Fashionable types of men’s beards

Form

There is no recipe for a universal beard that would suit everyone. It should be selected according to the shape of the face (square, triangle, oval, circle), density, height and hair color. A beard can change its appearance beyond recognition – it can hide facial flaws, emphasize its dignity, visually increase or decrease the size of the oval. When choosing a shape, remember: the darker the vegetation, the more massive it looks. Don’t go overboard with contrasting scalp and facial stubble. Even a slight difference in tone can look ridiculous.

First steps

Starting to grow a beard is worth not using a razor. But you cannot forget about neatness, therefore, the neck and chaotically growing hairs in the cheek area must be treated with a trimmer. Male bristles grow on average at a rate of 0,4 mm per day – approximately this distance is covered by a snail in one third of a second. It won’t get better in a month. The hair has not yet grown back enough to keep the desired shape, and will stick out in different directions. The skin underneath will start to itch. Trim the beard, shaping its appearance, you need to gradually. As it grows, the hair is shortened at the sides. In addition, the beard should add weight on the chin, but not on the neck. After another two weeks, we recommend entrusting the beard design to a professional.

Care

Beard hair is very dry. To prevent it from bristling in different directions, use special nourishing shampoos, caring oils and balms. Do not forget to moisturize the face skin hidden under the beard with the cream. Another important point: the beard retains odors. To make your facial hair smell good, use special aromatic oils.

SQUARE

With a square face like David Beckham’s (pictured), avoid straight and angular lines. Give preference to a small piece of beard (triangle or strip) under the lower lip.

TRIANGLE

For a triangular face like Ryan Gosling’s (pictured), choose a wide beard. Thus, it will help smooth out a sharp chin and cheekbones.

A CIRCLE

Holders of a round face, like Leonardo DiCaprio (pictured), will do well with bristles, which allow them to visually stretch them. This can be a trapezoidal hair of medium thickness. A goatee is also suitable – neatly grown hair connected to a mustache. Sideburns, on the other hand, will add a bit of humor, so we advise you to avoid them.

OVAL

The oval face shape, like that of George Clooney (pictured), is considered as universal as possible. Any kind of beard will suit you. The easiest option is to get two to three days of stubble.

I have lived with a beard for twenty years. It may be too little to become an expert, but I’ve learned a thing or two in that time, and I can present you with five proofs of the undeniable benefits of a beard.

1. It saves time. It takes 15-20 minutes to shave daily. A trifle, you say? But in a lifetime, it will run at least 80 days. How to spend them, decide for yourself. You can take a trip around the world or just sleep a little longer in the morning. The main thing is that all bearded men have this bonus.

2. And she immediately increases the brutality. I grew a beard in my third year and immediately began to look more mature, they began to listen to my words. Without any gym, I became wider at the shoulders and even taller. Amazing visual effect. It is much easier to put pressure on authority, in any dispute – plus one hundred points of courage and confidence. And not only the boys in the street skirmishes. Leonardo DiCaprio flew past the Oscars five times, then he was furrowed. And they were immediately awarded. And if it does come to a fight, then it becomes an airbag and softens the blows. It’s not for nothing that the Vikings appreciated facial hair so much.

3. The increased interest of women is guaranteed. A beard is like a magnet for them. Everyone wants to check: does she inject when you kiss? Even the jealous count with blue on his face had no end to his fans. Psychologists are inclined to explain this with a dense subconscious: cave girls assessed men in this way: the thicker and longer the beard, the cooler the hunter, which means there are more chances to survive. This trend has been sitting in the brains of beautiful ladies for thousands of years, influencing the formation of the appearance of an ideal companion.

4. Saves from frost. Yes, yes, in a country where today there may be a plus, and tomorrow – minus 30, this is an important advantage. Clean-shaven gentlemen shyly wrap themselves in a scarf, fearing frostbite on their cheeks. And the bearded man goes out into the street boldly. Warms the beard in the cold. The truth is, I checked it both in Murmansk and in Yakutsk.

5. And the main thing is that it is beautiful. All the stereotypes about stuck donut crumbs are, of course, nonsense. No, it is clear that there are sluts who do not take care of themselves. But those without a beard are full of ketchup stains on their shirts. And civilized beard wearers care about their appearance. And if you have imagination, they come up with very original beard shapes. Even whole festivals are being staged where you can brag.

So, if you are wondering whether to grow a beard or not, I advise: try it. If you don’t like it, you can always shave it off. But you will like it. I give you my word.
