How to Trim and Style Your Goatee

Trimming and grooming are essential for keeping your goatee looking stylish and gentlemanly. Without regular maintenance, your goatee can quickly become messy and appear dishevelled, so it’s best to stick to a routine. The most important part of grooming your goatee is defining its edges. To achieve neat and clean edges, a razor is the best tool to use, but an electric shaver with trimming attachment can also work. Once you’ve cleaned up the shape of your goatee, you can trim your facial hair to appear tidier. Simply follow the shape of your goatee and cut to a consistent length, getting rid of split ends in the process. Then, finish by trimming your moustache to the same length as the rest of your goatee.

 

 

FAQs

What is a goatee?

A goatee is a style of beard that incorporates hair on the chin and usually the upper lip, too. There are various goatee styles but the common thread that unites them all is some level of hair cover on the lowermost section of the face, usually around the mouth.

Does a goatee look good?

If you’ve ever thought about trying a goatee, now’s the time. With the massive resurgence in facial hair trends for men, this classic beard type promises to make you look stylish and suave.

How far should a goatee go under the chin?

Place your hand under your chin, so your fingers are going from left to right. When you can fit at least two fingers between your Adam’s Apple and the beard, you should be good to go.

Should I get a goatee?

It really depends on your face and chin shape as well as your complexion and the color of your facial hair. Like a beard, a goatee can add strength to a weak chin. It can also help define a round or less than sculpted face. As you would expect, pale complexions and dark facial hair result in a more dramatic look
