With our archives now 3,500+ articles deep, we\u2019ve decided to republish a classic piece each Sunday to help our newer readers discover some of the best, evergreen gems from the past. This article was originally published in February 2021.<\/i><\/p>\n

The popularity of beards has waxed (the mid 19th century) and waned (the 1950s), and for the past decade or so has been on the definite upswing. Maybe you\u2019ve tried growing one out yourself. Maybe you did it willy nilly, deciding on your beard\u2019s length\/style as you went along. Or, perhaps you took a more intentional approach and looked up the copious advice out there on which beard type was right for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s likely when the trouble started.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because most of the guides out there on men\u2019s beard styles are terrible.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are those which highlight categories like the \u201ccorporate beard\u201d and the \u201cshort beard\u201d as separate beard styles . . . but when you look at them, they look exactly the same. <\/span><\/p>\n

Or, these guides will give beard styles weird names that often just seem made up. If I were to go to a barber and say, \u201cI want the \u2018Garibaldi\u2019 beard style,\u201d would that mean anything to him, or would he just look at me like a weirdo?<\/span><\/p>\n

To cut through all this noise, I asked an actual barber \u2014 <\/span>Thad Forrester, owner of <\/span>Hudson \/ Hawk Barber & Shop<\/span><\/a> \u2014 for his take on the advice that currently inhabits this space on the interwebs. Thad said:<\/span><\/p>\n

The guys who write those beard style articles have been playing too much <\/span>Red Dead Redemption<\/span><\/i>. While beard styles have names in cowboy video games, 99% of barbers would have no clue what you mean if you asked for a \u2018Garibaldi\u2019 beard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, most beard style guides don\u2019t actually guide you on how to pick a beard that will actually look good on your face. So you end up with guys seeing a beard that looks good on some guy on the internet, and trying to grow that same beard, but then end up looking ridiculous in the process. You\u2019ve got to pick a beard style that works for you.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fortunately, Thad followed up this critical appraisal with tips on how to do just that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below, he helps lay down a no-nonsense guide to picking the best beard style for your face. No silly names included. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Prerequisite: Grow Your Beard Out For a Month (Minimum)<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before deciding what beard style you\u2019d like, you need to grow your beard out to see what you\u2019re working with. Thad recommends letting things grow out for at least a month:<\/span><\/p>\n

After a few weeks, you can tell what sort of beard a man will be able to grow just by looking at the density of the hair on the face and the hair texture on the face. Some guys will have really thick, full beards, and other guys will have more patchy beards like mine. The thickness of your beard growth will be a big factor in determining what beard styles are open to you. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Make sure to check out our in-depth guide on how to grow a beard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to Pick a Beard Style That\u2019s Right For You<\/span><\/h2>\n

After you\u2019ve grown your beard out for a month, then you can start thinking about beard styles. <\/span><\/p>\n

When he\u2019s consulting with a client on how to style his beard, Thad steers him to a style that will compliment: 1) the way his facial hair grows in, and 2) the shape of his head.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Thad explains: \u201cIf a guy tries to grow a beard that looks good on a celebrity but wouldn\u2019t compliment their own face and facial hair, they\u2019re just going to look silly. You\u2019ve got to work with what you got.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Criteria #1 for Selecting a Beard Style: Facial Hair Thickness<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If your beard is thick, you\u2019ve got more styling options. <\/b>If your facial hair grows in nice and thick, you\u2019re going to have multiple choices on how to style it. \u201cWhen you have a thick beard, you\u2019ll be able to pick a style that\u2019s closely cropped to your face <\/span>or<\/span><\/i> grown out,\u201d Thad said. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If your beard is patchy, keep your beard short. <\/b>\u201cIf mother nature has endowed you with a patchy, sparse beard, your options are going to be limited on beard styles,\u201d Thad said. \u201cIf you try to grow a long beard, it\u2019s just going to look stringy and unkempt.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t have <\/span>any <\/span><\/i>facial hair. For a guy with patchy facial hair, Thad recommends sticking to stubble or closely cropped beards. But keep things cropped along your <\/span>natural<\/span><\/i> facial hairline.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thad has noticed that many guys with patchy beards go for the chin strap beard style that was popular in the late 90s. \u201cBecause guys with patchy beards have a hard time growing facial hair on their cheeks, they\u2019ll just keep their cheeks clean-shaven, but let their beard grow along their chin,\u201d Thad explained. \u201cIt\u2019s a pretty dated style and has been declining in popularity for the past few decades or so. I never thought it was a good look even when it was popular twenty years ago.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

