How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Trimmed Beard Shape

Growing a trimmed beard will take time and proper care to ensure it’s groomed properly. Here are the steps to grow one yourself.

1. Grow A Full Beard

To get the best-looking trimmed beard you can, you will first need to grow a decently sized beard around one to three inches in length. You need to ensure that you have good coverage so that it won’t look patchy when you trim it. That means you should grow your beard out maybe an inch or so past the size you are actually aiming for. Daily beard supplements can help you grow your beard if you’re having trouble.

2. Trim The Facial Hair

Once you have passed the desired length that you want for your beard, it’s time to trim it back. This will make sure that all of the hairs are of a uniform size. Trimming can also help promote healthy growth in your beard, so to keep it maintained, you may find yourself trimming every one to two weeks. 

Use a good beard clipper, or get a grooming set with a comb and scissors to trim those hairs. The comb guides by letting in the hairs you want to trim. Then use clippers or scissors to cut off the unwanted hair. Do this for your whole beard, and make sure you are pulling through the same size length in the comb each time.

3. Shave Clean Lines

After you have trimmed down your beard, it is time to clean up your lines. That means shaving around the cheek and neck area, so give it a sharp look. Place a beard-shaping tool against your cheek or neckline and use the tool's edges to shave around. This flat area of the tool will give you a straight line, and the curved edges will help get a nice shape around your cheek and sideburns. We recommend a good shave lube, so your face doesn’t become irritated.

4. Wash And Repeat

Finally, you should wash your beard off of any cut hair. You can use a beard wash to clean it and then use a nice butter afterwards to soften it and make it smell fresh. Then take a beard brush and brush down those facial hairs uniformly. Your new trimmed beard looks great, and all you have to do now is maintain it weekly by trimming, shaving, and keeping it clean.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Shaggy Beard Shape

The great thing about growing a shaggy beard is that the less attention you pay to it, the better it looks. Follow these simple steps to get the look. 

1. Grow out your beard.

A shaggy beard looks best when it has several inches of growth, ideally at least 2-3”. As you grow out your beard, use this beard growth kit, which includes growth supplements and a growth serum. Take the supplements daily as part of your multivitamin routine, and use the serum by applying a small amount to your beard daily to increase growth and restore moisture.

2. Don’t shave your cheeks.

While some beard styles look better with defined lines around the cheeks and sides, we prefer this look to creep up naturally toward the cheeklines. So ditch the razor for awhile!

3. Let your mustache grow into your beard.

A shaggy beard looks best with a mustache that grows downward and blends into the beard.You can use trimming scissors if the hair above your lip gets too long, but let the sides grow down.

4. Keep your beard moisturized.

There’s no need to brush out or style this particular look, but you do want to keep it clean and moisturized so you don’t look and feel like a porcupine. Wash daily with a beard shampoo and then follow up with this hemp beard elixir to moisturize, strengthen, and nourish your beard.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect shaggy beard:

• Beard Growth Kit: to stimulate beard growth.
• PROGRO Beard Shampoo: to cleanse and hydrate your beard.

How to Grow and Maintain The Dali Mustache

The most important part of growing a Dali mustache is the product you use to style it. Follow these tips to imitate this famous look.

1. Grow out your mustache.

Start by growing out your mustache to at least the point where it starts to fall below your lipline. At this point, you can begin to “train” your mustache by using a comb and beard butter to style and pull the sides outward and slightly upward.

2. Start styling your mustache outward and upward.

After several months of growth, you’ll be able to split your mustache to either side and style the hair with a slight upward curl. As it gets longer, you may need to use beeswax to get the shape to stay.

3. Maintain the style.

To maintain this style, we recommend using a grooming kit that contains a comb, scissors, and a safety razor. You can use the scissors to trim the ends of your mustache and keep it at your desired length. Use the razor to keep the rest of your face clean-shaven and keep the focus on your mustache. Finally, you’ll want to use the comb daily to style your mustache.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get The Dali look:

• Wild Willies Beard Butter - Cool Mint: to style and train your mustache upward.
• The Expert Grooming Kit: to trim, style, and maintain your mustache.
• Shave Lube: for shaving off the rest of your facial hair.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Handlebar Mustache

The handlebar mustache can be fun and looks great if pulled off correctly. Here are the steps to make one yourself.

