One of the key points to maintaining a healthy and great-looking beard is to trim it regularly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While beard trimmers work well for a close-cut beard, you will need to use shears if you have considerable growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below is a six-step tutorial on how to trim your beard with scissors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try to have a style in mind before trimming. Do you prefer a more rounded-looking beard or one that is square? Perhaps you want one to be more tapered? The point here is not to trim blindly, instead have a plan in place before starting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For home trimming, you will need shears, a comb, and a razor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If possible, go to your barber for the first trim. Barbers are experts and can perfectly define the lines, particularly on the neck and cheek area. This makes it easier for you to clean up regularly between visits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: For best results, continuously trim your beard. Don’t strive for picture-perfect results in a single day – this often leads to mistakes or a very close trim.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before trimming your beard, take a quick shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A shower will help soften and relax facial hair making it longer and easier to cut. We recommend using a natural beard wash when cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pat dry once finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: Wet facial hair will appear longer. Keep this in mind when trimming. Cutting too aggressively may lead to shorter-looking results.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Begin by combing your beard outwards under the jawline. Once you can get smooth, tangle-free passes with your comb, begin making passes in a downward motion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The goal here is to untangle your beard and make it easier to trim.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 1: Shower Before Trimming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
