Benefits of Regular Professional Beard Trims

Contrary to popular belief, most men do not simply shower, put on deodorant, and leave the house. In fact, for those with facial hair in particular, the grooming routine is far more comprehensive and long-winded than that – with beard trimming one of a handful of grooming regimes that men are advised to follow in order to promote healthy beard growth, clear and soft skin, and a beard which looks good.

Here at Boilerhouse Gentleman, beard trimming is one of a number of services we offer to men at different and varying stages of their beard growth. But before we get into the logistics of beard trimming and how to optimise your beard in terms of look and texture, let’s take a closer look at the benefits of regular beard trimming and why it’s such an important part of male grooming.

Trimming gets rid of knots, split ends, and tangles

Just as women book regular haircuts to rid themselves of split ends, so too should men factor beard trimming into their grooming routine. Beard hair often boasts a different texture to hair which grows on your head, which can make maintenance more difficult as beard hair requires more in the way of product and oil in order to feel soft and supple.

Trimming is an excellent way of identifying dry patches and also getting rid of any tangles which are unsightly and difficult to manage – eradicating them before they become full blown knots which impact the way your beard looks and is maintained. In short, by booking a trim every so often, you keep on top of the kinds of issues which can grow into bigger problems when left unattended.

Trimming makes your beard look clean and more symmetrical

Every man has their own vision of what a beard will look like – but we can’t think of a single one who dreams of an unkempt and unbalanced stretch of hair around their chin. A beard should be symmetrical and should frame the bottom of the face, presenting a clean and well-kept aesthetic which can add maturity to a face and make the individual look both respectable and grown up.

Beard trimming not only helps to keep stray hairs in check but is also one of the best ways of keeping on top of the texture and thickness of a beard. Paired with a great haircut, a manicured and symmetrical beard can transform a face for the better.

Trimming helps to promote healthy growth

Just as you would trim a favourite rose bush or plant in your garden, beard trimming is one of the best ways of ensuring that future growth is healthy and well balanced. When you continue to trim and clip away any stray hairs, you ensure that the main body of your beard looks and feels full and more bouncy – steering away from that straggled look that comes from a lack of care and attention.

Why booking a beard trimming at your favourite salon is a good idea

First thing’s first, when you book a beard trimming at your local salon, the team will be there to remind you about the importance of regular bookings – and will likely encourage you to book your next appointment when you’re in the salon, so that you don’t miss one.

In addition to achieving a perfect and well-manicured look, combining expertise with high quality tools, a professional barber such as our team at Boilerhouse Gentleman will also be able to recommend the best products to help your beard retain its health and to really inject some hydration into the skin underneath the beard as well as the beard hair itself.

Caring for your beard means selecting products and indulging in grooming routines which nurture both the beard itself and the skin around your jawline. Book a beard trim at Boilerhouse Gentleman and spend time with one of our expert barbers or stylists, discussing the best routine to care for your beard and keep it looking both ruggedly handsome and well-manicured.
