Long beard enhances the overall look while making you look stylish. Over time, it has become a symbol of masculinity and self-confidence. However, without proper care and regular trimming, it can quickly become unruly, uneven, or even unhygienic. That’s why keeping it trimmed and well-maintained is the secret to making it look great.
How to Trim Long Beard?
No matter how long your beard is or what beard style you wish to have, knowing how to trim a long beard is essential. Here is a step-by-step process on how to trim a long beard with a trimmer:
Step 1: Comb your beard in the direction of the hair

Begin by washing your beard with beard shampoo and pat dry. Once done, use a beard comb to detangle it carefully. It helps to shape and trim evenly. To detangle your beard hair, choose Vega Beard Comb. This beard comb for men is handcrafted with cellulose acetate material that creates less static. Additional features include:

Step 3: Choose the right comb attachment
Having right beard trimmer comb attachments is essential to achieve the perfectly groomed beard at home. The best beard trimmer for long beard has multiple attachments that make styling beard hair easy. To give shape to your long beard, go for the longer attachment which offers precise results. Choose the shorter attachment once you remove the bulk and wish to give a more refined detailing to your face. Knowing how to style beard for every face shape can make a world of difference to create a bold impact.
Step 4: Groom your neckline
Once done with choosing the attachment, start from the bottom of the neck. Put two fingers above your Adam’s apple to form a regular curved line on the right and left end of the beard with the mark placed in the middle of the neck. As soon as the lines are made, rest the trimmer's flat surface on your skin and move upwards while trimming down the hair. Continue trimming to the other parts of your neck to achieve a spotless beard look.
Step 5: Trim your sideburns
When you trim your beard yourself, the sideburns are often ignored, but it is important to groom them as well. Know why? Because it balances out your facial features. So, move to the sideburns after the neckline is clean and looks sharp enough. The width and type of sideburns is up to personal preferences. To do so, start by trimming the outer edges of your sideburns, the part below and next to the ear, and voila, you are done. Always trim in the direction of hair growth using short and controlled strokes. Ensure to check from multiple angles for evenness.
Step 6: Don’t forget cheeks
When it comes to grooming your cheek line, being extra careful is vital. Since the cheek line is directly visible on your face, there are no ways you can get it wrong while trimming long beard. Essentially, what we do here is, create a line from your sideburn to the corner of your mouth. You can either go for a straight cheek line or curved line to add more definition as per your preference and face shape.
Step 7: Maintain your mustache
Finally, maintaining your mustache is equally important to create a striking full beard look. It creates a neat, balanced, and well-groomed appearance. So, comb your beard and then trim extra mustache hair extending over the upper lips using the beard trimmer.
