My beard remains on this face because of this guy. Every time I think of bailing I end up for whatever reason watching a multitude of beard baron videos. Thanks man, much appreciated.
I am too chicken shit to try this, even though I really should trim the sides a bit. Gah, I'll probably experiment a bit tonight. Wish me luck beard brothers.
The Beard Baron I did this the other night, and I think it turned out well. Took your advice and started off with a number 4 guard and just went from there. Think it turned out okay. I'm pleased with it so no problems. Here's a crappy picture of what it looks like (bad light in my living room) - imgur.com/XHUV9Jc
Thanks for this video! I had been a little frustrated with the "fluffiness" of the sides of my beard, but then I came across this video. I did the fade this morning as you instructed and it went very well and looks great. Thanks again!
Fantastic Style Points! I've just grown my beard out for the past 5.5 months & did my first trim of the side burn area & the touch up to shape my beard long & sleek! I'm 52 and this is the 2nd time to grow one since I was 19 (a full one back then too). Looking forward to the Beard Barons products coming soon! I will have my pic up soon to share.
Woah! I looked away from the computer and I just started to hear Ross Geller talking! btw you helped me out with something I was struggling everytime! Thank you!
I've been completely afraid of the self fade lol. I'm even more afraid of a barber coming at my progressive beard with clips or scissors. My beard has the same curly sideburns issues too. Watched your video again and took the plunge. Slight fade to my shaved head and I really feel 100% better. Thanks again, I enjoy the videos
I have to say man, your vids are the BEST! -You have really helped me as I am growing my beard here in Vietnam! I'm having lots of fun because 99% of Vietnamese men cannot grow any facial hair. So, as my beard gets fuller and longer (3 months) the more attention I get. Beards in Asian culture are mythical and magical. Thanks for all your tips and I will be watching for more! BTW, I'm with you on the "fade" look.
So today I bought hair cutting scissors, and trimmed the bottom of my beard. And when I was doing so, I kept hearing your voice: "Just crumbs, only take crumbs." It came out great, didn't go shorter, just neatened it up a bit. Also the angle that I held the scissors was definitely useful information. Every time I see you have a new video, I hope for that mustache one. But always good info!
Thanks for this! I was getting bugged about my beard at work and as soon as I started fading my beard (and using a few tricks from your other videos) I've successfully gotten the Mgmt. off my duff for my fluff!
Very helpful video! I have the same problem with the curls on the sides, so I have to clean them up every couple weeks. I only have a two week beard at the moment but your videos make me want to grow it again. You have a great beard, brother!
This video is perfect!! Exactly what I was looking for. I've had the same issue with the sideburns for years and I often cut my own hair so I am excited to try this out.
can i just say your beard clips are amazing, i have a beard 4 months old now and im loving it :) going to use your tips whilst it gets longer, your beard is what im trying to get to :) congratulations on the channel
I have this very issue with sideburns. So glad I stumbled upon your videos, they're a wealth of bearding information! Mine will be looking this sharp (sadly not as long) in no time. Thanks, Mr. Baron :)
Johnny: Thank you for the inspiration. I have had a full beard since I was 14 or 15. Freshman football it was sticking out beyond the faceguards. Anyway it has always been a freakizoid thing or I would cut it down close in later years. Now, mostly gray and winter, I decided to try to let it grow and maintain it. I cleaned up around the lower neck and the upper face. I am letting the stach grow too because I always used to trim that at the lip and the chin hair with the same size guard. I realized the chin hair sticks straight out, I realized after 40 years that some areas need to grow out while others need to be trimmed. I am growing and keeping it down with oil. For now... Went to barber today and he tried to convince me to cut it in some places. I told him to stick with the hair on my head.
Dear BeardBaron: I have just tried this, and it's amazing how much it changed my beard shape and my overall face contour. Thank you very much for this tip! Greetings from Argentina :)
I would have never thought in a million years to comb up to separate the hair I want to remove from the rest on my sideburns. Great pointers here, and great video.
love the video man keep em' coming :) i'm going to get a haircut this week,should i ask the barber to fade my beard with my hair lane?,or just go solo at home on it?
