Using A Beard Trimmer Effectively

By Edelson Nasheer

You have just purchased your new beard trimming tool. The secret is knowing a few easy techniques for using a beard trimmer. This makes trimming a faster and smoother process. First, go around your home and get a few items together, and put them where you will be working. Knowing how you want your beard styled is important. Clean all your equipment thoroughly before you begin. Now you may begin your very first beard trimming experience.

The first step is you will need to gather the following items: Newspaper, scissors, a comb, shaving cream, a new razor, and a small trash can. The newspaper will be used to catch the beard hair as you trim. The scissors and comb you will need to trim the longer hairs. You will be using the shaving cream a razor to shave around your beard and neck. You will be using the trash can to place your trimmed hairs in when you are finished.

Deciding on the style you want your beard to look like. You may do searches on the internet, look at magazines geared toward men. Make a trip to the hairstylist shop and ask to see pictures. Once you have decided on a style, and the length of beard you like, you will be ready to start trimming. Take off about 1/4 inch at a time, and go slowly at first. You will have a nice looking beard when you are finished.

You will find several attachment tools included with your beard trimmer. You will want to place the correct tool on your trimmer before you begin. You may begin with either the right or the left sideburn. Place the trimmer at an angle against your skin, moving straight down to the end of the sideburns. Look at what you've just trimmed, then move on using the same steps for the other sideburn. Check both sideburns, making sure that they are even and as short as you want them. Now is the time to trim a little extra, only if your beard needs it.

The main part of your beard is now ready for the trimming process. Make sure you have the correct attachment tool connected on your trimmer. Begin at the bottom of your beard moving upwards. Do this again until the whole beard is nicely trimmed. As you are trimming, continue to look at the length and make sure the beard hairs are even. You may need to go back and trim the hairs slightly, or as needed. You may find that using a comb along with your trimmer is easy. The more you practice, the faster and easier it is to get a nice trim.

You have completed trimming your beard and burns. This is the time to shave your neck clean. Begin at the bottom of the neck, moving your razor up to your face. Finish shaving your neck in this fashion. Go ahead and shave your face area, check what you have shaved. If there are any stray hairs or stubble, now is a good time to clean those up. Towel dry your beard and skin, and comb out your beard after it has thoroughly dried.

The last few things you will need to do are, looking at your face and beard. If you see uneven or hairs that are too long need to be trimmed. Check out the style you created for yourself, do you love it? If not, then trim just a little more, just until you like the end result. You will find a care sheet inside the box that your trimmer came in. Read the care sheet, and clean your trimmer. Make sure it is clean and dry when you put it away. The next time you need it, you will know where you put it. - 29955
