I just dont want to look more homeless than I already do lol!I just use hair conditioner when I shower and mine stays pretty straight. I use to do the oil and all that other stuff but it didn’t really do anything just conditioning it doesn’t do. I’ll steal my wife’s brush and use it to pull out dead hairs but usually just run my fingers through it. View attachment 188804 It’s pretty majestic on its own. I have been getting it trimmed up a bit when I get a hair cut since it doesn’t grow as long in the middle.

That was funny as hell right there.Man up...
I think it's just past the itchy phase, except when I wear my chinstrap for my CPAP machine, it makes it itchy AF. Growing it out on account of the wife likes it. I dont think I've ever had it this long. From my jaw line down it's not patchy but my cheeks are for some reason, meh... it needs a touch up, gotta get rid of the 'neck beard' lolI condition in shower. Don't wash it everyday. Maybe twice a week depending on how sweaty your job is. You don't want to be stripping the natural oils from your hair and skin.
If I haven't been rolling in mud or sweating heavily I rinse it well and condition only.
I occasionally use some quality beard oil (this is for the skin mostly actually). Keep it lubed somewhat, as if it dries out it will start breaking off when you brush it.
If I am going out, and need to tame it a bit (or if its feeling dry), I use the "Grave Before Shave" beard balm. A little goes a long way with these products. Good balm gives it nice texture and will clean up the look quite a bit. Too much and it will feel greasy and annoying, so go light and really get it in there.
I also have a good Barber who knocks it down when I get my hair cut once a month. Mine is pretty curly and needs pretty good length to become manageable. I embrace the curl and don't fight it. Get a lot of compliments on it actually.
A lot of guys are afraid to grow it out for two main reasons:
1. It needs to grow quite long to get over the itchyness, as the hair begins to curl back into the face at first. This will drive you nuts, but you gotta get past it.
2. Patchyness. You have to get some length on it and the patches will start to disappear.
Might seem like a bit of work, but so much easier than shaving every day. Not sure I can ever go back.
Stubble is not good! lol.Just wash, condition, blow dry and brush and yours can look like mine.
Tip: Whatever oil/balm you use. Make sure SHE likes it.
I have had my beard for years. Tried most products. Find a shampoo your girl uses that doesn't strip the natural oils out of your beard. Conditioner is an important step. Again take whatever she uses to start with. Find what you like and stick with it. IMO the beard specific shampoos and conditioners arent worth the coin. Be careful what face soap you use. Some of them will dry your skin out and make you have more beard dandruff.
Boars hair brush......dont brush too much . Most any brand will do walmart sells a Goody brand one.
