List Of The Best Beard Style For Your Face Shape
Daily, on an average 100s of people wander here and there around us, and our face is the first thing someone sees when they interact with us. And to drop that classy impression on them, you need to take care of your face. But I am not talking about facial skin grooming or anything. I am talking about the beard on your face. If you are a fan of beards and want one for yourself too, then it is integral for you to choose a beard according to your facial features, size, and shape. Because beard will either enhance your face or it may leave you with an unnatural look.
So to look like a man with an epic beard, you will have to try different beard styles until you find one which is perfect and that process takes a very long time. Because growing a beard is not an overnight task and then shaving it all because it was not ideal for your face, then growing again for another style until you find a beard for your face shape is simply a pain. So why go through with all that process when you can have a guide for a perfect beard for your face shape.
YES, I am talking about saving a lot of your time and hard work just to find what beard for your face shape is perfect. It doesn’t matter if you are a round-faced, square-faced or a diamond faced person. As long as you can grow a beard, you will definitely find this guide helpful to get an idea for a beard for your face shape. So let’s see what fits that face you’ve been carrying for years.
Square Face
A square face is a perfect face type of a man. Because with a square face, you can have almost any kind of beard. And the not only beard, but a square face can also rock practically all types of hairstyle, this happens because of the hard jaw lines. You can look at Brad pit or tom cruise for references, as they have square faces. Although they do not rock a beard most of the time, as I said above, beard enhances the facial features of a man. And to improve a square face, you need to make its edges softer.
So to further enhance the features of a square face, the perfect beard style will be a goatee with small hairs on the jaw. The reason I recommended a goatee is that the chin of square face is too short and to make it come out, you will need to grow hairs on the chin as it will give an illusion of a more extended chin. Next is you need to grow small hair on the sides of your face to cover the pointy and hard jawline. The small hairs on the side will help you to manage a soft look.
Oval Face
An oval face is just like a square face in terms of styling, because people with an oval face can get away with almost any type of beard style. The cheekbones are slightly wider than the jawbone. Which gives a soft perception of a jawline and a balanced chin makes an oval face a perfectly symmetrical face type. That is the reason that most of the men try to grow a beard to make their face shape look like an oval face. As a famous Hollywood stylists Carmelo Guastella said:
“Whenever a guy comes to me and asks for advice on his facial hair, I always try to find something that will help him approximate an oval face shape.”
So if you have an oval shape, then you already have it balanced and going clean shave is the best option for you. But, if you want to have a beard then it’s perfectly fine too, because, with oval face shape, you can rock any type of beard. But a subtle beard for your face shape with a little darker hair beneath the lower lip will be perfect to make your already symmetrical facial features come out.
Round Face
The troublemaker shape, as I say it. But by troublemaker, I don’t mean regarding handsomeness, because guys with the circular face are as hot as with squared jaw men. I am talking about trouble while selecting a perfect beard for your face shape. And bear in mind that you will need a beard to make your face look a bit sharp with an illusion of a jawline. And to do that, you will definitely be needing a goatee with sides of your face shaved.
Because you need to have a more extended chin as well as edged jawline and to give that illusion to your face a medium grown goatee will be your best bet. As a goatee will give your face an illusion of an elongated chin and at the same time, it will make your jawline come out. Which will add a little bit of hard and pointy look to your circular face.
Oblong/Rectangular Face
An Oblong or rectangular face shape is common among men who also have a long height. But shorter men can also have an oblong or rectangular face. The oblong/Rectangular face is much like the oval shape, it’s longer and narrower. The chin tends to be somewhat pointy. The benefit of having a long face is that you do not have hard jaws because your cheekbones sit just above your lips and next to your nose. So you don’t have to have a goatee and hairs around jawline to make your face look softer.
But the goal is to make your face a little bit close to square to achieve a perfect look. Keep in mind that men with longer faces will not benefit from a long beard. So what you need to do is grow hair on the sides/cheeks of your face connected with your chin. Now to have a squared look, you need to let your hair grow a bit and then have them trimmed equally. Start with number 8 trimmer and then go down until you have a somewhat squared face look.
One of these styles included in this guide will be a perfect beard for your face shape. But it is not necessary to follow these styles. Because everyone has their preference and you have your own beard style preference. But to give you a little guidance of how to enhance your face, this article is perfect.
