There was a time when growing a proper beard required only one thing – the face’s owner stopped shaving. Times have certainly evolved and beard maintenance now reflects on one’s personality. First lets address this issue of not cutting or trimming the beard. I know its the “IN” thing now and all guys want to look “attractive” for the ladies; but truth is, not all ladies love unkept beard or worse some ladies don’t like beard at all. I have some great tips to creating and sustaining a great looking beard.

We love Common because he has mastered this particular look.

Here’s everything you need to know about grooming and how you can also achieve the look.

  • The square shape. It’s an inherently masculine shape that gives guys an edge.
  • If you have an oblong or oval face shape, trim your hairs closer on the underside of your chin, but leave a bit of length on your cheeks. Round face? Create length by leaving more hair on your chin and less on your cheeks.
  • Using a trimmer with a No. 1 guard, taper the hair on your neck starting just above your Adam’s apple.
  • Trim near the top of your cheeks, if necessary, creating a line parallel to your jaw line.
  • Lastly, comb down your mustache and trim hairs that fall below your lip line using scissors or a trimmer.

Tips and Tricks:

  • Shampoo and condition your beard every day, just like your hair.
  • Once a week, or as needed, use a trimmer with a long guard to get rid of stray hairs. Then trim your neckline with a small guard starting at your Adam’s apple.
  • If necessary, use a razor on your neck between your collarbone and your Adam’s apple, being mindful of which way the hair is growing.
  • Taper, or fade, your neckline for a more natural look and less maintenance in the future.
  • Use a beard oil daily to soften your hairs and add a scent, if desired.
  • Comb your beard when in the shower to exfoliate the skin beneath your facial hair and to straighten your hairs for easier trimming.
