Your beard is a part of your identity. It's what sets you apart from the clean-shaven men out there. But sometimes, you just need to shave it off or style it to suit your preference. Whether it's for a job interview, an important meeting, or a first date, shaving your beard can be the right move.
There are a few different beard-shaving styles to choose from. Here are a few of the most popular ones.
The Full Beard
This is the most common beard style. It's simple and easy to maintain. All you need to do is let your beard grow out for a few weeks and then trim it down to the desired length. But you have to make sure you take the time to let it grow out fully. It can take weeks or even months to achieve the desired look. And once you have it, you'll need to commit to regular beard maintenance.
Trimming a full beard can be done with scissors or an electric trimmer. If you're using an electric trimmer, start by setting it to the longest setting. This will help prevent you from accidentally trimming too much beard off. Once you've trimmed down the length, you can then start shaping it. Use a beard comb to help you get the desired shape.
If you're using scissors, start trimming any stray hairs outside your beard line. Then, comb your beard down and trim off any split ends. Once you've done that, you can start shaping your beard with the scissors. Start from the bottom and work your way up.
While this might seem like an easy thing to do, you're better off having a professional do it for you. Beard shaping can be tricky, and it's easy to make a mistake you'll regret later.
Once you've achieved the desired beard length and shape, it's important to maintain it. That means regular trims and washes. Use a beard shampoo or soap to keep your beard clean. And make sure to use beard oil to keep your beard soft and healthy.
The Goatee
The goatee is a beard style that's been around for centuries. It's named after its resemblance to a goat's beard. And it's one of the most popular beard styles for men. This style is perfect for those who want to keep their beard but don't want a full beard.
To trim a goatee, start by shaving the hair on your cheeks down to the beard line. Then, use an electric trimmer or scissors to shape your beard into an oval shape. The key to this style is symmetry, so make sure both sides are even. Once you've achieved the desired shape, use a beard comb to keep it in place. And don't forget to use beard oil to keep your beard soft and healthy.
If you want to take it one step further, you can add a goatee beard mustache. This will give you a more sophisticated look. To do this, simply grow out your mustache and connect it to your goatee. Use a beard comb to keep it in place and trim it regularly to maintain the desired shape.
