could you do a video on how to trim/ shape and grow out a curly beard? lots of us have very curly beards and it’s a lot more challenging to keep under control
Your tips helps massively! However, after having a beard for over 10 years, I finally went to an actual men’s barber specialized in beards. After an hour of a full cut, trim and shave I wondered why I never had done this. Amazing experience.
This. Go to the barber for a regular beard trim and pay attention to how they trim your beard before butchering it yourself.
That is excellent. These tips are in no way meant to replace what an actual barber should be able to do with your beard. But they do help you keep it tidy in between visits.
I go once a month and I can keep the shape in-between I keep my beard tight to my cheeks and don't have my mustache connected to my beard
I want to do this but I don't know any actual barbershops near me. They'll advertise as a barber shop but it's just like the chains (sport clips, etc) that have a revolving door of girls fresh out of beauty school that probably won't be there next time you go in.
How much on average is a beard trim from a barber? I see people pay 75 or 120 and they draw an outline to make a fade and I’m not a fan.. I just want a clean natural look with very little if any fade… also how does it take an hour for a beard trim?
Just trimmed mine with your guidance, been growing mine out for a while and was looking a bit wild, not really knowing what I’m doing, but this has helped massively. Also perfect timing just before Xmas. Great video dude 😎 ✂️
Happy to help! Thanks for the feedback!
@@Hairydude I think you’ve commented on the wrong video dude, this video is in relation to “how to trim your beard” not “how to grow a beard” 🤣
@@Hairydude that would be giving confidential information out, I can neither confirm or deny.. why you getting so hairy!?!?! 🤣
Dude! Don’t leave us again
Lol… I’ll do my best
I’m on year two and I’m getting better and better at running out a proper beard. Thanks and welcome back.
You should have used the zero blade that brio provided you. I just picked up the V2 and love this clipper. Used the zero blade to outline and didn't even need to go in with a razor after.
I would like to see a video on how to fade a beard on the side using those clippers and the zero blade.
Will you also do a short beard tutorial in the near future?
This might be the best freehand beard trimming tutorial on the internet. Kudos to you, sir. As you mentioned, scissors can be very handy, and I find them especially useful for the moustache and back of jaw areas.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
wanted a beard just like this. went to a barber here in washington and the guy basically did opposite of everything you said. he ruined a 12 month old stache and my long beard. i want to come to your barbershop. please open one in seattle area.
You have a tremendous amount of impact on men across the world, but you probably already know that. Whenever I get questions about my beard I just link your GQ video which has been a tremendous help for at least 1 1/2 years now. Happy to have found your channel and this extended cut now. I'd unironically buy your products if shipping weren't 39.95 USD. Unlucky for european students. So I guess liking, sharing and commenting for the YT algorithm boost is what I can do to help instead lol. Thanks dude!
Hands down the best beard guidance. Love this dude.
This could not have come at a better time. I’ve been growing out my beard and was telling myself I’ll give it a trim tomorrow.
Good luck !
Just tried this and damn if it isn’t the perfect technique. Thanks!
It's always tomorrow for me lol
Finally another Matty Conrad video!could you do a video for guys (like me jajaja) who have patchy beards and want to let it grow, what are your recommendation and if you can use a model for explain it that would be great, thank bro
Great techniques articulated, especially the tilting of the head to the side to ovoid to much clipping, ace 😊
I’ve recently started trimming my own beard. And feel like I do a pretty good job. But with a few little tweaks I learned watching this video, I feel like I’ll be able to take my beard to the next level. Nice vid man. New subscriber.
Thanks for the positive feedback. Glad it was helpful
I nearly give up on my beard until I come across you dude. Love you tutorials. Mine is nigh on white now, tried dying and just not for me, guess it's time to embrace the grey.
Hell yeah bro, gray just exudes wisdom and experience. Rock that shit my guy.
thank you! bearded since 1980… first time I’ve seen how to maintain my beard correctly. I used to keep it short…have always wanted to go longer / fuller. I’m a 70+ year old great grandpa with a white - ish not quite Santa beard. I’ll be using your tips come Spring, not touching it until then❗️😎
That’s terrific! Thanks for the wonderful feedback. Good luck with the grow 👍🏼
Dude, you're fucking awesome.
Turn off the water while washing the beard. Fill the sink with a little water and rinse your face in that. (Save 1 to 5 gallons of water per minute.)
I learned from you the care of my beard but a professional is needed at least 4 times a year. I am sorry not to find Victory products in Italy. Shipping costs from the USA are really high. Thank you Matty for your valuable advice. Saluti dall'Italia!
Just came across your channel. This is the first time I feel I understood a little about how barbering works. The way you are able to articulate and explain little important details is a reflection of someone who truly understands his craft. Every field has its intricacies and tricks and you're someone who's mastered yours. Thank you so much for sharing all this content. Respect!