Hey Fallenout, glad you liked it :) As for the barber it all comes down to how much do you trust your barber fading vs how much do you trust yourself fading.
This video really helped me. I hate when my sideburns get longer. All straggly and no control. And it makes for a great transition between my shorter hair and longer beard. THANKS
awesome tutorial. I shave my head and this part really annoys me only 6 to 8 weeks into my way to a glorious beard. Thanks for the tip mam feel so much better than sticking a load of wax on it 👍
What an awesome beard! I'm always sad that I can't grow something like this, i'm just 20. At which age did you become able to grow this thick full beard?
schleykov Well, I'm saying that I can't because i'm aware of my potential. It's been like a year since the last time I clean shaved my face, since then i've been using several beard styles, but I still have patchy spots that won't fill in and some weak areas. So i'm not able to grow the whole beard, as it looks kinda bad. My hope is thinking that i'm still young and it will develop haha it sucks to see 16 yo guys with way greater beard than mine.
I feel so bad. I honestly watched most of this video and I couldn't get over the fact that you have a magnificent beard good sir. Just for that reason I've subscribed. That and you're providing me some insight:D can't wait to see more.
I'm new to your channel, but thanks for the tips! My sideburn problems are exactly what you described and I was hesitant to fix it because I didn't know where to begin, but know my beard looks much more put together and it compliments my face way better. Definitely subscribing, keep up the good work!
+Sam Whillance I was thinking exactly the same thing! Didn't even have to SCROLL through the comments to find someone else who thinks the same, Love it!
This is the second time I've referenced this video Johnny, and I'd just like to say thank you again! Really happy to see this video has over 500k views now. Easily deserved.
I don't shave my head completely bald, but this video is gunna come in very handy for me whereas I maintain a pretty short buzz-cut along with a 3-4 month length beard. Thank you so much for the tips!
Hello, another great informative n practical video, I've defo been trimming too low! But I shave my head so am still trying to get the look/style right? Do you have any tips on getting the beard style & balance right when u r stylin a shaved head? I know its a lot down to personal style & look but would appreciate your thoughts? Thanks & Regards MJS
Hey MJ, in your case it's going to be more of a trial and error thing of seeing what works. While I don't shave my head it took me a couple of years of trying different things out to get to a style that I like.
Hey dude, great video! I'm all for the fade look being as tho my beard get frizzy and wavy on the sides, I've done the fade before but this did help because I used barber sheers but I think the clippers you use, is better... You have a great beard !
I personally believe that it's one spot of a man's beard that, if kept untidy, will spoil the beard's shape and other people will say that he just let it grew because he just doesn't like shaving...
thanks for the video The Beard Baron because I shave my head, the sides of my beard looked huge against my head, this one video made a massive difference thank you! also one side of my beard grows kinda wavy, any tips as to help it grow straight?
Richie Braz Glad the video helped Richie! Added length can help with waviness as it adds weight to the hair. Beard oil can also help relax those waves a little bit for a straighter look.
thank you so much for this! This is my first time growing my beard out and my hairline is also a 2. It helped a lot and my beard is going to be that much better!
Thanks, this is great. I have this exact problem. I have a full, thick, healthy beard, and I got a haircut today. The sideburns are poofing out like crazy b/c I get clippers on the sides of my head with a number 2 guard as well. I'm gonna give this a shot when I get home from work.
i've let my beard fully grown for over 4 months now, but its not really shaped up i've never touched it and i think now is the time. i love your beard style and i wanna do it just like that, can you make a video on how to shape it up like this? thanks in advance, love your channel and all your advices
ty i ever thought about fading to my head i use to rock a fade all through high school i could grow a full beard since i was 15 then after high school i just rocked a shaved head and did it my self never knowing how to fade now i know so i can once again rock a fade and take care of the awful look in the side burn area and keep the hair from getting in my ear
Awesome thanks. Exactly what I wanted to know. What about under the chin? Any trimming/fading the at the adams apple area or where it meets the jaw line below the side burns videos? Or do you even trim there? Just started growing mine long, after years of a short kept beard, and was getting the curly mess going on with the side burns. Thanks again.
