How to Do a Goatee
What is a Goatee?
The Goatee sets the foundation for many facial hair styles. It’s ideal for most face and chin shapes. And can add length to the face and enhance a soft jawline. When worn in a wider form under the chin, the Goatee can help to minimize a more pointed chin.
How to Do the Goatee Step-by-Step
1. Clean Face to Start
For best results, start with 2-3 weeks of facial hair. Before you trim, use a styling comb to brush the beard in the direction of hair growth. This helps to get an even trim.
2. Define the Shape
Shave your cheeks and throat clean. Define the goatee shape as you go.
3. Trim Under Chin
Using your Wahl trimmer, remove your chin whiskers, leaving hair only on the region below the boundary of the mouth. This hair may be trimmed short or groomed to a longer point.
4. Trim Whiskers
Shave below your lower lip, trimming the Soul Patch whiskers to your preference.
5. Finish Up the Corners
Clear the area between the corners of your mouth and the chin, forming a sharp boundary where your chin whiskers begin.