Great video. It took me 3 years to understand what to do to make beard like this but this video helps a lot. The problem is you look good in any way (and yes I'm straight guy)
Thank you for making this, I've been growing my beard out for the last 7 months and its looking like your beard is now. I've been a little worried about doing anything to it but watching this makes me feel a little more confident about doing some trimming.
Glad I could help!
Great info! Thank you. Almost time for my first self trim..... Hey your short clips on Amazon for Victory Beard Wash, AWESOME!!! Orders in. Really look forward to trying it out.
I found you on GQ, found your channel to follow over theirs.
Thanks for the follow! Let me know what videos you’d like to see!
@@mattyconradgrooming stuff like this is great, this is more of the style I want to try out, kept my beard short for years just because it was much easier to manage and I had limited time, I do not have those excuses anymore.
I've watched a ton of somewhat similar video, well, similarly-themed videos, over the years, but nothing compares to yours. I've stumbled upon your how-to guides years ago and they really helped. It took me some time to get used to the freehand tecqhnique and everything, but it changed the way I take care od my beard. I also learned a lot about trimmers and clippers, and so much more. Thank you for your help, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate it, and that I love your work in general. Keep pushing out content, you're great at it. I'll watch every single one of your videos, that's for sure. Great work and thank you! 👌
Thanks so much for the encouragement! I really appreciate it!
It's not rocket science...
@@Hairydude Whoa! Space Beard!
If Tom Brady had a perfectly manicured beard, you would have this man. Great tutorial, you've inspired me to grow my beard out. My entire chin is grey, I have a salt and pepper mustache, and jet black beard hair along my jaw line. Bring on the beard coloring video my friend.
@Matty Conrad Excellent video. I'll be trying this in the morning. As others have mentioned I's also like to know how to fade sideburns into a bald head and what to do when the beard is wavy on the sides and tends to naturally curl up underneath. Do I let it grow out more or keep it shorter underneath?
p.s.-@29:47 you say you use matte product to "scalp" your beard. I'm sure you meant "sculpt", so I thought you'd like to know.
Hey Matty, great video! Your tips are so helpful. Thank you, sir. Happy New Year!
we need mroe videos man! haha, im heading to Vancouver in march so ima stop by for sure
Trimmed my beard for the first time without a guard thanks to your guide. Followed the steps and shaped my beard perfectly. It looks amazing, thank you!
Matty like a lot of other comments just now coming across your channel as I am starting the beard journey. I have had a beard for many years but have kept it nice and trimmed tight. Now I want to grow it out and wish I would have come across your channel sooner. After about 20 different beard oils/balms and a heated straightener brush realize that a trim is probably more of what I need. I look forward to finding a barber (watched your video on that) and plan on going soon. I did have a question, noticed you didn't have a wide tooth comb at the Victory Barber website, any plans on carrying one in the future? Sorry for the long comment and question, enjoying your videos!
Seriously man thank you so much ❤️ I've been struggling to take care of my husband's beard (yes I know he can go get it done but I like doing it for him and I feel like I was doing an ok job) I feel like I'm gonna rock it the next time I do it! 🎉 I've never been so excited to do his beard 😅
Dude!! I think you just fixed 20 yrs of screwing up my beard ..best 30 minutes this week by far
Awesome news! Thanks for the positive feedback!
Thank you for that regrouping my beard and asked a company that post alot to no reply...... awesome... now to just get my unsteady hands with these trimmers and the Helpful Hint at a pair of clippers as I think that is most of the problems
Good luck Dennis. It takes a little practice and while it won’t totally replace a good barber… it’ll help.
Can you use a hair clipper for the beard? Is there any difference with specific beard trimmers? Thank you!
You can. Definitely. I’m gonna do a video about it,
"Beard shouldn't look shiny.. because it looks 'cheap' ". I agree, and yet most guys putting oil in their beard rub it on the whiskers and leave the oil on top of the hair instead of rubbing it into your skin.. making it useless and over-the-top glossy/shiny.. ugh
Yeah… it’s never been my vibe. Oil is great for preventing dry itchy skin but guys use it like a styling lotion these days.
More men need to watch videos like your's and stop the bad, pube looking, overgrown beards. 😎 Split ends and curly hairs are never good. 😅🖤
You know this is channel for men when you scroll the comment section and you find zero comments on not closing the water when he's washing the beard.
Wonderful!
I've watched this so many times and each time gotten progressively better. So worth paying for premium for this to help me tonight with a NYE clean up. Thanks Matty! Can't wait for the coloring vid. Last 3 yrs have aged me something fierce 😂
Man, I’m with you. Pre-pics vs post, lot of gray.
Thanks for the feedback! Hope you enjoy the colour vid!
