There are certain areas of your beard that you may not like or want to change. This is normal when it comes to maintaining and growing a beard. As I've said in previous beard videos that I like to keep my sides cut close and fade the hair. After receiving numerous requests I've gone ahead and made this "how to" video on fading your beard.
The technique of fading your beard is rather simple and straightforward. As always with trimming your beard you should exercise caution to avoid any accidents or unwanted hair removal.
To fade my beard I use regular electric clippers/trimmers. Starting with a number 4 guard I work my way up my sideburns. It's important to not start too low on your sideburns as you might take away hair that you don't intend to remove.
After my first couple of passes with the trimmer I work my way up while I decrease the size of the clipper guards. I continue to do this until the sideburns connect with the hair on the side of my head at roughly the same length.
Fading your beard is a great technique for those looking to step up their beard game and add a little bit of dimension to their sideburns. This is also a great look for men who are bald or shave their heads as the beard can be faded up into a shaved look.
My beard remains on this face because of this guy. Every time I think of bailing I end up for whatever reason watching a multitude of beard baron videos. Thanks man, much appreciated.
I don't always shave...but when I do , I do it in a white collard dress shirt .
Ryan Dawson Hahah, YES!

I've been completely afraid of the self fade lol. I'm even more afraid of a barber coming at my progressive beard with clips or scissors.
My beard has the same curly sideburns issues too. Watched your video again and took the plunge.
Slight fade to my shaved head and I really feel 100% better. Thanks again, I enjoy the videos
So today I bought hair cutting scissors, and trimmed the bottom of my beard. And when I was doing so, I kept hearing your voice: "Just crumbs, only take crumbs." It came out great, didn't go shorter, just neatened it up a bit. Also the angle that I held the scissors was definitely useful information. Every time I see you have a new video, I hope for that mustache one. But always good info!
Happy to hear the trimming techniques worked out for you Jason! I keep saying it but the mustache videos are coming soon :)
I am too chicken shit to try this, even though I really should trim the sides a bit. Gah, I'll probably experiment a bit tonight. Wish me luck beard brothers.
DaemoniumCC Just take it nice and slow. When in doubt, grow it out.
The Beard Baron I did this the other night, and I think it turned out well. Took your advice and started off with a number 4 guard and just went from there. Think it turned out okay. I'm pleased with it so no problems. Here's a crappy picture of what it looks like (bad light in my living room) - imgur.com/XHUV9Jc

DaemoniumCC looks sweet as fuck
Thanks for this video! I had been a little frustrated with the "fluffiness" of the sides of my beard, but then I came across this video. I did the fade this morning as you instructed and it went very well and looks great. Thanks again!
Woah! I looked away from the computer and I just started to hear Ross Geller talking! btw you helped me out with something I was struggling everytime! Thank you!
You're welcome Armando Gómez!
I feel so bad. I honestly watched most of this video and I couldn't get over the fact that you have a magnificent beard good sir. Just for that reason I've subscribed. That and you're providing me some insight:D can't wait to see more.
Thanks for subscribing Aaron!
I have to say man, your vids are the BEST! -You have really helped me as I am growing my beard here in Vietnam! I'm having lots of fun because 99% of Vietnamese men cannot grow any facial hair. So, as my beard gets fuller and longer (3 months) the more attention I get. Beards in Asian culture are mythical and magical. Thanks for all your tips and I will be watching for more! BTW, I'm with you on the "fade" look.
Hey Paul, great to hear you've been enjoying my videos all the way out in Vietnam! You're well on your way to achieving mythical status!!!
Thanks for the vid man. I only been going mine for 2 months. This helps alot. I'm glad you are doing vids for us.
Awesome! Thank you for showing how to trim the sides. Im going to try right now. Wish me luck.
mailboy01 Best of luck my friend!
Great technique!!. I tried this and my beard shape has improved ten fold....It makes the beard look longer (currently 4 inches long) and fuller.
Troy Mallie Glad it worked out so well for you Troy!
You sound like Ross from Friends
he does.

I was thinking exactly the same thing! Didn't even have to SCROLL through the comments to find someone else who thinks the same, Love it!

Fantastic Style Points! I've just grown my beard out for the past 5.5 months & did my first trim of the side burn area & the touch up to shape my beard long & sleek! I'm 52 and this is the 2nd time to grow one since I was 19 (a full one back then too). Looking forward to the Beard Barons products coming soon! I will have my pic up soon to share.
