Dan, in a world full of negativity, you shine the light and encourage positivity. It takes a special person to be a teacher and it shows that that’s you, my man. Keep it up, you’re keeping me on track as a man and human, not just a beardsman.
On a related note, I've gotten rid of nearly all my shirts that are light colored because they make my beard look awful. I'm sure I'm not alone in this practice, haha. Cool video, thanks Dan!
You may have inadvertently played psychologist for me today, also, doc. The realization of the loss-to-sickness pipeline might help me understand my recent past as I went though both, hard. Thank you so much. You’ve given me so much information for my health!
Yes sir! And getting those damaged hairs out of the way makes my beard feel softer and more manageable. My hairs tangle less after pruning as well. Great tip as always!
Works great. I’ve done this for my split ends for years, but also for shaping my mustache. Works perfectly for the sides to help isolate the mustache from the beard hairs and really helps to see the exact shape of the hairs.
Just got back from and amazing camp trip and the Razor 900 was absolutely a life changer when it comes to trail riding. My beard health suffered greatly during these 3 days getting muddy. I will go check it out using these methods.
Another awesome video! I don't use the paper method. Although I do section off my beard, trim, clip/tie that section off once complet & check it that way. Will definitely look into the method of checking & see how it goes. Thanks again Dan C Bearded 🙌
I use my wife's really bright makeup light. My beard is a redish light brown and the light really helps make split ends stand out. I usually check twice a week in the summer and everyother day in the winter. That paper trick got me thinking of a new possible way to do a maintenance trim. Put a line on the paper of your goal length and put a line of where you want to trim. This might help with the newly bearded being able to actually see their progress. Awesome video bud!!!!!
Dan the man! Very helpful video I do this in the mirror about once a month but never used a sheet of paper great tip! I think your beard insecurities should be nonexistent my man!
Wow, gotta say I've never thought to use a method like this before so thanks for the new info. That's why I got addicted to your channel in the first place! Going to do this for sure tonight but honestly following a lot of the tips I've gotten here and in the Facebook group my beard is the healthiest it's ever been so hopefully there won't be much to find.
This is something I need to do. I know I have seen split ends before and cut them off, along with broken hair strands. But never used the paper and really took time to invest further. More so just see them when washing my hands after going to the bathroom or something along that line.
Dan C Bearded really great vid man! For so long I’ve been sifting through my beard finding the split ends like a monkey picking insects from a fellow monkey so this will save a tonne of time 👊🏻
Absolutely, at least once a week...have to use both black and white paper since mine is salt and pepper. Don't really get the split ends as much as I do knots. At one time, I took a sewing needle to try and "untie" the knot. Once. Can't do it, damage pretty much done...just cut them 😉
Had no idea you could do this. Thank you DanC I’ll have to check mine out. And you have no reason to ever be insecure buddy your beard is amazing, most of us dream of a beard that beautiful. Thanks again 👍🏻.
Great video Dan. I am going to be looking at my beard all day now for any damage. As if I needed an excuse to give my beard any more attention than I already do! haha
I generally trim my fairly long (about 5-6 inches) beard about a half inch every 3 or 4 months ( more if I don’t want it to get any longer) this seems to work well because I never get any slit ends. I don’t use any heat on it either, If you do blow dry or heat comb it you will get more damage. I’m lucky my beard is pretty full and strong. I have been a hair stylist for 37 years and I agree with pretty much everything Dan recommends as far as beard care goes. Great job Dan! John
Welp here is the video that I knew you had that I just mentioned today lol. Thanks for this Dan! I am going to do this soon as I haven't really been trimming much, and I know I have some split ends in the under beard!
@@DanCBearded This seems to be happening a lot lol. It's almost like you have a video for every major question! I also realized today that my breast pocket tools have been snagging some of my hairs. I have a pen, pen light, and a screwdriver. I thought I had split ends grabbing my shirt, turned out it was my hairs catching on the pocket clips!
Cool technique. I found 1 that needed the snip after doing this. Reminded me of the importance and impact of a healthy daily beard routine. ~ The Cousins
Great visual aid on the types of split ends... did not know about half of the types. I have pretty fine hair, and it is extremely difficult finding split ends because they are almost microscopic! Luckily for me I have used a ton of your knowledge and kept my beard well oiled and cared for since I started growing it about a year ago, so I don't have much damage (that I can find).
