I've been maintaining my beard at an advanced level for several years now, and this video taught me I've been combing way too fast. You can indeed teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks Dan! 👊🏼

This video will help so many! I believe most of us have made these mistakes before. Thank you for all you do Dan!

Beardsmen need to listen to this guidance. It was a game-changer in my journey. Getting the correct comb and brush for your beard makes a world of difference. Cleaning them keeps everything healthy

I did try every comb you can think of, (horn, wood, cheep plastic, cellulose acetate, everything lol). The Kent combs (cellulose acetate) are great, but still would get static. Now all I use is the carbon fiber Chicago combs (the #6, #8 and #9 (aka the pet comb) I use the 6 and 9 for heat styling. I use the 8 to finish and shape, it’s also my pocket comb for out in the world styling emergency’s Great video Dan! I hope every bearded person out there stay’s far, far away from those cheep pressed plastic combs 💯👊🤘

Hey Dan!! I needed this video on all levels. The things that you pointed out I have been very guilty about when it comes to combing or picking out my beard fast. I received this as correction and I’m gonna run with it. I am totally with you about having different combs for specific assignments. Like for me, I love to use a wood pick to help distribute the product throughout the Beard, but I am all about Chicago Combs when it comes to styling and adding volume. (No. 8 & 11 to be specific and No. 10 to carry in my pocket)

Perfect beard day!🔥🔥

Great info Dan! You pointing out combing too fast, did make me realize, I am combing too fast. I'll sometimes think its pretty well combed and speed up, then blow right through snags and sometimes rip hairs out. It's hard when your trying to get in and out, but really glad you reminded me of this.

Dan and the tips! Should be your new youtube slogan, always a good idea to listen to any tips! Everyone has something they can offer to others. Thanks again buddy!

Was just thinking about this topic yesterday. I actually ordered a wooden beard comb to take with me on the go. Good video Dan, great info. ❤

Great video and advice as always Dan 👍 Good quality comb and clean your combs regularly.

Why every time I ask myself a beard related question, Dan makes a video about it at the same time answering that question? That’s amazing :)Thanks so much Dan for everything you do! Have a great day! Yanick

Man, I think that I keep learning and your content helps in this BeardQuest.

6:17 DanC, I actually clean my aberlite every day as well. With a dry paintbrush, after my nightly butter routine, I typically look down at my aberlite and make sure it’ll be clean for the next morning’s straightening.

Excellent advice Dan! 👍👍 I definitely need to slow down when combing, and not mindlessly muscle through snags. Thanks for the reminders! 👍👊

Dan the man !!! Thanks for great info and video . Always get new info and/or lead. Something form your videos thanks brother

Thank you Dan C for another great video as always of information and tips for beard care

Nice work Dan c! Another great video.

Great video Dan and always! Along my journey I've learned to used multiple combs in my grooming process. Do need to slow down while l comb though.

Well I just learned something new! Granted I knew everything you said......except the wash everyday I was doing like once every week or two and the toothbrush will help as I found it frustrating to get in between the teeth.

Great topic! New to combing game personally, trying to pick out some suitable options, thank you!

Dan, Never thought about cleaning the comb everyday, will try to do that. I use he Chicago Comb #8 and Pick #7 but my go to comb is the #8 hands down. I have several from different beard companies. I also use a few different wooden combs on occasion especially mustache combs. Thanks for another great video!

For my beard what number should I buy from Chicago beard combs for a pick comb what number would you recommend?

Dan another great video thank you brother

So much good info! Did anyone mention Chicago combs? Oh and Chicago combs😂. I also use pocket comb from beard brand on mustache. Have the pick comb but prob don’t use it enough. Awesome content 💪💪💪

Dan, I have a non beard question. After you stopped teaching, aside from RU-vid, what did you decide to do for a living after that? I recently made the decision that I don't want to be a teacher anymore, but I am still going down the path of getting a history degree.

I didn't even know a "good comb" even existed until I watched some of your older videos. Then I went on the river APP and found a really nice Kent folding comb and I mean a world of difference those "funeral combs" were chewing up my face . OUCH!!!

Hey Dan solid video and tips

I wear beard for ~20 years but always it was short because my hair there are very curly and it always looked like face pubes. Around 2-2.5 years ago I decided to don't care about how it looks and what other people will think and finally go for big one. I started using Chicago 8 after one of your videos from last year I think. I was using Kent but it's too small and irritatingly static (it's ok for moustache but I still prefer different - those small ones that's look like made exactly for moustache), I was also using those cheap ones and switching to Chicago combs was really something different. I have one in shower to use it like for last step there to untangle after washing and before drying. Another one is near my "station" where I have oil, hair drier etc. I'm thinking also about getting no 7 also.

Sometimes I do get in a little bit of a hurry combing. Thanks for the reminder!

Great tips and tricks. I still try to comb my beard in multiple directions. Then finishing combing down. I need to remind myself slow down all the time 😂

Thanks for the wash tip.

Never used a pick before I’ll have to get one! My beard by the jaw always and sides are always messy. I think due to a CPAP. I always rush threw my morning routine just to get on with the day and get to work, plus get to the other 200 things I need to do that day.

Thanks Dan.

I like using the hair round brush for my beard makes the beard look good

Hey Dan 👋, have you tried the smart flex paddle beard brush from Mad Viking Co?

Thanks Dan

Big Facts brother SLOW DOWN!!

I just watched this video out of habit but didn’t think it was going to be anything special I was totally wrong I did learn tips and thank you I am going to pass on this video to the younger people to educate them as well Thanks again

How should you wash a wooden comb? Any opinion on the Bass bamboo combs/brushes found in a lot of stores?

