The more this pissant and others of his ilk rage against beards the more I'm tempted to grow a big auld John Brown beard. I have the capacity to and simply choose not to because it gets right fucken itchy.
Beard oil. It exists, it is amazing, and it stopped my itching. I comb a little into my beard every one or two days, takes like 5 minutes if I go slow.
Beard oil and beard balm are why I don't look like a crazed mountain hermit. They're really phenomenal stuff!
for many types of beard itch, beard oil can also be a long term negative. if the itch is caused by fungal infection (same as dandruff and lots of skin issues), that infection feeds on the oils
in that case, you need daily anti dandruff shampoo, and not all are created equal: different types may work better or worse for different people
And it's not always treatable with shampoo. At some point, dandruff is dermatitis, and at some point after that, dermatitis may be psoriasis. If OTC topicals don't cut it, check in with a dermatologist. That's how I learned I also had psoriatic arthritis, as it was resolved with prescribed medication
Thanks for the advise. I may let it grow out more than an inch and this will help.
Tell us about this bear oil.
I grew up in a fundamentalist environment and heard tons of crap about how beards were bad or whatever. Never made sense to me, Jesus had one. Soon as I left high school I grew a beard (dirty-ass chin-strap because it was the year 2000 lol). I've sported a full beard pretty much ever since. It gives me a jawline, plus I enjoy the feeling of spite.
That, and isn't there a lot of stuff in "the" bible about not cutting your hair and your beard?
I’ve had a beard for years now. The itchiness goes away after the first few weeks.
Anti dandruff shampoo also helps.
The only time mine itched against my neck was a fresh cut to under 1/2". It was the right combo of fresh-cut squared hair ends and short length allowing a stiff stab to the neck. The hair ends taper to a flexible point after a couple weeks. It's been significantly longer for years. Now I just get some surprise tickles in my ears on polo shirt days
For me it's not the hairs making things itchy, it's the hair follicle itself that gets itchy past a certain length.
