My tips for growing and trimming the Thor Beard
Chris Hemsworth has always sported a bearded look for most of his career, and perhaps that's why he's known as one of the manliest lead actors in Hollywood today.
Although he has been seen once or twice with a clean-shaven face, most of his appearances on the red carpet or off set are with a short beard or a full beard (on the whole face).
His beard style in Thor: Ragnarok is perhaps one of the most imitated and coveted styles by our bearded friends today.
It is a short, standard beard and compared to other styles, it can be maintained without any particular effort.
If you don't have problems growing your beard hair, you can wear this style, but you have to follow a few steps anyway!
Trimming your beard like Thor, the Norse God
Step 1: let the beard grow for a week
Let your beard grow for about a week. To get the same fullness as Chris' beard, you need to let the hair grow for about 5 to 7 days.
This allows the thin or bald areas of your beard to fill in and gives you enough hair to work with when you need to trim and shape your beard.
Step 2: trim your beard like the Norse God
Trimming begins by moving halfway down from the top of the legs to the jaw in downward strokes. Using a good beard trimmer, set the guard to 3 or 3.5 to get the right height.
Step 3: Mowing
Set the mower to level 4while letting the hair on the chin and jawline stay longer as you do when trimming a goatee.
Step 4: Moisturize and protect
Moisturize regularly. In an interview, Hemsworth shared that he uses natural coconut oil to keep his beard moisturized.
Of course, castor oil, sweet almond, of black cuminetc... will also help you to moisturize your superhero beard.
Step 5: Staying in good shape
Keep the shape defined in trimming your beard twice a weekbut no more.