@@mattyconradgrooming Loved it and just ordered some Victory Super Dry
Brilliant, only have a couple of months on my beard, but its to have some techniques !
You never use scissors ?
Btw you could make vids about anything, youre just insta likeable.
Any advice on finding a good barber in an area? I've tried Google maps but no places in my area really appeal to me... Maybe searching on Facebook or Instagram will help? Any sites that could help search?
I love your tutorials! Thank you so much. I’ve been growing my beard out for about three months, and I’m going to try this tonight. Side note… What kind of watch are you wearing in this video? I love it!
Great video... it'll help me from making mistakes that take weeks to recover from! Left field question - what is your hat in the B roll at the beginning? I've been hat shopping and yours looks very close to what I'm looking for... Thanks!
It’s a Stetson Open Road in silver belly. Thanks for watching!
Your Hair and Beard Look Awesome.
Similar to the Style I Like to Rock.
Great Video and Information
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing. I still hope to see a tutorial on your hair 😁
just used for tips for the first time. not the cleanest cut but i can defiantly see a nice shaped beard. look like a man now thanks dude! really helped.
Much appreciated your videos. Maybe you can add some tips for those blessed/cursed with curly hair, it's difficult to maintain and cut the right size :-)
Good to have you back, you're content helps a ton!
Happy to hear it! Thanks for the kind words!
You need help to grow a beard?
I have a beard around the size of yours, and the "tilt your head" when trimming under the chin was a huge help. Always looked to flat
That’s awesome to hear!
You're an absolute mad lad for this. Thank you so much, Matt.
Saw you on GQ initially. Just found your channel. Really good stuff pal.
Thanks for the encouragement! I really appreciate it.
This is the best beard trimming guide I have see, and I have see a lot. Great stuff, cheers mate.
Excellent walk through my friend.
I just got out of the military. Joined when I was 19, I'm 24 now, and I just started growing an actual beard for the first time in my life. I'm not as blessed in the facial hair department as matty, but good enough is good enough. But I have next to no experience with a beard, and these videos have helped tremendously not just with technique, but also what styles will look good with my faceshape, what products to use, etc. I will definitely be returning to up my beard game even more
Thanks for the kind words! Good luck with the facial fur!
I've had a pretty long beard for a while now and want to say I think it's better to get a nice pair of small grooming scissors when trimming the stache. What I do for avoiding the cats asshole stache style (😂) is hold the scissors vertical to your lips as you progress across them. This will help you avoid a, in my opinion, bad look due to it looking too straight. By holding the scissors vertical, you get the length and shape you want while it being easier to avoid going too high above your lip. The tip you have about "less is more" is gold and applies here too - start low to trim, but give yourself room to progress further up. Back away from the mirror for a few seconds after every few cuts and brush down with a horse hair brush. Make sure that when you do your mustache that your beard is ENTIRELY dry. Wet hair is longer than dry hair so that makes a difference when avoiding the cats asshole. Very good video my friend!
Sorry for the really long winded comment!
Pro for sure thank you for the video. Helped me tremendously...
This video IS THE PERFECT TUTURIAL
New Matty Conrad content?! Hell yeah! Teach me, professor!!
Thanks man super helpful and that's for not just rushing through it I've learned a lot of help tips thank you
My pleasure! Glad it helped!
with a better mic this video would be perfect 10 out of 10 now its 9.5
Thanks! I ended up getting a better mic afterwards.
excellent stuff here ✌🏾
You tips helped me so much, thank you!!!
This guy is a real Picasso with the clippers!
That beard is a work of Art😮
Thanks for watching!
I just want to grow it down below my chin once to see what I look like. I'm 49, been letting it go for months and have a full 3/4". I should have a full 2" by my 52nd birthday I figure.
Go for it!!!
I will like to meet you in person have you line up my beard etc...
Thank you matt for this video I trim my beard following your guidelines and I'm happy with my look
That’s awesome! Glad I could help!
Matty, my man you are amazing! I cannot even tell you how many videos I have watched from other folks and they haven’t even come close to the information, professionalism and accuracy that you just provided! Liked and Subscribed!! You are now my go too for beard trimming. I’ve had one all my life since an adult, and I am finally taking it seriously at 52😅! THANK YOU for providing great and thorough content!! Cheers and Happy New Year! You ROCK!
Well thank you for the kind words. Happy I could help.
@@mattyconradgrooming 👊😉👍💯
Amazing ! I hate it when barbers take half the beard off this is grooms the beard without taking out density
My mustache curls up so i have to keep it short
Ty so much great show 🧔🏻🧔♀️🧔♀️🧔♀️🧔🏻
Great video, followed it to the T, my beard is great now.
Thanks a lot Matt :)
Great news!!!! Glad it helped!
How to trim your beard, the extended cut....get it? Extended Cut...beard trimming.......I'll get my coat
I saw what you did there 😂.
