So, you’re ready to join the The Legion of The Groomed?!
“Umm, maybe, but what is it, actually?”
Good question.
You might already be in it. Let me explain.
At HD Beard we believe there are two types of men: men who care about their appearance, and men who don’t. It’s that simple.
You wouldn’t be here if you fit the latter, so let’s get to it.
The Legion of the Groomed is every man out there flying the flag for self-care, personal ambition and the fight to make the world that little bit easier on the eye, for the sake of us all!
So before we jump to the nitty gritty, let’s get one thing straight: we may all be brothers, but every man is different. That’s where the world of men’s grooming can get a little confusing, and that’s where HD Beard has got you covered.
This list of 3 golden nuggets, condensed from over 20 years of experience, is about to bust myths and set you straight, so you can head off-straight, towards your goals. Constructing a beard, skin and hair routine on the strongest foundations.
Alright then troops, let’s break it down:
1. All effective grooming routines start with the same principle – cleansing.
Think back to your last DIY project. You prepped the surface first, right? If the answer is “no”, chances are the cracks started to show pretty quick. Grooming is no different.
The primary goal of cleansing is to wash away those damaging, oxidation causing free-radicals that accumulate around individual hairs throughout the day – they come from unavoidable things like air pollution, UV rays, tobacco smoke and other environmental impurities. Unless you live in a hut half way up the Himalayas, it’s these free-radicals that latch onto the surface of your beard, skin and hair, robbing you of moisture and wreaking havoc on your hair and skin cells. It’s this process that makes us look more old and haggard than we really are… Lame.
HD Beard products break the cycle by treating the condition, not just the symptoms.
And as with so many things in life, the best solutions hang in the balance.
That’s why it’s essential to use products that strike that healthy balance between stripping away impurities on the one hand, and nourishing your beard, skin and hair on the other.
It’s the kind of job where you want to take advice from the experts… like HD Beard.

2. There’s no such thing as too hydrated.
You’ve heard by now how important it is for your overall health to drink a lot of water. Your personal instructor at the gym, your yoga teacher, your barber, even your weird aunt Gladys is in on the secret. But what gets left out of the conversation is how important hydration is for your hair and for your complexion too.
No matter your beard, skin or hair type, hydration is key. Now let’s have a quick look at why, and what you can do about it.
Your body is made up of more than %60 water, and it’s water that is the key to the healthy circulation of your blood. Blood circulates oxygen to your millions of cells and tissues, including, of course, skin cells.
No oxygen supply = no good.
Hydrated skin = healthy skin.
So, while regularly drinking water is an excellent place to start, it only gets you so far.
As you dive into the world of HD Beard Mens Grooming, you’re going to notice the words “hydration” and “nourishment”, dotted around all over the place, like homemade signs at Wrestlemania. That’s because locking-in moisture is your special-move when it comes to getting the three-count on dry, brittle hairs and red, irritated, flaky skin – banishing them to the past forever.
3. Never forget: Smell is the most evocative of the 5 senses.
“IF YA SMELL-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L, WHAT THE ROCK… WAS… COOKING”
Every single human on earth has their nose in their field of vision every single second of their entire life… but how often do you actually notice your nose? Not very often at all.
The same is true of our own personal odour. Beards, in particular, are an area where this gets overlooked. It’s time to choke-slam beard odour into the past, where it belongs… 1… 2… 3…
HD Beard products really come into their own in the scent department. As well as always sticking to our mission statement of providing the best, most nourishing results, using cruelty-free, natural ingredients and recyclable packaging, HD Beard products are all designed with smell in mind.
From subtly scented beard oils to elegantly fragranced hair and beard styling products. We want you to benefit from smelling classy, fresh and sophisticated at all times.
