How to Line Up Your Beard Step-by-Step
-
1
Look in the mirror, hold your head upright. Whatever hair that you see below your chin needs to go.
-
2
With your Wahl trimmer, start trimming just above the Adam’s apple. Your Adam's apple is like a natural dividing line between your beard and neck. This can act as your "center."
-
3
Work towards the ears to get a straight line. Refer to your center and work from this middle up to the ear. Do the same on the other side, always starting from the center/middle. Don’t go ear to ear. This can lead to an uneven line.
-
4
You don't need to make your beard too rounded (unless that is the look you are going for). A slight curve will look great.
-
5
Once your beard is lined and shaped up, finish up the look with beard styling products daily.
