How to Fade Your Beard Into A Shaved Head

Lockdown has seen a growing trend towards shaved heads or a buzz cut style as these are simple cuts to achieve at home. However, it’s also been the perfect opportunity for many of us to experiment with growing a longer beard. But, how do you style these two trends together? Check out our guide on how to fade your beard into a shaved head below.

Shaping your beard

Before you start, trim your beard to the desired length. Once you have achieved this, make sure you finish off with some shaping. Use the trimmer head without attachment combs to get a closer cut, and shape around the moustache, cheeks and neck lines for a sharp look.

Blending your beard

Next, pick up your WAHL beard trimmer and start with the top where your beard meets the hair line. Pull the skin tight and move the trimmer against the grain with the an attachment comb on, which should be a grade lower than your beard. You can then go back over the area using a downward motion to catch any stray hairs. Remember to keep the fade line level with your ear. Switch to the next attachment comb a grade lower than previous and blend the top section of the beard to the scalp
