its been enough time so...here are my thoughts with
@Baldheadlogic beard care items.
I want to say, i am unabashedly a Jas stan. Like thats my boo but i am going to keep my review as non biased as possible. I have not spoken with Jas prior to this posting, so she has no idea what I'm going to say. I also purchased these items and they were not gifted or anything like that. Now to the review.
I received the products maybe a week or so after I placed the order. I wasnt in a huge rush to get them as I had just started growing my beard and I was needing to reup on the vitamins and biotin.
First up...the price. I was able to get this while it was a flat $20 and she even paid for the shipping. For 3 products and the quantity in each container, i thought this was a more than fair price when you compare it to the Shea line of beard products which might run you, with tax, close to $30.
Next...the beard wash. Im not sure how many oz is in the bottle, but it is a lot!! Compared to other beard washes I had used, I was accustomed to something with a thicker consistency. BHL is a bit watery, but that's not a negative. I assumed that she probably isn't using a ton of additives that will give it the thicker consistency, so you just have to be careful to not squeeze the bottle, just naturally let it come out. I probably use about the size of a half dollar coin in my palm. I bring my chin to my hand so that it doesnt spill if i were to bring my hand to my face. Once i make contact, I then begin to spread throughout and that's where the magic happens.
I didnt notice a smell right out the gate, but once you begin to lather it up, a very very nice smell starts to appear. It lathers up VERY well. I let it sit for maybe a min or two after I've scrubbed it throughout the beard then rinse.
Beard Oil...The packaging I received was a bottle with a dropper included as the top. This is probably my favorite of the 3. Jas said to only use a couple of drops and with my beard partially wet, I gently squeeze two drops in my palm, rub hands together, and then spread throughout my beard. I'm not sure what the smell is, but it is REALLY nice. Has a sandalwood kinda smell if you're familiar with that. I then use my boar brush to make sure its spread evenly throughout the beard.
Beard Balm...Mine came in a can about a tad smaller than a can of murray's wave grease. I apply this in the morning after I've washed my face and brushed my teeth. Jas says to use a small dab. I use my pinky to gather up a lil bit, maybe the size of a dime or smaller. Rub in my hands and apply to beard evenly. While i love the beard oil for the smell, i love the balm for the application. It has really made a difference in how my beard lays after I brush it down after application.
I shampoo 2x a week, and use the oil and balm every night and morning. I've learned so much about beard care over the past 3 years. I can tell the difference in this short time how the products are helping my beard. I havent had any of the dandruff issues I had the previous two years. My beard hairs are always shiny and they arent brittle like in years past.
I really cant wait til my beard is longer so i can see how everything has come together, but i am definitely off to a better start this time around vs my previous 2 attempts when i started growing it.
Needless to say, this is a 5/5 product. BHL will be my primary beard care product for the foreseeable future.
Thank you Jas!!
