Fighting the heat wave may seem like an impossible task for our beard, but thanks to some smart moves, it is possible to overcome this challenge. Don’t worry beard lovers, heat and humidity will be nothing more than simple formalities to manage a summer-sized beard look. Here's how to do it!
Cleansing makes a good beard
During summer, the heat can be a catalyst for dirt: because of the high temperatures, it is much easier for our face to sweat and consequently for the beard to get dirty more quickly. Cleanse it regularly with a beard-specific shampoo to remove impurities and keep it clean. You can choose between Delicate Cleansing Fluid and Restorative Nourishing Shampoo according to your needs: the former, with its fluid texture and unusual tomato leaf fragrance, is particularly suitable for frequent washing in cases of skin hypersensitivity; the latter, on the other hand, soft and creamy with notes of almond and pistachio, is a mouth-watering pampering treat to indulge in 2-3 times a week for those with dry, frizzy beards.

SUMMER TIP: After washing the beard, it is also highly recommended to dry it well, in fact, excessive sweating and humidity could promote the appearance of mold or mildew among the beard hairs. How to dry the beard though? Dab it gently with a clean towel until it is completely dry.
The right care according to length
Long or short, beards always require a great deal of care. Those who think that a short beard requires more sloppy care are sorely mistaken: it is just a matter of adjusting one's gestures according to length without ever letting one's guard down. A long beard (more than 5 cm) requires the use of a comb and oil to detangle and soften the hair. A 100% natural dry oil such as Oliocento is the perfect weapon in these cases: it deeply nourishes the beard, making it soft and shiny. Different discussion, if it is a short beard. In fact, on shorter lengths it is better to opt for a beard brush and conditioner. With our Beard Brush, thanks to its boar bristles, you can evenly distribute a beard balm such as Agnostico, which helps tame even the toughest and most unruly beards.

SUMMER TIP: Dedicating adequate nourishment in the summer is the only solution to combat the aggressive pressing of sun, chlorine and saltiness: all elements that can wear down the hair, compromising its health and beauty.
New look for summer
To achieve a beard with sharply outlined and defined contours, use Invisible Shaving Gel. This gel ensures a precise shave thanks to its unique formulation that creates a protective barrier between razor blade and skin, reducing the risk of irritation, cuts or scratches. Its transparency allows you to precisely shape the contours of your beard and flaunt a fresh look every time. If, on the other hand, you are planning a more drastic beard look change and don't fully trust your skills, book an in-store service. Our barbers will help you choose the new beard style that best suits your face shape.

SUMMER TIP: Whichever look you choose, don't make the mistake of exposing yourself in the sun before you've trimmed or shortened your beard: color differences on untanned skin might be noticeable! And remember never pick up a razor in the morning before a sunny day to be spent outdoors; in fact, exposing your bare skin, previously covered by your beard hair, to direct sunlight is highly inadvisable, as your skin could become very irritated by the invasiveness of sun and razor.
