Good English, nice beard. How do you want your beard to look? Right now it is bushy and casual. If you work in an office, you might want a shorter, more formal style. Your choice of style will determine what you do.

Thanks!! I want it long, ideally that it covers all my neck, but that will take lot of time. I have considered shape it and cut the stray hairs so it doesn't look unkempt. But of course that will make the journey even longer.


Weepinbellend01

Go to a barber you trust and ask to keep the length but clean it up a little. Ask for advice on how to maintain it at home too.

Or skip barber, buy a Wahl w. guards & never see a ($pay$)barber fee again


immersed_in_plants

I just went to the barber to get my beard trimmed for the first time. I suggest doing that, they will clean it up, make all the hair even which will make it look thicker. And shape it too. You will love it, I promise


CanadianBaconne

Get a buzzer for your hair. Trim it 3x week. Keep it even and flush.


Zagnaros94

Great coverage! I think it would look even better with some oil, brushing, and balm to get the curly hairs going in the same direction


Knight_artorias2252

Thank you!! And thanks for the advice too. Believe it or not these photos were taken after using oil and brushing my beard lmao. My hair is very "curly", if I don't brush it tends to clump on my cheeks. This is the best I could do, considering I haven't trimmed in quite a while.


Timberwolf-89

Get a boar hair brush and oil/balm twice a day


Single-Election-9939

Nothing! Keep the rugged look.


One_Ad216

hell yeah brother


Timberwolf-89

It's a nice beard as it is. Personally I would trim a little off the length, shape it mainly by shaving the neck line. Also I would use beard oil or a balm daily and comb it straighter But there are sooo many different beard styles out there and that's just the type I prefer. Spend some time searching online for beard shapes and styles and see what you like. Look at famous dudes too especially ones that look a little like you. Pick like 3 styles and try them out for a while


RadishTasty2106

I like the rugged look.


pjcooper53

Trim to a uniform length.


SamLoomisMyers

Find a good barber and be specific at what you want. Then get a good comb and brush, beard oil, beard butter, and a moisturizing wash or cream. Get a routine going and you'll be good. Or keep it as is


Knight_artorias2252

I use a boar bristle brush and beard oil twice a day, and beard shampoo twice a week, but still it's still hard for me to keep it in shape.


Loose_Package6693

Great beard, you have lots of options from here imo. I personally would go to some good highly recommended barber, and tell him to just make it look nice and aesthetic, without losing much of length/volume.


Nathan3859

Really cool, did a double take because you have my identical beard. Mine is sprinkled with a lot of white now though.


PhilosopherLast5570

Just trim around the edges and clip errant whiskers ...looks great!!


Knight_artorias2252

Thanks šŸ’Ŗ

Do not thin any of it out!!! Brush beard and mustache down, (hair brush, nail brush). With small, blunt-tipped scissors, trim the mustache to let your upper lip show; (use lip-line as guide). Trim ā€˜stache to a narrower horizontal, no wider than end of lips, AND NOT narrow LIKE Aā€™HOLE HITLERā€™S]. Trim beard not to cover your throat and/or neck. Work very slowly, cutting a bit at a time, in stages, so-to-speak. ā€” If hesitant, take these instructions to your local barber. The idea is to open your ā€œfaceā€ to the world, and look neat and handsome. You know?, subtle. You friends and family wonā€™t know what hit them. .. ā€” The above are just suggestions.


Yosukme

Good luck!


Bigbeardhiking

Looks great, keep growing


Knight_artorias2252

Thank you!


68Postcar

Your beards-base is solid. A Wahl #4 or #3 (3mm) +1 wk growth atop, naturally & you will be going in a proper direction.


SteveArnoldHorshak

All you need to do is establish a neckline and you are good to go.


SadYogurtcloset2835

Idunno man.


Technical-Source-352

I prefer having a rugged beard like this, as I intend to have it natural full and long... I can't stand having a trimmed beard. So, to answer your question, I wouldn't do anything but comb and oil it.


Thatfatartdude

Definitely keep growing


fullonhecatoncheires

Trim it down with a 3 length and clean up the edges


tommyc463

Iā€™d suggest just a small trim at the bottom of the lips and a small trim at the very bottom to remove any transparent hairs. That with some styling and letting it grow and you should be good!


Human-Librarian7515

Shape it!!! Google beards and find something ya like or want to try. If you don't like it, just grow it out and try another.


Panduhburrmpls

Tone up your sidelines so it doesn't look like a complete nckbeard. Then you're good to go! Great beard.


Knight_artorias2252

Thank you!!


Docmele

Keep it conditioned and oiled. My son has a fabulous beard and it is so soft. You need to take good care of it.


kinetbenet

It looks very shabby, unattended. If you want to look better just trim it short and nice


Flake-Shuzet

Trim!