Loving this channel! Very helpful! Beard is coming in nicely though I wish it was a bit quicker but in time. Goal is to have a beard with similar length(maybe a bit shorter) than yours. Ordering some beard oil and the comb soon. Would a kinda cheap comb that has large and small teeth be alright when used carefully until I get a new comb?
Great tips...my beard is still maturing up to the stage where I would be able to grow it out like yours, there were some empty patches (not unsightly however) which I was upset about but overtime when I looked closer I finally saw some strong hairs growing even in those places! Now I am glad soon with time, patience and good nutrition I should have a fuller beard! Huzza!!
Your videos are killer man. Glad I stumbled on it. They've helped a lot, especially finding my style and how to trim it right. It's just about as big as yours but just grown out wild, haven't touched it. Keep em coming!
Honestly was terrified to try this i can say i was more confident shaving with my neck with my straight razor the first time glad i gave it a shot tho it was a good improvement your vids are awesome to look forward to seeing more!! Keep up the good work!
Going to a Barber to get my beard faded. I'm quite nervous, but I get the same curl near the side burns and really don't like it. Wish me luck Beard Baron! Also I bought a Bowler Hat as well, who knew they looked so great with beards. Maybe you could give other fashion tip's for guy's with beards.
Fading my beard was the most terrifying thing I've ever done, and I've been robbed at gunpoint. Glad to say I now look more "gentleman" and less "terrorist". Thanks for the guide
Hey Johnny, thanks for all the awesome beard vids. I have a little problem with my beard. Ive had a beard for about a year but keeping it relatively short, but Ive let it go in the last 4 or 5 months. It's gotten quite long now - 3in in places - but the problem I'm having is that every day it seems as though a dozen hairs fall out of my beard from all over the place, but mostly the chin. My skin under my beard appears healthy and isn't dry/oily and the hair itself feels soft and healthy too. I wash my beard with conditioner perhaps once a week but I don't use any oils. I am like another commenter down below who's beard grows in an assortment of colours (blonde, ginger, and brown) and Ive been dying it since growing it, perhaps once a month. When my beard was short hardly any hair fell out. What do you think could be the cause and is there a more natural way of darkening out the lighter parts?
I average about the same amount of hair loss a day as well so you are certainly well within the normal parameters, nothing to worry about there :) What's most likely happening is that those hairs are reaching their terminal length and are falling out. I'm not familiar with dyes but I've heard that natural henna is a great dye that is natural. Worth looking into.
great video man, thanx for all the tips. I have one question though, my beard is about 5 months old now but the growth has been kind of stunted and slow for the last month or so. So do u have any tips on how to speed up the growth. thanx again.
walid abdallah Hey Walid, when growing out longer beards you will notice that your beard will go through phases of slow/fast growth. This is just normal to how the body functions and just needs to be waited out. The time of year, especially colder months, can result in slower growth.
Thank you for answering my questions, your advice has helped me tremendously. The fade has worked out great for me b/c my sideburns get crazy curly. In all your videos it appears that your fade goes further down to your cheek. Is this just an illusion, or do you fade more than your sideburns?
The Beard Baron Great video. Can I ask you how you get your haircut? Im needing a haircut and I want something classic like yours. How would I ask my barber to cut it? Such as length on sides, back, and top, etc. Thanks in advance.
The Beard Baron is my hero. One day I shall have a beard as epic as his. Thanks for the video, you're making my beard look awesome everyday. My beard thanks you.
Awesome vids man keep em coming !! just wanted to ask about vellus hair, when will it turn into terminal hair ? im 19, and my beard didnt really fill in, I see tons of vellus hairs though. would Appreciate an answer, thank you man.
khaled kh It's different for everyone as some men have more than others and in different spots. The real way to tell is to really grow out your beard long.
