How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Cool Beard Fade Shape

Growing a faded beard takes practice, but it will be worth it. Here are the steps we recommend to grow your cool beard fade.

1. Grow Out A Full Beard

Before you begin, you want to grow a nice full beard. Taking daily supplements will help in growing your beard quickly. The length of your beard is up to you, but for a proper fade, you will want your beard to be at least an inch or more to get the desired look. 

2. Fade The Sideburns Into The Beard

The next step is the most important; it will take practice to get it right. You will need to fade your sideburns down into your beard. Some people like to start with a low cut at the top of the ears and work down. Others like to start at the bottom with the beard and work up. Either way, combining a comb and trimmer or comb and scissors is best. We recommend using a professional grooming kit for this. Use the comb to let just enough hair in, and then cut it away with the trimmer or scissors. Cut little pieces of hair away until you have achieved the faded look.

3. Clean Up The Beard Lines

After you have the right fade happening, you should clean up your lines. These faded looks are best when there is a clean edge to your beard, cheeks, and neck. Apply a good amount of shaving lube to your face. Then hold up a beard-shaping tool to your cheeks and neckline. Shave around the tool and use the edges to get straight or perfectly curved lines.

4. Maintain A Healthy Beard

Finally, you will want to ensure that your beard stays soft and hydrated. We recommend a beard softener to soften your beard without stripping away the essential oils it needs. You can also rub in beard butter or beard oil to keep it moisturized. This will help the beard from becoming too hard, brittle, or flaky.
