Hitting the waves is a way of life for many Aussie men, but saltwater, sun, and wind can take a toll on your beard. After a surf session, your beard might feel dry, tangled, or rough. With the right care routine, you can keep your beard looking fresh and healthy even after hours in the ocean.

Rinse Your Beard Immediately After Surfing
Saltwater can dry out your beard, leaving it brittle and tangled:
- Rinse with fresh water as soon as you’re out of the ocean to remove salt buildup.
- Use a gentle beard wash if possible, but avoid harsh soaps.
- Pat dry with a towel instead of rubbing to prevent breakage.
Hydrate and Nourish to Prevent Dryness
Salt and sun exposure strip moisture from your beard, so replenishing hydration is key:
- Apply beard oil after rinsing to restore natural moisture.
- Use a leave-in conditioner or balm for added hydration and protection.
- Drink plenty of water, as hydration starts from within.
Detangle and Brush for a Softer Finish
Ocean winds can leave your beard tangled and unruly:
- Use a wide-tooth comb first to gently detangle knots.
- Follow up with a boar bristle brush to smooth and distribute oils.
- Avoid over-brushing to prevent unnecessary stress on the hair.
Protect Your Beard Before Your Next Session
A little prep before heading into the water can make post-surf care easier:
- Apply a small amount of beard oil or balm before surfing to create a protective barrier.
- Wear a surf hood or rash guard if you’ll be out for long periods.
- Stick to a regular grooming routine to keep your beard resilient.
With these simple steps, your beard can stay healthy, soft, and well-groomed—even after an intense surf session. Beard Guru’s premium products are designed to help Aussie men maintain their beards through any adventure.