1. Grow The Mustache

The first step in growing this style is having a long mustache. There are different lengths of handlebar mustaches, but generally speaking, it needs to be longer than you think. When you begin styling it, it will shorten in length, so make sure you have enough facial hair to work with. We recommend growing your hair at least one to two inches. Use beard serum to promote natural hair growth if you have trouble growing hair or it’s just not thick enough.

2. Style The Mustache

After you have gotten your mustache long enough to work with, it’s time to style it. Handlebar mustaches can be combed straight out, but typically they are curled upward towards the nose. This curved mustache look is the defining feature, so you want to take your time to get this right. Use a dime-sized beard balm and rub it between your index finger, middle finger, and thumb. Next, twist your mustache hairs on the ends by rolling them back and forth with your fingers. This will get them clumped together, and the balm will help solidify the shape. Finally, wrap your mustache around your index finger. This twirling around your finger will create a curved mustache. It takes practice, but you’ll get it if you work at it long enough.

3. Shave And Cleanup

Once you have gotten the mustache where you want it, it’s time to clean up. At this point, you can either keep your beard or shave it off. It doesn’t really matter either way, but if you want to accent the handlebar mustache, then it’s recommended you shave your beard. This will bring the focus only to the mustache. Use a good razor and quality shave lube to shave off the beard. You can leave the sideburns as long as you’d wish.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect handlebar mustache:

• Beard Boost Serum: All-natural ingredients help promote a healthy and thick set of facial hair.
• Beard Butter Balm & Brush Combo Set: Style your mustache while keeping it moisturized and soft. It also comes with a brush to brush out your hair.
• Shave Lube: Professional-grade shave lube that keeps your skin feeling fresh without all of the irritation.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Pencil Mustache

The pencil mustache makes a statement on it’s own, and usually does not include a beard. Follow these steps to get a great pencil mustache that will make you want to light a cigar and drink some whiskey with the boys.

1. Shave all of your facial hair except your mustache.

This look is best when it stands alone, so start by shaving off all of your facial hair except the mustache. To get a close shave and prevent razor burn, use a shave lube and a safety razor.

2. Trim your mustache.

A pencil mustache should be short. Use a 2mm or 4mm guard on your trimmer to even out the length of your ‘stache.

3. Define the shape.

The distinguishing feature of the pencil mustache is that it’s usually straight across. Take any attachments off your trimmer and use short, gentle strokes to achieve a straight line. Stop frequently to check for symmetry.

4. Take care of your skin.

Since most of your face will be sans hair, you’ll want to take extra care of your skin to prevent dryness, flakiness, or acne. Use a facial cleanser like Tough Scrub to eliminate dirt and oil and prevent clogged pores. Finish off with a moisturizer that contains SPF to keep your face hydrated and protected from the sun’s rays.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect pencil mustache:

• Wild Willies Shave Lube: to get a close shave and prevent razor burn.
• Tough Scrub: to cleanse your face.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect French Mustache Shape

The French mustache can be a fun experience when growing it out. Here are the steps to do just that.

1. Grow The Mustache 

For the French mustache, you will need to get a good curl. This means that the mustache needs to be long, usually two inches or more in hair length. Start growing your mustache out as soon as possible. If you are having trouble or it’s taking too long, try using beard growth supplements containing natural ingredients.

2. Trim And Style

The next step is to trim and style the mustache. Use beard clippers to get a nice, even look but make sure you don’t cut off the ends. You may have to do this a couple of times over the course of a week or two, depending on how fast your hair grows. The key is to keep the hairs around your upper lip uniform while letting the ends get long. Once they are a couple of inches long, apply beard butter balm and twirl the hair around your finger. This will create an upwards curl. 

3. Maintain The Mustache And Beard

With a French mustache, you can choose to have a beard. If you decide to lose the beard, then you will need to shave off any unwanted hairs around your jaw, cheeks, and neck. If you decide to keep the beard, you should trim it every so often so that it grows uniformly. We recommend using a good beard shampoo and conditioner on your facial hair to keep it clean and soft.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect French mustache:

• Beard Growth Supplements: All-natural ingredients boost beard growth and give your hair the nutrients it needs.
• Beard Wash: This beard wash will keep your facial hair nice and clean without stripping it of essential oils.
