    What does a hipster beard Look Like? 

    Just like the hipster man, the hipster beard is individual. You might want a cleanly shaven face paired with a detailed, sculptured handlebar moustache. Or maybe you’re the “chin curtain” type that likes camping and loves the freedom of nature? In any case, you should know how to take care of your facial hair and how to shave a hipster beard so that it becomes the trademark of your hipster style.


    Before you find the perfect style for you, you will need a full face of beard, so check out our guide on how to grow facial hair in five easy steps.

    This Is How You Care for and how to Grow A Hipster Beard

    Let’s start with a classic hipster full beard and if you feel like a little more shape is needed afterwards, you can always trim down or shave certain parts.This is how you grow a hipster full beard:

    1. Take your time. A hipster full beard is a slow-paced contemporary, so you’ll need to wait a few weeks until your facial hair has reached the desired length and density. If you embark on the full beard journey, it pays to invest in a beard styler that can do everything: trimming different lengths, shaving and styling clean edges. You’ll need all these features sooner or later. A good example is the Philips OneBlade Pro, which conforms to the contours of your entire face and offers a trimming head with nine length settings.

    2. Care for it well. From time to time, you should trim stray hairs on the neck and cheeks, but don’t shave them off completely. Edges that are too cleanly shaven don’t go with your naturally growing hipster beard.

    3. Trim. After a few weeks of growing, your hipster beard will be ready to trim. Trim your beard in an even length that’s not too short.

    4. Give your hipster beard a shape. Use a longer comb attachment to trim your hairline on the neck from the middle towards the sides. Then define your cheek area. Comb your beard and trim the tips. Change the length attachments while working from the cheeks towards the chin, so the beard stays long at the bottom, and always try to trim symmetrically. Use the longest attachment for the tip.

    5. Make your beard unique. To give it even more definition, you can learn how to shave your hipster beard, but not completely, of course! If you want to cleanly shave the edges on your neck and cheeks, do so in circular motions. If you choose cut-outs below the mouth or other details, use the precision trimmer first and then a mini shaver on the OneBlade Pro. There may be many hipster beard styles to try but find the one you are most happy with by experimenting with different styles.

     

    You can change a full beard, for example, into 70s style mutton chops with a dense moustache. Or you can trim it to a short hipster beard. Or even leave the beard behind and go for a full, lone, hipster moustache. Let your imagination run free! Now you know how to grow and maintain your hipster facial hair, you can go as wild as you want.