Great to hear from you Steve! I look forward to seeing how it worked out for you!
i followed you as you gave the instructions and man i went from big and bushy to trimmed up and the wife loves it lol! thank you for your videos!
Your videos are killer man. Glad I stumbled on it. They've helped a lot, especially finding my style and how to trim it right. It's just about as big as yours but just grown out wild, haven't touched it. Keep em coming!
clay harpole Glad I could help!
can i just say your beard clips are amazing, i have a beard 4 months old now and im loving it :) going to use your tips whilst it gets longer, your beard is what im trying to get to :) congratulations on the channel
Thanks Boxnastyau! Glad you've been been enjoying my videos and your beard! At 4 months you are well on your way!
Very helpful video! I have the same problem with the curls on the sides, so I have to clean them up every couple weeks. I only have a two week beard at the moment but your videos make me want to grow it again. You have a great beard, brother!
Just bought your Fireside Premium this morning and can't wait to try it out!
***** Hope you enjoy it Michael!
This is the second time I've referenced this video Johnny, and I'd just like to say thank you again! Really happy to see this video has over 500k views now. Easily deserved.
Jordan Pike Glad I could help Jordan! Thanks for watching :)
Johnny: Thank you for the inspiration. I have had a full beard since I was 14 or 15. Freshman football it was sticking out beyond the faceguards. Anyway it has always been a freakizoid thing or I would cut it down close in later years. Now, mostly gray and winter, I decided to try to let it grow and maintain it. I cleaned up around the lower neck and the upper face. I am letting the stach grow too because I always used to trim that at the lip and the chin hair with the same size guard. I realized the chin hair sticks straight out, I realized after 40 years that some areas need to grow out while others need to be trimmed. I am growing and keeping it down with oil. For now... Went to barber today and he tried to convince me to cut it in some places. I told him to stick with the hair on my head.
I have a question for you Mr. Beard Baro
When will you do a moustache trimming/styling video?
Thanks in advance
Hey Chris, I have a 3 part mustache mini series coming up hopefully by the end of this month! Stay tuned!
I've been asking this since day one! LOL can't wait for them!!
This video really helped me. I hate when my sideburns get longer. All straggly and no control. And it makes for a great transition between my shorter hair and longer beard. THANKS
Thanks for this! I was getting bugged about my beard at work and as soon as I started fading my beard (and using a few tricks from your other videos) I've successfully gotten the Mgmt. off my duff for my fluff!
Anthony Cialdella You're welcome Anthony! Glad everything is working out for you!
you are on a roll Johnny , very good and informative video
Glad you liked it Paul!
OMG, THANK YOU! Need to watch the rest of your videos yet, but I've been struggling with that for a while. Hopefully now I'll be able to master it! :)
Honestly was terrified to try this i can say i was more confident shaving with my neck with my straight razor the first time glad i gave it a shot tho it was a good improvement your vids are awesome to look forward to seeing more!! Keep up the good work!
I have this very issue with sideburns. So glad I stumbled upon your videos, they're a wealth of bearding information! Mine will be looking this sharp (sadly not as long) in no time. Thanks, Mr. Baron :)
Jaybers100 Glad it helped you out!
Dear BeardBaron: I have just tried this, and it's amazing how much it changed my beard shape and my overall face contour. Thank you very much for this tip! Greetings from Argentina :)
Great to hear it worked out so well for you Manuel! All the best!
This video is perfect!! Exactly what I was looking for. I've had the same issue with the sideburns for years and I often cut my own hair so I am excited to try this out.
Jeffrey Lower Glad you found it helpful Jeffrey! Best of luck!
I have the same problem with my sideburns and beard, now I finally know how to fix it! Thank you for the great tips! Awesome videos man.
Your beard is awesome!
Its so nicely kept and manly at the same time.
I would have never thought in a million years to comb up to separate the hair I want to remove from the rest on my sideburns. Great pointers here, and great video.
Thanks for watching Gavin!
It took me a few tries but I think i got this technique down now.Tthanks for the advice.
I nearly made a disastrous error by starting lower down. Thank you so much for this. Did it like you said on a 5 guard and it worked perfectly.
I'm new to your channel, but thanks for the tips! My sideburn problems are exactly what you described and I was hesitant to fix it because I didn't know where to begin, but know my beard looks much more put together and it compliments my face way better. Definitely subscribing, keep up the good work!
great video, just did the tidy up and it looks a hell of a lot neater.
thumbs up for "just go beast mode on it"...
