You are looking for a “casual” look, this requires more care than you might expect for its name.
In this article we will give you some tips on how to care for a short beard, since, although it may not seem like it, it requires a technique and care equal to or greater than some that are long and bushy.
We want to make sure that you know how to take care of it properly, because it is one thing to have it and quite another to wear it as it should be! The first thing to keep in mind to get a groomed short beard is that you need to have the necessary utensils on hand. Not just anything is enough! So let’s start with-
How to care for a short beard?
A trimmer and a special wide-bristle brush or comb. You can take a look at various Beard Brushes available online these days , which provides a spectacular result in detangling and caring for short beards.
But above all, your beard needs you to hydrate it, so that it is in an optimal state, ready to be operated. For this, we recommend one of our beard oils.

How to trim a short beard?
Depending on your facial physiognomy, opt for one type of cut or another, since not all of them will fit equally well to the shape of your face.
If you don’t know all the short beard types to choose from, here is more information to help you decide.
And if now you have it clear, let’s start cutting!
Adjust your trimmer according to the length
Before you start tweaking your style with the razor, you have to adjust the trimmer according to the length you want to take. Begin trimming carefully , paying special attention to getting all the hair to roughly the same length. In case you want to highlight certain areas more, be careful not to go overboard and do not leave parts that are too long.
Profile with care
Outline the chin line and sideburns with meticulous detail. It is very important that these lines, which help to more or less frame your face, are consistent with the rest of the beard. Short beard owners should use skin care products like gentle cleansers, exfoliators, and moisturizers to keep their skin and beard healthy. By the way, have you thought about your mustache? When the mustache begins to be too long, it gets into our mouths and can be uncomfortable and unsanitary. That is why you must take care of it in the same way as the rest of your facial hair.
When you finish the trimming work, look at yourself in the mirror from all possible angles and help yourself with another auxiliary mirror if you consider it necessary. When you have a short beard, it is easy to get it irregular or even with a shear. Custom skin care boxes for short beards can help to keep facial hair looking healthy and groomed, while also protecting it from the elements. That is why you should not trust yourself and you should review each side of the face to check that it has been perfect.
Clean your beard
First of all, you should clean it, so that the hairs that you have trimmed do not get stuck or tangled in it. For this, you can use a beard soap that will give you a very pleasant refreshing touch after touch-ups.
Embalming with a specific product
Second, the key is to embalm it with a specific product so that it is soft, flavored and tasty to the touch. We have various natural beard oils with different fragrances so you can choose the one you like the most, although we also recommend that you ask your partner, if you have one, which scent is most attractive to him. Styling tips for a short beard include trimming it regularly, using a beard oil or balm, and brushing it daily.
Myth: bigger beards are better
A lot of men think that the bigger your beard, the more masculine you are. But the truth is that as soon as a hair comes out of a follicle on your face, you already have facial hair. The length and density of your beard do not determine your manhood.
So don’t let the charlatans put you off, they have no idea! Wear your beard however you want and with confidence in yourself.
