The key to cleaning a lace beard is to gently dab it dry instead of rubbing to avoid tangling. Once dry, you can comb and restyle it.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Gentle Drying: After washing your lace beard (presumably with a mild cleanser, though the reference doesn't explicitly state how to wash it initially), the most important step is the drying process.
- Dabbing vs. Rubbing: Avoid rubbing the beard with a towel. Rubbing can cause the delicate lace and the beard hairs to tangle, leading to knots and potential damage.
- Dabbing Technique: Use a soft towel to gently dab the beard, absorbing excess water. Repeat this process until the beard is damp but not soaking wet.
- Drying Considerations: Allow the beard to air dry completely after dabbing. You can speed up the process with a cool air setting on a hairdryer, but avoid high heat, as this can damage the synthetic or natural fibers.
- Restyling: Once the beard is dry, you can comb and restyle it as desired. Use a wide-tooth comb to prevent pulling or snagging.