Hey Beard Baron, Just started watching your videos. I finally found a job that allows facial hair. so I started with the jack sparrow look and now have decided to let my beard grow and see what it will look like. asked a few people around the job they said as long as it looks tidy have at it ...soooo excited never had a beard. sorry got long winded. my question is when do I start using beard oil and what can I use so as it is coming in it stays soft? already went through the itchy stage with the stache and chin hair.any help on this would be appreciated. the sides of my beard are about a 2 right now......thanks again
The one question I've been wondering about your beard is how do you get your beard long like that? It seems the thicker mine grows in, it not only gets long but wide as well. How do you get the sides of your beard thinned out so well. Not just the sideburns where your focused in this video but lower than that.
when I first tried to fade my beard I made the mistake you went over of starting to low and yes it was a shocker lol.. I ended up trimming it all down even, my wife hated it when I trimmed it all down and so did I ...it's all back in boss form now. Thanks for making these videos watching here from Alabama.
Thanks for the info great page to help who are just starting to grow a beard .. I'm at that point where it's starting to look rough didn't now how to go about making it look better any help would be great.. thank sweet beard by the way
Finally decided to trim my beard. If i take it down to 1" on the cheeks; what is the best length for the neck to give it a cleaned up look. Without being TOO short? Cheers
does it matter the type of clippers you use. I'm about 6 months into my beard and I think I want my beard like yours so does the type of clippers matter?
One thing I never saw you mention when trimming your beard is if you trim it with product in your beard such as beard oil. What do you do up to the point before you comb out the hair and start trimming? I assume you would shampoo and apply oil, style it like normal then trim. Is that the correct way to go about it?
Love your site -- Mike here and Ive been growing a full beard -- no razors for me -- you have lots of helpful tips and Im still learning ! The beard balm is very heard to use -- Caveman Beard Balm. Like their old as I like the Dapper Dan Balm watch is softer balm. I like the smell. Anyway keep up the great work on teaching us how to !! ; )
I have long thick wavy hair about 9 or 10 inches long and my sideburns grow faster than my beard itself and it just sticks out no matter how much I comb it. What clipper guard would you recommend I use to fade my sideburns into my beard and long hair because I don't wanna screw up my beard or hair by using a guard that I'm unsure about. I don't know how short to go because of my long hair. All I want is to get rid of those sideburns that stick/poke out to blend into my beard like yours.
I have the same problem, I would start with the longer sized like a #4 and see how that works, if you don't like then then try the next size down. (Better safe than sorry)
@@truffleshuffle126 i think the safest best way to make sure your sideburns are well groomed is to not trim it at all and use balm or butter to style it to tame the flyaways. Much safer than attempting to trim it and screwing it up.
My beard remains on this face because of this guy. Every time I think of bailing I end up for whatever reason watching a multitude of beard baron videos. Thanks man, much appreciated.
I don't always shave...but when I do , I do it in a white collard dress shirt .
Ryan Dawson Hahah, YES!
Beared suit u
I am too chicken shit to try this, even though I really should trim the sides a bit. Gah, I'll probably experiment a bit tonight. Wish me luck beard brothers.
DaemoniumCC Just take it nice and slow. When in doubt, grow it out.
The Beard Baron I did this the other night, and I think it turned out well. Took your advice and started off with a number 4 guard and just went from there. Think it turned out okay.

Hey Paul, great to hear you've been enjoying my videos all the way out in Vietnam! You're well on your way to achieving mythical status!!!
I have a question for you Mr. Beard Baro
When will you do a moustache trimming/styling video?
Thanks in advance
Hey Chris, I have a 3 part mustache mini series coming up hopefully by the end of this month! Stay tuned!
I've been asking this since day one! LOL can't wait for them!!
So today I bought hair cutting scissors, and trimmed the bottom of my beard. And when I was doing so, I kept hearing your voice: "Just crumbs, only take crumbs." It came out great, didn't go shorter, just neatened it up a bit. Also the angle that I held the scissors was definitely useful information. Every time I see you have a new video, I hope for that mustache one. But always good info!
