Step 1
Consider growing a full beard. A full beard has been a functional and fashionable method of grooming for centuries. Not only does a well-maintained beard make you look intelligent, but it also provides warmth during cold months. Maintain a beard with a pair of scissors or a trimmer.
-
Step 2
Shave off all facial hair except a patch above your upper lip for a mustache. There are countless styles to wear a mustache and many depend on your face shape as well as your personality. Some keep the mustache thin and trim, while others grow a thick shaggy mustache under their nose.
-
Step 3
Trim the hair on your face and neck except for your chin and mustache for a goatee with an electric trimmer or a pair of scissors. Some men prefer to let the goatee grow out long for added depth, while some keep it at five-o'clock shadow length.
-
Step 4
Groom the sideburns to show off a mustache or a goatee, or just wear interesting sideburns to make a statement. Shave the area around your cheeks except for the strip in front of your ears. Length is the biggest variable with sideburns. Some keep them trim and close to the ear, while some men grow them all the way down to the chin.
-
Step 5
Shampoo your facial hair with a proper grooming shampoo. Lather up your facial hair and actively cleanse it. Rinse the shampoo out for a clean, fresh look and feel.
-
Step 6
Combine looks to invent your own facial grooming style. Trim everything but your neck beard and mustache or grow your sideburns so they meet at the chin like a chin strap. Be creative.
