Choosing a beard shape?

Beard for the shape of the face.

1) Long face.

If you have a long, narrow face, a beard with minimal length on the chin is best. The longer the beard, the bigger your face will look. With a pointed chin, choose a thicker beard on the sides, this will help achieve a smoother oval face shape.

2) Round face.

For a round face, choose an oval/diamond shape by trimming the beard as short as possible on the cheeks, then gradually increase the length of the facial hair as it moves down the chin line. Refrain from sideburns, they will add extra volume on the sides.

3) Square face.

If you have a square face and you want to make the shape of the chin less aggressive, trim the beard on the sides, allowing it to grow around the chin. This type of face is characterized by pronounced masculinity and brutality. Focus attention on the chin, this will help smooth the shape of the jaw and visually stretch the face.

4) Triangular face.

Does your face resemble a heart in shape? Then you can safely grow a beard to almost any shape, and yes, you are very lucky, with the help of a beard you can even out the proportions of your face. An advantageous combination of thick, diagonally cut mustaches of medium density with a slight extension of the bristles in the chin area also harmonizes this type. Grow a thick beard, visually weighing down the lower part of the face. You can add a mustache, so the image will look fresh.

Emphasize the merits, hide the flaws.

1) Double chin.

Growing a beard is a simple way to cover a double chin, give your face a clearer look and hide a second chin. The key to fighting a double chin is length. Let the beard grow a little, and you will be able to hide the upper part of the neck, this will visually reduce the face.

2) "Not manly" chin.

If you have a weak jaw line and you want to increase it a little, the best option would be to grow a thick beard, so you will create the illusion of a stronger, clearer jaw line and chin.

Another good option is the Spanish girl, it will add shape to your jaw and create the visual effect of a more powerful chin.
