How to Blend Your Beard to Your Sideburns

Place a comb at the top of your sideburn, then pull the bottom of the comb outwards to your desired length.

Run the trimmer down the comb, cutting the longer hair.

Continue down the side of the beard, angling the bottom of the comb further away from your face to create a nice blend between the longest and shortest part of your beard.

How to Tidy Stray Beard Hairs

Create a steady support by placing your spare hand below the area that you want to trim. Free-hand with the shape of your beard, using long and confident strokes to remove any stray hairs.

When shaping the bottom of your beard, use the front of the beard as a reference point. Hold the trimmer high up for more control, and trim towards your neck in a pivot motion that follows the natural shape of your jawline.
