Trying to transition from a full beard to a tapered look using clipper guards. Any advice on which guard sizes to use and how to blend them smoothly?
To achieve a seamless tapered beard, start with a longer guard (e.g., #4) for the bulk of your beard, then gradually step down to shorter guards (#3, #2) as you move toward the neck and cheeks. This creates a natural fade. For blending, use a comb to lift the hair and trim in small sections, ensuring smooth transitions. Regular maintenance with weekly touch-ups will keep the gradient sharp and polished.
yeah blending is key right i’d say start with a #4 for the bulk then taper down to #3 and #2 like Elliot38 said but dont rush the transitions use shorter strokes near the jawline and neck for better control also keep the beard comb handy to check progress as you go its all about patience and small adjustments.
