[@michaelhromi9884]

@@DanCBearded 😂 Looks good tho! You managed to pull through the anxiety of possibly dropping the clippers. I do all my touch ups with scissors due to that fear. I’ve dropped them while trimming in the past. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m going for more of the wild man style when going without heat, so I haven’t had my sideburns trimmed in over a year. 😳 I’ve learned how to dial them in on the days that I use heat, but am actually alright with wild burns on my natural, curly routine.

You're in my brain Dan. I just did a massive 2 inch trim on my beard. Looks way fuller, but i definitely need some adjustment time. Your title scared me a bit too

[@SantaTomSmith]

This was the most nerve-racking video I've watched in a while. I love the advice of going in confident. I'm not quite that confident yet, but teaching like this gives me a little more each time I watch them. Turned out great. Can't tell you how much I appreciate you, brother, like many out here.

doing great on that trimming ill have to use your technique when i grow back my beard. sorry i havent been on your channel in a few weeks. been busy with work and going to bed even earlier than usual. but im still watching your videos when i can

[@DanCBearded]

Totally understand and glad to see your comment!

[@stephenshelton4267]

I have a beard that I more-or-less allow to grow uncut but I do handle the sideburns down to around the bottom of the ears by cutting them with a 1/2" clipper guard otherwise it sticks out and does weird tjings.

[@DanCBearded]

It’s a wild part, that’s for sure!

[@bluecollarbearded987]

Nice demonstration on the trimming, I have the same issue with the sideburns trying to curl and neither side grows at the same rate, so an occasional trim like you just did really helps achieve the balance most guys look for .. thanks for a great video Dan!

[@DanCBearded]

I am really happy with the results and how it settles

[@mikeh2373]

I wish I waited to trim my beard one more day lol. I trimmed my side’s yesterday although wish I saw this before but I’m pretty happy with it. My face is definitively thinner. Appreciate all you do Dan C.

[@DanCBearded]

I’m glad it sounds like it turned out well Mike!

[@jumpmaster_edc664]

Awesome trim video and the beard and stache look great. I 100% agree with the take less than you think and style it over a few days then trim again as needed. Less is definitely more when it comes to trimming facial hair.

[@DanCBearded]

Less is more!

[@Ottobon]

Respect. I don't want to dwell on it too much but know how nerve racking this can be. I like that you opted to start right hand cross over makes sense whether you use right hand or just start left (or none dominant) side in general as conservatively as possible, trying to match detail with less dominant hand/side AFTER always seems to be asking for trouble

[@DanCBearded]

For sure! Chasing with less than optional coordination is dangerous

[@ardenmahrle6351]

Good Afternoon, Dan, I think trimming the sideburns like you did even with the long beard is the better look. The longer sideburns never seem to lay right. I think I have them all set for the day when I leave for work, but later they just seem to curl back and look unkept. I just trimmed mine on Friday night. Thanks for the video, Dan and as always your beard looks super. Arden

[@DanCBearded]

Agreed fully!

[@jtsteve]

Nailed it Dan! The end of last year I started using a light balm on mustache and sides, it has allowed me to try to grow out. Been controlling sides with balm and heat. I get some hairs that tail back behind my ear but I’ve been letting it go. Longest, biggest it’s been yet in my 2 year journey. Haven’t touched it since February trying to make it thru at least August hopefully into fall before another touch up. Looks really good Dan, I think this will help a lot of people🍻🍻🍻

[@DanCBearded]

Dude, that’s awesome! I couldn’t do it anymore

[@JoseRodriguez-gn3xl]

Hi Dan, for me trimming my beard is the most stressful part of growing a beard, last month I trimmed my beard and I wanted the end of my beard round and it ended square but I remember that you said stop and comeback next day for continue trimming, but I decided to wait couple months to try it again and make my beard round this time.really stressful, Dan you did fantastic have a wonderful day

[@DanCBearded]

You will rarely regret waiting

[@leosigman7239]

Interesting to see you approach your bulky sides from the back. Never would have occurred to me. Front, or top, but never back!. Mustache also well done. I’d been looking forward to this video for a couple weeks. Worth the wait!