Amazing, thank you:)
Thank you I needed this video. Followed the tips and my beard looks 100% better.
That’s awesome!!! Thanks for watching!
What about beards where "the shelf" would be on your chest? Can you touch on necklines and such for long... long ZZTop wannabe beards?
Absolutely. When the beard gets past a certain point it’s not so much a “shelf” as it is a baseline… I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for watching!
The comb on the cheek was a gem. Thanks Matty!
THIS helped me immensely!! Thanks! Subscribed!
Best beard I ever had was grown for two years with only my upper lip trimmed.
Great beard! I love your video’s!
Very nice and helpful video, thanks for sharing! You look upgraded man!! haha good job...
Can you make a video on how you cut and style your hair? Thank you
Thanks man, you saved my beard!
You are amazing, after all the videos I feel you are part of our family
I found I had to be brave when tackling the base, but thanks to this video I thankfully didn't butcher it - raising a beer to you from Ireland Matty! 🍻
Thanks for watching Rory! HPpy to help!
It’s Ted Lasso with a beard! Love this vid. Very helpful.
I’ve been called worse 😂
@@mattyconradgrooming totally meant complimentarily! I stopped shaving about five weeks ago. Luckily, I’m blessed with good facial flora, and looking forward to June/July when it will have filled out some more. Your videos have been a massive help. Thanks to you, I’m confident about how to get the beard I want, how to keep it tidy, what to do and not to do too, and I’ve found myself a great barber by following your advice. I’m looking forward to being able to try Victory when I can get it in the UK.
By the way, the dying your beard video, even though I’m good with my grey, I found very interesting and informative. Just the right amount of ‘science’. Thanks again.
Great video! So, what do you do if you actually *do* have a very prominent chin (not quite Jay Leno, but definitely forward) and want to soften that? How do you blend that dense front “goatee” area with naturally thinner sides?
You just showed the shape I’d really like to have, but the genetics are working against me.
You can definitely use that same technique to shape it down a bit.
Hello! Do you have any advice for someone whose beard is curling into itself at the bottom? Only just turned 21 and never showed care for my beard. Though 2 years has already shown quite a bit. Also, came back at the perfect time, glad to see a new video alongside the poofy face we enjoy. =)
Love your videos Matty! Thank you for the tips, trying freehand trimming tomorrow. With this video I think I can’t miss!
Man…. If I only knew this 50 years ago. I look great it took me very little time compare to extra time and really bad results…. Now I’m clean and my girl loves it. Thank you
That’s great to hear!!! Congratulations! And thanks for the encouragement.
I have a question, what to do with a curly soul patch when you want/have a big beard? Mine looks like a curly mustache upside down. Even with product in it doesn't stay straight😢
It has been interesting to watch your approach to “cutting back the brush pile.” I tried the clipper method once about twenty-five years ago. Oooops! I went back to the scissors and comb. The last day that I shaved my face, was 10 Sep 68. This was for my Army physical, which a serious insect allergy caused me to be passed over. I may grow the courage to get a better trimmer, and try it again. The white hair seems a bit stiffer.
I thank you again for letting me watch you work and explain things in a sensible manner.
“Cutting back the brush pile” 😂 I like that. Thanks for watching
Hi mate, some advice please! I serve in the British Army who have recently permitted men to grow beards (after a 300yr ban!). We are allowed to grow up to 1 inch in length, so is it possible to achieve a similar look? Many thanks!
Great video!! Just a suggestion, you could turn down the music a little bit to hear you better, that's it, thank you very much!!
Wow that was easily the best beard trimming vid I've ever seen. Ty
Thank you so much!
I've had a beard for over 30 years. The trimmer vs. clipper information was news to me. Super helpful as I need a new trimmer..., no, clipper.
Honestly I have learned that just about any clipper will do… but the difference in trimmers is massive. A good one can be worth it’s weight in gold.
@@mattyconradgrooming Do you work in an office with the other women?
Thank you for your videos. 👍
What clippers and trimmers can you recommend? I have found that spending extra on these things tends to really make a difference in how long they last and close they cut. Can you recommend anything new since the Babyliss Gold FX trimmers you did on the GQ video over 2 years ago?
I just fucked upp the 45%downward made my hand shake like a bitch and went to far in the walls..
Well ive learned.. thanks for the tutourial my friend!
Finally another Matty upload 🙌
I appreciate all the time and effort you put into these dude. I am kinda scared to try anything though, I don't want to fuck my beard up. I've never had one so I'm just leaving it alone even tho I think it could use a professional trim.
If you are concerned about screwing it up find a good barber. Just start with a “trim” before letting them change the shape. See how they do with a clean up first.
Just grow it...
When i cut my hair i usually take a trash bag and tear down the side on one side and drape it over the bathroom sink to catch all the hair. Works great.
Great advice!
