Conditioner is formulated for head hair, which is often quite different from facial hair. I used to just use shampoo and conditioner in my beard, but over the years, I started buying a proper beard wash and using oils or balms as a leave-in conditioner.

In my opinion, the main advantage to the oils is they stay on the hair, keeping it hydrated, keeping the facial skin hydrated (reduces or eliminats itch), and significantly reduces tangles, making it easier to maintain and style.

There are leave in conditioners out there too. I'm actually using a shampoo/conditioner that purports to be for beard hair, but I can't say I've noticed a giant difference between this and any other shampoo/conditioner for my beard. I don't know, it just seems like every product with "beard" in it just suddenly costs twice as much and none of them have exactly blown me away with the difference. It feels like the "pink tax" except instead of pink it's sandalwood scent and some "manly" name.

You shampoo your beard? I always just wash it with facial wash when I wash my face. Is there a problem with doing that?

Just going to be a bit harsher on the beard/face stripping out the natural oils.
