well basically to have a long beard is do nothing to the beard no
trimming or scraping , then use the mildest shampoo like baby shampoo
and if the hair is dry two or three drops of hot oil in the
conditioner . How do I know if my hair is dry ? well just pinch the
ends of your hair between your thumb and forefinger it should slide
without slip and stick if its smooth then all is ok , but if its not a
smooth slide then hot oil every time is a must , then spray on detangler
[ in the baby isle ] next is no heat on the hair always let it air dry
then fingerrake from the bottom up never the top down , untie any knots
pick them open with a ballpoint pen . also the comb for a beard is an
afro comb wide teeth let it fall through the hair never rip it through
this will cause permanent damage. We dont want that.Live long and
furrie.G. Singh