If the only way you can keep your beard trimmed to your natural facial hairline is to do a chin strap beard, having a beard at all may not be for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alas, here we have the so-called \u201c<\/span>Matthew effect<\/span><\/a>\u201d in action: to he who has more beard, more beard will be given, but from he who has little beard, even that which he has will be taken away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Criteria #2 for Selecting a Beard Style: Consider the Shape of Your Face<\/h2>\n
\"\"

After looking at whether you have patchy or full facial hair, Thad recommends looking at your face shape when determining your beard style. \u201cThe goal is to make your head look as oval as possible.\u201d In aiming at an oval shape, you increase your head\u2019s overall symmetry and proportionality.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means you need to consider how <\/span>long<\/span><\/i> your beard goes below your chin and how <\/span>wide<\/span><\/i> it grows out from your face. \u201cSome face shapes will look better with a beard that grows long beneath the chin but is kept cropped, so it doesn\u2019t grow out wide. Or you may have a face shape [where the beard] would look better shorter and closer to the chin, but grown out a bit wider to give your face width,\u201d Thad told me.<\/span><\/p>\n

When choosing a beard style, you also need to consider your hairstyle. As Thad explained in our article about choosing the best haircut for your face shape<\/a>, \u201cIf you have a long rectangle face, having a haircut with height plus a long beard is going to make your head look even longer, like Beaker from the Muppets. You don\u2019t want that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Below we get into the specifics of what types of beard styles go best with different types of face shapes; they\u2019re described in simple terms \u2014 short\/wide\/long \u2014 that you should be able to readily understand yourself, and communicate with your barber if needs be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oval Face. <\/b>If you have an oval face, your beard options are limitless. \u201cShort beards, long beards, full beards. All look good on a man with an oval face,\u201d Thad says.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Round Face.<\/b> If you have a round-shaped face, you want to pick a beard and hairstyle that will give some length to your face. A longer beard will do just the trick. \u201cAvoid really short beards or stubble if you have a round face,\u201d Thad advises. \u201cIt just highlights the fact that you don\u2019t have a chin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oblong\/Rectangle Face.<\/b> \u201cWith a rectangle face, you\u2019ve got to be careful with a few things because the face is longer than it is wide,\u201d Thad says. \u201cYou want to avoid hairstyles and beard styles that make your head look longer and skinnier\u201d \u2014 i.e., the Beaker effect.<\/span><\/p>\n

To that end, Thad recommends that those with rectangular faces choose shorter beards. Don\u2019t let it go too far below your chin.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have a really thick full beard, feel free to let your beard grow out (not in terms of vertical length, but literally <\/span>out<\/span><\/i>); the thickness will give some needed width to your face and make it look more oval. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Square Face.<\/b> The square-shaped face is a classically masculine face shape. You want to avoid beard styles that make your face look wider. \u201cGuys with square-shaped faces can\u2019t go wrong with keeping their beard and hairstyle closely cropped. Think Jason Statham: buzz cut and stubble. It\u2019s a really good look,\u201d Thad says.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Diamond Face. <\/b>Men with a diamond-shaped face have wide cheekbones but narrow jaw and brow lines. \u201cA nice full beard can expand the skinny jawline on a diamond-shaped face,\u201d Thad told me. \u201cCombine that with a haircut that adds some width to your forehead, and your diamond-shaped face is starting to look more like that ideal oval.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Triangle Face. <\/b>Triangular faces start with a wide jawline, narrow a bit at the cheekbones, and then narrow even more at the forehead. Thad recommends that men with triangle-shaped faces avoid beards altogether. \u201cA beard will just make your already wide jaw look wider and make your forehead look even more narrow and pointy,\u201d he says. If you want facial hair, just go with some stubble. <\/span><\/p>\n

If You Want a Fancy Beard, Show Your Barber a Picture of What You Want<\/h2>\n

With the guidelines above, you\u2019ll be able to pick a beard style that will look good on you. As with most things in life, you can never go wrong with keeping it simple.<\/span><\/p>\n

But if you\u2019re not satisfied with a simple beard style and want something fancy that you\u2019ve seen on the internet, Thad recommends just showing your barber a picture of what you\u2019re going for: <\/span><\/p>\n

Most barbers have no clue what a French Fork or Verdi is, so just show them a picture of it. And if they\u2019re a good barber, they\u2019ll let you know if that style would even look good on you.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There you go. How to pick the best beard style for <\/span>you<\/span><\/i>. Save the weird names for <\/span>Red Dead Redemption<\/span><\/i>, which, by the way, is a dang cool game.<\/span><\/p>\n