Happy to hear the trimming techniques worked out for you Jason! I keep saying it but the mustache videos are coming soon :)
Great technique!!. I tried this and my beard shape has improved ten fold....It makes the beard look longer (currently 4 inches long) and fuller.
Troy Mallie Glad it worked out so well for you Troy!

Its so nicely kept and manly at the same time.

Great to hear it worked out so well for you Manuel! All the best!

I would have never thought in a million years to comb up to separate the hair I want to remove from the rest on my sideburns. Great pointers here, and great video.
Thanks for watching Gavin!
OMG, THANK YOU! Need to watch the rest of your videos yet, but I've been struggling with that for a while. Hopefully now I'll be able to master it! :)
love the video man keep em' coming :)

Hey Fallenout, glad you liked it :) As for the barber it all comes down to how much do you trust your barber fading vs how much do you trust yourself fading.
I nearly made a disastrous error by starting lower down. Thank you so much for this. Did it like you said on a 5 guard and it worked perfectly.
This video really helped me. I hate when my sideburns get longer. All straggly and no control. And it makes for a great transition between my shorter hair and longer beard. THANKS
thumbs up for "just go beast mode on it"...
It's been my phrase of the month already, but you made it so much better. :)
awesome tutorial. I shave my head and this part really annoys me only 6 to 8 weeks into my way to a glorious beard.
Thanks for the tip mam feel so much better than sticking a load of wax on it 👍
+Daniel Parry Glad it worked out so well for you Daniel!
+The Beard Baron Do you use any machine like that? and what clip should I use? I'm new to having a beard :(
help please
get a clipper and try it out on you upper leg, no one can see the patches and you can get a technique
What an awesome beard! I'm always sad that I can't grow something like this, i'm just 20. At which age did you become able to grow this thick full beard?
20? You should be able to. Just try :D
Thanks Fred! For me it wasn't until about 25 I was able to grow a thick full beard.
schleykov Well, I'm saying that I can't because i'm aware of my potential.

Brilliant video! Cheers! I fell for that once trying to trim my beard, but now I know!
Keep up the great job!
Glad you enjoyed it Nikolas! It can be a tough area to trim but I figured it out the hard way :)
I personally believe that it's one spot of a man's beard that, if kept untidy, will spoil the beard's shape and other people will say that he just let it grew because he just doesn't like shaving...
I completely agree although some guys can pull it off really nice, I'm not one of them :)
The Beard Baron Indeed, the natural look suits some people pretty well! I suppose it depends on your head's shape...
Your beard is the best beard ive ever seen !!
thanks for the video The Beard Baron because I shave my head, the sides of my beard looked huge against my head, this one video made a massive difference thank you!

i've let my beard fully grown for over 4 months now, but its not really shaped up i've never touched it and i think now is the time. i love your beard style and i wanna do it just like that, can you make a video on how to shape it up like this? thanks in advance, love your channel and all your advices
I'll see what I can do!
great video, just did the tidy up and it looks a hell of a lot neater.

Or do you even trim there? Just started growing mine long, after years of a short kept beard, and was getting the curly mess going on with the side burns. Thanks again.

Monasster Thanks for watching! I'd be careful with the cheap comb and if the new comb is already on the way I'd probably wait for it.
5 months now, I'm getting some mixed comments on my, ' face fur'...fro bush ...you get it. THANK YOU FOR ALL THESE AMAZING VIDS!!!!!!!
cool video. just started my beard journey. Good tip for a beginning beard man
Tyson Arden Welcome aboard Tyson!
Great tips...my beard is still maturing up to the stage where I would be able to grow it out like yours, there were some empty patches (not unsightly however) which I was upset about but overtime when I looked closer I finally saw some strong hairs growing even in those places! Now I am glad soon with time, patience and good nutrition I should have a fuller beard! Huzza!!
