Types and forms of popular beards for men with examples and names

Types of beards for a brutal man

Short bristles

It is enough not to shave for two or three days. If you want light unshaven hair to become your signature style, buy a trimmer and constantly trim new hairs. Only then will the bristles look neat.

• And another tip: Completely remove any hair that grows below the Adam's apple for a stylish look.

Medium bristles

A few more days, and your face will have medium-length stubble of 3-5 mm.

It is very important that she does not look like you went on a weeklong binge. Remember that the cheeks (if there is also hair) should always be cleanly shaved at least partially. Otherwise, sexuality turns into slovenliness.

Long bristles

The bristles are 6–7 mm long. This is no longer just unshaven, but an almost full-fledged beard.

Therefore, taking care of her is much more difficult than the previous ones. The trimmer comes to the rescue again: trim the stubble every few days and everything will be fine.

• We also completely remove the hair that grows above the lower third of the face and that climbs onto the Adam's apple.

Classic beard

A perfect beard in the classic sense.

It will take a lot of time and patience to grow such a beard. It is better to go on vacation altogether so as not to scare friends or colleagues with your strange look (especially if you have always been clean-shaven).

When the hair grows to the desired length (after 4–5 weeks), it's time to give the beard the correct and beautiful shape.

It is best to turn to a professional and sign up for a good barbershop. The master will take into account all your wishes - and the perfect beard is ready!

French fork

A classic beard, but with a twist: its lower part is shaped like a French fork with two teeth. Hence the name.

Duck tail

Another variation on the classic beard. As you may have guessed, it got its name due to the fact that the lower part looks like a duck's tail.

Today it is a very, very popular type of beard.

Round beard

A simplified version of the classic beard with a neatly rounded shape.

The main plus is that such a beard does not require complex care: the hair retains its round shape for quite a long time and remains neat.

Goatee

Small beard starting under the lower lip and extending over the entire width of the chin. Looks demonic, especially when combined with shaved sideburns.

Hollywood beard

This beard was well advertised by Hollywood stars. The beard covers the lower jaw and chin and is necessarily connected to the mustache.

Perhaps one of the most attractive types of beards for women. Of course, if you want to look like a Hollywood star, you need to carefully monitor your beard and go to the hairdresser in time.

Napoleon III

Sea anchor

The beard runs along the jawline and joins into a small strip under the lower lip. Cheeks and temples should be carefully shaved.

A style for those who like long and thick sideburns. The chin always stays clean, but what to do with the mustache (shave or not shave?) - decide for yourself.

It is important that the bottom edge of the sideburns is in line with the bottom of the chin.

Fused wide tanks

A neater and more modest version of the previous style.

The sideburns are not as thick and end at about the middle of the chin. Use a trimmer to keep your sideburns in shape. The chin, in turn, must be perfectly shaved.

Verdi

A cool and truly stylish look for the man who loves to attract attention.

Verdi is a rounded beard with partly shaved cheeks and a lush mustache.

The mustache extends beyond the corners of the mouth by no more than 1.5 centimeters, and the length of the beard does not exceed 10 centimeters (measured from the lower lip). Remember: the mustache must be perfect! Well-groomed and well-groomed.

The style got its name in honor of Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi, the great Italian composer.

A thick and long beard, a thick and long mustache - this is the Bandholz style. All you need to do is just not shave. Don't shave for a very, very, very long time. And only sometimes to trim the beard and mustache a little, so that they are cute and neat.

The style is named after Erik Bandholz, who quit his job one day because management forbade him to grow a long beard.

Today Eric is the owner of the world famous Beardbrand cosmetics company for men.

The Fu Manchu beard is shaped like a horseshoe or an inverted English letter U. It includes a straight mustache and vertical stripes along the mouth, designed in a single hair ensemble.

To add a special charm, the beard can be braided into one or more braids.

Island

The Islet is a stylish goatee alternative. Soul patch is located in the fovea under the lower lip in the form of a triangle. This beard goes well with a light unshaven or small mustache.

On a note: among famous personalities, the most striking owners of the "island" on the chin are Tom Welling, Ashton Kutcher, Timati.

Walrus Mustache style is able to give a face seriousness and confidence. But he has one significant disadvantage: hair will constantly interfere with eating.

Bicolor

Two-tone beard options are quite common. This is caused, first of all, by the overflow of the natural hair color: red shades can be cast with light brown color, and dark beards - with gray hair.

