Less is more in some cases. This also applies to the three-day Beard. The what? The 3-day Beard, in other words; the perfect nonchalant stubble beard. Perfect because it suits every face shape, every hair length, and every hairstyle.
Additionally, it's also much easier to maintain than a wild Beard. Saves you some precious minutes of your time in the morning. The three-day Beard allows you to enjoy your cup of coffee in the morning even more. But, how do you get such a coveted stubble beard? We will explain it to you.
The three-day Beard: the perfect stubble beard
Once you've got the three-day Beard, you only need to maintain it. But to get that Beard, you first need to go through a few steps.
Step 1: Grow!
Start at the beginning: if you have a bare chin, you naturally need to let some hairs grow first. So, put your razor in the cupboard and let your natural hair growth do its thing. Now you might wonder, "how many mm is a 3-day Beard?" Well, the three-day Beard is not called that for nothing. When you leave your Beard alone, the hairs that have grown after 3 days will be about 3 to 4 millimeters long. And that is exactly the length you need for your three-day Beard.
Step 2: Shaping your three-day Beard
Ah, the shaping of the Beard. You didn't let your beard hairs grow for nothing. Time to get rid of the wild growth on your cheeks and neck. You do that of course in only one way: trimming. A Trimmer is an important tool because you need to maintain your 3-day Beard. Trimming a 3-day Beard is done as follows.
Make sure you have the right attachment of your Trimmer or Hair Clipper and determine the contours under your cheekbones. You can choose a slightly curved line or a straight, diagonal line. You need to figure out which line suits your face shape best and what your preference is. This is the line from your sideburns to the start of your Moustache.
Step 3: Trim your three-day Beard
Eventually, it's logical that your three-day Beard is no longer a three-day Beard, but a five, six, or seven-day Beard. Then it becomes a bit wilder and longer, and that is not the intention for your nonchalant stubble beard. Therefore, trim a bit off. Choose an attachment for your Trimmer that matches the length you want to give your Beard. Now you might wonder, "a 3-day Beard, how many mm should that be?" A three-day Beard is usually 3 or 4 millimeters. A good Electric Shaver will be able to maintain that 3-day Beard neatly.
When you have found your ideal attachment, it's a matter of trimming all the hairs of your Beard. A tip from us: start with a slightly longer attachment, so you don't accidentally find out during trimming that you're cutting it too short. Trim all the hairs to the length of your preference.
Step 4: Maintain your 3-day Beard
Maintaining your three-day Beard Shaving takes the most time and energy, also for your skin. Therefore, it's important to choose good Beard Products. Therefore, go for a good Beard Oil to care for and hydrate both your stubble beard and the underlying skin. Also, a good Beard Balm or Beard Butter will soothe and care for your skin and Beard.
All in all, the three-day Beard is easy to maintain because you don't have to Shaving every day. You look sharp with your casual stubble and it gives a fresh, well-groomed look. Plenty of advantages! We say: give it a try.
Good luck!