I've been doing this for a while, I used to get a little upset at how much split ends were on the table at the end, however I then realised that I was actually saving good hairs instead of losing hairs
I'm the same as you with my insecurities with white for my beard as I've got a ridiculously naturally messy curly beard that looks god in black but awful in white. Even friends agree with my that it looks much worse in white. I do the same technique for checking the hairs as you except I just use a white tshirt instead of paper as it lets me have both hands free
I normally only look for split ends at the end, so some of this is new to me. Thanks for the information. Oh, and I will need a black sheet of paper for sure, it's gone silver/white these days. LOL
I’ve not yet found a split that wasn’t on a hair’s end, and split ends are rarer in my beard than they were when I had hair on the scalp (knock on wood) lol
I've always used a computer screen and kept scissors by my chair, like you said I always had a check through every day or so. Split ends happen so easily.
I've never seen anything like this before. All I have around at the moment is a ream of printing paper. I'll be at 3 years June 1st, pretty sure I've plenty of split hairs that need to be addressed. Thanks, Dan.
Dan, do you have a video on how to inspect your beard in the beginning stages? Just starting out and I'm noticing some pretty wild hairs. My temptation is to cut them....but I'm thinking not? Thanks in advance.
For years, I've heard women talking about trimming off their split ends like it's an absolutely essential ritual. I've also heard women saying that cutting off the split ends actually helps the hair to grow longer. Now my wife just cut off my step-daughter's split ends. Respectfully, I just don't get it. What is the danger of having split ends? You mentioned that they can cause more problems. Specifically, what is the danger/problem with having split ends? So what if the ends or middle are not perfect...are they going to damage other hairs of my beard? I'm sure the appearance can be quite scraggly if a person has a ton of split ends and I don't want to look like some homeless dude who never cares for his beard nor uses product. All the same, I sincerely want to know what is the great problem with having some split ends. Thanks.
Definitely gotta try this out, especially for the middle hairs. Even before the rona, I consistenly have to put on/take off facemasks and hair bouffants (beard covers are basically a loin cloth for my face at this point) while I'm in the lab. I'm almost positive that's gotta create some form of damage 😔
Yeah my beard color is like yours and I watched 👀 your one about night time 🌃 route and down in FL my beard hair was falling out but it was my first time growing a beard and I was doing the playing with the beard so that was why it was falling out and I was looking for how to trim the beard and beard brand was the first thing that popped up and since it was my first time growing the beard out I keep looking and found your videos and and I would compare there's from yours and there videos sucks they just wanted to put a video out and 👎 not do there homework so I'm going to stop tipping I just woke up that is why there is a lot to read 📚
Great vid, as always. Thanks teacher!. I currently have couple of inches long beard and I started to notice some hair -beard- loss, is that normal? What does it reflect? Please save my life 😅🏃♂️.
Some men can't grow long beard. I have somewhat sparse beard but still quite decent full beard. It grows fast and is healthy. I treat it properly, eat healthy and use some supplements but it sheds/drops off at an average length of about 5 inches. Well mustach under the nose do not get that long and there is other variance as well. But basically I can not grow thick enough beard longer than 5 inch. Some hairs could grow to little over 6 inch but it would look stupid to have few long hairs and not an even beard. So for me it's better to keep that 5 inch length.
Good to know when it grows out again. Do you have any advice on patchy beards im 25 and struggling to get my mustach thicker and the underlip and chin I see the hairs they just don't want to grow out like the rest of my beard.
@@DanCBearded I have, well I wouldn't call it patchy but my mustache and under my chin grows much faster than my beard itself but my beard doesn't reach that close to my mouth area, it just almost reaches to like a little close to 1cm away from my mouth and I have a slight few small hairs growing down at the sides of my mouth. If I leave it to grow, any chance that those areas will eventually fill up the empty spaces into a full beard???
Great technique brother! I discovered this method some time ago, because the white t-shirt doesn’t help you get to those hairs in the middle of your beard . I find this process somewhat therapeutic as well, my gf gets pissed because I’ll be in the mirror for half hour doing this when I only intend on doing for 5 mins ! Also , quick question.. if I’m sliding a hair through my finger and thumb and feel a slight notch/bump at the tip of the hair yet don’t see it splitting is that a split end or something else ?
Oof this test is to honest, my beard is getting see trough and lots of hairs have broken off at the end. Had problems combing the last inch of my beard for a week or two, did not hope for results this bad. The tips of the hairs are exploded instead of pointy and I have some longer dents or flat pieces in the middle of the hair. I think this is because of the learning process of heat and tension to straighten hairs.
