So how do you get pesky flyaways to lay down in between trims? Use a blow dryer, brush and a balm. Apply the balm to the beard, then use the blow dryer and brush to direct the beard hair in the direction you want it to lay. Try Super-Dry from Victory Barber & Brand—it's matte, so it won't make your beard look shiny.
You can use a beard straightener or a blow dryer and comb to achieve a straighter beard. Make sure to always coat your beard hairs with beard oil before applying medium to low heat with a constant motion to prevent heat damage. Finish your styling with beard balm and a beard brush for maximum hold all day long.
Use Beard Oil: Applying beard oil can help soften the hair and make it more pliable. This can encourage the hair to lay down rather than sticking out. Beard Balm or Wax: These products can provide some hold and help shape your beard. They can also help tame unruly hairs.
Moisturize with conditioner in the shower and use a beard balm or oil immediately after. Does it appear less curly? If so, then you've been stripping moisture from your beard hair, which is inducing curls. Else, blow drying will work, but may cause damage to your beard hair on high heat settings, so use low heat!
Using a blow dryer is in my opinion the best way to to straighten your curly beard, and it only takes an additional few minutes. I personally don't use a blow dryer as the beard products alone straighten out my beard enough for the look I prefer, but if you're looking for an even straighter look, give it a try!
Varying Follicle Composition
Most guys have varying hair follicle shapes on their body. That's why the hair on your head could be curly while your beard is straight. Different ethnicities contend with varying beard types as well.
Take your mustache comb and start at the top of your mustache, brushing in a downward motion toward your upper lip. Work on one side before switching to the other. After you've flattened all hairs down towards your lip, start at the center of your mustache underneath your nose and work your way out towards one side.
For a softer beard, it is vital to keep it well maintained. Wash and condition the beard properly and be sure to brush regularly. Keep trimming equipment in excellent condition and tackle split ends often. For a finishing touch, use beard oil to protect and hydrate.
Two of the reasons your beard might grow a little bit patchier than somebody else's are genetic and hormonal differences between guys. Your grooming habits may also not give your beard the best chances of looking good.
Use Straightening Iron
If your beard is long enough to use a straightening tool, you can go for it. First, brush your hair, and then use the tool. However, heating tools soak up the moisture from your hair and make it dry. Hence, use beard oil after you finish straightening.

Some men inherit the ability to grow a thick, luxuriant beard and some men inherit long, scraggly, chin hairs. Some men inherit the ability to have their best possible beard at an early age and some men have to wait until age 30. As with all bodily issues, nutrition and overall health also affect beard growth.
Start With Damp Hair: A slightly damp beard responds better to heat styling. Set the Dryer: Use a medium heat setting. Again, high heat can damage your hair. Pull and Heat: Use the comb to gently pull your beard straight while directing the blow dryer's heat along the hair shaft.
What's the best way to tame a curly beard? Keeping your beard moisturised with beard oils and balms will help reduce frizz and make styling it easier. Regularly brushing or combing your curly beard will also help tame wiry curls and improve the overall appearance of your beard.
Train Your Beard
Brush your beard daily using a boar bristle brush or a wooden comb, preferably with wider teeth. This will help distribute natural oils, untangle knots, and encourage the beard hairs to lie flat.
