grossing films such as The Avengers and Iron

Man, has been maintaining the Balbo look for
years as it matches his features pretty well.

Match:
Men with narrow chin

You need to grow a full beard in order for you to
have ample hair for shaping. Do not shave for 4
weeks or until the beard has fully grown. You
also need to grow a mustache. It requires careful
sculpting so you need good razors to achieve the
appropriately.

Bandholz
Bandholz beard style was popularized by Eric
Bandholz, founder of Beardbrand
(http://www.beardbrand.com/). He was into the corporate

world until he fell in love with beards. He got

negative comments because of his drive to grow
his beard until its limit, thus, he has quit his job
and decided to put up Beardbrand

Beardbrand was just a community before. Eric

posted blogs, YouTube videos, and Tumbler
entries to provide information to enthusiasts
who would like to keep their beards at its finest
condition. Later on, he has decided to turn it into
a business by offering high-quality products that
really work wonders. From beard oils, washes,
and softeners, to scissors and combs, the
Beardbrand is certainly a one-stop shop.

Match:
Triangle, Inverted Triangle, Oblong, Oval or
Diamond face shapes

How to Achieve:
Growing a Bandholz require patience. At first,
you will look patchy and unkempt especially
during the first 4 months. You need to have the
patience to keep it untouched. Throw away your
razor and scissors; you won’t need them for
months. Just let it grow until it reaches the
maximum length you can genetically grow. You
can start shaping and cutting it 7 months after,
or you can keep it as is, depending on your
preferences. What is nice about the Bandholz is
that you can keep it freely unlike other beard
styles.

Clean Shaven
people would rather not grow their facial hair as
it looks clean and tidy. It will never be out of
trend, especially if you are part of the corporate
world which will require you to look at your best.
In fact, according to some surveys, women prefer
men who shave.

Match:
All face shapes

How to Achieve:
Go grab your trimmers and razors – a disposable,
an electric or a cartridge, just take off that
growing facial hair!

4. Circle Beard

beard is a combination of mustache and
rounded goatee beard styles. It looks tidy, thus,
making it a good option for men who would like
to look presentable without letting go of their
beard.

Match:
Oval and Round face shapes

How to Achieve:
Make sure that you have grown a reasonable
amount of hair to avoid over trimming or
shaving. It would be best to visit a salon to
perfectly achieve the circle shape as it can be a
bit fussy. As soon as you have acquired the right
look, you can do the succeeding trimming and
shaving on your own.

6. Friendly Mutton Chops

The friendly mutton chops are also referred to as
the sideburns, sideburns or side whiskers. The
term “sideburns” was derived from Ambrose
Burnside (http://www.civilwar.org/education/history/biographies/ambrose-
burnside.html), a renowned American Civil War

7. Full Beard
The manliest and much preferred by men
among all the beard styles, the full beard
(https://www.mens-hairstylists.com/full-beard) is certainly

something you must not miss this 2019! Well-

groomed full beard is more attractive as it

Match:
Diamond, Triangle or Inverted Triangle face

How to Achieve:
The full beard depends on your genetics. If you
grow hair all over your face, then achieving it is
easy. You just have to let the hair grow until
medium stubbles and shape it evenly using a
razor. Stop shaving until 6 weeks so as to attain

8. Garibaldi
Do not have ample time to keep your beard
looking kempt? The Garibaldi is perfect for you!
It is a bit shorter than the Bandholz, thus,
trimming it once in a while is required.

Match:
Oval or Rectangular Face

How to Achieve:
You have to grow your beard for months, about 4
months depending on how quick you grow your
beard until it reaches 15-20cm. Trim and shape
the lower area from time to time to make it look
round.  The mustache’s length is something that
you should also keep neat as the focus should be
on the beard. No styling aids required as it has to
look natural.

Imperial
Imperial became popular during the Second
Empire. It is not actually a beard style but a
mustache. However, you can incorporate it with
your sideburns or chin beards, like what Mel
Gibson has done on his beard. Just make sure
that you keep the beard simple so as to keep the
imperial mustache as the highlight of your face.

Match:
Rectangular or Oblong Face

How to Achieve:
Do not shave for weeks, or even months, until
you have acquired whiskers that are long
enough to be shaped. Some enthusiasts say that
they had to wait as much as 3 months until they
have successfully achieved the look.

Shave your sideburns or the hair near your

mustache. Never trim! Make sure you’re your
mustache looks natural, so even if it disturbs you
from eating well or if it falls from time to time,
resist the temptation of trimming to successfully

10. Short Stubble

The simplest among all the beard styles, the
short stubble is something that you can easily
maintain as there will be no “special” method
just to achieve the look. It looks manly yet does
not make you look untidy.

Match:

shapes

How to Achieve:
Just don’t shave your beard and mustache for 1 to
2 days. After that period, just trim it to keep it’s
short length. If you grow hair above your cheeks,
just shave it habitually to maintain the look. You
can also shave the hair growing on your neck
area, keeping the stubbles focused just around
the lower area of your face.

Medium Stubble
who forego trimming their short stubble, then
you can go for the medium stubble. If it fits your
personal style then, by all means, stick to it just
don’t forget to trim approximately 3 to 5mm
long. It will probably make you look scruffy a
little bit, but if properly maintained, it will surely
bring out your machismo image.

Match:
All face shapes

How to Achieve:
Make sure that your beard doesn’t go beyond
your cheek and neck area, so trim or shave all
those excess growths. Keep the length no more
than 5mm so you should have a good trimmer as
you will use it at least once every week.

Long Stubble
Measuring about 6mm, the long stubble is kinda
tricky to maintain compared to the short and
medium counterparts as it has to be trimmed
well to get rid of stray hairs, especially those that
grow on the cheek and above Adam’s apple.
How to Achieve:
Do not shave your beard for a week or two, until
it reaches 6mm. Keep it well trimmed so that it
will look like a “shadow” on the lower third area
of your face. Make sure that you get rid of the
stray hair using a trimmer or shaver.

Van Dyke
This beard style was derived from a popular
Flemish painter from the 17th century, Anthony
Van Dyke, as it was his signature look. It is a
mixture of a goatee and a mustache, with a
much delicate precision.

Match:
Men with narrow chin

How to Achieve:
Wait until your beard becomes long stubbles.
Slowly shape your beard using a good shaver.
Shave off all the hair on your neck, cheeks and
it reaches about 2 inches. Trim once in a while to
achieve the V shape.

Keeping your
Beard Styles
Taking care of your beard should be done
appropriately. Longer beards require thorough
care (http://www.webmd.com/men/features/beard-care-tips) to keep it
resplendent. Keep in mind that you have to keep
shampoo and conditioner will keep it soft and
clean. Using a conditioner is also advisable. After
washing, gently dry it using a soft cotton towel.
If there are tangles, use a wide-toothed comb.
You can also use beard oils and waxes to keep it
well-groomed.

We hope you have successfully found what you

want this 2019 with the help of our list of beard
styles.