Your videos are killer man. Glad I stumbled on it. They've helped a lot, especially finding my style and how to trim it right. It's just about as big as yours but just grown out wild, haven't touched it. Keep em coming!
clay harpole Glad I could help!
Honestly was terrified to try this i can say i was more confident shaving with my neck with my straight razor the first time glad i gave it a shot tho it was a good improvement your vids are awesome to look forward to seeing more!! Keep up the good work!
Going to a Barber to get my beard faded. I'm quite nervous, but I get the same curl near the side burns and really don't like it. Wish me luck Beard Baron! Also I bought a Bowler Hat as well, who knew they looked so great with beards. Maybe you could give other fashion tip's for guy's with beards.
Adrian Serrano Best of luck Adrian! Enjoy the bowler!
you are on a roll Johnny , very good and informative video
Glad you liked it Paul!
Fading my beard was the most terrifying thing I've ever done, and I've been robbed at gunpoint. Glad to say I now look more "gentleman" and less "terrorist". Thanks for the guide
How long did it take for you to grow this epic beard and mustache?
you are the safest beard trimmer ever
Hey Johnny, thanks for all the awesome beard vids. I have a little problem with my beard. Ive had a beard for about a year but keeping it relatively short, but Ive let it go in the last 4 or 5 months. It's gotten quite long now - 3in in places - but the problem I'm having is that every day it seems as though a dozen hairs fall out of my beard from all over the place, but mostly the chin. My skin under my beard appears healthy and isn't dry/oily and the hair itself feels soft and healthy too. I wash my beard with conditioner perhaps once a week but I don't use any oils.
I am like another commenter down below who's beard grows in an assortment of colours (blonde, ginger, and brown) and Ive been dying it since growing it, perhaps once a month. When my beard was short hardly any hair fell out. What do you think could be the cause and is there a more natural way of darkening out the lighter parts?
I average about the same amount of hair loss a day as well so you are certainly well within the normal parameters, nothing to worry about there :) What's most likely happening is that those hairs are reaching their terminal length and are falling out. I'm not familiar with dyes but I've heard that natural henna is a great dye that is natural. Worth looking into.
great video man, thanx for all the tips. I have one question though, my beard is about 5 months old now but the growth has been kind of stunted and slow for the last month or so. So do u have any tips on how to speed up the growth. thanx again.
walid abdallah Hey Walid, when growing out longer beards you will notice that your beard will go through phases of slow/fast growth. This is just normal to how the body functions and just needs to be waited out. The time of year, especially colder months, can result in slower growth.
I really enjoy watching your videos, keep on !
Thanks for the tips bro, im on my third weak beard growing.
otto chacon All the best Otto!
how much time you need to your beard grow like that ? i love it ! do you use any shampoo ?
very good vid's. on my 1st beard and watched a bunch of you're stuff and helped me a lot. thanks
Hey . It would be cool if the site had a section where you can post a picture of your beard and get community advice on . Just a thought .
Great idea Frank, I'll keep that in mind!
Thank you!! I've been searching for a video like this, huge help
Thank you for answering my questions, your advice has helped me tremendously. The fade has worked out great for me b/c my sideburns get crazy curly. In all your videos it appears that your fade goes further down to your cheek. Is this just an illusion, or do you fade more than your sideburns?
Sometimes the fade goes down a little lower but it's not really faded at that point but just trimmed.
The Beard Baron Great video. Can I ask you how you get your haircut? Im needing a haircut and I want something classic like yours. How would I ask my barber to cut it? Such as length on sides, back, and top, etc. Thanks in advance.
hey bro i just placed and order for your product cant wait to try it out ...throw in the comb ...cool beans bro ...great job
The Beard Baron is my hero. One day I shall have a beard as epic as his.
Thanks for the video, you're making my beard look awesome everyday. My beard thanks you.
Timothy Brooks You're welcome Timothy! All the best!
Awesome vids man keep em coming !! just wanted to ask about vellus hair, when will it turn into terminal hair ? im 19, and my beard didnt really fill in, I see tons of vellus hairs though.
would Appreciate an answer, thank you man.
khaled kh It's different for everyone as some men have more than others and in different spots. The real way to tell is to really grow out your beard long.
