5 Beard Myths You Need to Stop Believing
When it comes to beard care, myths spread faster than facts. From “miracle fixes” to outdated advice, many men follow routines that actually work against their beard goals. At Copper Johns, we believe in cutting through the noise and giving you real answers backed by experience and science.
Here are 5 of the most common beard myths—and the truth behind them.
____________________________________________
Myth #1: Shaving Makes Your Beard Grow Thicker and Faster
This is the myth that refuses to die. People swear that shaving forces your beard to grow in fuller.
The Truth: Shaving only cuts hair at the surface—it has no effect on your follicles beneath the skin. The “thicker look” you see is just blunt stubble regrowth. Your genetics, hormones, and overall health determine beard growth, not your razor.
👉 Want a fuller look? Focus on nourishing your follicles with beard oil packed with Ionic Inland Sea Minerals. That’s where real growth strength begins.

Myth #2: Beard Oil is Just for Beard Hair
Many men think beard oil is simply a conditioner to make their beard softer or smell better.
The Truth: Beard oil’s primary job is to hydrate and protect the skin underneath your beard. If that skin is neglected, you’ll deal with dryness, dandruff, irritation, and weaker growth. A healthy foundation = a healthier beard.
👉 Copper Johns Beard Oil goes beyond scent—it delivers nutrients directly to the skin and hair roots, helping your beard grow stronger and stay itch-free.

Myth #3: Beards Make You Hotter in the Summer
A lot of guys believe that having a beard makes them sweat more and feel hotter when temperatures rise.
The Truth: Surprisingly, your beard can actually help regulate temperature. Beards block direct sunlight, reducing UV exposure, and even create a natural cooling effect by wicking sweat away from the skin. In the winter, they do the opposite—providing insulation.
👉 Instead of shaving for summer, keep your beard hydrated with beard oil and beard butter so it stays light, soft, and comfortable in any season.

Myth #4: Beard Growth Oils Can Create New Follicles
With so many products on the market claiming to “fill in patches overnight,” it’s no wonder this myth persists.
The Truth: No product can create new follicles where they don’t already exist. What quality oils and serums can do is strengthen your current follicles, reduce split ends, and improve circulation for healthier, more consistent growth.
👉 Copper Johns Revitalizing Hair Serum is built for exactly this—supporting follicle health so your beard reaches its fullest potential naturally.

Myth #5: Beards Don’t Need Conditioning
Some men think conditioning is only for the hair on your head and that beards don’t need the same treatment.
The Truth: Your beard hair is actually coarser and drier than scalp hair, which means it needs even more moisture and care. Without conditioning, beards can become brittle, wiry, and prone to split ends.
👉 Using a beard-specific conditioner—like Copper Johns Sweet Water Beard Conditioner—keeps your beard soft, manageable, and healthy. Barbers love it for taming wild, unruly beards and giving them a clean, polished look.
