How to Trim Your Beard in Accordance with Your Short Hair
- Figure out your face shape: The best way to figure out what beard and hair style will suit your face is to figure out the shape of your face. Many styles only compliment one particular face shape and not styling in accordance to that could lead to disastrous results.
- Decide whether you want to have a stubble or whether you want to go in for a short, medium or long beard and whether you want to sport a moustache along with it.
- Having decided the length you want to keep your beard at, invest in a trimmer. Trimmers usually come with different settings where different lengths of hair can be trimmed at different settings.
- Trim your beard hair once in 2 weeks if you want to maintain a short beard, once in 4 weeks if you want to maintain a medium length beard and once in 2 months if you want to maintain a long beard.
- Firstly, use a comb to detangle the beard: detangling the beard is very important as the hair is sensitive and can become prone to breakage.
- Trim your mustache well, using side clips so as to trim any hair that comes above your lips.
- Fade the hair on the neck and the cheeks.
- To give your beard a more natural finish use scissors for more detailing.
- When attempting a fade or trimming the underside, always stretch out the skin.
- Always trim your beard when dry, trimming a wet beard could result in you trimming more hair than actually required.

#18: Undercut With Messy Top and Short Beard
An undercut with messy top and short beard has a very boyish charm to it and can help one look younger than their age. The undercut shifts the focus on the hair on top of the head which can be left to do whatever it feels like. The messiness of the look is the reason the look is attached with a boyish charm and combing the look with a short beard will accentuate the facial features and bring out the more prominent features present.
#19: Short Sides with Messy Textured Hair With Trimmed Beard Design
Short sides with messy textured hair with trimmed beard design is very much in the same league as the undercut with messy top and short beard. The only difference in this and the above look is in the length of the beard. The trimmed beard lets you keep a particular length of your beard which takes away the boyish charm and replaces it with a more responsible and sensible look.