@@DanCBearded My goal was to go for the yeard 362 days ago, my first previous barber did cut of to much 2 times in a row and I found a better barber. Had 2 cuts to create the shape that I want and had one maintenance cut 4 months ago, this did result in my best beard ever. 3 more days and I will achieve the yeard, 4 months ago I was stoked about my progress and it's almost time to see what I can achieve with one year worth of growth. The growth process ends here, learned a lot from your channel during the yeard journey! Now it's time to make the barber appointment to get the sharp lines and a square beard shape that will be 2/3rd or even less of what I have now.
It all depends on the hairs. If they have a white bulb at the end, then I recommend nothing. Those hairs are healthy and shedding naturally. If they have a dark bulb at the end, then they are shedding prematurely. You will want to look at your water intake and vitamins. You will also want to evaluate how you are grooming. Less is more. Let the combs and brush do the work. Many guys are too aggressive. If there is no bulb at the end... you have breakage. You will want to really examine your beard and do all the steps in this video. As well as find the cause, similar to the last paragraph.
I had a question. I wanted to buy the Detroit grooming conditioner vanilla and amber scent.. I wanted to know if it’s an over powering scent.. I don’t want it to interfere with the different scent oils I use. Thanks
My beard is only a couple inches at this point otherwise it is very similar to yours, good things to know as it gets longer thanks. Would my beard, being as short as it is, have much trouble with split ends yet?
I just inspected my veard hairs. I loose between 10 and 20 hairs a day. All of which have the white bead on the end of them. Why am I loosing so many? Your video on shedding stated between 5 & 10 was normal.
I get some really crinkly hairs where the rest of my beard hairs are straight. Is that a similar problem to split ends? I normally pull them out when I find them.
I would never recommend pulling hairs out. Crinkly hairs are mainly from grooming and how your hair lays when you sleep. They aren't going to damage anything, but there is also no harm in trimming them down shorter.
@@DanCBearded they tend to appear in the places that I play with more often, should really stop playing with the beard! I'll stop pulling them out though if its not advised.
I almost tripped myself out looking at some of the beard hairs at the end .... because i was looking down my nose basically, the single hair doubled and i thought it was split at the end.... But my eyes were just playing games. Remember. Check twice, cut once .. *measure twice cut once*
Nice Full houses' Joey impression my friend. 😂😂 grooming is definitely my most favorite part of the day. It's so relaxing and just makes me zen and forget about everything but me and the beard for a minute
I am on the keto diet high protein and fiber. I drink 9 to 10 16oz bottles of water a day and I use oil in the day and butter at night in my beard. I also use your wash regiment. Why is this happening?
Hey dan c bearded i never tried that. I have good coverage on my beard rn i exercise, eat well, i drink a gallon of water, but i still don't get what im doing wrong to make my beard grow. My dad has a full goatee but he said he had hair at the age of 9 but he didn't have a full beard till he got older he 59 ssme with his father he can grow a beard but he shave it. So u think its my age
Depends on the product, but most of the time it would be a strong no. The environment of your head hair is much different than of your beard. Head hair products are often much more aggressive because of that environment.
Thank you brotha! Scuba is killin me on the quality video/audio and he brings the entertainment. I love that we can all have our different styles. I appreciate the kind words though 👊
That's the truth I have two young kids 1 is 5 years and the other is 8 months and the baby feels like he has he has a personal vendetta against my beard 😂😂

Had 2 cuts to create the shape that I want and had one maintenance cut 4 months ago, this did result in my best beard ever. 3 more days and I will achieve the yeard, 4 months ago I was stoked about my progress and it's almost time to see what I can achieve with one year worth of growth. The growth process ends here, learned a lot from your channel during the yeard journey! Now it's time to make the barber appointment to get the sharp lines and a square beard shape that will be 2/3rd or even less of what I have now.
My little boy loves to destroy beards as well. I understand that so much!
I been shedding more then normal, I drink alot of water ,biotin ,and multi vitamin
Have you had more stress?
I have looked for split ends, but really only at the ends. Have yet to find any. Is there a length where they’re more likely to begin showing up?
The longer, the more likely. Generally a good rule!
What would you suggest if you find you lose a noticeable amount of beard hair when grooming?
It all depends on the hairs.
If they have a white bulb at the end, then I recommend nothing. Those hairs are healthy and shedding naturally.
If they have a dark bulb at the end, then they are shedding prematurely. You will want to look at your water intake and vitamins. You will also want to evaluate how you are grooming. Less is more. Let the combs and brush do the work. Many guys are too aggressive.
If there is no bulb at the end... you have breakage. You will want to really examine your beard and do all the steps in this video. As well as find the cause, similar to the last paragraph.
