The Ultimate Grooming Guide for Aussie Men
Growing a beard is one thing. Maintaining a healthy, great-looking beard? That takes knowledge, the right tools, and a solid grooming routine. Whether you're rocking stubble, a short boxed beard, or a full mane, this guide will help you keep it fresh, clean, and impressive.
At DGS Direct, we know beards—and we’ve got the tools to help you manage yours with confidence.
1. Wash Your Beard Regularly
Just like the hair on your head, your beard traps dirt, sweat, and dead skin. Use a gentle beard shampoo or wash 2–3 times a week to cleanse without stripping natural oils. Avoid harsh soaps or regular hair shampoos—they can cause dryness and irritation.
✅ Pro tip: Use lukewarm water to avoid drying out your beard and the skin underneath.
2. Condition with Beard Oil or Balm
Healthy beards are hydrated beards. Applying beard oil daily softens coarse hair, reduces itchiness, and moisturises the skin. If you prefer a bit more hold, use a beard balm—it offers the same conditioning benefits with extra styling control.
At DGS Direct, we stock a range of natural beard oils and balms perfect for every beard type.
3. Trim It Regularly
Even if you’re growing it out, a regular trim prevents split ends and keeps your beard looking sharp. Invest in a quality beard trimmer or grooming kit that allows you to maintain your desired length and shape.

4. Brush or Comb Daily
Brushing your beard with a boar bristle brush or wooden comb helps detangle knots, train hair growth direction, and evenly distribute oils. It also stimulates blood flow to your follicles—encouraging healthier growth.
5. Eat Right and Stay Hydrated
What you put in your body affects beard health too. Foods rich in protein, omega-3s, and biotin (like eggs, salmon, and nuts) support stronger, fuller beard growth. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water to keep your skin and beard hydrated from the inside out.
6. Avoid Over-Styling or Harsh Products
Limit heat tools and chemical-laden styling products—they can damage your beard. Stick to natural, beard-specific grooming solutions designed to nourish and protect.
