Guest Post -Beardsley Ultra Beard Conditioner & Shampoo

Despite 14 years of beard wearing (short and trim until now), I only recently became aware of beard-related products once I started getting serious about growing a proper beard. I knew nothing of beard serums, oils or scrubs, but now I’ve discovered a whole world of beard care.

My first experiences with any of these products came about thanks to a fellow hirsute friend and beard fan who recommended Beardsley’s conditioners and shampoos. The two products I’ll focus this review on are Beardsley’s Ultra Beard Conditioner and Ultra Beard Shampoo. You can find the full range of Beardsley products all over the internet, but do remember to shop around, the prices seem to vary from around £8-15.

Mmmm, delicious

First of all, these two products smell amazing. The Shampoo’s ‘flavour’ is wild berry, and it really does smell of a fruity forest – so much so that you’ll smell it in your moustache for the rest of the day. For bearded people who like to have a nice smell about them all day, this shampoo ticks all the right boxes. The conditioner also smells nice, but doesn’t have a ‘flavour’. Think Fructis Thickening Conditioner’s scent and you’re on the right path.

Both products also go a long way, you only need a little to build up a very thick lather with the shampoo, and the conditioner seems capable of covering even the biggest of beards with a pea-sized amount. So, don’t go mad and the bottles will last you a good while.

The verdict

Most importantly, however, is do they work? In a word, yes. The shampoo leaves your beard feeling very clean, and the conditioner softens thick beard hairs extremely well. In combination, these two products leave your beard feeling clean and soft, and easy to comb and style with a little wax (perhaps I’ll cover wax in another review for Amy at a later date?!?).

I have dreamed a dream, and that dream is of a flowing beard upon my face. Thanks to Beardsley’s products, it’s a soft and gorgeous-smelling beard.
