Never trim your neckline when your hair is wet. If you do, it’ll inevitably be shorter than you want once it dries.
Many people think their neckline should be in line with their jawline, but that’s not the case. Trimming to the jawline will make your beard look too small for your face.
A 3-way mirror is really helpful for the entire trimming process, and it’ll help you find your neckline much more easily. If you don’t have a 3-way mirror, use a handheld mirror instead.
For a tighter trim, you might go slightly higher than this point. But when you’re first starting out, it’s better to err on the side of caution and trim lower at first and then take it higher. You can always trim more hair, but it takes a while for hair to grow back.
Hair clippers may have the low settings you need, but if not, you’ll want to invest in a beard trimmer if you don’t already have one.
Keep in mind that you never want to trim on your actual jawline.
This look is very stylized and is currently very popular. It’s a great option if you like to regularly trim your beard, groom your hair, and look very put together.
This is a wonderful look if you want to present a more laid-back, yet still well-groomed, appearance.
Don’t forget to wipe all the stray hairs off of your face, neck, and chest once you’re finished trimming your neckline.
