A stylish accessory for most modern men has become a beard and mustache, thanks to which representatives of the stronger sex can show their courage, brutality and a certain charisma. Since ancient times, many women have chosen husbands with good genetics based on a thick, long beard; today ladies remain true to tradition and in most cases approve of a man’s facial hair.

Due to its great popularity, beard types are constantly growing and new styles are being added. Barbers, as specialists in beard styling and trimming, offer many alternatives and options through which you can adjust your face shape.

Many men lack the patience to grow a long and thick beard, and those who have achieved it find it difficult to choose the right type of beard for themselves.

Important things to know about beards

A correctly selected and neat uniform is an additional advantage to a guy’s attractiveness, masculinity and intelligence. So, how to grow a stylish beard? What forms are there and who are they suitable for? Individual wishes for each man.

Up-to-date information for the right choice

The main conditions for a favorable image are a correctly selected haircut, shape and color of the beard. It is also important to take into account height: wide types are optimal for tall guys, and neat and small beards are optimal for short guys. The real lucky ones are men of average height (you can choose the golden mean).

A mandatory step when choosing the type of facial hair is determining your face shape.

Oval

One can only envy the owner of such a face. Any experiments, styles and types will look good.

Round face

Square

A successful type is a beard with rounded ends.

Triangle face

To widen the lower part, you can grow a square or round beard.

Face-lamp

(pear-shaped) – elegant sideburns will disguise all defects in appearance.

Oblong face

Suitable options are a horseshoe beard or a classic sideburn.

Anchor style

Looks special on men's faces. The style is complemented by a small mustache, which is divided by a strip into 2 equal parts (strictly in the middle).

Stylish Breta

(Hollywood). The vegetation covers the area of ​​the chin and lower jaw. Feature - the hairs are separated from the tanks.

Chinstrap

(exact meaning: chin strap). A thin strip borders the face between the temples.
Burnsides means thick sideburns and a clean-shaven chin.

Sail style

The sideburns merge with the mustache.

Box

A beard is ideal for men with a triangular face shape. George Clooney wears this uniform

Getting a fashionable haircut means forgetting about meticulous hair care. Externally, this shape resembles the style of the 60s. Also, the beard looks like a duck's tail. The stubble does not need to be trimmed daily to an even contour. Hairs can be of unlimited length (even below the knees).

Lincoln's goatee

The former US president admired the look of his stubble. The beard is worn without a mustache. But if you want to hide a problem area in this area, you can make an exception (a mustache will only complement the image). The initial style is a combination of medium-length hairs and sideburns. Advantages – emphasizing the lip line and masking imperfections.

Vegetation a la Suvorov

This is the opposite of the previous haircut. Suitable for those with a regular chin shape. If there are flaws or cosmetic defects under the lower lip, choose a different type. Beard shape - wide sideburns fall below the corners of the lips, then rise and merge with the mustache. There is no stubble on the chin.

Most men don't particularly like shopping. And certainly the absolute minority of representatives of the stronger sex last time chose glasses not according to the principle “so that the price suits them and the quality is normal,” but by trying on which pair would look better on their face. But the first impression that a true gentleman makes depends on the right accessories, a suitable haircut and a well-groomed beard. To look great, it's important to know your face shape before changing your look.

Determining the shape of the face

Lifehacker has already written about how to determine your face shape using a mirror and a marker. In short: you need to take several measurements. Determine the length from the hairline to the chin and three widths: forehead, cheekbones and jaw. Now compare the measurement results.

• If your face is proportional, the length is slightly longer than the widest part, with pronounced cheekbones - you have oval type faces.
• If the length of the face is noticeably greater than the width, the chin is wide and angular, and the forehead and jaw are approximately the same width - you have rectangular type faces.
• If the length and width are approximately equal, the cheekbones and forehead coincide in width with a weakly defined chin - you have round type faces.
• If the length and width of your face practically coincide, but your forehead is angular and your chin is pronounced, you have square type faces.
• If your jaw line is the widest, with defined cheekbones and a narrowed forehead, you have triangular type faces.
• If the length of your face is not much greater than the width, but the cheekbones are the widest, and the chin has rounded outlines, you have diamond type faces.
• If the length of the face is not much greater than the width, the forehead or cheekbones are the widest, and the chin is pointed towards the bottom - your face is type "inverted triangle".

