Hey guys so I’ve started growing a beard almost five months ago and already have more then I’ve though I would get. The problem is that I just can’t wash my beard and style it/ have it look halfway decent afterwards as it’s all curly and really fluffy the only thing that’s really helps then is to wait over night for it to settle again. Is there anything to do against it as even a beard balm with quite bit of wax can’t do much?

The other thing is that my beard somehow always feels somehow dry or straw like and not at all soft although I’m using beard oil twice a day and it not being itchy at all. Is there something that helps with that or is that something I will need to live with?