I had a question. I wanted to buy the Detroit grooming conditioner vanilla and amber scent.. I wanted to know if it’s an over powering scent.. I don’t want it to interfere with the different scent oils I use. Thanks
It does linger for me a little bit, but nothing overpowering or bad
Thank you!
My beard is only a couple inches at this point otherwise it is very similar to yours, good things to know as it gets longer thanks. Would my beard, being as short as it is, have much trouble with split ends yet?
Less likely, but possible depending on the health of the hairs
@@DanCBearded Thank you.
Do you think tanning beds could harm beard hair ?
Yes. 100%!
@@DanCBearded thanks man.
You should review the hodgetwins beard oil
I will check it out and put it in my radar list. Thanks!
I just inspected my veard hairs. I loose between 10 and 20 hairs a day. All of which have the white bead on the end of them. Why am I loosing so many? Your video on shedding stated between 5 & 10 was normal.
It is different for everyone, sounds perfectly healthy!
I get some really crinkly hairs where the rest of my beard hairs are straight. Is that a similar problem to split ends? I normally pull them out when I find them.
I would never recommend pulling hairs out. Crinkly hairs are mainly from grooming and how your hair lays when you sleep. They aren't going to damage anything, but there is also no harm in trimming them down shorter.
@@DanCBearded they tend to appear in the places that I play with more often, should really stop playing with the beard! I'll stop pulling them out though if its not advised.
@@perrincoston9205 that would help a lot!
I almost tripped myself out looking at some of the beard hairs at the end .... because i was looking down my nose basically, the single hair doubled and i thought it was split at the end.... But my eyes were just playing games.
Remember. Check twice, cut once ..
*measure twice cut once*
Great advice!
Nice Full houses' Joey impression my friend. 😂😂 grooming is definitely my most favorite part of the day. It's so relaxing and just makes me zen and forget about everything but me and the beard for a minute
I have wavey hair which is quite thick and bristly so they all look as you’ve described... what do I do with it?
The individual hairs should not look like that for any type of hair, that would be damage. Look really closely at the individual hairs
I am on the keto diet high protein and fiber. I drink 9 to 10 16oz bottles of water a day and I use oil in the day and butter at night in my beard. I also use your wash regiment. Why is this happening?
Just worry less brotha!
Hey dan c bearded i never tried that. I have good coverage on my beard rn i exercise, eat well, i drink a gallon of water, but i still don't get what im doing wrong to make my beard grow. My dad has a full goatee but he said he had hair at the age of 9 but he didn't have a full beard till he got older he 59 ssme with his father he can grow a beard but he shave it. So u think its my age
Age plays a big part, for sure!
Mines too damaged, from poor habits to kid pulling, i gotta trim it an inch maybe.
Sounds like it’s time!
Looking for a great videos how to use safety and straight razors. Do you know any who are trustworthy?
I do not dabble in that stuff at all. Sorry! I don't follow anyone that I can think of
Thought it was just me who gets insecure about wearing white, I hate my beard against white!
Should I trim the stray hairs or let them grow out?
Like flyaways? Let them grow. A flyaway today is a part of a better beard tomorrow
Dan C Bearded thanks Dan
@@stevemacqueen4805 👊
We need a video of you eating BBQ ribs🍖. Or is that a no no 👎
I am planning on making a video about eating 👊
Dan c in this lock down my beard item is finish i can use hair products to my beards?
Depends on the product, but most of the time it would be a strong no. The environment of your head hair is much different than of your beard. Head hair products are often much more aggressive because of that environment.
@@DanCBearded thanks you brother
bro...your videos are literally next level. Sorry, but Scuba ain't got nothing on this content. Won't be long before you have higher subs.
Thank you brotha! Scuba is killin me on the quality video/audio and he brings the entertainment. I love that we can all have our different styles. I appreciate the kind words though 👊
That's the truth I have two young kids 1 is 5 years and the other is 8 months and the baby feels like he has he has a personal vendetta against my beard 😂😂
It is like they are naturally drawn to it, with the grip strength of Michael Jordan. It is crazy!
@@DanCBearded like a bug to light brotha!😂😂😂😂😂 I swear he comes out with a handful at least once to twice a day
What kind of scissors are those
These are the gold ones from badassbeardcare
Thanks for this video.. I have never done this before but I will give it a try this week.
Have you ever made any videos about people making fake oil’s for the face
Fake oils?
What about us salt and pepper brethren??
Go with a light blue or brown 👊
