How to Groom a Goatee Below the Nose

Grow your goatee in a weekend and change your look.

Goatees are one of the easiest ways for a man to change his style. Whether you opt to crop your hair short, shave your head or sport a rocker-length shag, a goatee can add to your element of cool. There's no need to alter your hairstyle to make a major change to your appearance. Grab your scissors or trimmers instead, and focus on the style benefits of having facial hair.

Things You'll Need

• Small moustache or hair comb
• Scissors or electic trimmers
• Towel
• Talcum powder

Instructions

1. Comb your moustache in a downward motion, making sure there are no tangles.

2. Trim under the nose area with small-point scissors or electric trimmers. Hold the hair flat to your skin with the comb; cut the excess hair that falls under the comb in order to form your desired goatee length.

3. Remove the thickness from your goatee by inserting your comb in an upward motion to lift hair away from the skin. Lighten the bulk by trimming excess hairs wherever necessary.

4. Wipe away excess whiskers with a towel to prevent ingrown hairs or irritation.

5. Apply a light dusting of talcum powder to finish your goatee style.

Tips & Warnings

• For a freehand approach, fine-tune stray hairs using a pair of scissors.

• If you use electrical trimmers, remember the area under your nose is sensitive; apply light pressure.
