Coconut Oil For Beard Growth: Best Natural Homemade Coconut Beard Oil Recipe

A reader of this blog was asking me about tips for growing his beard in the comments section and one of the best tips for beard growth is using a coconut oil based beard oil. Beard oil, just like a good hair oil has multiple benefits if applied regularly. Though plenty of beard oil is available online, in my opinion homemade beard oils are the best. Beard oil made with pure unrefined oils like coconut oil and hair growth promoting essential oils will greatly help stimulate beard growth.

Beard Oil Benefits:

Beard oil prevents skin drying which is usually the case for many.
If the beard is long, applying beard oil prevents tangling
Beard oil prevents infections if used regularly.
Beard oil promotes faster hair growth.
Applying beard oil also makes it look neat and presentable.

Since beard oil has all these benefits, it is a good idea to use it if you are planning to grow a beard. We don’t get beard oil commonly in the shops in India but you can easily order beard oil online. If buying, always chose the one that nourishes and conditions well. But store bought beard oil is not cheap and you have to try a few to really pinpoint the product you like.

Coconut Oil For Beard Growth:

Instead I would suggest making your own beard oil, it is easy and fun and the best part is you can mix in your own favorite scents and customize it to your liking. First step that we have to do while making beard oil is choosing the base oil, we have a quite a few choices.

But no matter what oil you chose always remember to chose unrefined pure oils. Some good choices are jojoba oil, coconut oil, sweet almond oil and grape seed oil, I always prefer coconut oil. Coconut oil promotes beard growth and prevents drying but try using only unrefined coconut oil.

Coconut oil also prevents infections and is very easy to apply in the beard. I like to mix coconut oil with sweet almond oil as it is also a great conditioner. I also like to add vitamin e oil as it acts as a natural preservative. The fun part is mixing the essential oils with the carrier oil, have fun formulating your own recipes.

I like rosemary, lavender and peppermint essential oils combination as it smells really masculine. They complement each other well and makes the beard oil smell really really good. In addition to smelling good, rosemary essential oil has anti bacterial properties and it prevents infections.

Lavender essential oil is very very soothing and peppermint essential oil promotes hair growth. However I would suggest making only a small batch of beard oil so the fragrance remains fresh. These also make great gifts, if your husband loves growing beard gift it to him, I am sure he will thank you for it….:)
