How to keep your beard sharp between barber visits

Wash and condition it properly

Beard hair is coarser than scalp hair and the skin underneath dries out quickly. Use a gentle cleanser a few times a week rather than daily, and follow with a conditioner or beard oil to keep it soft and reduce itch.

Brush it every day

A daily brush trains the hair to grow in the direction you want and makes the shape your barber set last longer. Brush downward and slightly outward.

Trim the strays, not the lines

At home, only snip individual hairs that stick out past the shape. Avoid moving the neckline or cheek line. A few millimetres too high and the beard looks smaller and the jaw weaker, and it takes weeks to grow back.

• Keep the moustache trimmed clear of the lip.
• Use small scissors for strays rather than clippers.
• If a line is lost, book a Beard Only + Lineup rather than fixing it yourself.

When to see your barber

Every one to two weeks for a lineup, and with every haircut for a full Haircut + Beard so the fade and the beard stay blended as one shape.
