Hi everyone

I've been growing my beard for slightly over 6 months. Trimmed it a bit when needed. The biggest issue i have right now is that i can't get it to stay flat throughout the day. I use beard oil and balm but none of it helps. What can i do to keep it flat and prevent it from curling?

And as you can see from the pics i have a pretty awesome mustache. But the hair keeps curling into my mouth. Suggestions to help prevent this from happening please.

Currently i wash my beard twice a week with beard wash and condition. I do however wash the exposed part of my face every day and night as well as apply a face cream, as per the suggestion of my dermatologist, but obviously my beard gets wet whilst washing my face night and day. What would be the recommended beard care routine day and night?

Pics of my beard below:

As you can see i have a decent mustache but my cheeks haven't filled as much as i had hoped.

I'm open to any and all advice!

 

Thanks everyone.

  To help it lay flat all day, I recommend Styling Balm. It works great to tame those stray hairs and maintain the shape you're looking for.

  For morning routine, you can use Beard Oil or Utility Balm, then blow dry, and follow up with the Styling Balm.

  As for night, you can use less Balm to coat your beard and skin. But not too much though, as you don't want to go to sleep with too much resting on your face.

  Time and length are going to be your friends. I have a similar beard, maybe slightly less curly. Once I let the sides grow for several months they started to lay down better. The Styling Balm will definitely help. I would also recommend Mustache Wax for your mustache to start training it out of your mouth.

  Your beard is looking great! I had the same problem and as the sides have grown it has started to lay flat. I also just received the Styling Balm and as Josh said it works great for holding down those pesky curly hairs. I had one side that stuck out and mustache wax did the trick.

  Styling balm is a must for you my friend. You don't need a lot. As the rest say, as it grows longer it will naturally lay flatter. Plus I find a brush straightens out my hair more than a comb. Maybe it's just me. But worth a try. Also I find that applying a light oil at night makes the beard hair super soft, and the softer the more it lays straight. Just another idea.
