How to Do a Hipster Goatee
This term has come to mean a lot of things. In the case of facial hair, there is no mistaking its awesomeness. It combines a mustache with a little chin hair, and it’s simple to maintain.
How to Do the Hipster Goatee Step-by-Step
-
1
With your Wahl trimmer or Wahl shaver, remove all facal hair except for the chin and mustache area.
-
2
You want to grow a small patch of hair that adequately covers the front of the chin.
-
3
Let the mustache grow 1 to 2 weeks, or until it reaches medium thickness. Allow the mustache to extend beyond the corners of the mouth.
-
4
Shave every couple of days to remove stubble in the areas that are meant to be clean-shaven. Also, make sure to keep a clear line of separation between the upper lip and mustache itself.