Hey Beard Baron, Just started watching your videos. I finally found a job that allows facial hair. so I started with the jack sparrow look and now have decided to let my beard grow and see what it will look like. asked a few people around the job they said as long as it looks tidy have at it ...soooo excited never had a beard. sorry got long winded. my question is when do I start using beard oil and what can I use so as it is coming in it stays soft? already went through the itchy stage with the stache and chin hair.any help on this would be appreciated. the sides of my beard are about a 2 right now......thanks again
Such an epic beard. Motivating!!! Thanks for the tips!!
You're welcome HealthyJoeful!
Just what I was looking for! Great tutorial it worked perfectly!
The one question I've been wondering about your beard is how do you get your beard long like that? It seems the thicker mine grows in, it not only gets long but wide as well. How do you get the sides of your beard thinned out so well. Not just the sideburns where your focused in this video but lower than that.
when I first tried to fade my beard I made the mistake you went over of starting to low and yes it was a shocker lol.. I ended up trimming it all down even, my wife hated it when I trimmed it all down and so did I ...it's all back in boss form now. Thanks for making these videos watching here from Alabama.
Never shave it all off, man!
I'm here from /r/beards too. Keep the great videos coming.
Will do Spaceman :)
What a glorious beard!
Thanks for all the tips, great channel! Saved me many a rookie errors!
Thanks for the info great page to help who are just starting to grow a beard .. I'm at that point where it's starting to look rough didn't now how to go about making it look better any help would be great.. thank sweet beard by the way
You're welcome Brandon, glad I could point you in the right direction!
this will be very useful for i get that curliness too.
Thank you! Explains perfectly what my guy complains about. Now we can take care of the madness curls on the side that he hates
Sarah Miller Stop the madness! Remember to just take it slow and start with a larger guard than you think you'll need and you'll do just fine :)
Finally decided to trim my beard. If i take it down to 1" on the cheeks; what is the best length for the neck to give it a cleaned up look. Without being TOO short?
Cheers
now that is a nice looking beard
Your beard is awesome, do you use beard oil or anything like that?
Ashley Griffiths I sure do Ashely! Check out my other videos on beard oil.
Thanks, man. Feels so much better now!
He said he love my beard! I love your beard sir!
does it matter the type of clippers you use. I'm about 6 months into my beard and I think I want my beard like yours so does the type of clippers matter?
Wow that must be like the most amazing beard ever
Just stumbled across your channel today good stuff man keep it up. Also I like how you respond to almost everyone.
Will do Mitchell! Thanks for stopping by!
One thing I never saw you mention when trimming your beard is if you trim it with product in your beard such as beard oil. What do you do up to the point before you comb out the hair and start trimming? I assume you would shampoo and apply oil, style it like normal then trim. Is that the correct way to go about it?
Love your site -- Mike here and Ive been growing a full beard -- no razors for me -- you have lots of helpful tips and Im still learning ! The beard balm is very heard to use -- Caveman Beard Balm. Like their old as I like the Dapper Dan Balm watch is softer balm. I like the smell. Anyway keep up the great work on teaching us how to !! ; )
Dude this is very helpful my hair and beard problems are exactly the same..
I have long thick wavy hair about 9 or 10 inches long and my sideburns grow faster than my beard itself and it just sticks out no matter how much I comb it. What clipper guard would you recommend I use to fade my sideburns into my beard and long hair because I don't wanna screw up my beard or hair by using a guard that I'm unsure about. I don't know how short to go because of my long hair. All I want is to get rid of those sideburns that stick/poke out to blend into my beard like yours.
I have the same problem, I would start with the longer sized like a #4 and see how that works, if you don't like then then try the next size down. (Better safe than sorry)
@@truffleshuffle126 i think the safest best way to make sure your sideburns are well groomed is to not trim it at all and use balm or butter to style it to tame the flyaways. Much safer than attempting to trim it and screwing it up.
