This Hidden Mistake WEAKENS your BEARD Impact.

[@hershin]

This is probably the best and most simple beard tip I've ever encountered. I say that as a man who has watched hours and hours of beard videos over the years. Thanks Jeff!

[@dreamteam709]

my name is jeff

[@stevehenkel354]

I’m only a few months into my beard and haven’t done ANY trimming yet. I’m glad I saw this now. Thanks man. 👊🏻

[@metromilo77]

Keep growing mate 🔥

[@THAD364]

Same man! 👊 I couldn't have said it any better. There's days I want to trim, but I always trimmed & failed. The thing I have to ignore is my wife & daughter telling me I look way older & my beard looks like shit... I'm just dealing w/bs. I've been saying, we're men & for that, we're allowed to grow a bomb ass beard. The more hate, the beefier my beard is gonna get girls!

[@arjun._.bbC6]

Ok so I transitioned from a full sideburns to a faded one because full burns on a frizzy black beard on an already wide face, no matter the grooming, looked TOO unkempt and animalistic. It especially gave off the homeless guy feel. Once I started fading, my face looked more within the boundary. I guess a point to be noted that I often have shaved or buzzed sides with a top knot, so my hears are pronounced no matter what.

[@brendonbirch3001]

Totally makes sense I actually really like the contrast between a really tight cut and a bushy side burn - great as always 👍

[@TheAtreiden]

As a bald guy with a beard I've always felt something looked off without sideburns or with them faded. This video is a really good explanation of why.

[@masterdftw4983]

Why is it in every Beard Brand video they always taper the sides and blend it. I 100% agree with you it looks way more natural to keep the hair on the sides.

[@thomascrate]

Great tip, for years I have attempted the perfect fade into a bald head. This makes much more sense and less work. Natural 👍

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

Right!? It makes much more sense than fading it it. And it makes the beard stronger

[@Beardbrand]

Great tips Jeff. My ears are so big they don't even get hidden by a terminal beard. :D -Eric

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

Gotta make the ears bigger!!!!

[@epicadventureturtle1363]

I always went back to a really short beard because I thought long beards make me look weird for some reason. This was literally it, keeping the sideburns longer fixed everything.

[@onkarvigy]

He has some sensible and useful tips especially for moustache. My moustache is also too overpowering that I used to trim or undercut and used to end up shaving!! After watching his videos I stopped trimming or undercutting and just training it to go sideways. It is working out very well for me!! Atleast I like what I see in the mirror!! Another Idea I got from his beard is how he (often) merges the ends of his moustache into his beard. I have started following it which I like!! It is good for those who don't like handlebar moustache or bored with it!! Another tip he gave was don't trim neckline repeatedly - just do it once. Again it's is all coming together for me!! Before watching his videos I did trim my moustache peaks a little since it was looking too thick. However now after a month with the ends of my moustache having gotten bigger I felt I should not have trimmed my peaks!!

[@whocares4700]

that was the tip of the year so far! Thanks man!!

[@yahusrevus]

Right on, man! I don't have "big ears"... But, I've noticed this phenomenon too and stopped "blending" my 'burns about a year ago.

Great Tip Jeff about trimming around the ears , I totally understand and I see that big time.

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

it's really a missed perspective!

[@BoomBoom_325]

Your beard is the example I gave to my barber(when i visited him), only been growing for 2/3 months, bit its a start thanks for all the info (every video).

[@arc9878]

Amazing tip, it totally makes sense.

[@metromilo77]

0 dislike here! As expected, Jeff. Everyone loves your beard, mate!

[@keefyboy]

Also, not tapering or blending the sides of the beard into your head hair is soooo much easier to maintain. It's really easy to mess up a fade or taper.

[@気にしない-o8q]

wow great advice

[@NorsePJ]

That works fine for people with most ear types but on me, if looking straight at my face front on, you can hardly see my ears as it is. So for me, it's actually better to tapper the hair and make it more flat unlike yours. I tend to do more side on profile photos otherwise it seems like I don't have ears. But your point is definitely valid for most people. PS: That's an absolute fantastic beard you have!

[@michaelhalstead64]

Dude, I’ve been wondering about this. My sides are already kind of weak and the barber always blends it. I’ve been wanting him to leave the sides. Thanks.

[@Sanjaymverma]

And thanks for giving this awesome methods and tips, it really works for me.

[@ShaneLindie]

Quite a unique insight. It does make a lot of difference to the esthetics of the beard indeed.

[@Eyore82]

Extremely interesting, and perfect timing! I'm heading to the barber tomorrow.

