Beard Control Conditioner With Aloe & Jojoba

Disappointing product. Wanted an alternative to wax for styling my beard but the hold in this product is too light. It also made my beard feel stiff and a bit itchy rather than soft or conditioned, so not a good alternative to oil either. Plus it smells chemically, like hair spray. Bad all round.

My husband really likes this product. He says the scent is great not overwhelming and leaves his beard manageable. He says it’s economical as you don’t need a lot of product and does not leave sticky residue.

I’ve given this four stars because, in my opinion, it’s not a strictly necessary product to have. I personally don’t need it in my day-to-day. However, I’ve discovered that during wash day, it really does put back the moisture in you’re beard.

My previous routine consisted of showering to add water to my beard, adding oil, then finishing off with some beard balm for final styling. This method’s worked quite well for me. my beard generally stays quite moisturized for a couple of hours after application. For me, this is enough.

Where this product makes a difference is that it further moisturizes my beard helping its softness to last longer. I apply it first after my shower before the oil and then continue with the aforementioned routine. For afro hair, I’ve noticed my beard is ‘bouncy’ and there’s less shrinkage my beard holds the pre-styled shape a lot easier and for longer and finally looks more like it’s the true length.

The icing on the cake, however, is that I’ve discovered that after washing your beard it seems to do a REALLY good job of holding in the moisture and keeping my beard soft, which is something I struggle to get with my hair type.

Overall I’m very satisfied. If you’re looking to buy it, I’d say it’s more of a luxury item. Most won’t need it. Beard oil, shampoo and balm are basically what you need because the oil is supposed to act as a conditioner. This just adds that little extra. I’ve gotten by with less.

Not sure how to rate it based on what was received. I think it’s pretty good.

Received it with an expired date sticker. Returned it to receive a replacement from amazon with another expired sticker on it.

Reached out directly to Billy Jealousy to see if it mattered. No reply.

So…. 3 stars! Just wanted to know if something in it truly expired and it shouldn’t be in my beard or it was just a marketing angle.

I guess we’ll never know…

It shore does help tame my beard and keeps most hairs in place. I’ve noticed that it does it’s job best if you apply it on a completely dry beard. So not after a shower. I noticed some complaining about the beard feeling a bit stiff… I don’t know what they would expect if they want some control. The feeling isn’t bad and I deal with it as long as the beard maintains its hold. During mid day, if I’ve been running around a lot and the beard looses its shape, all I do is run the comb and the shape it again without any additional application. It’s a bit flaky, but not noticeable (only when I run the comb through it hours later). I don’t know how I feel about the smell. It’s a nice hair conditioner type smell that you’d find at a hair saloon. I don’t hate it but can do without it. I’m happy to buy a product that is not tested on animals, so that’s a great plus.

Reason for 4 stars: Looking at the ingredients, I’m not too happy with some of them. It uses fragrance, which is no bueno for the hair if used regularly. Overall, their ingredient list is safe (although not natural) and some are even beneficial. I use this product once a week when I go out and have a long night ahead of me and want the confidence that my beard is looking good. Otherwise, I stick to natural stuff for the majority of the week.

This is a very light product of a shampoo/conditioner like consistently, that doesn’t leave your beard greasy and wet feeling. The Scent is masculine, but not overwhelming. It is a bit expensive, but in this snakeoil market a product that actually preforms as its advertised is a rarity, so imo its worth the extra cost
