If you want to grow your beard, grooming it is non-negotiable. It takes time to get a good hand at grooming and finding the best style for you, so it’s best to start early. Having a beard that suits your face will not only help you leave a strong impression on people but also improve your self-confidence.
A well-groomed beard suggests class, professionalism, and etiquette. Here’s an ultimate guide to trending short, medium, and long beard styles to finesse your face and boost your appearance.
Different Beard Styles
Short
Defined Lines
Defined lines accentuate the jawline and chin, making them look sharper and more chiseled. It’s the best beard style for a perfectionist. The goatee only needs to be partially shaved, and you will need to use a razor around the edges to get those smooth lines.
Thin And Thick
Thin and Thick beards give your face an elegant and mature look and project strength. It’s an easy style to achieve. All you have to do is take a pair of clippers and give yourself a thin beard, leaving the sideburns slightly longer. It’s a much more natural-looking alternative to fading and tapering.
Classic Shorter Length Beard
This style gives you a naturally clean look. It gives your beard the appearance of being grown naturally, when in fact it’s trimmed close to the skin. To achieve this look, you need to leave the outline of your beard and neck area growing naturally. Only trim the hairline and sideburns.
Mustache And Chin Strap
If you are unable to grow a full beard, this is the perfect style for you. Shave all of your beard area except for your mustache and the hair along the jawline. Make sure your chin strap is of even length to your mustache.
Medium
Beard With an Undercut
If you’re looking for a simple beard style that’s quick and easy to maintain, just give your beard an undercut using a pair of scissors. It’s a popular choice because it offers variety and is suitable for both warm and cold climates.
Long Ducktail
If you have exceptional chin beard growth, here’s an exciting style for you to try out. It’s not the most elegant style but gives your face a lot more character. It also accentuates your jawline and other masculine features.
All you have to do is grow your beard out for a few months and use a clipper to give it the shape of a duck’s tail. If you want to add some elegance, long ducktails pair well with a slicked-back hairstyle.
Lengthen Your Chin
This style works best for men with small faces. It lengthens your chin and makes your jaw look slightly bigger. You can do this with long or medium hair, but it’s probably better if you went with the medium length. It’s a lot more comfortable. The style is very easy to achieve. You just need to let your beard grow naturally and trim it evenly.
Full Beard
A full beard with medium hair is a simple look that requires no grooming. It’s not too complicated or high maintenance, and as long as you maintain your beard with a comb and beard oil, full beards can look classy too. The best part is, it goes with every haircut.
Long
Triangular
If you want to keep a long beard and still look well-groomed, this is the perfect style for you. However, it’s not easy to achieve; you may need to visit a professional barber. This style requires ample growth and straight hair that can be shaped into anything. The sharper your jawline, the more regally you can pull this style off.
Round
A round long beard is the easiest style to achieve with long facial hair. It doesn’t require much grooming except perhaps giving a trim around the edges with a pair of scissors. If you have a round face, this look will be the most natural for you.
Square
Square long beards are not the most conventional choice, but if you want a look that portrays rough masculinity, it’s the best beard style. It adds more width and density to your face, making you seem bigger. This style is best for burly men with exceptional hair growth.
Wavy Long Beard
A wavy long beard suggests the peak of maturity, wisdom, inner strength, and authority. You need to have naturally wavy hair and ample follicle growth to get this. Wavy long beards are best suited for middle-aged and aging men as it compensates for the receding hairline.
