Beard samples. Square face shape. Proper care is the key to success

Fashion goes in cycles and now the time has come again when the beard has returned to the peak of popularity. Walking down the street, did you notice how many young guys and older people with beards are around? I think the answer is obvious. Girls are thrilled by brutal guys, boys become more masculine and sexier in the eyes of the female.

Beards began to grow after the 2010s, when the wave of the hipster boom swept over and both genders lost their identities. Beard - a great way to remind everyone that you are a man. Nowadays, there are a large number of types of beards and with that as many nuances regarding the shape of the face, style, degree of density and shade. I warn you, this luxury is worth a lot of effort.

Growing a good and beautiful beard is a rather long process that requires patience. You need to endure that stage of beard growth when you look like a “homeless person”. And so we went:

triangle face shape

The narrow chin so characteristic of this type should be softened a little. A square or rounded beard, as well as a classic type, will visually expand the lower part of the face, thereby removing the obvious contrast of a narrow chin.

round face type

A round face should be slightly coarsened, highlighting the chin. At the right time, a trapezoidal or beard will come from temple to temple. You can also add a neat, medium-sized mustache, which visually helps to lengthen the rounded shape of the face. In addition, a "goat beard" is suitable.

Square

It would be nice to pick a beard to round off the square shape. In this case, sideburns and a chin will come in handy. Do not overdo it with volume, because a beard that is too voluminous will make the face even wider.

Rectangular face shape

This face shape prefers a fuller beard on the sideburns, cheeks and mustache with a shaved chin. A rounded horseshoe beard or regular "tanks" will do. It is necessary to visually expand the face.

Oval

And so congratulations. Owners of the oval shape are the luckiest. It suits almost any beard style. So do not turn on your imagination and experiment.

"Jabot"

Often full, sometimes with shaving of hair on the cheeks. With a full beard, only the upper part of the cheeks and mustache are shaved.

"Garibaldi"

This wide and thick beard goes well with a neat mustache. The case when the beard can look a bit disheveled and sloppy. Grow to 10-15 centimeters, and then slightly rounded its base.

"Short Boxed Beard"

A broad beard of the Old Dutch type, but with a mustache.

"Van Dyke"

The characteristic features of this styling are a long mustache twisted upwards, as well as a vertical strip of hairs that start at the chin and stretch to the middle of the lower lip.

"Balboa"

Worn alone or with an elegant mustache. It is a neat thin beard along the cheekbones without going over the neck. The main feature is the presence of the letter "T" under the lower lip.

Sparrow

We all know the famous Jack Sparrow, after whom this beard style is named. The mustache descends from the corners of the mouth, combined with a goatee divided into two braided pigtails.

"Goatee"

Similar to a goatee, but here the beard occupies the entire rounded chin, and the shape in this case is rounder.

The Zappa

The style of the American multi-instrumentalist - Frank Zappa. Thick, medium-sized mustache with ends down, combined with a small island of beard.

"Hollywood Beard"

Hollywood celebrities have made this beard a favorite of women and many men. Of course, if you want to look like a Hollywood star, you will have to carefully monitor your beard and visit the hairdresser on time.

"Wide tanks"

A style suitable for those who love long and thick sideburns. The chin always remains clean, and what to do with the mustache (to shave or not to shave?) is up to you. It is important here that the lower edge of the tanks clearly follows the lower line of the chin.

"Suvorov"

Starting from the temples, goes down, bordering the cheekbones to the corners of the mouth, and then bends upward, smoothly turning into a mustache. The chin stays clean.

Dali

Thin, thin mustache curling up, like the well-known artist Salvador Dali.

"Friendly Mutton Chops"

Thick sideburns that cover not only the cheekbone, but also half of the face. Along the edge of the upper lip, sideburns are connected to the mustache. The area under the lower lip and around the chin are left bare.

Rap Industry Standard

This beard is made up of very fine contours. Similar to the beard of Henry IV, it runs around the mouth. But it has a difference in the form of a thin strip from the chin to the lip.

"Screen"

A beard growing from the upper part of the face, running along the line of the cheekbone, covering it completely. Mustaches are not needed here.

"Anchor"

The name speaks for itself. In this case, the line of the beard lies along the axis of the chin, passing under the lower lip. Whiskey and cheeks are shaved.

"Whiskers"

Shave only the chin and neck, and grow sideburns in other places. This image will not suit everyone, so make sure that your character matches this image.

Some types of beards can be created at home on your own, but there are also quite specific options that are best left to a professional.

