Great for taming unruly beards
This beard balm works wonders in keeping my beard soft and manageable. It provides a nice hold without feeling heavy or greasy.
Disappointing scent
I was not a fan of the scent of this beard balm. It was too strong and lingered throughout the day, which was off-putting for me.
Moisturizing and nourishing
This beard balm keeps my facial hair hydrated and healthy. It helps reduce itchiness and dryness, leaving my beard feeling soft.
Average performance
I found this beard balm to be okay in terms of its effects. It did provide some conditioning, but I didn't notice any significant improvement in my beard's appearance.
Caused skin irritation
Unfortunately, this beard balm gave me some skin irritation after a few uses. I had to discontinue using it due to the discomfort it caused.
Moderate hold
The hold provided by this beard balm is decent, but it doesn't last as long as I would like. It requires frequent reapplication throughout the day.
The Shea Moisture Men’s Beard Balm offers a strong hold ideal for longer, thicker beards, lasting all day without feeling overly greasy. It provides excellent control for thick, unruly beards, adding a subtle sheen and conditioning the hair. With a light scent that is not overpowering, the balm keeps beards looking well-groomed and manageable.
The balm has a super thick, wax-like texture that can be difficult to apply, feeling sticky and greasy throughout the day. It requires effort to spread evenly, as the consistency resembles hardened beeswax, leaving a waxy residue that is challenging to dissolve in hands. Priced between $8.99 and $12.99, this balm works well for curly or coarse facial hair, offering lasting hold while enhancing shine and manageability.
Though the balm conditions and nourishes the beard, excessive use can result in a sticky, oily texture that persists all day and is hard to wash off. Its two-wax formulation makes rinsing and removal difficult, often requiring thorough washing. For best results, use a dime-sized amount, warm it between palms to avoid clumping, and apply gently to ensure even distribution across beard strands, leaving hair smooth and nourished after washing.
