How To Choose The Beard Type

Author: Victoria Howell

Most of men want to have a nice beard which makes them look more courageous and fearless. If you also want to have a cool beard, but don’t know where to start, learn the 7 simple steps below.

What you need:

  • The ability to grow beard
  • Barber (or maybe you can do it yourself)
  • Patience!

Step 1

Determine your face form. Look at yourself in the mirror with imaginary beard on your face. Your face is round? You have square cheekbones? Your mouth is too small? These are very important parts that make up the characteristic features.

Step 2

Stop shaving. This is the most obvious step, but often this is not enough. Some guys prefer to wear so-called goatee and start to shave their beard already after a few days of facial hair growth. However…

Step 3

After two weeks of no shaving learn your face again. During these 14 days you passed through a state of constant itching twice: the first time on the 4th day, the second time - approximately on the 12th day. Anyone who wants to wear beautiful well-groomed beard, passes over it.

Step 4

Determine the nature of the facial hair growth. Look where it grows and grows best of all. Usually the hair grows close to the nose. Sometimes mustache does not reach even to the chin. Determine the height and shape of the hair respectively.

Step 5

Try to imagine your ideal beard. If you think that you can wear a wide beard, it may be a good idea to shave the hair on the top of the cheeks and neck. If you have a good hair growth, your mustache and beard are connected, a full beard type will fit you. If you have a round face, you need to make it slimmer visually. "Goatee" can help you to create this effect. If the hair on your cheeks grow poorly, choose the "goatee" or a popular «Chinstrap» style. If you can’t grow a mustache, try "Lincoln" beard style.

Step 6

If you chose a desired style of beard, let the hair grow freely. Even if the beard has reached the desired length, you may need some time for filling bare spots on the face.

Step 7

In this step we decided to offer several beard types. If you're a fan of rock music, you can choose a "full" beard. If you are a connoisseur of jazz music, you probably will wear a short, neatly cropped beard. If you like nightlife you probably need a "goatee" beard. If you’re a resident of the State of Texas or California, go to the mustache!

Remember: the choice of beard style is individual. So, do not limit your imagination and experiment with different styles.