What types of beards are popular in our time is described in the video:

Mustache Varieties

Many of the men can go with a mustache, and you can successfully complement the image with them. They can be combined with a beard, or be without it.

The following types of mustaches are distinguished:

English mustache. Tapered, elongated mustache, suggesting pointed ends and a shaved area above the corners of the mouth
Emperor's mustache. Dense vegetation that is directed upwards and is located above the upper lip.
Dali. Strongly curled up and elongated mustache, named after a famous artist. It is worth considering that they require constant careful styling.
Pyramidal mustache. They are narrowed at the top, widened at the bottom. They look like a pyramid, hence the name. In turn, they have several types.
Walrus. A rather thick mustache that runs along the entire width of the lips, and can cover not only the upper, but also the lower.
Horseshoe. Lush mustache, resembling an inverted horseshoe. They reach the jaw line.
Fu Manchu. Somewhat reminiscent of a horseshoe, but the difference is in the shaved areas above the corners of the lips.
Chevron. Solid and wide mustache, completely covering the upper lip.
Pencil. Thin tapered mustache. They can have different shapes, taking into account individual preferences.
Artist's brush. We are talking about a wide mustache framing the upper lip. They are often stacked, creating a round shape.
Handlebar. Antennae can have different lengths. Their ends curl up. For styling, a special tool is used.
Toothbrush. Medium-sized, rather dense mustache, located directly under the nose. A similar type was worn by Adolf Hitler.
Shade. Similar to the "artist's brush", but the difference is in the sharp edges.

How to choose the right mustache shape is described in the video:

No mustache

If a man prefers not to wear a mustache, then he can choose one of the following haircut options:

Beard Screen (Lincoln). It involves the connection of the temples and runs along the entire chin.
Old Dutchman. It differs by square outlines and by the fact that the area above the undermouth is as smooth as possible.
Norwegian skipper. It resembles a goatee and is distinguished by a wide cover in the lower part of the face.
Model "Insect". In execution, it is similar to the jaws of a beetle.
Goatee. It is located on the chin and slightly lengthens towards the end.
Island. Not below the mouth.

How to choose the shape of the beard according to the type of face?

It is extremely important that the beard matches the oval of the face, otherwise, even with perfect execution, it can ruin the whole image.

The form is determined taking into account the following characteristics:

In an oval face, the length is slightly longer than the widest part, the cheekbones are clearly defined.
In a rectangular, the largest measure is the length. The size of the forehead and chin is approximately identical.
A round face has identical lengths and widths. Its lines are smooth, the chin is not clearly expressed.
In the shape of a square, the length and width are also the same, the forehead is angular, the chin is noticeably outlined.
The triangular face has a narrow forehead, the bottom being its widest part.
In diamond-shaped, the length is slightly greater than the width, the top and bottom of the face are narrow.
Inverted triangle. With this type, the width of the oval will be slightly less than its length. The bottom of the face is narrow, while the forehead, on the contrary, is quite wide.

Reference! For a more precise definition of the shape, you can use a ruler.

Now it is worth considering the features of the selection of a beard for the mentioned species.

Selection by face shape:

Round face. This shape needs to be stretched a little. The beard will fit neatly trimmed, directed to the cheekbones. A goat or skipper uniform may also be suitable. A good choice is a geometric shape. But sideburns then do not need to be used.
Oval face. A generic type that suits almost everything. Men with this type of face can safely experiment with different beard shapes. However, the shade, density, and growth of hairs are also taken into account.
Square face. This type looks very masculine, and the task of the beard is to emphasize this. A full beard is appropriate. Also, the vegetation can be careless, focusing on the bottom of the face. Too long hairs are better not to do.
Narrow long face. Here it is important not to stretch the oval even more. You can also pay attention to a full beard, but it is better to complement it with a mustache. Owners of a narrow oval are not recommended to use rounded lines.
Diamond shape. The task is to visually reduce wide cheekbones. Full massive vegetation, as well as a mustache, will help to make the proportions more correct.
Inverted triangle. Owners of this type should be given the volume of a narrow jaw. Most often, massive beards are used for this, going from one temple to the second. The accent is the hair below the cheekbones. Sideburns are also allowed. Even more correct proportions can be achieved by shaving the chin area.

Although a successful beard can be chosen for almost every face, there are a number of men for whom it is generally not suitable.