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks Leo!! I approach that trim from the back because it lets me get a clear path to only what’s sticking out. Not taking any of the bulk, which would be more risky attacking from the front

[@jordanjones_529]

Nice work Dan! Just had my 3-month beard "reset" (Kinda hard to really call it a trim if not even 1/16" was taken off). Kinda had the same problem with the "poof" on the sides so went and got haircut and my beard reset. I go to a barber because my hands shake so bad I can't do a straight line (I screwed up trimming the mustache on the lip line a month ago and it was crooked.) Here's to continuing the journey!

[@DanCBearded]

Cheers to continuing!

[@talisitiger1]

Great video and demonstration! Obviously I don’t wear a long beard, but the sides can be a cumbersome area at any length. This is very informative!

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks miles!

[@Minister_ronbrown]

Thankyou for the mustache trim tip. My corners creep into my mouth when I'm eating, and I have been trying to figure out the best way to trim that without cutting my mouth or taking off too much.

[@DanCBearded]

Let me know if this works when you try!

[@mrgoodbar216]

The 3 way mirror is a game changer once you get use to it especially if you cut your own hair

[@DanCBearded]

[@ryszardrabuszko50]

I did a side trim and left the front alone. I was happy at the end. I was nervous at first but happy with result.

[@DanCBearded]

Glad to hear it!

[@jbgetsyawrecked]

Been waiting for this one, specially after this being what I brought up during beard advice live. I definitely was doing more clipper through that area till this year, so I’m still feeling out what full length on the sides will do and if it’ll blend well. I’m kinda determined to work with it through the end of the year to grow past old trimming habits and see where I’m at. This is helpful as a good example of what I might can explore when the time comes but I definitely will feel out when the time is right. I have my days where the sides drive me crazy, but I’ve also gotten better at getting them to work for me. I notice I have to go between methods. One day the round brush may be best but too many days in a row and it’s worse. I’ve been going between round brush, heated brush and just blow dryer with boars hair brush. The combo seems to tame better than any one method day after day. Once I know I’m filled out though, I’ll circle back here if I’m still getting bothered. Tough call but I like the subtle adjustments to avoid any massive emotional mistakes and big changes that will take long periods of time to correct. This is also a good example of the journey we’re on. Dan was probably against this for a time but in this season, it’s what’s best for where he’s at. It’s important to enjoy the journey and love our beard in each season.

[@DanCBearded]

Spot on in so many ways! Especially styling aspects working for some days and then just out of nowhere NOT working the same. I have that happen all the time. Then I shift to something similar but just different enough

[@jumpmaster_edc664]

Are you going to do some styling videos after the trim to show how your styling has changed with the trim if it does at all?

[@DanCBearded]

I’ll see what I can do! There isn’t much of a change though

[@christophermitzel746]

Looking to get my first beard trim soon and I'm not sure if I should oil and straighten my beard before going. Don't trust myself enough to do my own yet tbh. Thanks for the help.

It’s been INSANE this early summer

[@BigBaldandBeardiful]

Dan, when you do your trims are they immediately after you've finished styling your beard for the day, or maybe 30 mins later, 2 hrs later, half the day? How long should we let our beards set after styling before we tackle a trim? Thanks for the amazing demo!! Smooth as ever!! 👊😉

[@DanCBearded]

I trim later in the day once all of the oil has absorbed and style has settled in

[@jellyspears]

I've said before, I can't trim my own beard. But I always get nervous with those areas and someone trims them. I always worry if I should be trying to grow them longer or what. But they get funky when they get longer.

[@DanCBearded]

Do you have a pretty good barber you trust?

[@jellyspears]

@@DanCBearded yeah I find them here and there and use them sparingly until I'm comfortable. Long story short, I found one I really liked them they moved so I had to find a new one. She's done great though!

[@jme5103]

Hey, Dan. Thanks for the video! I share in your struggle. Just wondering, do you recommend trimming upward with the trimmer? Also, if you were to take bulk away from the mustache, what technique would you recommend? Thanks very much. Ronald from New York

[@DanCBearded]

Hey Ronald! I do not recommend going up. Too many variables that could go wrong. For taking bulk out of the mustache, just recommend using scissors in layers. I if I ever do it, I’ll make a video!

[@whiskersnwhisky4728]

THE WORST part of my beard. I hate the way it looks, but equally afraid to try and fix it. You just gave me a confidence boost. Thanks Dan!

It’s either time to invest in learning yourself and give it a try, or… just keep pushing through to the yeard with 6 more months of no trimming. You will never really regret waiting
