You've made the decision to grow a beard, with the help of a supplement like Vitabeard, and endured the days and weeks of shaggy facial hair. Now you're ready to start grooming your newly grown facial addition to give it the look you desire. While it's true that wearing a beard will limit the amount of time you spend grooming each morning, successful beards still need some care to achieve the look you want. Don't be intimidated about getting down to business in front of the mirror. By carefully following the three steps, you'll make sure your beard looks its best.

Get The Neckline Right

Take a look at any group of men with beards and there's a good chance you'll see at least someone whose beard is trimmed improperly along the neckline. Many men make the mistake of trimming the bottom of their beards too high -- for example, right along the edge of the jaw. This approach can make you look heavier than you are because the bare skin below the facial hair can give you the appearance of a double chin from some angles. An effective way to know where your beard should stop is to use the two-finger method; hold your index and middle fingers together and stack them against your Adam's apple. Trim your beard at the position of your upper finger.

Use Beard Oil

If you're having trouble getting used to the itchy sensation of your beard or your spouse or partner is complaining that the hair is abrasive, you can improve the situation through the use of beard oil. Place a few drips of the oil into your palm, rubs your hands together and methodically work the oil into the entire surface of your beard. This enjoyable process can be part of your morning grooming routine. It helps to soften the hairs and can also make your beard shine in a pleasing way. Beard oil is available in a wide range of varieties including unscented and scented.

Get Rid Of Stray Hairs

Unless you're keeping your beard tightly cropped, you'll likely encounter stray hairs that have managed to elude your trimmer. These long hairs don't look very flattering when they catch the light. Get rid of them by trimming them away with scissors. After you've trimmed your beard with a trimmer, rub your hands from your chin to your ears to make the hairs stand on end. This way, you'l be able to catch any long hairs and trim them. Just remember to flatten your beard back down before you leave the bathroom.
