Beard trimming
Beard trimmers are a great tool to help you tidy your beard up quickly, especially if you keep an even length all over. Wahl, Andis, and Philips all make great beard trimmers that are easy to use and will bring most of the hair down to the same length. If you find that your beard doesn’t look full, and want to improve the illusion of it, trim the hair around the mustache and goatee area one length setting lower than the rest of your beard – this will make the rest of the hair look fuller in comparison. Be careful not to go down more than two length settings on your Best beard trim in Birmingham, or you’ll start to look a bit suspect.
Combs & Scissors for beards
To keep your beard looking great and in shape, it’s imperative to use a comb and scissors to get the stray hairs that your trimmer will inevitably miss. There are always escapees from the trimmer – those of us that keep short beards will be able to testify to that. Run the comb in the opposite direction of hair growth to lift any strays away from the rest of the beard, and then use the comb to keep them held away and isolated, so you can easily trim them with the scissors. Another tip is to use the comb around the neckline of the beard to trim it slightly shorter than the rest of the beard, giving a subtle fade into the neck that will make your beard look sharper and fuller.
Razor and Shave Oil for beards
To get the sharpest edges on your beard, you’ll want to tidy up with a shave every few days at Best wet shave in Birmingham shop. A safety razor is usually the best choice, as you have slightly more control than a cartridge razor. It’s always best to use a Shave Oil when shaping up a beard. It will soften the hairs enough for shaving, and provides much more visibility for shaping the beard – we’ve heard one too many stories of guys using a shaving cream and taking off slightly too much of their beard because they couldn’t quite tell where to shave! Best Shave in Birmingham barber apply the shave oil in the area you want to shave, usually the cheeks and lower neck, and shave as you would normally.
Face Scrub & Moisturising for beards
Using a face scrub is imperative for beard growers. The skin beneath the beard gets dry as the hair pulls oil away from the skin, and without proper moisturization and the daily exfoliation men naturally get from shaving, the skin can start to become flaky. Beard dandruff is not a good look. Use a scrub all over the face, every other day at the least, and pay special attention to the beard area – especially the neck. Rinse off with warm water and follow with a small amount of moisturizing balm all over the face, working it into the beard. Choose Wet shave in Birmingham to look great.
Beard Oil & Moustache Wax
When considering Cut Throat shave in Birmingham, applying beard oil is the bare minimum that every man with a beard should do to groom his beard and keep it looking great. The oil helps provide moisture to the skin beneath the beard – work it into the beard paying extra attention to the neck and goatee areas, as these are most prone to dryness and flakiness.
Your beard will feel softer, but also look shinier and healthier. Use a small amount of mustache wax, warmed between the fingers, to keep any unruly hairs in place, or to style a mustache – and remember, as with any styling product, you can always add more but never take away, so use sparingly.
