How long could you go without shaving? A couple of days? A full week? A whole month? Over the next 30 days, guys are putting down their razors and getting seriously hairy — and it’s all for a great cause. No-Shave November is an annual campaign, which raises awareness about cancer. The premise is simple: You don’t shave for the whole month of November. Are you up for the challenge? Here are four tips for a successful No-Shave November.
- Use a Beard Moisturizer
Men, here’s the thing: Hair doesn’t always grow the way you want it to, especially on your face. Beards can get dry. They can get itchy. They can make your skin red and irritated. This is why you should use a beard moisturizer throughout November — it will keep your face fuzz feeling awesome. Look for products that contain shea butter, which seals in moisture.
- Choose a Beard Style That Suits You
Sorry to break it to you but growing a little bit of stubble won’t make you look like George Clooney in “Ocean’s Eleven.” You need to choose a style that suits the shape of your face. Want to rock a mustache? A goatee? A caveman beard? Ask your friends and family for some advice first.
- Trim Your Beard Every Week
No, your beard won’t grow faster if you trim it every week, but proper maintenance will keep it from looking scruffy. Styling your beard every seven days or so will maintain its shape. Here’s a pro tip: Use scissors instead of clippers.
- Raise Funds for a Good Cause
No-Shave November isn’t just about the laughs it’s all about raising money for a good cause. You can set up your own fundraising page here and ask your friends and family to donate to various cancer charities.
Are you ready for No-Shave November? Don’t forget to use a moisturizer, choose a beard style that suits you, trim your beard every week, and raise money for a good cause. The question is: Will you shave after the 30-day period or keep your new style?
