None of the products carry a particularly strong scent, and have been designed not to mask other smells or colognes that may be in your grooming regime. The Beard Shampoo has a pleasing, mild coconut aroma, and you’ll be finishing your grooming with the Beard Oil, which is unscented.

Beard Shampoo: It’s not necessary to use Beard Shampoo every day and, in fact, doing so could be counter-productive and actually strip the natural oils from your beard. Joe recommends that you use his Shampoo once or twice per week.

Don’t be fooled by the thin brown viscosity of the Shampoo; it’s more concentrated than you think and you shouldn’t need much, even for longer beards. Start by dispensing a small amount into your palm and massage thoroughly into your wet beard. A rich white lather will immediately form. If necessary, you can repeat the dose. Spend two minutes using your fingers to massage the Shampoo thoroughly into your beard, getting right down to the base of the hairs. Rinse out with warm water and pat your beard dry with a towel.

Beard Serum: Start by dispensing 4-6 drops into the palm of your hand and rub your palms together to warm the natural oils. Massage thoroughly into the beard, making sure you get to the skin, and massage into the roots of your beard. Finish off by using the Beard Comb to distribute the oils more evenly throughout your hair.

Beard Style & Straighten Wax: Use daily. As this product contains only 100% natural ingredients, it's safe to use as often as you need throughout the day. This Beard Styling and Straightening Wax is kind to sensitive skin and dry, and nourishes brittle beard hair.

As the wax is highly-concentrated, you won't need to use much: A little will go a long way. Due to the concentration of Beeswax (for straightening, styling and holding unruly beard hair), you may find the wax tough to penetrate at first. Dig your index finger into the balm and scoop out a tiny, pea-sized amount, and wipe this into your palm. Rub your palms together to melt the botanicals and plant butters, then massage in thoroughly from the skin and hair roots to the tip of your beard. Start with a small scoop and add more as necessary for longer beards. Finish grooming with a Gnarly Joe ® Sandalwood Beard Comb, to ensure that the balm is distributed evenly.

As your beard grows, the hair needs moisture and nutrients to thrive, which it takes from the skin on your face. This exhausts the finite amount of oils and moisture that your skin holds, as it now shares its stores with your beard, which can lead to both dry skin and brittle hair. This is a common cause of the dry, flaky skin that results in unsightly ‘beardruff’. Gnarly Joe® Beard products promote healthy growth by replacing those depleted oils in your skin, which soothes itchy skin, moisturises and softens your beard, and helps prevent beard dandruff.

The wooden Beard Comb is great to finish off with, because unlike plastic combs, it does not create static. Static not only makes the hairs wilder in appearance, they can get snagged and pulled out with the harsher materials and sharper teeth. Combing your beard regularly is important to train the beard to grow in the direction that you want. It encourages the hairs to grow outwards and straight, and prevents rogue hairs from turning back and growing into the surface of the skin, which causes irritation and painful red spots.
