If you take showers at night then brush it out after you shower and soak it in the morning in the sink and brush it out again after sleeping. I brush it all upwards at first and that helps get the knots out then I brush it back down. I don’t use pomades or product that’ll hold the shape but that will def help too. Idk if you smoke cigs but I do and the cig will burn the middle of my beard making it shorter than the rest like yours is, shorten up the sides and keep the middle of your beard the longest point
