentable at least???
Yeah, it'll definitely help straighten it out with time.
-Josh
Love your videos guys
Just wondering... do you guys ship your products to Australia?
Yeah, you can order directly from our website, one of our verified Amazon sellers (not as many choices), or from one of the retailers online or near you (www.beardbrand.com/pages/our-retailers)

Hey Eric, Everytime i watch some new videos, your beard looks fuller and thicker, are you using minox or something???? I really want to know or if you are following some routine for your beard, Thanks
No tricks or magic. Just better studio setup, lighting and proper trimming.

Do y'all have any videos on staches? I am trying to get mine to naturally get out of my face and be kinda like Eric's..
Thanks for sharing this information to us and your guidance about Beard....
We're always happy to help!
I want a shirt like yours! Gotta represent the brand. 👍🏻
We're in the process of making some designs and fun stuff for you guys. This shirt was from our SXSW party.
Beardbrand awesomeness! I am excited to see what is to come. God bless! And keep up the good work and products.
Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem, but there's still some time until the shirts are done.
Hey Eric, is this still available for price? Pretty bad ass.
this particular shirt
I got one and it's a beast
Glad to hear it!
Your beard is amazing. I am sold on using a boar bristle brush.
Your hair is beautiful man, can you suggest a routine I can follow to achieve a similar result?

My beard is still very sparse but growing. Won't a brush be unhelpful in my case? Won't it damage and split the hairs?

Great video brother!
Thanks!
Do the bristles have to be soft or hard to work better and have all of these benefits described in the video, would anyone know please?
What boar bristle brush would be best for kinda thick straight hair?
Does the brush pull the hair out since it’s finer?
Yeah but do u use a hard brush or solder brush?
I just bought the beginners kit that includes a pocket comb. Are there any reasons to use a comb instead of a brush? Is the brush more useful after a few months of growth or is this brush superior to the comb in most situations?

I'll take the advice, thanks for answer!
How do you wash the Boar Bristle Brush ? I just rinse it on warm water
Yeah, just warm water and soap.
How many times and when should I use this brush ?
How many times and when should I use this brush ?
Can i use the horse hair bristle brush?
Does anyone have any reccomendations for an alternative to boar bristle brush?
They work good for slicking back the sides as well, Beardbrand; it gives a classic look, too.
Do you have those tshirts like the one you are wearing on sale? Or do you plan to?
The shirt was from our SXSW party this year. We are in the process of designing some new shirts that we'll sell online.

Thanks man! They're from our SXSW party.
How hard do you brush the beard?
richard witt Brush slowly and with purpose but not hard. When you feel the bristles on your cheeks, you're good
Matt is spot on!
Would you recommend a comb or BB brush for general maintenance of your beard?
Brandon Balanski You can purchase excellent ones at Beardbrand.com
Both are great options. A comb will help you train your hair and straighten curls, whereas a brush is meant more to stimulate the natural oils in your hair and get to the follicles.
How much beard wax do I use with a full beard alot alittle what is too much?
richard witt Richard it really depends on the length of your beard and the amount of hold you desire. A general rule of thumb is to begin with an amount equal to the size of a dime and work up from there if you need to. Hope this helps. Peace
Matt is right. You'll want to start small, then work your way up. Another measurement you can use enough to fit on your pinky.
Thanks :D
How can you tell real from fake?
Like the brush 👌 It's great 👍
Does it stimulate beard growth ??
no, if you want to grow or have a beard use minoxidil and dermaroll.

How mush should i brush my beard cauz i hear that you must brush only two times a day max and others say brush it in any moment of the day ?
You can actually brush as many times as you want. Now, you don't NEED to brush too many times every single day, but if you're brushing around three to four times per day, that would be totally fine.

Beardbrand thank you !
What's the difference between Boar and Bear brushes?
Not sure bear bristle brushes exist.
Dude, bears have fur. Kinda hard to make a brush outta fur I would think.
Where can i get that shirt?
Cocconut oil and plastic bag use wodden comb u can make one ....nothing else
The amount of dandruff that comes off 🤯
are wood combs any good? i have been using kent for 3 years now but heard that plastic combs cause static and are bad for your beard.
Divyraj Rathore I have a couple of sandalwood combs that I love. With that being said QUALITY plastic combs by Beardbrand, Kent or Baxter of California are all saw cut, polished and made of cellulose acetate (natural plastic made from plants) that will not harm your beard or cause static.
thanks for the reply man i guess il continue to use my kent combs.
Divyraj Rathore No worries my friend. No reason to replace those Kents unless you lose them. Peace brother.
Thanks for the tips Matt!

Beard flakes... who’s got some milk?
My religion doesn't allow me to use a boar bristle brush so do you have any alternative brushes I can use. Thanks and keep up the good work
Mortadha Alkadban Seek out a wood bristle brush my friend. You'll get most of the same benefits of a boar brush
Yeah, Matt is right. And I believe Eric mentioned you can use a nylon brush as well, but those don't have the same benefits.
