Grooming questions
Apologies for blocking out the face but I like my privacy.
My beard is VERY curly and wirey (much more than it looks here). Heated combs and hair straighteners do nothing, I’ve tried multiple. Most waxes work ok for about an hour and then my beard just poofs out after that. Still working on finding a wax that’s stronger. I get my beard tapered on the sides to help, I don’t like having a round beard, angled fits my face better. This photo was taken right after oiling and waxing so this is about as good as it gets.
I wash and condition it probably once a week, I don’t want to do more than that because I don’t want to strip too much of the natural oils that I figure are probably helping to keep the hairs straight. That being said, I have two questions:
1: how often should I oil my beard?
2: how soon after oiling can I apply wax?
