How to soften facial hair?

I recently decided to grow a goatee and it looks great, but since facial hair is very prickly and coarse my boyfriend complains its uncomfortable when kissing. I was wondering if there are any products that can soften facial hair? I get lots of compliments on it now it%26#039;d be a shame to have to be clean shaven again. Thanks

How to soften facial hair?
Answer:





Hair is covered with one or more protective outer layers called the cuticle. The more cuticle layers there are, the coarser the hair feels. Hair on your head is covered with several layers of cuticle, whereas the hair on your arms generally has few cuticle layers and the hair on your face generally has many more. (This can also vary with race and age.) That鈥檚 one reason facial hair often feels more wiry and coarse than head hair. Conditioner is designed to soften the cuticle layers, so try using it on your beard. Some guys find that applying coconut oil -- an ingredient in shaving cream that softens whiskers -- also helps.


As a general rule, shorter whiskers often feel stiffer than longer whiskers -- just like an inch-long piece of wire feels stiffer than a foot-long piece of the same wire. Trimming is another factor. Trimming leaves whiskers with blunt, sharp ends. Those ends start to round off after a few days. But if you trim frequently to keep your beard short, your whiskers spend more of their time in the blunt-and-sharp phase -- that may be what your sweetie is feeling.





Wearing somewhat longer whiskers and not trimming so often would give the blunt ends time to become rounded between trims. Longer whiskers are also more flexible and thus feel softer








Hope this helps
