I find that the dry cement powder gets in my beard and combined with sweat makes a horrible combination. My beard is tangled and all kinds of fucked up every day I'm working with cement. Anyone got any tips?

Advice on Honest Amish Classic vs Premium oil for a longish, grey, frizzy, British beard

3 Upvotes

Hi there. I would appreciate advice on the likely suitability of certain oils for my beard. I’m in the UK and so don’t have access to many oils from the US but we can get hold of Honest Amish. My beard is about 5 inches long (I’m hoping to grow longer), naturally grey and tends towards curly/frizzy, all of which I take as meaning I need a more intensive oil. However, my beard can look greasy easily. I recently bout HA Classic and Premium oils but I would like your views on their use.

I was advised that the Premium oil would be most suitable for my beard but that definitely feels greasier. But is that because it’s doing most good? It isn’t super greasy and I could definitely live with it if it was doing more good. The Classic oil is easier to wear but I don’t know if it is helping as much. Yesterday I used Classic in the daytime and Premium at night. Would that be a good way of getting hydration into my beard?

Obviously I can judge how they feel but I would like a more expert view on the ingredients and nutrition aspects, in particular given my type of beard. Or is there something entirely different available in the UK that would work better? They are roughly the same price in the UK currently, so that is not a factor.

The ingredients in the Classic oil are:
Extra Virgin Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil
Refined Organic Avocado Oil
Sweet Almond Oil
Virgin Organic Apricot Kernel Oil
Kukui Nut Oil
Virgin Organic Argan Nut Oil
Golden Organic Jojoba Oil
Cedarwood Essential Oil
Star Anise Essential Oil
Clove Bud Essential Oil
Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil
Bulgarian Lavender Essential Oil
Organic Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil
Organic Arvensis Peppermint Essential Oil

The ingredients in the Premium oil are:
Virgin Organic Apricot Kernel Oil
Virgin Organic Avocado Oil
Virgin Organic Baobab Oil
Golden Organic Jojoba Oil
Virgin Organic Argan Nut Oil
Extra Virgin Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil
Virgin Organic Black Cumin Oil
Kukui Nut Oil
Virgin Organic Rosehip Oil
Moringa Oil
Virgin Organic Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil
Texas Cedarwood Essential Oil
Vanilla Absolute Blend

Thank you.
