Choosing the right beard for you

By Blaine Gray


Ok so everyone knows that growing a beard isn't rocket science however there are a couple of things you need to think about before you get on with it. When deciding to grow a beard you also need to think about other considerations - this is what this article is about.

When growing a beard you want it to compliment you and your face. The most important thing we're going to think about is the size and shape of your head and how to grow a beard with what you have got. Everyone has different heads with different shapes and sizes. To make best with what you have we're going to start by selecting a beard to suit your facial shape. We've got a few ideal decisions here:

Long faced man

If you are a man bearing a long face then you might want to consider a beard thats fuller on the sides. This may create the impression of a rounder face as the emphasis is taken away by your beard style. If you had a goatee it would only draw attention to your long face (not that thats a problem fellows.) The mutton chops would help balance the shape of your face if thats what you need.

Round faced man

Again we are working with similar principles as before - if you grow face hair which is longer on the jaw, It'll stretch out your face and make a more even impression. So where the Goatee may seem a terrible idea for the longer faced man, its a sensible choice for you round heads out there. Less outstanding on the sides and more on the chin area.

Square face

Same as the round face you can intend to have less on the sides and longer on the jaw area. This may give more emphasis on the length of your face. A sensible choice may be an anchor or the duck tail.

Oval face

If you have got the pleasure of bearing an oval shaped face then you're a fortunate man. Any beard or moustache style will work with you, the world is your oyster! There is nothing holding you back so you have free reign.

The final thing is to think about is the size of you face. If you have a massive face then make sure you have a big beard and tash to match! You need a full, thick beard with a thick moustache because anything small will only make you head look gigantic. If you've got a small head, again think tiny - anything big could make you look like a pea head so keep it on a small scale.

These are all only ideas to consider when choosing your beard style, just concepts to maximise your face and help narrow your decision. Choose any style you would like but perhaps this may give you a guide on where to start. Whatever you choose just let it grow!?
