So I'm growing my beard out and would like for it not to look hideously ratty. I usually keep it short and have a light mustache thing going on, but want to try growing it out more into a full on beard to see how it would look on me. Problem is, once it gets longer it starts to curl and look like an autistic neckbeard on my face, but looks fine if I keep it shorter. Is there a way I can prevent this, or is it more something genetic, like naturally curly hair? Is there any specific care I should do when I shower or anything?
>Pic is usually the length I keep mine at. That's not me, but it's just about the same hair color as mine.
It will straighten out naturally as it grows, but there is an awkward in-between stage where it will kind of curl up and around.
At that stage, use beard oil or wax and comb it often. That will help a LOT.

this, wax and comb it
good looking facial hair isn't just a natural occurrence