[@paulfasse8032]

Totally agree. Excellent point and very critical on the beard shape and overall look. Well done 👍🏻

[@n1les]

Hi, I’m new in trying to grow a beard and I wanted to ask. I normally wash my face twice a day with L’Oréal Paris Men Expert hydra sensitive soothing daily face wash, then use L’Oréal men expert Vita Lift anti aging daily moisturizer. All over my face from my forehead to the bottom of my neck... Want to ask when your growing a beard (mine is about a centimeter by now) do you stop using cleansing washes on your facial hair side and moisturizers? You only use beard shampoo and conditioner and beard oil and balm? Meaning from forehead to nose normal cleaning routine and face products and from checks to neck just beard products only? No more moisturizers where beard growth is? Guess beard oil replaces that? Thanks :)

[@theheband9777]

Great tip. I'm going to watch for it now.

[@adambellesheim5706]

Exactly what I’m dealing with!!!! Thanks Jeff!!

[@NoBSBeardReviews]

Watching this video after I just faded my beard into my bald head. 🤣 I’ll try your recommendation for bald heads with a beard.

[@oxfordgambino8947]

And to be honest it's way much easier to maintain than doing the fade. It works for me.

[@JungleScene]

@@oxfordgambino8947 agreed. its a pain in the ass to fade your sideburns once/twice a week if youre keeping your head bald as much as possible.

[@mickaelcousseau8749]

Great tips Jeff It confirms something I started to see but I wasn't able to put the right words to it

[@xjr1618x]

Time to have those sideburns grow. I just had a fade cut and went home and faded the side of my sideburns, lol. It does look strange now that I saw your video. Now I'm self conscious about it, thanks. Lol

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

Lol it’s ok.

[@Nickreds20]

Awesome, dude 👏. Thats so on point. I've watched a lot of beard grooming in youtube; some from beardbran too, and the barbers insisit on trimming the sideburns too much and go super long in the chin and jaw area. I never really dig what they're doing. Like you said, they do fading in all that area to blend it with the hair cut a little, but it looks kinda wrong, like not organic. So its great that you point those things out, so barbers stop going too hipster on the beards and start going for a more even and natural look, sort of clint eastwood beard in 'the good, the bad and the ugly' kind of style. I think that a waay better and manly beard.

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

yeah it's wild. it's like an echo chamber for barbers some times!

Im bald and my barber tapers my beard. I've always thought it looked great and I always got compliments on how bad ass my beard was. But I do like the cut down from the ear look you described. I'll give that a try next time.

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

I think you misunderstood. It’s not about the cut down. It’s about the size of the sideburns equal to the bottom of the jaw. The cut down is just a result of this.

[@martinpeterhughes9165]

Absolutely correct Jeff I get that about the sideburns your right , weird

Would you recommend tapering the sideburns if you have a shaved head?

[@martinpeterhughes9165]

I hope I'm not stepping on anybody's toes by answering your question. No I'm actually thinking of Shaving my head hair because I'm receding and I just can't do anything with it. One thing I would say is, stop your sideburns at the top of your ear . Sorry again for answering your question that was obviously to Jeff Buoncristiano. Sorry Jeff

Crazy how pushing on your sideburn changed your whole face in a second.

I’m 19 trying to grow my beard out. My hairs are about 1 inch long but is curly and kinda patchy. Gonna try not to shave for awhile and see what I can do. I do have beard shampoo and a comb and brush and beard oil so hopefully it can become fuller and grow more. Just taking forever since it’s curly :/

I used to love my long beard but I’ve recently learnt that shorter is so much better. Less maintenance and looks so much cleaner.

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

Yep. Shorter is better imo

[@yaddi3434]

Good tip. My beard pattern grows well behind my jaw bone under my ear and it grows straight back. That is the challenge for me bc I either have to round that off and add that to the minimal shave clean up every few days or let it get long enough to let gravity help it switch directions. Not sure if my description makes sense. I shaved to stubble this week anyway. I get annoyed with the whole beard maintenance.

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

So does mine

[@marianbalan5130]

hello Jeffrey. i want to ask something but since you can t see my face/ beard it s pretty hard to say what to do about it. anyway i will try to describe. before anything i want to say that i m 22 atm and this may or may not affect the size, thicness etc. i started to grow a full beard since i was 18. my facial hair started to grow pretty nice started with the age of 15-16 or so. over the years (between 18-22) i tried different styles. it looks good(ish), but sometimes i just hate it.. i feel like it s not thic enogh. i wanted to shave it off and not grow it again but i feel like my beard brings me confidence?! (i know this sounds stupid tho, maybe i m too childish about it). in my head, in order to make it look better i had to keep growing it, may be wrong tho. i guess with the age i will be able to have a different beard, i m impatient (i know it). i hope this message won t piss you off 😅 and thank you very much for your attention. great tips btw, you are awesome. cheers

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

Thickness shmickness... doesn’t matter as much as you think. It’s about cleanliness and attention

[@JLBJLB123]

Maybe ask if you fiddle or touch your beard all day? If so touching it will make it looks wiry and stringy. What is your routine?

