Where To Trim A Beard Neckline

Knowing where to trim a beard neckline is something many guys struggle with, especially early in their days of having a beard. Getting this line wrong can leave you with a chinstrap, while getting it right can help your beard look much fuller.

Do NOT trim your beard at your jawline! This is a common mistake and it's MUCH too high for a full beard.

You really want to trim your beard neckline where your head connects to your neck. These additional hairs under your jaw and on your neck will help your beard grow in much fuller.

Getting this line right is important early on, and will only be more dramatic as your beard grows long.

If your beard is short, you can look down and see where your head creases on your neck to get a good baseline but a good rule of thumb is to go just above your adams apple.

Take your time and use a good set of electric beard trimmers to work from the middle to the sides of your neck. When you get to the corners you can square them off, or round them depending on your personal preference of beard style. Don't hesitate to hit us up if you have any specific questions!

As someone who just left service after 21 years... thanks. I needed a tutorial on the basics.

Great video! I've always used the crease that forms when I look down as a guide for where to trim my neckline. I trim a straight line down from the back of my sideburns then slightly round the sharp corner that forms. It's a fool proof way to trim a beard neckline because of natural guides you can use!

Ive had a long beard for a while but ive never really dont any grooming to keep it looking nice. I found a video a while ago on trimming it. But they never really went over the neckline in a clear way. Not sure why it too me so long to just find a video about this specifically because its the area ive always not really known how to trim properly.Thanks for the help.

Great topic! The neckline is probably the most common mistake for new beardsmen

[kevinb]

Great video! I recently trimmed in a rush and screwed my neckline up bad. It is not to the point of shave and restart but it is darn close to a chin strap. My advice is to take your time trimming.

Tell you what I would love to see...

It's a big ask and it would be very hard to do, but, I would love to see you completely shave it and start from scratch, keeping a video diary of your progress back to the length the beard is now...

It would really be informative to see what you do on the journey, what products you use along the way and how you shape it etc etc...

Thanks so much, this makes so much sense why my beard was big in the front and weird looking at the sides. It was all in the neck line, l will try my best to explain this to my barber.

[MrXcbravo]

Yup had barbers do my neck line at the beginning and they kept cutting it short so I had to grow out mines and now doit myself

[harleydad]

Am I really watching this right now? Yes, yes I am. He had me at don't shave at your jaw line. .

[BonyTeam]

Great information, thank you! Your information was clear and well related. If my beard looks half as good as yours I will be very happy!

[ChandlerBing-tk]

The best I love your tips I appreciate it

[The_Immortal_LX]

I never comment ...but can we just take a second to appreciate that tash !, well done sir

[rajathatwar]

I did it, when I started growing Beard. So, unfortunately, I had to trim it off. But, now I know the proper way. So, thank you Sir.

My barber called it box beard but how about different shapes of beard ? I tried to recreate other shape of bear when you make kind of a V neck line and it seems really hard

[truealpha]

Bro I remember when I was in high school I never not had facial hair even now. But I was trimming my beard the clipper I was using fell off so was just the 0 lol I didn't see it until I shaved half my beard off I had to rock the 5oclock shadow and a goatee was so mad great video

I’m lucky enough where my beard growth on my neck ends right above my Adam’s Apple so I don’t have to trim underneath at all with a full beard

How do you comb/brush your beard? I have been combing and brushing in a downward motion through my whole beard down to my adams apple.

Is that what you do, or do you brush down to your chin then from your Adams apple up to your chin?

[brianhyatt]

Simple to understand, I now seen how the hell to do this after years of neck beards. I appreciate it!

[aaronwebb]

I struggle with how to shape the vertical portion of the bottom of the beard!! I always cut in too far I think, and then it looks thinned out

[KAFKUBA]

Your beard has nice curl and structure... mine grows straight and I'm not sure how to deal with it
