Beard science and Bad Science

Hi, All;

I’m starting to grow out my beard. While I’m not quite looking for epic bearding, I do want the best looking beard possible.

I’ve been watching a lot of youtube videos about beard maintenance and care, and some of the statements made sound too much like bad science.

An example is beard oil. The claims made around these are that it replaces the natural oils your hair loses, and it hydrates your beard. These are leave-in products.

The biggest red flag, to me, is your head hair and facial hair aren’t massively different. And hair oils aren’t as well known as like shampoo and conditioner. So this sounds like a little light on the science.

Where can I find some science-based scrutiny of beard care products or science based beard care tips?
