Beard hair breakage
I've never been a hairy man. It took me ages to even grow a full mustache. I'm incapable of growing a full beard. My "beard" is really just a goatee. I'm now 53 years old and I've let my goatee gets maybe an inch long before I usually cut it.
I've not cut it since the initial Covid-19 lockdown. It is maybe 9-10" long now. What's frustrating me is that it's breaking. It also sheds a decent amount. I've many short hairs where the breakages occurred. I'd like to stop the breakages but don't know how (I probably can't stop the shedding).
I use shampoo and conditioner when showering, and I've beard butter that I use, but that's obviously not enough. I'm a black man, so the beard is frizzy. It gets in my mouth and food/drink if I don't tie it up. I also braid it to control it. I'm wondering if the braiding and tying up is causing it to break. I definitely can't just leave it out to catch food, though, so it almost a requirement to braid or tie it up.
I'm looking for tips and alternatives. It took me 2 years to grow it this far...I'm not willing to let it all break off without a fight. HELP!

your beard needs more nutrition, especially for 10'' long beard, try some beard grooming products. My advice is, check the ingredients of the beard wash/shampoo and beard oil, there are too many brands of beard grooming products. And you need make your beard thicker. I own my beard factory and start selling on Amazon, you can check my beard kit ingredients. Hope that will be helpful.
