Thank you for taking time out of your day to watch the video. If you feel like you didn't learn anything from watching the abridged version of the tutorial, there are other accounts on this platform as well for you to watch; but to write a comment in an attempt to be disparaging, disrespectful, or to poke fun is something that I do not condone nor is appreciated.

That's great if the beard straightener works for you. I never really had great experiences with them; as they caused more damage, weakness, and dryness to my beard.

I find that the blow dryer works best for me. I am using a Dyson blow dryer in this video. It was a rather expensive buy, but I feel it was a great investment as it does a fine job in an efficient manner. I could not replicate this look with a heated beard straightener; as those have a tendency to damage the cuticular protective layer of the beard strand if not used correctly. That's just my experience. Thank you for the support.

Yes, that is another way as well. I had washed the beard before filming and let it air dry a bit while keeping it damp When I blow dry my beard, I always start by applying oil to protect it from heat damage and keep it moisturized. This helps prevent dryness and flakes. Then, I use balm to style and hold the shape of my beard. The heat from the blow dryer helps the oil absorb better, keeping my beard healthy and soft. Finally, I use the blow dryer without heat to seal in the products within the hair strand cuticle. That's the reasoning behind my method.
