This Beard Style looks quite similar to a full beard. The only difference is that the sides are thinner compared to the rest of the hair. The style makes a man look much more groomed and gives the impression that the beard is cared for. If you are looking to make your face appear more angular, this beard is the right choice as the hair follows the jawline closely. If you want to achieve this look, make sure that you take symmetry and precision seriously.  The trimmed edges are the key to a sharp, overall look.

2. The Goatee

If there was ever a bald guy that gave us goatee goals, it is Breaking Bad's Walter White. The character kept it medium length and super healthy. If you have a short, round face – Goatees will add length and provide structure to your look.

If you want to achieve Walter White's iconic goatee, start with full hair coverage. Depending on how fast your hair grows, you will have to wait anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks before you can trim it to the desired shape. During the growth process, make sure you eat well and provide plenty of moisture to the skin so that your hair comes out lush and healthy. When your hair is all grown, time to trim. Begin at the top of your cheeks and then gradually but carefully move down. One crucial step within the process is shortening of the mustache that should be taken care of with a pair of scissors and a wooden comb to ensure precision.

3. Full beard

This style works great for rectangular faces and provides the wearer the ultimate tough guy look. If you opt for this beard, keep in mind that it requires shaping often and needs much maintenance. You will also find plenty of variations in the full beard family, so you can pick and choose the one that works for your facial angles and shape.

4. Short Beard or Stubble
