Having a beard can be a double-edged sword. While a properly shaped, well maintained beard can make you look like the royalty, a dry and frizzy beard can make you look shabby and homeless. It's completely up to you to make the former happen, though more often than not, most of our homies have no idea about how. Fret not, for this is exactly what we are going to tell you. Here are 3 easy ways to straighten and shape your frizzy and curly beard, while getting rid of the dryness.

1. As an immediate fix while going out, wash your beard with a mild shampoo. While your beard is still slightly damp, take a good beard balm/wax, and apply it throughout your beard. Use your fingers and palms to give it the desired shape. In case you want better results for an extremely wiry beard, get your hair dryer. Put the setting on the lowest heat, and use it on the beard while combing it out gently. Once you're done, put some more balm to set it all together.

2. Use a beard conditioner regularly. Your beard is extremely prone to dryness, more than the hair on your head. It's important for you to replenish the dryness that is causing it to become wiry and curl up in knots. If you can't find a beard conditioner, you can make do with a regular hair conditioner as a last resort. Use it twice a week. Also, try using a leave on conditioner regularly, and shape your beard as you apply it.

3. As a permanent fix, use a good beard oil regularly. After using it regularly for a couple of weeks, you will see the difference. A beard oil will moisturize and nourish your beard, thereby making it smoother, softer, while also making it less tangly, curly, and wiry. Use a comb while you use it, to spread it evenly throughout.
