Tips for How to Fade Your Beard with Guide Combs | Wahl

Maintain your beard and give your facial hair some style with a fade. This video will show you how to fade your beard with guide combs.

Tools you need:

Step 1: Start with the #3 guide comb to cut the entire beard to your desired length. Cut in the direction of your hair growth to avoid a patchy look.

Step 2: Next, switch to a #1 or #2 guide comb (depending on your length preference) to clean up your beard. Start about 2-inches below your chin and cut towards your Adam’s apple to begin the fade.

Step 3: Switch to (or continue to use) the #2 guide comb. Blend the top and bottom areas of your beard that you previously cut.

Step 4: Once you have your desired beard length, remove the guide comb. Use your trimmer without a guide comb attachment to clean up your look. Remove any stray hairs near your Adam’s apple and sides of your neck.