Choosing the right hairstyle

Determine what shape your face is and use the picture to find a suitable haircut. All of them are aimed at balancing the shortcomings and emphasizing the advantages of each type of face: visually narrowing too wide parts or shortening long ones.

Choosing glasses and the right beard shape

For oval face shape

An oval face is the ideal by default, and this is the shape we will try to give to other types using visual tricks. In principle, any model of glasses and facial hair will suit you. But we will still give a couple of recommendations.

• Avoid things that disturb the balance of the face: round large glasses, thick bangs that completely cover the forehead, narrow sideburns that elongate the face.
• The symmetry of the face is emphasized by geometrically correct shapes. And the classic model of rectangular glasses with rounded edges.

Rectangular face shape

Since your face itself is full of straight lines (cheekbones, jawline, elongation), our task is to soften it a little.

• Wide glasses with rounded lenses are ideal. For example, aviators.

• Avoid narrow rectangular models: they will narrow the oval of the face even more.
• We do not recommend experimenting with goatee, goatee and other beards that visually elongate the face.
• Short or medium-length beards framing the chin will add harmony. They will hide a long chin and make facial features smoother.

The right beard shape radically changes your look.

Round face shape

To balance a round face, you need to visually lengthen the forehead-nose-chin line and add a little structure.

• Avoid round or elongated rectangular glasses. Instead, pay attention to more square models like these:

• A temple-to-temple stubble, a trapezoidal beard, or the aforementioned goatee and goatee will look good on you.

• A mustache with the tips down looks just as good.

Square face shape

Owners of a strong-willed square should add softness to the image and elongate the vertical of the face.

• Rectangular glasses with right angles will visually make your forehead heavier. Give preference to rounded models that taper downward: aviators and their various variations are suitable.

• To elongate your face, focus on your chin. Combine mustache and beard combinations and you will find your ideal option.

• A smoothly trimmed Skipper or Amish beard running along the jawline will soften a strong chin. We warn you: you should not overdo it with the length of such vegetation.

Triangular face shape

The “triangles” have an obvious advantage towards the jaw, but it can be easily neutralized with a few simple techniques.

• Wear glasses with a massive upper arch: their width will visually increase the horizontal line of your forehead. Choose rounded models, they will soften a strong-willed chin.

• Trim your beard so that it hides your chin. To do this, the hair should cover the lower part of the face, as in the picture:

• Even short stubble, like Brad Pitt's, will smooth out your jawline.

Diamond face shape

A diamond face is widest at the cheekbones. We will visually lengthen and balance it by adding volume to the forehead and chin.

• Choose glasses with large, downward lenses. Massive wide arches should be avoided - do not put unnecessary emphasis on the cheekbones.

alicdn.com

• A beard is an excellent assistant for visually enlarging the lower jaw. You can grow a massive one (from temple to temple) or leave volume directly on the chin.

• A properly chosen beard shape will not only make your face more symmetrical, but will also add masculinity and brutality.

Do it! Just do it!

Inverted triangle face shape

Men with this type of face have a prominent forehead, which, although it speaks of the remarkable intelligence of the owner, still violates the harmony of perception. To look perfect, let’s divert attention from it and widen the pointed chin.

• Take a closer look at glasses with thin arms, especially models with rounded corners.

• Strengthen your jaw with an impressive beard: running along the jawline, from temple to temple, with additional emphasis under the cheekbones.

• By the way, majestic sideburns like Lincoln's are perfect for you. And to make your face look longer, shave your chin area.

Beards have recently become very popular again. Memes even began to appear on social networks, ridiculing the two main fashion fetishes - beards for men and eyebrows for girls. Sarcastic ridicule appears not at all because it is not beautiful, but because literally everyone is passionate about it. And in the pursuit of perfection, fashionistas and fashionistas often go overboard. For example, some girls are so keen on eyebrow makeup that they become like Marfushenka-darling from the fairy tale “Morozko”. Well, okay, we’ll talk about eyebrows in another article, today’s post is about beard trims, after all.

