Beard Style & Face Shape If a man’s beard is trimmed properly, it can definitely be a good way to improve his styles and appearance. Let’s start from the beard styles. Since there are various types of beard styles. For this part, we only focus on 6 popular types of beard styles.

Face Shape & Beard Style Much the same way, not every hairstyle will suit you, beards are not one-size-fits-all. Go and pick a beard style that fits your face shape. It's important to know your face shape which is good for all your future grooming decisions. So have you got this skill? Ways to Grow A Beard Growing beard is becoming popular in men’s fashion. However, what are the steps to grow a beard? Not only do you need taste and determination, but also your patience and subtle maintenance. There will be a period of patchiness and itchiness, but eventually, a brimming beard will prevail. This step by step guide will show you how to grow a beard and maintain it. Step 1 : Giving Adequate time This is the first and most important step. Even though it kills a lot of patience, all you need to do is to bear it! Do not shave your beard. Studies have shown that men’s hair grows an inch a month on average. If your goal is a 4 inch (10 cm) beard, it may take a whole year. Therefore, the cultivation of a good beard requires you to be psychologically prepared. Step 2 : Taking Good Care of Your Beard Like hair on the head, the beard is part of a man’s body hair. To develop a beard, one should take care of it as well as maintain one’s hair. Using beard care products such as beard care oil, softener, soft comb, etc. to make your beard grow healthily. In the process of growing your beard, they can deal with the debris in your beard and keep your facial hair moist. Proper trimming of your beard is also necessary. What you need to do is to follow one principle – do not get too close to the area between your chin and neck when you are trimming your beard. The overall structure of the beard needs a good foundation. Step 3: Leave the Good Part of the Beard When growing a beard, you should learn to observe your own beard and find the most suitable types of beard for yourself. Your beard may grow in a very good and thick state, or a goatee fits your chin perfectly, or the corners of different angles can complement your hairstyle. You do not have to decide what type of beard you want to keep in advance. By taking good care of your beard, you’ll find the style that suits you best! Men themselves feel manly when they are with beards. Although there are lots of men growing a beard, seldom of them could trim and take care of their beard well. Beard Care & Maintenance There are certain habits that our beards just LOVE. Once you set an everyday routine for beard maintenance, make it a habit and do it religiously every single day. You'll be surprised how good your beard will look. 1. Moisturize Your Beard Moisturized beard is a healthy beard. Most of your beard problems will probably be solved if you keep your skin and facial hair moisturized and hydrated. 2. Keep Your Beard Clean Cleaning your beard on a regular basis is a MUST. Your beard is a trap for dead skin cells, food particles, dirt, dust, sweat, bacteria and more (Don't freak out it's not as bad as it seems). This can clog your pores and make your skin dry and itchy. 3. Brush & Comb Your Beard I can’t emphasize enough the importance of brushing & combing your beard every single day. It has so many benefits: ▶ Brush: Evenly distributes your skin's natural oils throughout your beard ▶ Brush: Trains your beard's growth direction. Great for shaping ▶ Brush: Promotes growth by increasing blood circulation ▶ Comb: Keep your beard hair tangle free ▶ Comb: Styling your beard 4. Trim Your Beard, Cheek & Necklines If you're just starting your beard journey, I recommend just letting it grow and not trim it for at least 6-8 weeks. Your facial hairs are growing unevenly in different directions and different pace. On top of that, split ends, damaged and rogue hairs are a common thing. Occasional trimming is essential to keeping your beard even and healthy. It will keep your beard shaped and sharp. It's not a trimming guide, but usually you should be trimming at different lengths around you face, the specifics totally depend on the style of your beard. 5. Take Your Vitamins Your beard is what you eat. In order for your beard to to be healthy you'll need to supply it with the right vitamins. You can get these vitamins via food or supplements. If you decide to maintain a healthy diet it will require more attention and will be time consuming. The alternative is getting some supplements that will provide you all the vitamins you need for healthy growth. Vitamins, minerals and nutrients that promote hair growth are: ▶ Biotin ▶ Vitamin D ▶ Vitamin A ▶ Zinc ▶ Protein 6. Testosterone Testosterone, the male hormone and DHT in particular have a direct effect on beard growth. Genetics is a crucial factor here. Some men are blessed with the capability to produce high amounts of T and DHT and utilize them effectively.
