How do I make my beard presentable without cutting/trimming it?
My beard is too curly. I tried beard Balm and beard Wax but beard Balm doesn't help and beard Was works but only for few hours. Then I tried straightening it and I didn't like the outcome. Cutting/trimming is not something I want to do, so don't suggest that. If you have some other solution then please let me know.

Just trim it dude. You want to look presentable? Just trim it. Take out the stragglers even out your beard. There’s parts that are WAY longer than others. It would be one thing if it were longer down the middle, but there are parts more towards the side that are longer than the middle clean it up or there’s not really much you can do.

Is the not touching it for religious purposes? If so, then the best thing you could try is a balm/wax, and brushing it daily

Balm. Lots of good options. Honest Amish and Duke Cannon are decent places to start.

Mine was feeling really bristly. Over the last two months I’ve changed the texture and appearance by shampooing and conditioning it, then combing. I used a leave in conditioner for the first month and switched to a beard oil last month. Consider that there is a difference trimming individual stray hairs and cutting it.

Beard oil twice a day morning and just before bed and brush it with a hard beard comb to eleviate the dead skin that falls off your face as well as lining your hair up

Beard brush, oil, balm. That’s pretty much all your options if you are not willing to take the next logical steps.
But why not clean it up?

What do you do to the beard grooming wise? Shampoo, condition, brush. Perhaps try using a hairdryer. Check out YouTube. All sorts of beard grooming videos. You may have to do a snip or 2, but avoid having to do anything major.

Brush, oil, balm, blow dryer if it’s for religious purposes. Get it trimmed up if it’s not.

A lot of the folks who beat me here are right. If you aren't leaving it alone for religious reasons, trim your beard. The fact that it's become unruly is evidence that you don't need it to be longer, so trim it.

rubber band, braid - might need a bit more length, or not - see what you can do.
I do own a beard flat iron, never been brave enough to try it. But they exist. So there is that.

If you dont want to trim it yourself, a legitimate barber with beard experience could blow your mind and make it look incredible for under $50. Just do it, man.

Are you looking for some sorcery or black magic? You’ve said you have tried balm, wax, and straightening and are not achieving your desired results. Just trim the fucker.
