What are the popular beard grooming styles?

Want to grow a beard for the first time but unsure of which style would work for you? Bored with your bearded look and want to go for a new one? Different styles work on different faces. In this article, you will find all the popular styles listed out along with  the kind of face shape they are suited for.

Beard styles for every shape

• Razors Edge

This is a full beard, where the sides are not trimmed. Make sure the edges are kept even. Typically the mustache curls slightly upward at the tip. Slope your hairs towards the bottom, but cut off at the end. Let your sideburns fade in.

• Lines for Days

Here, the mustache is short and trimmed, moving downwards but never meeting the beard. The edges of the beard move down diagonally to a patch below. The edges are sharp and well defined with short sideburns.

• Bold and Thick

This is one of the grooming styles that are very famous today. Angle the top edge down in a diagonal manner with a small patch meeting at your lower lip. It grows about an inch below your chin and is rounded off at the edges. The sideburns blend with the beard and the mustache has thin edges that meet the beard.

Beard styles for an oval or square face

• Uniform

This is a perfect board for working professionals, with the beard around 2 inches below the chin and a nice rounded tip. The mustache blends in with the beard. Keep the length uniform throughout with regular trimming.

• Thin

This is probably the shortest beard with sideburns blending into it. The edges are sharp and have a slight curve. The mustache also needs to be well trimmed into a stubble and meeting the beard. Constant trimming is required for a clean cut.

• Faded

It has a square cut look from the front with sideburns fading into the beard. Its length is about 3 inches with a flat line at the end. Handlebarmustaches work best with it.

• Short

Thin sideburns blend in with the beard, which is short and sits on the jaw line. The mustache does not touch the beard and is inverted upwards. Shape it as per the shape of your chin and give a close trim to keep it clean.
