Clean Your Beard Up

Gentlemen, it is time to clean your beard up for the holidays! There are reasons why your face maintenance might be falling behind. You could be growing your beard and mustache out for Movember solidarity. Also, you could have been in the thralls of hunting season. Who has time to groom when you are camping out in the wilderness? But now it’s time to manscape! But where to start?

Let’s start from the top! 

Facial Hair or No Facial Hair

First of all, you need to decide if you want to keep your facial hair or not. There are many benefits to having some facial hair. For those with a chronic baby face, a beard came you look older. In addition, it provides a layer of UV protection and warmth during the colder months. However, the most important part is that it looks good. If you take care of it, that is. While beards and mustaches can be excellent conversation starters, you need to manscape to keep yourself presentable.

Clean Up Your Face

So, you have decided to keep your facial hair? Great! Now it’s time for the cleanup! However, how do you want to clean up? Well, here are a few options:

    on your head, it is better when it’s clean and without the oils when doing a trim. Try not to use a drying shampoo and use a clean towel to dry your beard.

  2. Comb it out – Depending on your beard type it may be easier to get an accurate trim by combing your beard first.
  3. Get Prepared to Trim that Beard – Be prepared with your; towel (we know your girlfriend can’t stand those beard trimmings all over!), comb, scissors, clippers, mirror and styling products, if you have them. Check out our Grooming Products for Beards!
  4. Trim your Beard using Clippers – Make sure to use the appropriate size guard for the amount you would like to trim off. If your not sure, use the bigger guard first to make sure you do not trim too much off for your own liking.
  5. Trim your Beard using Scissors – You should probably let us do this, it takes skill in shaping and thinning the beard with scissors. But if you insist, make sure you are using a sharp pair of scissors made to cut hair like shears for barbers. Use a comb to guide you.
  6. Clean up your mess! – Remember that towel, thankful now aren’t you? You can also use newspaper on the floor. Be careful washing your clippings down the sink. It is best to throw them away so they don’t clog your sink.

Get It Done Right!

We use clippers and scissors at our shops depending on your beard style and what your preference is.  So, if these steps don’t seem like something you want to do, or you try it and it doesn’t turn out how you want, as always we are here for your male maintenance!
