The Plan
Now, let's talk stubble. It's like the laid-back cousin of the full beard, giving off that effortlessly cool vibe. From light stubble to heavy stubble, there's a stubble length for every style preference.
- Light stubble clocks in at 0.5mm to 1mm, perfect for that subtle, rugged look.
- Classic stubble, ranging from 2mm to 3mm, adds a touch of refinement to your appearance.
- If you're feeling bold, go for heavy stubble at 4mm, for that rugged yet groomed aesthetic.
And then there's the mighty +10mm beard. Thick, strong, and undeniably stylish, it's a statement in itself. Plus, it's versatile enough to complement various face shapes, whether you're square-jawed or heart-faced.
So, is the +10mm beard calling your name? With its blend of sophistication and ease, it's a go-to choice for the modern gent. Whether you're sealing deals in the boardroom or hitting the town with friends, this beard has got you covered in style.
The Right Fit
When it comes to facial hair, one size definitely doesn't fit all. Just like a tailored suit, your facial hair should complement the unique contours of your face. In this guide, we'll explore the art of facial hair grooming, specifically tailored to different face shapes. Whether you have a square jawline or a heart-shaped face, there's a perfect style waiting for you.
Start by using this chart to determine your face shape.
Square Face:
For those with a square face shape, the goal is to either soften the angular features while adding definition or accentuate the strong angular lines around the jaw. Opt for styles that balance out the sharp lines, such as a short beard with rounded edges or a stubble look. Avoid overly structured styles that accentuate the squareness if you want to soften the angular features. To bring out the jaw line chose a style that is short around the cheeks and jaw bone and leave a goatee or length around the chin to soften.
Round Face:
To elongate a round face shape, focus on creating the illusion of length. A well-groomed beard with clean lines along the jawline can add definition and structure. Consider a goatee or a Van Dyke beard to elongate the chin and create a more oval appearance. The idea here is to Crete corners rather than remove them.
Oval Face:
Lucky you! The oval face shape is considered the most versatile, allowing for a wide range of facial hair styles. Experiment with different looks, from a full beard to a clean-shaven appearance. Just be sure to maintain balance and proportion, avoiding overly heavy or sparse styles.
Diamond Face:
For those with a diamond face shape, the goal is to soften the cheekbones while adding fullness to the chin and jawline. Consider a short beard with rounded edges or a chinstrap beard to create the illusion of width at the chin. Avoid styles that add too much volume to the cheek area.
Triangle Face:
With a wider jawline and a narrower forehead, the triangle face shape benefits from styles that broaden the upper face while slimming the jawline. Experiment with a moustache or a goatee to draw attention upward. Keep the sides of the face clean to maintain balance.
Conclusion:
Finding the perfect facial hair style is like finding the perfect accessory—it should complement your features and enhance your overall look. By understanding your face shape and choosing the right grooming techniques, you can achieve a tailored look that's uniquely yours. Experiment with different styles, have fun, and embrace the power of facial hair!
