However, whether you are on your first beard or not, be aware that the bearded look does require maintenance.

Face shape and beard styles
Before you grow a beard, even if you plan on keeping it short, it’s important to understand what styles will suit your face shape and have a plan for growing it. The shape of the face dictates how to trim a beard.
Shave everything before you start
It is important to shave everything and start with an even surface. In addition to creating the base for your future beard, a close shave allows the hairs to grow evenly and in health. The care needed at this stage is mainly hydration. You need to make sure your skin is in good condition before covering it with hair. A great shaving cream is essential, as it will help reduce irritation from the razor.
How to grow a beard?
Keep in mind that time is the main obstacle between you and a beautiful beard. It takes time to grow a beautiful beard and there are no shortcuts. Beard hair is thick and usually grows disheveled and unevenly. So, at first, your beard will be thicker in some places. And you’ll probably want to scrape, scrub, and even shave all those unruly hairs. Patience is the key! Typically, it takes around four to six weeks for a full beard to appear, so resist the temptation to take out the beard trimmer and give your hairs a chance to fully show. After about 4 weeks, it is recommended to go to a professional barber to shape the new beard. It means trimming and shaping your beard, consider the beard style you want and how it fits your face. The possibilities are endless, but you want to make sure that you go for something that is flattering and strong.