These include the following:

If the vegetation is stiff, then the beard may look too rough and sloppy. An alternative then can be bristles.
If fluff grows on the face, it is better not to grow a beard, because its appearance can be simply ridiculous.
We must remember that the vegetation needs care, it needs to be cut and corrected from time to time. For those who are not ready for this, it is better to abandon such an idea.

In the form of a barber tells how to choose a beard according to the shape of the face:

A well-chosen beard can significantly improve the appearance of the stronger sex. But the form and shape are of great importance.

In order not to make mistakes, it is better to get the advice of a specialist who will give valuable recommendations not only on the type of vegetation, but also on proper care.

Chubby brown-haired and brunettes. The beard should be small, raised to the temples. And if you leave sideburns, then not very pronounced. Islet, Balbo, French fork will do.

Brunettes and brown-haired women with a pear-shaped face. The ideal option for such men is a full beard, which requires a minimum of care, and long sideburns will visually reduce the chin.

What beards are in fashion now

There is a lot of competition in the world of male beards. Today, the trend of the 18-19th century is sideburns, goatee, Suvorov. Scientists have proven the theory of evolution, which they called "Negative dependent selection" - a beard becomes fashionable when fewer males wear it. Men began to grow long, thick beards, showing their courage and bravery.

Whether with or without a beard, and how to grow it, with bioderma or naturally, is a personal decision for every man. If you still want to wear a beard, then do not forget about the rules for choosing a beard according to the shape of your face, as well as careful care for it.

Do women like men with beards? Of course, yes, but only on condition that she is well-groomed, tidy and very to their face. Therefore, in order to choose a beard that best suits the type of your face, we advise you to use the following recommendations:

Choose a beard according to your height. If the growth is small, then the beard should be purely symbolic and not voluminous, but with an average, a large one will do.
Blondes can afford thicker hair, but brunettes should not overdo it with sizes.

Choosing the right beard is easy if you know what type of face you have. Each face needs a little correction, because few of us have a perfectly oval shape.

And the presence of a beard in men can visually correct some of the problems of appearance: decorate or give the appearance a more masculine image.

Choosing a beard according to the shape of the face

An incorrectly chosen beard style will not only not decorate, but will also turn a handsome guy into an uncouth “chick”. People will bypass, and girls are unlikely to like such a man.

Therefore, do not rush to grow a beard on your face, imitating any celebrity. To look brilliant and stunning, you need to know how to choose the shape of the beard according to the type of face.

A thin face with sharp features

In this case, a small beard (no more than 2 cm) will become an ornament. It will make your face softer and rounder. A mustache would also be appropriate here.

Round face

For this face shape, you need to do something completely different. In this case, the shape should not be softened, on the contrary, it must be made more elongated. It is best to choose a square or wedge-shaped beard. The goatee beard is suitable for men with a round face shape - it will become more accurate. And sideburns are best avoided, they will give the face a comedy.

Square face

No mustache

Recently, a beard without a mustache has become widespread and popular. And they attribute this to the fact that less care is needed, because there are no mustaches. At the same time, not every girl loves excessive vegetation on a man's face.

You can choose such a beard without a mustache:

old Dutchman - a thick beard from temple to temple, the length can be absolutely any, you just need to shave your cheeks;
island - a beard in the form of a small dotted vegetation located under the lower lip;
goatee and mini goatee;
a Klingon beard, which implies a shaved mustache above the lip, with the remaining parts on the sides joined.

Therefore, if a man does not like his mustache, you can safely shave it off and choose a different type of beard.

Useful about the beard

To maintain the complex shape of the beard, it is best to use a clipper. Experts advise initially to mark the contour with a pencil or pen - this way you can achieve perfect symmetry.
To keep a beard in perfect condition, it must be groomed daily. It is best to purchase a special comb or brush for combing. Special balms and shampoos will also benefit. Every morning, using a machine with a special nozzle, you need to adjust the length of the hair.
If the beard has started to turn gray or you just don't like her hair, then it can be dyed. Here it is important not to make a mistake with the paint, you need to choose a special dye for men, which only gives the necessary shade. The effect is the same, but the hair remains healthy, and the color is as close to natural as possible.
Experts joke about sideburns growing out of your ears. From there, the hair must be removed. If there are few of them, you can use tongs, otherwise a special machine will help.
The beard retains odors, including tobacco. To make the facial hair smell pleasant, you need to use special aromatic oils, because daily washing will not help.

You need to understand that a properly selected beard will become an advantage for any man, emphasize his attractiveness, intelligence and masculinity. This is a great excuse to grow facial hair, but you need to sort through all the styles of beards and choose the one that will suit a particular type of face.
