Beard balm or beard oil? What is the difference between the two? Should I use both oil and balm together? This is one of the most frequent questions we get asked at BeardMajor. It is a question asked by everyone from new beardsmen all the way to experienced beardsmen. Most men with beards use both oil and balm, however, some people prefer to use the balm alone for styling.
Regardless of your beard length, or maintenance routine, we have written this article to enlighten you. Keep reading to find out the difference between beard oil and beard balm.
Most of this comes down to personal preference, the style of your beard and your beard grooming goals. But to answer this question, it helps to understand the purpose of beard oils, balms and what they contain.
Beard Oil
Want to grow a healthy beard? Beard oil is perfect for that. It is great for reaching the skin underneath your beard to prevent it from drying out and provide much-needed moisture. This results in a much stronger, shinier beard. BeardMajor’s beard oil contains essential oils and vitamins that promote your beard growth and help to replace the natural oils you lose when you wash your beard. Our Sandalwood beard oil, for example, is a light, non-greasy oil that helps to condition your beard and keep it smelling great.
Beard Balm
The main difference between beard oil and beard balms is that our balms provide more hold. This is because they are made using a base of beeswax and avocado seed oil. It is a creamy substance that melts into your palm when you rub it. Most balms tend to use shea butter as a base, however, we use avocado butter because it is lighter and contains minerals that can prevent hair from breaking. The biggest benefit of using a beard balm is its ability to hold and provide structure for your beard and give it more volume, making it look fuller and thicker.
Which One Should You Use?
The answer is straightforward; if you are just starting your beard journey and have a short beard, use beard oil. It will help reduce itchiness, moisturise your skin and promote beard growth.
Beard balm is best for conditioning and styling your beard. It will help you tame an unruly or wild beard. Use beard balm if you are a bit further into your beard growth journey and want to keep it structured.
The best way is to use both at the same time to keep your beard looking naturally shiny and thick. The oil creates an environment for growth by moisturising your skin and keeping the beard soft, while the balm will keep your beard conditioned, help you style it and give it a fuller, thicker appearance.