It's been my phrase of the month already, but you made it so much better. :)
Just stumbled across your channel today good stuff man keep it up. Also I like how you respond to almost everyone.
Will do Mitchell! Thanks for stopping by!
awesome tutorial. I shave my head and this part really annoys me only 6 to 8 weeks into my way to a glorious beard.
Thanks for the tip mam feel so much better than sticking a load of wax on it 👍
+Daniel Parry Glad it worked out so well for you Daniel!
+The Beard Baron Do you use any machine like that? and what clip should I use? I'm new to having a beard :(
help please
get a clipper and try it out on you upper leg, no one can see the patches and you can get a technique
Loving the style man! Growing my own at the moment =D
Your beard is the best beard ive ever seen !!
I've been trying to perfect this fade for awhile now, thanks for the great tip!
You're welcome Juan!
John, another great video. Keep on putting out the outstanding information!
Thank you!! I've been searching for a video like this, huge help
The Beard Baron is my hero. One day I shall have a beard as epic as his.
Thanks for the video, you're making my beard look awesome everyday. My beard thanks you.
Timothy Brooks You're welcome Timothy! All the best!
Thank you for all the videos. I have been growing my beard now for 7 months. Your videos have help me manage and care for it. Now I get compliments on how good it looks. Thanks again
Nicholas Beacom Great to hear everything is working out so well! Thanks for watching!
Thanks, this is great. I have this exact problem. I have a full, thick, healthy beard, and I got a haircut today. The sideburns are poofing out like crazy b/c I get clippers on the sides of my head with a number 2 guard as well. I'm gonna give this a shot when I get home from work.
Saw that it worked out great for you on Twitter Mark! Glad you found the video helpful :)
Thanks so much for this video. My beard definitely looks cleaner now without those long springy hairs.
Hey dude, great video! I'm all for the fade look being as tho my beard get frizzy and wavy on the sides, I've done the fade before but this did help because I used barber sheers but I think the clippers you use, is better... You have a great beard !
Thanks! Glad the video helped!
What a glorious beard!
Thanks, man. Feels so much better now!
Hey . It would be cool if the site had a section where you can post a picture of your beard and get community advice on . Just a thought .
Great idea Frank, I'll keep that in mind!
thank you so much for this! This is my first time growing my beard out and my hairline is also a 2. It helped a lot and my beard is going to be that much better!
I don't shave my head completely bald, but this video is gunna come in very handy for me whereas I maintain a pretty short buzz-cut along with a 3-4 month length beard. Thank you so much for the tips!
Thanks for all the tips, great channel! Saved me many a rookie errors!
Great tips...my beard is still maturing up to the stage where I would be able to grow it out like yours, there were some empty patches (not unsightly however) which I was upset about but overtime when I looked closer I finally saw some strong hairs growing even in those places! Now I am glad soon with time, patience and good nutrition I should have a fuller beard! Huzza!!
Thanks for all the great beard tips
I really enjoy watching your videos, keep on !
Going to a Barber to get my beard faded. I'm quite nervous, but I get the same curl near the side burns and really don't like it. Wish me luck Beard Baron! Also I bought a Bowler Hat as well, who knew they looked so great with beards. Maybe you could give other fashion tip's for guy's with beards.
Adrian Serrano Best of luck Adrian! Enjoy the bowler!
Fading my beard was the most terrifying thing I've ever done, and I've been robbed at gunpoint. Glad to say I now look more "gentleman" and less "terrorist". Thanks for the guide
Brilliant video! Cheers! I fell for that once trying to trim my beard, but now I know!
Keep up the great job!
Glad you enjoyed it Nikolas! It can be a tough area to trim but I figured it out the hard way :)
I personally believe that it's one spot of a man's beard that, if kept untidy, will spoil the beard's shape and other people will say that he just let it grew because he just doesn't like shaving...
I completely agree although some guys can pull it off really nice, I'm not one of them :)
The Beard Baron Indeed, the natural look suits some people pretty well! I suppose it depends on your head's shape...
