How to Get a Full Beard Step-by-Step

1
To grow a full beard, stop shaving for three weeks to see if your beard has any patchy or sparse areas, or until you have a good amount of hair growth. Then begin to add some desired shape and trim the edges along the neck and cheeks with your Wahl trimmer.

Choose the Guide Comb You Need

Understand the length of beard you want and then use trimmer guide combs to achieve said length.
Trim in the Direction of Growth for Long Beards

Longer beards require trimming in the direction of hair growth to avoid a patchy look.
Trim in Any Direction for Short Beard

Evening Out Your Beard and Neckline

To maintain an even beard with neck hair, try to keep hair length shorter than the hair growing on your chin and cheeks as neck hair tends to be thicker.
