Beard vs. Cold weather-Who’s winning?
Gentlemen, if your facial hair has been feeling like steel wool and flake like a croissant, this one’s for you. July in Nairobi is that shady friend who acts cool but leaves you high & dry—literally. Your lips, your skin, and yes, even your beard are begging for backup. At Hair Atelier, we’re happy to report that we have been saving beards from a seasonal crisis. Making certain that you walk into every room looking like the leading man in a skincare commercial.
For the benefit of the remaining cold days-what has been working?
Cold air is dry air, and your beard drinks up whatever moisture it can get. If you’re not already using beard oil, there’s no better time like now. We recommend a light weight, nourishing oil with argan or jojoba to lock in moisture without clogging pores. Get it ready for the incoming heat transition.
Pro Tip: Warm a few drops between your palms and massage it deep into the roots. Your skin will love you back for it.
2. Wash Wisely
Over washing your beard strips away natural oil. You should’ve been on a sulfate-free, beard-specific cleanser no more than 2–3 times a week. Better late than never?
Bonus: At Hair Atelier, our beard care experience includes a gentle cleanse that opens pores and softens your beard for peak moisture absorption. So, if you feel like you need some professional boost back to your awesome beard, pay us a visit.
3. Condition or Suffer the Scratch
Cold weather + no conditioner = beard that feels like steel wool. Use a rich beard conditioner or balm, especially if you rock a full, thick beard.
The cold season is not an excuse to look like you’ve been rained on indeifinitely. A well-shaped beard retains style and prevents split ends.
Tip: You might not be out of the woods just yet and you need your beard to change swiftly to the incoming weather change. Book a grooming appointment at Hair Atelier for a professional trim, edge-up, steaming, massage, and moisturizing. We’ll get those cheek lines sharp enough to slice through any wind.
Wearing scarves and high collars? Great for warmth, but they can tangle or flatten your beard. Before heading out, brush it down and apply a small layer of balm to reduce friction.
