Organic Beard Balm - 12-Hour Hold for Styling, Enhances Thicker Beard Appearance, Moisturizes & Relieves Itch, Reduces Flaking, Suitable for All Hair Types - 2.1 oz

Honestly I'd call it beard butter instead of balm, Balm is a word that a lot of people have different ideas about, a lot of stuff called "balm" is harder at room temp, requiring me to scrape it with my fingernail, like wax. This is "spreadable" so if you're thinking butter it's harder to disagree.But I keep coming back to this stuff because it spreads well and smells wonderful. Plus the scent doesn't just go away in 5 minutes. I can bring my beard back up to my nose and breathe deep for a refresh.

I wasn't expecting too much from this, and it's my 6th or 7th beard balm I've tried in the last year or so. My beard is curly/wavy and typically very frizzy. This balm is pretty hard, reminds my of a deodorant bar (texture wise) but it smooths out nicey when rubbed between the palms, and gives a great hold to my beard. It doesn't feel stiff like a beard wax, but makes my beard soft and manageable. Even if my beard does start to poof up I can usually just smooth it down with my hands and it stays in place. If I apply it at 6am I usually could use more by 4-5pm. I should mention that I need to use a glob about 3x the size of a single pea (as recommended above), but even the smaller size seems like it will last a well and I'm happy with the value. It doesn't seem oily and I didn't really notice any increase in my beard's shininess as advertised, but i'm ok with that. The smell is a little strong, my wife doesn't care for it much, and the best way I can describe it is it smells like head and shoulders shampoo, maybe slightly sweeter, but the scent lasts a while and took me a couple days to get used to. I've had strong smelling balms before that after 10 minutes you couldn't notice it, but this I still notice an hour or two later. After that, it does fade but you can still smell it if you try. It feels like it does a good job moisturizing, I haven't noticed any flakes. If you're looking for something that gives a good amount of hold without being stiff, makes your beard feel healthy and soft, and don't mind a semi-strong, sweet smell give this one a try. You might be pleasantly surprised as I was.

Good product. Very nice smell and good taming qualities. I'm not sure what everyone else does, but I dry my beard right after my shower and then apply Prophet. I then comb through it and hit it very quickly with the hair dryer again on low and low hear, while combing through it. It does a fantastic job. This is my 4th beard balm I have used and probably my favorite as far as the entire package.Over all rating- 8/10Smell- 9/10Very pleasant smell and not too overpowering. Would be a 10/10 if the smell lasted longer. The hold is still there early afternoon (if applied in the morning) but the smell is gone.hold/look- 8/10There is another review that feels the same way I do. It tames well overall, but not some of the more wild hairs. I don't expect/want 100 percent tame as I feel beards are supposed to look like hair, not plastic or carpet. With that being said, I have had one other balm that left no hairs sticking straight up/out, and still allowed a well groomed, yet rugged look. I will say that other balm appear to "weaken" throughout the day. As the day progresses this balm holds better longer, that the other(s).Quantity- 8/10Wish you could buy a little more. This is the only size ive seen.Price 8/10Competitive price but I wouldn't go to my friends and say "Check out this deal!" I would let them know it is worth the price since I enjoy the product, but I wouldn't say it's such a great price deal that I just cant go anywhere else. Again, the product is probably the best I have every used, but my second favorite was only $1.50 more but it was .5oz more product.Skin-10/10This balm is soothing on my skin, too. My beard is about 4 inches right now and there are times it can be a bit itchy...but not with this product. First thing I noticed, outside of the pleasant smell, I didn't itch.Recommend product? Absolutely

Look, I haven't tried every beard care product out there, but I have tried several. Of the 5-7 or so balms, waxes, oils that I have experimented with, Prophet and Tools balm is, by far, the best. Honestly, I don't know why this is not how everybody makes their balm. I like to have a relatively straight beard, and so I blow dry my beard after showering and shampooing it everyday before I get ready for work. The problem with frequent blow-drying, is that it will dry out your beard and make it brittle and gross. Enter Prophet and Tools. Each morning after blow-drying and combing my beard, I get out the Prophet and Tools, scrape a bit out of the jar, rub it in my hands, and massage it into my beard. Then as I comb my beard again things go exactly into place, right where I want them. My beard feels softer and it looks great. The only downside is that if you use too much, the beard will feel a little bit oily or greasy throughout the day. This is easy to avoid if you are careful with how much you use, but it is definitely a possibility. However, even when it has been a big greasy, I have never noticed any stains on my shirts or anything like that. I find the smell to be almost unnoticeable, which is what I like. That way I can still use a scented aftershave or cologne of my preference without it interfering with a heavily scented balm. I would definitely recommend this product to anybody with a beard they are trying to tame or keep healthy.
