Can this be used for my beard?

Yes, if you want your beard relaxed (straight).

How many times can you relax your hair with this? How do you keep it from going bad...how long does it last without going old?

To Keep It From Going Bad, You Can Put It In The Refrigerator As I Do Mines.... Since My Relax Regimen Is Every 8 to 9 weeks I've had mine since the beginning of January/2014, it's time for me to relax my hair again & its still good. From the looks of my container I'll be good for another year, so I'll probably order another one at the end of December/2015 or The Beginning Of January/2016. I Hope This Helps.

Amazing!!!

My hair stylist recommended this brand. After using it I immediately saw the difference. My hair was shiny and full of body. Usually my hair is limp right after a relaxer. It’s been one week now and after many workouts I’m still able to wear my hair down.