Funeral Home combs...not sure if I've seen that before. Now I will look..lol Yes, you are correct, there are some killer combs out there. I've had some good experience with wooden combs along the journey.

Hey Dan, product question.. have you ever tried the company Mean Beard? The guitar player for Three Days Grace founded it and I use it and just wondered if you’ve ever tried them

Mr. Dan. I've got a very curly beard. I use a sandalwood beard pick, but can you recommend anything else that will tame this beast and not rip it to shreds in the process? I'm averse to using anything plastic.

I used to use a kent comb, until it broke.. lol I was looking on amazon and came across the chicago combs... and WOW! such a difference! Just GLIDES through the beard! :D I was in hospital for a small op this last week, and one of the nurses commented on my beard, and said "wow, that must have taken a lot of work" and it made me think... I see all these videos (which I love) about how to grow a beard! But I gotta say, I don't think I've ever seen the most actual, important, how to grow a beard, advice video..... Step 1, Decide to grow a beard. Step 2, Don't trim it. Step 3, Beard! But I guess you can't make a channel out of that! Lol

Hello Dan c great video

Hi Dan! I have a short beard. Is it recommended to apply balm daily on my beard and skin, as long as I wash it every day? (Unfortunately, here in Brazil we don't have Beard Butters, so balm it's the only option).

Combs are the most important thing while also being so easy to skip starting out. I dont think most people are aware most the stuff aold to help hair care can hurt so much at the cheaper end of the scale.

Do you use combs more than a round brush? I use a round brush for stiling and whenever i try a comb it doesn't work for me. My beard curls outwards at the ends. Will combs be more effective once my beard is a bit longer? My current length is almost at the clavicles at the chin portion

Dan, my beard is close to my face. I definitely brush my beard, but should I comb it? It's not long, by the way.

O freak I've been using a metal beard. Not very happy with it but now I'll use it for the dog 😂

I've gotten metal ones from beard companies, but only used them a few times many years ago, I was worried they'd be bad. Why was I right?

Dan, what do you recommend for cleaning a bristle brush? I have a shorter beard and rarely use a comb

I comb my beard while doing a handstand. This tends to increase the volume and eliminates the need for the pick comb. 🙃

Chicago combs? Absolutely!

Do you have a list of your products we can use for research? I didn't understand the brand type of comb you suggest, I have a long beard about 7in now and I can't use a boars head brush, so would like to get a good quality comb but don't trust what amazon says, thanks!

Excellent information Dan, I’ve also found that the shape of the comb 🪮 makes a big impact on my beard and styling. I have two Kent combs and one just is too big and boxy while one is skinnier and I just gravitate towards it daily

Nice beard tips❤

Dan, How can i find those beard hats you wear?

I'm fine in all these fields except for combing way too fast and too often, as a result I pull through snags before I get to notice I need to ease up. I've been better about catching myself and slowing down though.

I've always had a very short beard and used those cheap combs, recently I've let my beard grow out , I'm bnot sure how long I've started because my beard is totally white, it's been a couple of months, I can't seem to keep my hands off my beard I like pulling on it , it's probably bad for the beard, I use a boars hair brush several times a day, I use beard oil in the morning and beard butter in the afternoon, maybe I wash it too much, everyday, I want a good comb , but can you comb it too much, I guess I have about 3 inches in length I'd like another 3 inches, I kove your beard I'm not sure it would look good in white, I wear alot of kilts and always seem to get compliments with the beard and kilt

Before watching Dan C, I would comb too often on a dry beard. A little water helps.

Would it be beneficial to rotate like a week on biotin and a week on collagen or something like that, to avoid a plateau effect? Can the body get used to collagen and biotin and get less benefits if i use them both at once for a longer period? Does the plateau effect apply to this or is it best to use them both every day?

The# 7 comb is the number one comb everybody should have with a Beard. If you don't have one, definitely add it to your next order that you can

For new and intermediate beardsman suffering from wings and or dips i found this technique really good for drying and the combs size and type are huge deal to make the process simple and take least time. Check out Dans blowout video for better visual, this is how i work it but every beard is different, my hair is darker curly european/indo-european hair (every color, from distance looks dark brown) for reference which works best with heavier oils: Use blowout with hairdryer (air going up into beard from below) and pick like 7 or 11 from Chicago, or any good quality one of different material but similar shapes, pick because you can get all the cheek hairs up and out evenly, go one more time with the big Chicago Comb Model 8 for underside and forward, casually line base up evenly. Now you are looking kinda crazy but if its at all uniform its good. Now with Heat Brush use light pressure, no need to go down to skin, and with mild outward angle line up everything to where wings would be. If no heat brush Model 8 with hairdryer on medium and gently downward nice and easy. Hair Dryer and comb maybe even the easiest/quickest but i find i have less fly aways with a heat brush like Aberlite (lowest temp personal preference.) Then use "cold shot" (no heat mode on hair dryer, setting and or button) it into place regardless of if dried with heat brush or dryer+comb. Boom now no more crazy wings and your beard is full as can be. Where the wings would form is now lined up with the rest of your beard so it will just stay full and uniform all day no reason to stress. 💯

What pick comb by Chicago should I buy for my beard number

What do you think about wood combs?

I have a question not concerning combs but beard wash …. Castile soap? DIY beard wash

Where could I get that wide tooth comb ?

Aberlite Beard Mist

Carbon fiber is a game changer. If u guys want to stick to one comb only: carbon fiber it is. With that being said , make sure to lock around. There are companies that offer grade A carbon fiber at better prices. You shouldn't pay $10, $12, $15 for one comb. And like Dan says, different combs serve different purposes , try and test and stick to the ones that works better for you.

Good morning
