Ten Tips For That ‘Neatly Trimmed’ Look (NAPS)—If you want to look your best this holiday season, here’s how to tame those beards, mustaches, and goatees. Neatly trimmed facial hairs are a big trend this year and will make a good impression on your friends, co-workers and relatives. So before the turkey is carved and the stockings are hung,get a fresh holiday look by using these easy 10 Beard-Trimming Tips: 1. Change your look—gradually. Add some detailing to a goatee or shorten your sideburns an inch for a subtle, but noticeable change. 2. To shape a beard, follow the roundness of your face. If your beard is too long, it will look like you're hiding behind thehair. 3. Got a goatee? For rounder faces, maintain a longer goatee to create the illusion of a longerface. For longer faces, keep a shorter goatee for the look of a more oval face. 4. Electric trimmersare always better than scissors for trimming. Scissors aren’t nearly as precise as the electric trimmers in maintaining an even length for facial hair. 5. The best time to use a trimmer is right after you shower. Hair is free of dirt and oil, which makes it easier to trim and shape yourfacial hair. 6. Prior to trimming, it’s good practice to comb your beard or mustache in the direction in which the hair grows. Hairs should lie in the same direction and in the longest position for an accurate trim. 7. For beards, use the trimmer to follow your jawline, moving toward your chin. For mustaches and goatees, begin at the top of the hair, moving in a downward direction. 8. Use different trimmer settings for different parts of your beard. Use a heavier setting for the main part of your beard, then switch to lighter settings where hair is thinner. 9. Battling dry, itchy skin? Get baby soft by using glycerin-based products instead of ordinary foams and creams and trade in your wet blade shaverfor an electric one. 10. For holiday travelling, cordless trimmers are rechargeable, as well as small and easyto pack.
