Having a beard can be annoying at times, simply because you have to keep it trimmed. The best way to trim is with a beard trimmer of course, but there are a few steps you need to follow in order to properly trim a beard. If you don’t do it right, you could end up having a beard that is patchy, long in some places, bare in others. A well-trimmed beard looks good, and here is how you can properly trim a beard.
First, you need to decide how long you want your beard to be. If you want just a 5 o’clock shadow, then you can remove the guard of your trimmer and shave from the ear down. This will give you a nice shadow for your beard.
One thing people forget to do when dealing with a beard is they don’t clean the chin strap. The chin strap is the area under your chin, along the neck, where the beard can grow. It can look very shaggy and unkempt to allow that to grow. Your best course of action is to make sure you shave that right down. This often takes daily maintenance to do so but your beard will look better for it.
If you have a longer beard, it is very important that you keep the entire beard even. To do this properly, you need to select the right setting for your beard so that you can trim it properly, at the same length all the way around. If you don’t keep the length the same all the way around, your beard will look uneven. You don’t want this to happen. Determine the length you want and shave your beard the same way, at that length, all the way around.
If you have a beard, you are probably going to want to wash and shampoo it. Many forget to do this because they think the beard isn’t something you shampoo. If you don’t, your beard will become course and scratchy, and anyone kissing you will tire of constantly getting poked by your sharp beard. Your beard is also easier to shave if you shampoo and condition on a regular basis. The beard will also be softer as well.
As you shave, don’t use quick and sudden movements. You should use long, smooth strokes, with the trimmer at a consistent angle against your skin. This will keep the beard even, without there being any patches, or small strips, that you didn’t happen to shave.
You should make sure you start at the edge of your beard, below your ear, and then work your way across the face. Don’t start in the middle because again, this can cause you to have a beard that doesn’t look quite as good. You don’t start mowing the lawn in the middle of the yard, and you shouldn’t trim a beard that same way.
Lastly, you can clean up your neckline with a razor that you can buy at the store. The beard trimmer is very good for getting right down, but the razor allows you to even things out on your face, and on your neck. Consider it to be the weed-whacker of your beard maintenance arsenal.
Having a beard is wonderful and it can make you look great, but you need to make sure you take proper care of it so that it doesn’t get out of control. All it can take is one week for your beard to get too large, to shaggy and too gross for people to think it is attractive.
