Beard care is a world of its own, and that’s fantastic. A beard deserves the attention it needs. Let’s be honest, maintaining a beard takes more effort than a haircut. Although many don’t realise this, it’s the truth. A beard doesn’t just happen by itself. It demands your attention, time, and the right beard products.
Beard care can be divided into several categories, because plenty of Manmen use their hair shampoo for their beard. That’s perfectly fine, but if you treat your beard with the right Manproducts and use the proper beard products, you'll notice your beard will grow, become fuller, and look healthier.
What are the top ten best-selling beard care products in 2021?
Before we dive deeper into beard care, let’s start with the bestsellers in beard care. After reading the information below, you can easily choose from the top ten beard care products that suit your beard best. What works for one might not fit another beard’s needs.
It’s quite simple: as soon as you start growing a beard, your beard care basically begins. You might not even notice, but washing your beard already counts as beard care. A clean beard and skin is the foundation for proper beard care. Washing your beard — at first, your regular shampoo will do — creates a clean environment for your hairs to grow. No clogged pores from oily skin, but fresh and clean.
As your beard hairs get longer, after a week for some, after several weeks for others, you can start looking for a shampoo and extra care for your beard. Can you use your hair shampoo on your beard? Sure, you can. But keep in mind your beard hairs are much coarser than your scalp hair. If your beard is fine with beard oil, foam, or other beard products, that’s great! Convenient and easy.
If you notice your beard really needs special care for stiff beard hairs, we highly recommend investing in dedicated beard care products.
Every beard is different, which means your beard care should match your beard’s needs. Want to start easily and quickly? Order one of the following sets and get going. Reuzel, from Rotterdam, is renowned worldwide. And that’s no coincidence — their beard care is truly top-notch!

Who does what, and what it’s good for, you’ll find below. Once you’re clear on this, you can focus and find the perfect beard care for your beard.
What is beard oil good for, and is it suitable for my beard?
If you have a beard, you want it to look well-groomed, not like a messy, unkempt bush on your face. Beard oil transforms your beard into a well-cared-for mane that’s deeply nourished, gives a beautiful shine, and smells lovely! It also benefits the skin underneath and eases annoying beard itch. Once you’re used to beard oil, you won’t want anything else. You’ll think, "Why didn’t I start this earlier?!"
What is beard balm good for, and is it suitable for my beard?
Beard balm offers a different form of care and nourishment for your beard. While it also nourishes and cares like oil does, balm shapes and holds your beard. And that’s an important point. Beard balm is basically the styling product for your beard and moustache! There are lots of balms on the market, which is great. This lets you pick a balm that truly matches your beard’s needs and your personal preferences. Your beard hairs stay exactly where they should, it adds a lovely shine, and of course a nice scent. Not unimportant — being stuck with a bad smell all day is awful. A quality beard balm brings out your beard’s natural colours. Even more intense beard vibes! Use beard balm on a damp beard :)
What is beard shampoo good for, and is it suitable for my beard?
As you may have noticed, beard hairs are prone to drying out. Even if you use beard wax, balm, or oil. These products require thorough washing, or else build-up occurs, which dries your beard out more. This is something you want to prevent. A good shampoo targeted to beard needs ensures your beard looks immaculate and healthy.
Does beard care make my beard grow?
Yes and no. Good beard care and routine help your beard grow by keeping it in top condition. It keeps skin clean and cared for, and so does your beard. By optimising the conditions, your beard will grow better, and you’ll see real results. Of course, this doesn’t mean you stop after a month. Your beard routine requires ongoing care.
Is there special care for my short beard?
Beard care is for all beards, but your routine will vary from someone with a long beard. A short beard needs less attention, so you’re done quicker. However, good beard oil is important for a short beard. Why? Because it keeps your beard soft, and even short hairs need care. A short beard can irritate faster because hairs are short. A good beard shampoo is also recommended because it cleans and nourishes well. You can use hair conditioner, but it won’t cleanse your beard thoroughly, which can lead to build-up and irritation.
Is there special care for my long beard?
There’s a clear difference between caring for a short beard and a long beard, just like with hair length. A longer beard (from two centimetres) no longer pricks or irritates your skin, so your main focus is intensive care and styling. If you have a long beard, you deal with hairs going all directions, especially since they’re coarse. If your beard is grey, your hairs are even coarser, making care essential. Beard oil remains important to nourish and soften your beard hairs. You’ll also need a good styling product to keep your beard in check and deeply hydrate your hairs.