Unlike young ladies, men are unlikely to spoil their image with a beard. The main thing here is to choose the right haircut. Take, for example, hair color: brunettes only need 3 days of stubble to look brutal, but it’s more difficult for blondes - short stubble doesn’t look very good, so growing a beard will take longer and more difficult.

Types of beard haircuts and their names

1. Russian beard or full. Stubble covers the neck, chin, cheeks and upper lip.

That's all, in conclusion, I suggest you look at a few more inspiring examples. By the way, have you noticed that not every beard will suit a particular haircut? So that's it about fashionable men's haircuts will be discussed in the next article. In order not to miss out, I suggest subscribing to blog news (on the page “About the blog / about the author”).

Here it is - the fashionable image of a modern man

It's no secret that many people use their hair or creative styling as a means of self-expression. For men, there is another opportunity to confirm their charisma and stand out from the rest - to grow a beard and/or mustache.

And if in ancient times only strong, self-confident men who were capable of demonstrating strength of character wore a beard, today it can become an adornment for any man.

When making such a decision, it is important for a man to realize that not any of the options he likes can become a real decoration - there are different shapes and you need to choose the one that suits your face type, the features of which should definitely be taken into account.

In recent seasons, wearing facial hair for men has again become fashionable - not only mature men, but also young men grow beards.

There is no universal one that will suit any man. The choice of the optimal option depends on a number of factors and facial characteristics of a particular person. Such factors include age, clothing style, occupation and position, etc.

By choosing the right beard, you can not only beautify your own face, but also disguise minor imperfections, such as scars, cicatrices, and even visually correct the shape of your face (head, cheeks, nose).

If it is carelessly decorated and not well-groomed, it can easily spoil the impression of a person, since it attracts quite a lot of attention.

Therefore, haircuts must be approached with understanding and responsibility. Without experience, it is better not to carry out this process yourself, but to turn to a specialist who has experience in this field, as well as a creative approach, thanks to which all the existing advantages of a person will be emphasized.

Beard trimming should be done taking into account not only the shape of the face, but also the structure of the hair, its type, and color. For example, if the hair on a man’s face is black and voluminous, but on his cheeks it is better to remove it completely, due to which the color contrast between skin color and hair color will be visually brightened.

If the facial hair is light or red, then the situation looks completely different - thanks to the lushness and thickness of the beard, you can achieve incredible image transformations.

Not many people know that when choosing, you should also focus on the man’s height: if the height is below average, the hair should also be small. For men of average height, the choice is much wider - they can afford to wear a beard of various shapes.

If a man is taller than average, then he should choose thick options, which will visually enlarge his face and make his body proportions more harmonious. The length does not matter - it should be chosen taking into account the individual structure of the face.

What are the different face shapes and how to choose a beard?

In order to choose the perfect option, you need to determine your face shape.

Please note the following:

• Triangular face - implies a narrowing of the oval of the face downwards. At the same time, the upper part in the eye area is much wider. In this case, the main task is to equalize the proportions of the face, balancing its upper and lower parts. The ideal option in this case may be the classic option;
• Chubby gentlemen should set themselves the goal of visually narrowing their face, making it more elongated and oval. A trapezoidal shape that will connect the right and left temples is the most suitable option for them. You can complement it with a mustache, the corners of which should be lowered down;
• A rectangular face with wide cheekbones is a common option among representatives of the stronger sex. A horseshoe-shaped beard or simple sideburns will help them correct the situation;
• An oval face is the most ideal option. There is a wide scope for experimentation here. There are practically no tips and recommendations - the main thing is that the image is harmonious and complete;
• A square face can be easily corrected with a little hair all over the face or a short beard, which will make the pointed features softer and more natural.

How can I cut my hair?

Today you can find a wide range of beards; every man will definitely choose the option that suits him, and perhaps even more than one. At the same time, it is important to boldly experiment, making a choice depending on the shape of the person’s face and style.

In order to give facial hair the desired shape, you should use professional tools that can be purchased at any specialized store.

Proper care is the key to success

Whatever a man’s choice, in any case, with a beard his appearance will become much more interesting and complete. At the same time, for those who cannot make a choice on their own, you can turn to stylists.

Professionals in their field will select the most optimal option. Even if you don't like it, don't worry too much - facial hair grows back very quickly.