Love your site -- Mike here and Ive been growing a full beard -- no razors for me -- you have lots of helpful tips and Im still learning ! The beard balm is very heard to use -- Caveman Beard Balm. Like their old as I like the Dapper Dan Balm watch is softer balm. I like the smell. Anyway keep up the great work on teaching us how to !! ; )
A good sideburn and edge fed will give it a fresh and modern look. Nothing wrong with tightening up the beard.
very good vid's. on my 1st beard and watched a bunch of you're stuff and helped me a lot. thanks
ty i ever thought about fading to my head i use to rock a fade all through high school i could grow a full beard since i was 15 then after high school i just rocked a shaved head and did it my self never knowing how to fade now i know so i can once again rock a fade and take care of the awful look in the side burn area and keep the hair from getting in my ear
Same here as I rocked a bald fade in high school myself! Fading the sideburn area makes all the difference in my beard.
5 months now, I'm getting some mixed comments on my, ' face fur'...fro bush ...you get it. THANK YOU FOR ALL THESE AMAZING VIDS!!!!!!!
This is awesome. I finally learnt how to do it. Thanks
when I first tried to fade my beard I made the mistake you went over of starting to low and yes it was a shocker lol.. I ended up trimming it all down even, my wife hated it when I trimmed it all down and so did I ...it's all back in boss form now. Thanks for making these videos watching here from Alabama.
Never shave it all off, man!
this will be very useful for i get that curliness too.
Thank you! Explains perfectly what my guy complains about. Now we can take care of the madness curls on the side that he hates
Sarah Miller Stop the madness! Remember to just take it slow and start with a larger guard than you think you'll need and you'll do just fine :)
i've let my beard fully grown for over 4 months now, but its not really shaped up i've never touched it and i think now is the time. i love your beard style and i wanna do it just like that, can you make a video on how to shape it up like this? thanks in advance, love your channel and all your advices
I'll see what I can do!
hey bro i just placed and order for your product cant wait to try it out ...throw in the comb ...cool beans bro ...great job
Just what I was looking for! Great tutorial it worked perfectly!
Such an epic beard. Motivating!!! Thanks for the tips!!
You're welcome HealthyJoeful!
cool video. just started my beard journey. Good tip for a beginning beard man
Tyson Arden Welcome aboard Tyson!
Dude this is very helpful my hair and beard problems are exactly the same..
One thing I never saw you mention when trimming your beard is if you trim it with product in your beard such as beard oil. What do you do up to the point before you comb out the hair and start trimming? I assume you would shampoo and apply oil, style it like normal then trim. Is that the correct way to go about it?
I wish I watched this video two days ago. I went to the barber to clean up the sideburns and believing he had a greater idea about beards than I had I trusted him and he really cut too much. The beard lost all it's fluffiness and the cheeks are just too low. Now it looks like some trendy crap, plus I feel kinda violated in the sense I let someone decide about it for me. Anyway I'm gonna shave and I'll be watching your videos for nostalgia and future training, it's been a great experience!
you remind me a little of Ross from "Friends". Thanks for all the tips.
thanks for the video The Beard Baron because I shave my head, the sides of my beard looked huge against my head, this one video made a massive difference thank you!
also one side of my beard grows kinda wavy, any tips as to help it grow straight?
Richie Braz Glad the video helped Richie! Added length can help with waviness as it adds weight to the hair. Beard oil can also help relax those waves a little bit for a straighter look.
The one question I've been wondering about your beard is how do you get your beard long like that? It seems the thicker mine grows in, it not only gets long but wide as well. How do you get the sides of your beard thinned out so well. Not just the sideburns where your focused in this video but lower than that.
Your moustache is badass!
Thanks Charles!
I haven't done this for a LONG TIME! LOL I need to though. I have the curls going on and I hate having it tickle my ears... LOL
Yea I know right? The curls on mine get out of control it's crazy!
I did pretty good on my taper for my first time, ever. And my beard hair is quite thin. But I should have used a comb also. So I'll be doing that next time.
How long did it take for you to grow this epic beard and mustache?
you are the safest beard trimmer ever
My beard is definitely in "Beast Mode" right now but thanks to your video it is going to get taken down a bit lol.
Hey Johnny thanks for the vids. I use a no blade on my head so the fade might be good.
"Jwoanny, whehs ya he-at?" LOL, accents are funny.
Hahaha, my Boston accent showed :) I'm usually really good about it too.
love the video man keep em' coming :)
i'm going to get a haircut this week,should i ask the barber to fade my beard with my hair lane?,or just go solo at home on it?
Hey Fallenout, glad you liked it :) As for the barber it all comes down to how much do you trust your barber fading vs how much do you trust yourself fading.
Great Channel! Tried the fade and worked at treat
James Francis Glad it worked out well for you James! Thanks for watching!