Due to fashion trends, there are men who specially paint facial hair in different colors: green, red, blue, etc.

The combination of two shades gives a man an extraordinary and unique look.

Short and tapered

A short and tapered beard is a simple and elegant "hairstyle" for a man's face that goes well with a goatee.

2. under the chin at the rounding point, the vegetative "hair" must be narrowed;
3. the beard and mustache must be of the same length.

Chin strip shaping is an easy and quick process. It goes well with short facial hair.

Complement the image correctly selected fashion haircut

Canadian

The Canadian beard is the choice of stylish guys. This type of male "decoration" forms a vicious circle on the face, in which the mustache and hair on the chin are smoothly connected. This keeps the neck and cheeks smooth.

The cisterns can be made in various variations.

2 main ones:

Short Scottish Beard (Screen or Lincoln Beard)

Tartan beard is an alternative to the skipper's beard. It is more dense and lacks precise lines.

REFERENCE: The beard was created by Abraham Lincoln.

The girl Grace Bedell advised him to grow thick hair on his face. She believed that a thin face spoiled the image of the president. Therefore, I wrote him a letter asking him to change, promising in his support the voices of all close people.

Oddly enough, Abraham Lincoln listened to her advice, and soon a lush beard screen appeared on his face.

We select a beard and mustache by type of face

It is worth saying that if you decide to grow yourself a beard, then you need to think about the fact that it should suit you and add elegance and masculinity, and not make others laugh or scare. Therefore, the first thing to do is to decide on the type of face - this will determine the shape of the beard that suits you:

Oval.

This is the best option, since it is easiest to choose a mustache and a beard for it, because to the oval all options are suitable.

Rhombus.

Such a face is distinguished by very pronounced cheekbones, while the forehead and chin are relatively small. For men with this type of face, beards called "Screen" and "wolverine".

A circle.

Such men need to think about lengthening the face, and this can be easily done with the help of goatee, goatee or massive stubble, and one must be careful with the "king's beard".

Square.

In this case, care must be taken to soften the shapes and contours. Any beard running along the chin will do a great job with this, the main thing is that you cannot overdo it with density. Therefore, it will look harmonious on men with this type of face. hollywood or skipper's beard.

Triangle.

These men have a wide forehead and a narrow, small chin, so a beard is a great way to balance the two. A beard will help to cope with this. Balboor thick vegetation square and oval.

Heart.

Perhaps the most fastidious face shape, and it will be difficult to choose the right beard for her, however, well-known barbers (people who specialize in cutting and grooming mustaches and beards) have long decided on this issue and recommend in this case to choose whiskers or strong overgrown chin, without growing a mustache.

Having determined your face type and choosing the appropriate beard option, you need to pay attention to some more aspects, for example, to the density:

• brown-haired people can safely thin out the beard and mustache so that they are not too dark and do not create a dark mass that completely distracts attention from the eyes and other parts of the face;

• fair-haired men, on the other hand, can grow a thicker beard.

So, no matter how strange it may sound, a man, when choosing these "accessories", must pay attention to his height. For tall ones, you can easily choose a thick and long beard, but for short young people, more modest options.

When you have decided on all these criteria and gained determination, you can safely start growing.

Growing a beard and mustache step by step

It is worth saying that from the beginning of growing until the moment when you completely put your beard in order, it will take some time, and you will have to put a lot of effort into this. The algorithm of actions will be as follows:

1. You need to completely stop shaving your facial hair.

2. After two weeks, you need to carefully assess how the hairs on your face are located in order to determine which shape comes out, where they grow better and faster, and where bald spots can form.

3. During this period, you can visually try on the shape of the beard that you have chosen, and determine where you will have to shave it or, conversely, grow it.

4. If the length of the beard suits you, then it's time to safely proceed to processing it, if not, then you still need to wait.

5. You can handle the mustache, sideburns and beard yourself. To do this, you will need a machine, shaving cream, comb, scissors, maybe even a hair clipper.

However, you must remember - one wrong move, and the whole picture will be ruined, which means that the process will have to start over.

6. If you are not confident in your abilities or are afraid to take risks, barbers or hairdressers in beauty salons will come to your aid.In this industry, special programs have even been developed that will help you choose the most suitable option for you, and a trained person will quickly and deftly make your dream come true.
