How To Trim A Beard Like A Pro
By Tom Darden on October 16, 2009
Trimming your beard the basics. You must make sure that the hairs of your beard are at their maximum height and facing in the same direction. Comb the hair in the direction that it grows. Decide on the final look of your beard before you start trimming.Shave as you normally do, including the exposed parts of cheeks and neck. The shaving cream must be washed out completely and your beard should be slightly wet. Adjust the hair length selector of your trimmer to the amount of hair you want to cut. Till the moment that you are used to trimming your beard with a trimmer it’s better use a longer hair setting so you don’t trim off too much.
Trimming the length of your beard. The trimmer must be used with the guard attachment on. Hold the trimmer in a way that the front of the cutting unit is facing away from you. Start using the beard trimmer on your chin following the line of your jawbone. Work you way up to your ear and upper beard. Using the guard attachment of the trimmer you can follow the contours of your face. You may trim either against or with the direction of beard growth, whichever you prefer.
Finding your beard line. Take off the trimmer guard attachment and keep the trimmer vertically with trimmer cutting blades facing you. Now trim the edge of your beard. The cutting blades should touch your skin lightly. Keep moving the trimmer along the edge of your beard till you reach the desired location.
The finishing touch trimming your beard. When the trimmer guard attachment is still attached to the trimmer remove this first. Use a small comb or the styling comb that came with the trimmer to hold your beard hairs in position. This gives the best control when using the trimmer. With the cutting unit facing away you hold the trimmer horizontally and move the trimmer along the comb.
Be trendy with the ‘Stubble Look’. Your trimmer guard attachment has different postions. Set it to 1(1.5 mm) or 2 (2.5 mm) to get the desired result. Hold the trimmer horizontally with the cutting unit looking either up or down. Move the trimmer up or down, either with the direction of hair growth or against it. Which way, is up to your preference.. Go through the previous two steps again, with the trimmer guard attachment removed, to create an even better looking “stubble look”. Avoid a blotchy look, take care that you don’t trim awat too much hair.
Beard trimming final tips. A beard trimmer is more practical for trimming than scissors. You can cut hair at different lengths thanks to the adjustable trimmer settings. Adjust your beard trimmer to a longer hair length if you are new to using one – you don’t want to cut too much at first. Wet hair is longer than dry hair, so trim a little at a time.
