Beard Campaigners hot weather updated guidelines
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has issued guidelines for the hirsute as much of Britain continues with a period of hot weather.
The Met Office has issued a heatwave warning valid to Sunday
Steps to protecting the Beard in warm weather
1: If the beard is above six inches in length significant hot weather trimming may be in order
2: If the beard starts to overheat immersing it in a chiller cabinet of the nearest supermarket will provide an instant remedy. Alternatively a hand cranked fan may be used.
3: During warmer weather it is important to fully air the follicles by exercising the beard out of doors
4: If the beard starts to dry out in the heat and follicles become brittle regular immersion in a glass of craft beer or lager will moisturise and nourish the beard
Do not use beard oils. In heat these may make the beard a sticky mess
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, as well as hot temperatures the UV index will be high. There is an additional danger to the follicles here. Shielding the beard with a mask or bandana may be prudent.
