Yeah itā€™s all fine for some of you guys, but heā€™s the ponytail-and-beard programmer type. He certainly washes it, but if he can run his fingers through it enough to get it in a ponytail, heā€™s good on the brushing.

I had to look up ā€œbeard balmā€ and ā€œbeard brush,ā€ and Iā€™ve been wearing a beard on and off since Ford was president.

See there goes my hopes that you manly men would have recommendations for beard care :laughing:

My recommendation is to stay out of shops that charge $125 for a brush and a bottle of snake oil!

Back when my beard was long and inclined to stiff bushiness I found that using conditioner on it in the shower would gentle it down, and a hard rubber comb of the 25 cent variety was useful for keeping out food and sparrows. I would never put a pomade on my beard - too Tammy Faye Bakker.

I think I stated earlier that MrsTobinL would quit giving me smooches and add it to the divorce complaint if I grew out the facial hair.

Coconut oil. Blend it with almond oil and a little scent if you want something extra.

Or mix it with rum and pineapple essence for a day-long pick-me-up. Your tedious workday meetings will be transformed into a tropical island paradise with your Pina Colada-scented facial cocktail!

ETA: Beaten. Itā€™s actually a thing. https://blacklabelbeard.com/product/pina-colada-beard-balm/
If they need a copywriter, Iā€™m very cheap!

Any recommendations on a good styling product for curly/wavy hair that frizzes out? Iā€™d prefer something available at drugstores and relatively cheap, if possible. I like to put in product (mousse or gel) and let it air dry but nothingā€™s working lately. And I tried a couple of products that reviewed well on the Web (Tresemmeā€™s Climate Control mousse was one) to no avail. :confounded:

Depending on the demographics where you live, Target sometimes carries Miss Jessieā€™s products. Theyā€™re better for thicker/coarser curls, but Iā€™ve used them on my very fine 2C/3A curls sparingly.

Pure Moroccan Argan Oil is usually available at the grocery store in a little spray bottle.

My current product of choice is this product with a ridiculous name.

Of course the best thing is to let it air-dry without touching it, but in Seattle that means my hair wouldnā€™t be dry until at least lunchtime.
