Maintenance
Beard layering is achieved by having a combination of different lengths of hairs that should be regularly maintained. This requires periodic trimming and styling to ensure a neat and uniform look. For maintaining the desired layers, it is important to use the right tools, like a cordless trimmer or clipper with a variety of comb guards that will allow you to customize your layer lengths. A trimmer beard guide helps make the process of even layer cutting easier. Before starting to layer, you should also detangle and comb your beard to remove any knots or tangles.
Using oils and conditioners to keep your beard soft and healthy is also essential. Applying a beard oil or balm will also help to keep your hairs in place while styling and trimming. Regular brushing with a boar bristle brush will also help to keep the beard looking neat and tidy.
Style

For a fuller beard, more length should be maintained and for a more trimmed look, shorter layers should be cut.
To layer your beard, begin with the bottom layer. Make sure it is neat and tapesred by taking your initial length and blending the length to shorter at the edge of the beard. The second layer should be the same length or slightly longer, and the third layer can be cut at a slightly longer length. Remeber not to over-layer your beard, otherwise it will look messy.
Geometry
To get the desired beard shape, use a beard shaping tool. This tool will help you to draw lines through the beard, defining areas of the face and creating curves to help frame your face shape.

The longer the beard, the more curves and angles should be used.
