How to Trim a Friendly Mutton Chops Beard
What are Friendly Mutton Chops?
One-of-a-kind sideburns that follow the natural growth of your beard and extend outward to your cheeks and to the edge of the mouth and connect to your mustache. Masculine. Modern. Fun. Flattering on rounder faces.
How to do Friendly Mutton Chops Step by Step
1. Start with a Full Beard
Grow your beard including your mustache for four to six weeks or until you have a good amount of hair growth. Ensure your sideburns extend down to your jaw and halfway to your chin.
2. Clean and Dry
Wash and dry your face before you trim your beard. Then, using a styling comb or brush, brush your facial hair so it lays in the same direction.
3. Clean Chin
Shave your chin and neck clean, leaving the mustache untouched.
4. Set the Border
Using your beard trimmer, create a top border by shaving a sloped line along the top of the natural border of your beard on your cheek to your mouth. This beard can be thick or thin, depending on the style you wish to achieve.
5. Define the Look
Make sure the sideburns connect to the mustache to create a triangular shape around the chin and mouth. Now trim the mustache to create a defined line and a tighter look.
6. Contour Jawline
Create a lower border by shaving a defined line along your jawline.
7. Maintain Your Look
Allow your new Friendly Mutton Chops to grow to the desired length. You can keep them styled and tamed with a dab of beard balm.
