What to do if the beard starts to climb where it shouldn't be.

One of the best examples is a photograph of Shia LaBeouf taken in 2015 as part of the #allmymovies art project. Then the American actor, together with ordinary viewers, one after another watched all his films in a New York cinema. This is what his beard looked like then:

This is a classic example of a beard in need of a serious haircut, particularly in the neck area. The problem does not affect all men, but in general it is very common.

To find the problem for yourself, try to determine if facial hair extends beyond the imaginary line separating the neck from the area under the chin. If so, then you need to do something about it.

Fortunately, the task is easily accomplished with a razor or trimmer. You will need to do the following:

• Imagine a line that extends downward from the bottom of your ear, continues in an imaginary curve between your jaw and under the chin, and down your neck. The line should be about 3, 5–3, 8 centimeters higher than the Adam's apple, but depending on your proportions, the figure may vary slightly.
• Then just remove everything under that line. Shave against hair growth using shaving cream. Try to make the line as neat as possible as this is the new edge of your beard. If you have an electric shaver, then use the special attachment. There is no need to make the line perfectly straight, because it is under the chin and is not very noticeable.

Things get a little more complicated when the beard stops being perpendicular to the ear and begins to tend to the Adam's apple. In this case, you have two options: either make the beard square, which will give you a more masculine look, or round it. The first option is suitable for those with a round face. If your face is square, then a rounded beard will help you achieve expressiveness.
