How to Trim a Hollywoodian Beard
What is a Hollywoodian Beard?
Long before Hollywood’s Golden Age, this style was chosen by the rich and famous because we’ve seen this beard in fine paintings and early sculptures. Today it’s wildly fashionable, short, inexpensive, and easy to style. Are you ready to try it?
How to Trim a Hollywoodian Beard Step-by-Step
1. Clean Up to Start
Ensure you have three to six weeks of beard growth. Wash your face in warm water to open your pores. Towel dry. Then use a styling comb to brush your facial hair in the same direction.
2. Shave Cheeks
Shave the hair on the upper parts of the cheeks, leaving a line of hair that extends from your ear along the side of your chin. The beard should not connect to the sideburns.
3. Trim Neckline
With your Wahl beard trimmer, trim hair clean on your neck. Note: You want to leave enough hair around the chin and jawline to create definition.
4. Connect Chin to Mustache
Leave two vertical strips of hair around the mouth, connecting the chin with the mustache area. Similar to the Western Mustache.
5. Sculpt the Soul Patch
Grab your trimmer and trim the soul patch to create a perfectly rectangular shape.
6. Beard Balm to Maintain
Continue to trim the beard as time goes on to maintain this look. It takes five minutes tops to keep this style looking perfectly defined. Style and condition the beard with a dab of beard balm to keep it smelling as good as it looks.
