How to Do the Triumph Beard

The Triumph Beard takes the Chin Curtain one patch of hair further. With whiskers that grow from sideburn to sideburn and a small patch that extends from the chin to the lower lip, it delivers a winning look.

How to Do a Triumph Beard Step-by-Step

  • 1

    Start by shaving your cheeks clean.

  • 2

    While shaving, you want to sculpt a sloping and continuous hair line that starts at the sideburns, runs down to the jawline and continues to the chin.

  • 3

    The width of the beard curtain you are forming can be wider the closer you get to the chin.

  • 4

    Allow a patch of hair to grow starting from the chin and extending to your bottom lip. Similar to a goatee.

  • 5

    Shave any mustache hair and get rid of all hair below your bottom lip.

  • 6

    Use a Wahl trimmer and scissors to even out your whiskers, but keep them long enough so that they aren’t prickly.
