How to Fade a Beard
So now, you are ready for making a faded beard. Your beard is already trimmed and even. Now, you have to start the process of beard fade by making the perfect combination with the hair on your head.
Step 1
First of all, you have to select a place near the jawline where you see that there are longer beards than the other places. Get your trimmer on your hands and go through the shorter setting. Now, all you have to do is trim the area one inch up or so!
Step 2
For the fade with the beard, after trimming one inch, you have to go a little further. You have to move one more inch up. Before that, shorten your trimmer one more time and clean the area first. Make this line a mark for you and remember not to go below this line!
Step 3
As you are going up, you have to move up inch by inch. First of all, shorten the trimmer again. Now, you have to move another inch up for making the fade perfect. All you need to do is move up and continue the fading process!
Step 4
Mark how low you have started as the whole fading process depends on that. Through the procedure, you have to make the trimmer setting lower little by little and move up in one-inch increments. Don’t stop until you read the hair.
Step 5
Do the same process on the other side of your face. This process is a little long but this is how it works! You have to stop the moving and fading process once your beard hair gets mixed into the hair on your head.
