Find the Right Beard Style for Your Face

Beard styles can be as varied as the people who wear them. If you're looking for a new look, then we've got you covered. There are many options out there and we wanted to outline all of them so that finding the right style for your face is easier than ever before!

You may have never thought about what kind of beard matches your facial features but it's important to take this into consideration when deciding on a new style. No one wants a beard that looks silly or doesn't suit their face shape.

Beard Styles For The Guy With A Round Face

beard style for round face

For example, a round-faced man should steer clear of goatees or handlebar mustaches because they will accentuate his roundness even further. Beard styles that are great for men with round faces include the full beard, scruffy beard, and clean-shaven.

Beard styles like these help balance out a man's face shape by adding length to the bottom of his face which will make it look more oval in comparison (which is what we want).

Beard Styles For The Guy With A Oblong Face

For example, someone who has an oblong face shape with a long chin might try the Duck Tail Beard style which is longer on the bottom and shorter on top. This beard style will help to shorten your long chin area while also making it look more narrow overall by adding width to your jawline.

Beard styles that are great for men who have oblong faces include the Duck Tail Beard, Van Dyke Beard, and the Balbo Beard. The Duck Tail Beard is longer on the bottom while being shorter on top, making it a great style for men who have long chins that they want to shorten.

The next beard style that would be perfect for someone with an oblong face shape is the Van Dyke Beard which is also shorter on top and longer on the bottom. This beard style will help to shorten your long chin area while also making it look more narrow overall by adding width to your jawline as well. Beard styles that are great for men with square faces include goatees, short boxed beards, and chinstraps.

All of these beard styles are short and will help to create a more angular jawline that helps your face look less square. Beard styles like these work because they add length on the sides of the chin which elongates the entire lower half of your face, thus making it appear narrower overall.

Beard Styles For The Guy With A Square Face

For example, someone who has a round or square-shaped face might try growing a goatee as this is a beard style that works really well for people with oval and diamond-shaped faces. Beard styles like these work because they add length on the sides of your chin which will also help to elongate the lower part of your face, thus making it appear narrower overall (which we want).

Another great option would be to try the short boxed beard style which is similar to a chinstrap but with more hair. Beard styles like these work because they add length on the sides of your chin which will also help to elongate the lower part of your face, thus making it appear narrower overall.

Beard Styles For The Guy With The Diamond Shaped Face

Beard styles like these work because they add length on the sides of your chin which will also help to elongate the lower part of your face, thus making it appear narrower overall (which we want).

How To Tame Your Beard Style

Once you've picked your beard style, there are a few things that you need to do to tame your beard.

Beard Oil

Beard oil is a wonderful product that you can apply after showering or washing your face. Beard oil helps keep your facial hair moisturized and conditioned which will help to prevent beard itch and the dreaded "beardruff."

Beard Balm

Beard balm is also a great product to use after a shower because it provides additional hydration while also helping to moisturize your skin. Beard balm also can help your beard stay in the form of whatever style you've selected.

Beard Kits

When wearing facial hair like the full beard or scruffy beard style, you may notice that they can get out of control pretty quickly. Beard grooming kits are also a great option for men who want to keep their facial hair looking kept and trimmed. Check out the Savage Man Grooming Beard Bundle.

Beard Trimmers

When growing your style out longer it may be difficult keeping everything in check so beard trimmers are also another great product to consider using. Beard trimmers can help you keep your facial hair looking neat and tidy even if it's a bit longer than usual. Just remember, the key to taming any beard style is hydration so make sure that you're moisturizing daily!

Just A Simple Wash

Last but not least, washing your face regularly will go a long way in helping you keep your beard style nice and tidy. Beardruff is a real thing, so make sure to wash your face daily with an all-natural soap or cleanser that won't dry out the skin.