[@marianbalan5130]

@@JLBJLB123 it s not that i m touching my beard all day long. sometimes yes. sometimes i find my hands in the beard even without noticing. i wash my beard every day (using some soap or liquid beard wash). i dry it a little bit and after apply the beard oil. i also comb it before and after. as a option i have an electric comb that is for beard. i can use it to make my beard very nice and straight also it becomes smooth in the same time. that s my routine. nothing to complicated

[@alexanderc7213]

Great insight. Though I wear glasses so not sure how this hack would help. But I'll try it out for sure.

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

[@alexanderc7213]

@@jeffreybuoncristiano LOL. I just looked in the mirror and realized it has no effect. It definitely will help the less hair I get on top. It's funny how, you may not change up the beard in any way, but if you get a different hairstyle, bam, it changes the face perception.

[@markot1990]

I grew my beard for about 4 months everything seemed fine but suddenly my beard started to feel very greasy and if I put a bit less beard oil, then it felt super dry. I don't know what went wrong. I used quality products, washed my beard with beard wash once or twice a week, conditioned it and everything. It just didn't feel right. I shaved it to about 5mm now and maybe I'll start growing it again and see what happens.

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

Probably inconsistency and maybe the products you using. Maybe twice a week is too much

[@NinjaChoke]

i have curly hair and really curly beard, which is not suitable for combing. and it is very difficult to trim it to a good shape. especially my moustache which becomes curly too asthey grow. is disconnecting them will help to grow more of moustache?

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

Curly can be easier to trim. Like how black persons hair is trimmed.

[@mattgiunt]

Great tip. I realized looking at this close up vid of your beard that your beard hair is the consistency of regular hair. You are so lucky you dont have to grow it to long lengths to get that fullness look.

[@weriesblack1375]

Question would it still work with bald guys because you have hair to blend with your beard i dont if i just stop it without fading it looks weird. Am i wrong?

[@johnthyen5599]

I think it depends on The shape of your face and texture of that hair front of your ears is different if it is Gray.

[@Joa287]

What about edging the sideburns? The hair that curls out of your sideburn into the ear? Trim it so the sideburn looks straight and cleaned up or just leave it and let it curl?

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

Mine curls.

[@martinpeterhughes9165]

You're right Jeff it does make your face look kind of strange

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

thank you

[@baz9653]

As a bald man I'm not a fan of long sideburns, it just don't look right . I think blending the sideburns into the skin on the head just looks more streamlined . A good example of this (besides myself) is Rich Cooper from Entrepreneurs and cars .

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

I hear you. That’s why I USED to think that. But I disagree fully. Like I said it doesn’t look right, but you have to try it to see what I mean. And I looked him up, and this guy IS KINDA doing what I’m saying but he’s doing the front heavy thing. Which i mentioned in this video. But other than that, I think he’s actually doing a disservice to his style by blending, but to reiterate, it’s an “ah-ha” moment that is a once you see it, you “get it”. But until you do, you’ll stay the same, and that’s ok. But hopefully you’ll see the light.

[@baz9653]

@@jeffreybuoncristiano I think we will agree to disagree BUT , i do believe that if you have a full head of hair like yourself then having long side burns is a really good look, i just don't like it on me personally although i have seen some bald men pull off the the long side burns with no blending and it looks really good . I think it's more of an individual thing than just saying all men look better with one particular style , you rock it well so keep doing your thing !

Hi Jeff,i follow all day by day but the problem is that on every weekend when I do work for shape, litte cut and trim then my beard and moustache shape going to changed, it's going to be confusing, so then it's take time for growing beard and moustache,pls advice me, Thanks

[@Sanjaymverma]

Hi Jeff, i just say that when i trim and cut beard after one week then always style changes for ex. it going short, chick curve shape changes, so what I do so that it's looks same same as before.

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

@@Sanjaymverma OK I think i understand. well, it sounds like you're trimming your beard inconsistently. i would start using guards on your clippers to get a consistent trim. if you're beard is longer than guard length, i would suggest going to a barber for a while until you figure out what kind of style works best for you. sadly this often takes a while. it's about how you cut it. you have to cut it consistently, it's not the beards fault.
