How To Shape & Tidy Your Beard Or Moustache

Step 1: Start under your jawline.  Comb against the hair growth to find any stray hairs.  Trim these off with your scissors.

Step 2: Comb your sideburns before using your clippers to tidy them up.  Start with a high guard and gradually reduce the guard to a lower level for a closer cut.

Step 3: Focus on your moustache. You want a consistent length so comb down and then trim with your clippers.  Trim any hairs hanging over your lips by following the contours of your lips.

Step 4: Remove any hairs on your cheeks and above the beard line.

Step 5:  Comb the neckline hairs upwards, then trim down using clippers in the direction of the hair growth.
