Beard Maintenance Tips For All Beard Types
Whether you’re looking for a new beard style, or tips on how to freshen up your current look our simple guides are here to help. Complete with recommendations to find the product suited to your needs.
STUBBLE
There’s a fine balance between designer stubble and scruffy stubble. To keep you on the right side, follow our best tips for maintaining a perfectly groomed look.
Once your stubble has grown out slightly, use a razor for the cheek lines. You can use a cartridge razor or shave razor depending on what feels most comfortable for you.
Then grab a beard & stubble trimmer that will allow you to trim nice and close like the Aqua Blade, which will leave 2mm of stubble. You can adjust the length of the comb attachment to match the length of stubble you require.
Don’t forget to clean off the blade when you’re finished and rinse clean to keep it hygienic and working to the best possible performance.

SHORT BEARD
If you’re looking for slightly more than stubble but not quite a full beard, let us guide you through easy steps to getting this look just right.
Tidy up cheeks with a close trimmer or a razor. If desired, you can fade the beard in to your hair line.
For the beard, you’re looking to achieve a length of around 1cm, so using a trimmer such as the 2 in 1 Vacuum Stubble & Beard Trimmer with the no.3 attachment comb would be ideal. This will also catch any shavings, so you can keep the tidying up afterwards to a minimum.
Upkeep is key for this style. Depending on your hair growth you may need weekly or fortnightly trims to maintain the short beard style. You’ll also want to keep the skin around the beard hydrated with a good moisturiser to keep you looking fresh. Watch the video for a full tutorial.

MID BEARD
If you’re not in to the full beard look, a mid beard could work for you. First, you’ve got to know how to get it and how to trim it in to shape.
This is somewhere between a short beard and a full beard. Most of the length will sit below the chin. For this style of beard, you’ll need to make sure you have enough hair coverage to make it work. Grow your beard out to the desired length, making sure you only touch up the cheeks if you need to.
After you’ve grown the initial length and weight, you can use a trimmer to make sure it doesn’t get unruly.
This style entails maintaining the beard hair well to keep it in check. We recommend shampooing the beard a couple of times a week using a beard shampoo. Beard oil can also be used as often as required to keep it well moisturised. If your hair has a natural curl, you can use additional product that you would use for your hair to add some weight and extend the length of your beard.

BIG BEARD
Don’t assume that big beards require little beard maintenance. There’s plenty of things you can do to keep your style in top condition and looking sharp.
Once you’ve made the decision to grow a full beard, it will take time to reach your desired length. To combat the itchy stage of beard growth, use moisturiser and beard oil to replenish the skin and hair.
When you’ve got to your intended beard length, you can shape and tidy according to what suits your face. To do this, you’ll need a comb and a good trimmer. You can use the comb to keep a consistent angle whilst you use the trimmer to take care of those stray hairs. Watch the video for a full tutorial.
