Beard Care 101:

Expert Tips to Keep Your Beard Looking Sharp


Whether you’re growing out a short stubble or maintaining a full Viking beard, looking after your beard is just as important as the hair on your head. At Big Jims Trims Bergen, we know that a great beard needs the right care, the right routine — and the right products.


In this week’s blog, we break down the essentials of proper beard grooming, introduce some of our favourite products, and give you pro tips to keep your beard feeling fresh, soft, and strong all summer long.

Step 1: Start with a Proper Beard Shampoo


Washing your beard regularly is the first step to keeping it clean, soft, and flake-free. Avoid using normal hair shampoo — it can strip away natural oils and leave your beard brittle and dry.


Instead, use a dedicated beard shampoo that gently cleans without harsh chemicals.


🧴 Try this:


  • Big Jims Trims Beard Shampoo – Vegan, free from SLS and parabens, designed to cleanse without drying your beard.

  • Anchor Jack Beard Shampoo – A deep-cleansing option that removes product buildup and leaves your beard refreshed.

Step 2: Hydrate Your Beard with Oil


A dry beard gets itchy, flaky, and scruffy. That’s why beard oil is a must — it softens your beard, nourishes the skin beneath, and adds a subtle healthy shine.


💧 Use 2–4 drops of oil after a shower and massage it into your beard and skin.


🔥 Top picks:


  • Big Jims Trims Bay Rum Beard Oil – Rich in Almond and Argan oils, with a warm, spiced scent.

  • Anchor Jack Beard Oil (Artemis) – Hempseed oil-based for deep hydration and anti-itch benefits.

Step 3: Condition and Style


After cleansing and oiling, longer beards especially benefit from extra conditioning and light hold.


🧈 Recommended for control & softness:


  • Big Jims Trims Beard Butter – Packed with Cocoa, Shea, and Avocado butters to hydrate and nourish deeply.

  • Anchor Jack Beard Balm – Medium hold with babassu and jojoba oils to tame and shape your beard.

  • Anchor Jack Beard Moisturiser – Lightweight and refreshing, ideal for short beards or daily touch-ups.


Use your fingers to apply, then comb through with a wooden comb or beard brush to distribute product evenly and stimulate healthy growth.


Why Good Beard Products Matter


Not all beard products are equal. Cheap options often contain alcohol, parabens, or harsh fillers that can irritate your skin or dry your beard.


Our Big Jims Trims and Anchor Jack products are proudly:

✔️ Made with premium ingredients like jojoba, hemp, and vitamin E

✔️ Cruelty-free

✔️ Designed for real results with no fluff


Take the barbershop home with you.

From sea salt sprays to beard oils, we’ve got the grooming gear to keep you looking sharp between visits.


Final Tips


  • Wash 2–3 times per week depending on your lifestyle

  • Oil daily or after showers

  • Use butter or balm if your beard is longer or more unruly

  • Comb through after applying any product

  • Trim regularly to keep your shape tidy


Looking after your beard doesn’t have to be complicated — but it does make a big difference in how you feel and look.
