Brock O’Hurn Reveals How He Maintains His Famous Beard

No-Shave November has arrived. Started in 2009 by a group of eight Chicago siblings who lost their father to colon cancer, the month-long initiative encourages men all over the world to grow out their facial hair, then donate the money saved from not shaving or visiting their barber to a cancer foundation of choice.

Though Instagram star and actor Brock O’Hurn might be most famous for his lustrous, untamed locks, his equally thick beard is certainly no slouch, either. If anything, O’Hurn loves wearing a beard as much as the hair on his head—he appreciates “the way that it adds character” and has sported “various lengths for about three years”—and is particularly proud to let his run wild for No-Shave November.

Along with growing out his beard for a worthy cause, O’Hurn is looking forward to the cooler, kinder temps of the fall months. “I love that I can go for a run without sweating bullets right out the gate, or go camping and truly enjoy the camp fire,” he says. In addition to plotting a getaway to Europe in the upcoming months—“I love to experience new cultures and meet new people, so I’m always on the lookout for those opportunities”—he’s also planning on visiting The Yellowstone Club and Jackson Hole for some top-notch snowboarding.

With colder-weather adventures approaching, though, O’Hurn stresses the importance of proper facial-hair grooming. “Not shaving doesn't mean I don't wash and maintain my beard with the proper treatments to keep my beard healthy and moisturized,” he explains. “Without the help of quality products, it just doesn’t grow or lay correctly.”

To keep his beard soft and healthy, O’Hurn depends on Cremo’s Beard Cream, Beard Balm, and Beard Oil. Why? “It’s as plain and simple as they just work,” he says. “You can’t beat something that not only has an incredible reputation, but also truly does everything your beard needs to be its best. No matter the length of my beard, these products keep my beard from itching, they keep it soft, and they help keep it styled. What more can you ask for?”
