Short beard: how do you trim and maintain your 3-day beard easily?

A three-day beard adds casual style and character to your face, provided it's properly trimmed and groomed. Quick and easy to maintain, this timeless beard suits all face shapes and occasions. Here is a complete guide to help you take care of your three-day beard.

How do you trim a 3-day beard?

Trimming your three-day beard requires you to follow precise steps to achieve a perfect result. Here is how to do it for each area of your face.

Preparing your beard

Before shaving, it is important to wash your beard with a 3-in-1 shower gel. This step is essential because your beard naturally has a lot of germs and other dirt that can get into your cuts if you cut yourself while shaving. Beard shampoo also helps to moisturise the beard and the skin underneath, while preventing it from drying out.

What's more, getting out of the shower is the ideal time to shave, as the skin's pores are open, allowing better absorption of skincare products and an easier shave. For optimum preparation, you can also use a facial scrub, which will lift the hairs and thoroughly clean the beard and skin, ensuring an impeccable shave.

Trim your beard

Even if the hair is short, a three-day beard can be groomed in the same way as a longer beard. 

Trim your sideburns

Start by following the natural shape of your face and jaw. To easily determine the contours of your sideburns, you can use a straight comb. Place it parallel to the ear. Anything below this line will need to be shaved off with a bikini trimmer or safety razor for greater precision. 

Cleanse your cheeks

It is important to determine the trajectory of your shave. Your beard should not come up too high on your cheeks, but should adapt perfectly to the shape of your face.  The more elongated your face, the higher up on the cheekbones you can leave the beard; if your face is round, leave less beard on the cheekbones and more under the chin.

To make shaving easier, lather beard soap in a bowl. The lather will guide the cut, ensuring that the beard is symmetrical. Simply shave the foam that covers the skin. The lather remaining on the beard allows you to see the demarcation between the shaved and unshaved areas, making it easier to control the shape and height of the beard. 

Maintaining the neck

As a general rule, the neck line should be slightly above your Adam's apple, at about 1 cm. To draw this line, use the lather of the soap and draw a curve from the top of your Adam's apple to the corners of your jaw (or ears) on both sides.

If you're using a straight razor, you can define the line using the tip of the blade. Once you've drawn the curve, shave off all the hair below this line. This will create a clear separation between your beard and your neck.

Trimming unruly hairs

Before you start trimming unruly hairs, it is essential to brush or comb your beard thoroughly. It makes longer hairs stand out and separate them from the rest of the beard. Use a boar bristle brush or a suitable comb to smooth and tidy the hairs in your beard.

To trim stubborn hairs, a pair of precision scissors is recommended. Once you've brushed or combed your beard, identify any hairs that extend beyond the natural line of your beard and trim them with the scissors. Take care not to cut too close to the beard itself to avoid creating irregularities.

Nourish and clean your beard to prevent itching

In order to avoid itching and keep your beard feeling good, it is important to moisturise it every day. Beard oil is ideal for keeping your beard soft and shiny. A few drops of beard oil are all you need to moisturise and nourish your hair. Warm the oil between your palms to make it easier to apply, then spread it all over your beard, starting from the roots. You can use a beard brush to distribute the oil evenly and tame the hairs. 

Make sure you massage the skin underneath your beard for optimum penetration and to activate blood circulation. Massaging also helps to fill in gaps, promoting hair growth through blood circulation. 

And don't forget to wash your beard with 3-in-1 shower gel to prevent itchy beards.

Maintaining the contours

To avoid looking unkempt, it is important to maintain the contours of your beard. Trim your beard about twice a week, depending on how much your hair grows.

Use precision scissors to maintain the length of your beard and moustache, which will keep you looking neat and tidy.

By following these steps, you can easily maintain a short, structured beard. What's more, these tips will also help you incorporate habits into your grooming routine that will improve the density of your beard as well as its appearance.
