Choosing a beard shape by face type

Today, many men prefer to wear well-groomed beautiful beards that stylize the image of a courageous, respectable, self-confident person. In addition, the beard well hides the irregular oval of the face, irregular jaw and many other imperfections. But if the shape of the hair on the face is not chosen correctly, even the ideal appearance can be disfigured. In the article we will tell you what types of beards exist and how to choose them correctly for yourself.

To choose the right beard contour for a particular person, you must first decide on at least two things:

• what type of person is;
• what forms of beard are currently relevant.

And only then find out the nuances of the selection of varieties of beards for a particular type of man's face, which determine the final decision. Stylists are best at this, so it would still be nice to contact them.

The easiest way to determine the type of your face is by comparing its reflection in the mirror with the examples in the diagram or photographs of people in the samples.

Consider what types of facial contours exist.

• Oval. Refers to the ideal form. The length is slightly more active than the width of the face, the cheekbones are harmoniously expressed.
• Round. The vertical and horizontal lines are roughly the same. Wearers of this appearance are usually endowed with a low forehead and chubby cheeks.
• Rectangular. The oval is elongated, the width of the forehead and chin almost coincide.
• Square. The chin has well-defined straight lines (often massive), the forehead is expressive, the length and width of the face are almost the same in size.
• Triangular. The forehead is sweeping, wide, the chin, on the contrary, is graceful, wedge-shaped.
• Pear-shaped (inverted triangle). This type of face is marked by a massive chin with a narrowed forehead.
• Diamond-shaped. Faces of this type are slightly extended to the sides and narrow at the forehead and chin.

To understand what type of facial hair is right for us, we need to know the name and have at least a visual idea of ​​each type of beard.

• Anchor. This is the name of the beard pointed downwards, which is perfectly completed with a mustache. At the same time, the cheeks remain without vegetation. The tips of the triangular beard are turned upward, like the "paws" at the anchor, which creates a visual resemblance to it.

• Balbo. An Italian beard has three components: a detached mustache, an island goatee and a goatee. The bearers of such vegetation resemble an extravagant "evil genius" - an image unjustly imposed on us by the Hollywood film industry.

• Goatee. A Spanish beard that fits tightly on the chin. Complete with mustache creates an island of vegetation in the lower part of the face, the cheeks remain open.

• Goat. The vegetation is concentrated on the chin, under the lower lip and is limited by the lateral lines. The length can be any.

• Verdi. Lush, rounded beard, the length of which should not exceed 10 cm. The cheeks are partially shaved. The mustache extends slightly beyond the corners of the lips. They are well-groomed, neatly cut. This beard was worn by the famous Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi.

• Garibaldi. Freely growing beard, but its length does not exceed 20 cm. The vegetation from the temples covers the cheeks, chin and falls down in a lush semicircle. A thick mustache should be well-groomed.This beard was worn by the famous Italian commander who lived in the 19th century.

• Frill. The beard goes around the lower contour of the face in a tight semicircle, while the mustache, cheeks and chin are shaved.

• Russian. This is a large free-growing beard for tough men. It is not difficult to grow it, but it requires careful maintenance, otherwise it will look untidy.

In the old days in Russia, a beard was obligatory for all males. She grew freely, as nature intended. Today men cut facial hair, giving it all sorts of shapes.

Specialists not only know how to make perfect haircuts, but also know how to choose the right type of beard for each individual person. With purposeful shaping of the beard, a too long oval of the face can be rounded, round - elongated, give a square chin smooth lines, and make expressionless narrow cheekbones wider and more masculine. Let's see what type of face will suit this or that type of beard.

A round face with a beard can be visually lengthened, which will help to avoid the effect of geometry "under the compass". They visually change the contour with the help of neatly trimmed vegetation directed to the cheekbones from the chin to each ear. Sideburns are not worth wearing. For owners of round faces, the following types of haircuts are suitable:

• skipper's;
• goat;
• anchor;
• balbo;
• goatee.

An oval face shape is considered ideal, as it meets any type of beard. Its owner does not need to hide or improve anything in their appearance. You can experiment, change your image. Correction of haircuts on the face can only be associated with the direction of hair growth and their density. The following popular beard types are recommended:

• Hollywood;
• skipper's;
• Russian (full);
• islet bristles;
• duck tail;
• Canadian;
• anchor.

The square shape of the face betrays the masculinity and firm character of its owner. For such people, they try to emphasize the brutality with the contour of the beard, and not smooth it. You can admit some carelessness in the image, but do not use long options. Will fit:

• Russian (full);
• balbo (if the jaw is not too massive);
• anchor;
• island;
• skipper's.

The rectangular type has a rougher geometry than, for example, the oval type, so such a face needs to be softened with a beard, rounded at the bottom. The following haircuts will work:

• box;
• goatee;
• French fork;
• duck tail.

People with a small forehead and a massive chin are not so common (this face shape is also called "pear"). A more natural and common type of oval is the inverted triangle. People of this type have a large forehead and a narrow chin. They are encouraged to work with the vegetation with their chin - make it larger. Large beards from ear to ear, round, square are suitable. Cheekbones, sideburns are allowed to be accentuated. The following beard shapes will work:

• balbo;
• anchor;
• frill;
• skipper's.

Wide cheekbones can be corrected with a beard, visually enlarging the chin area. A full beard and mustache will do. The following haircuts can be recommended:

• garibaldi;
• Russian beard;
• anchor;
• verdi;
• balbo.

The beard changes the image of a man. With her, you can look like a courageous or extravagant handsome man, an intelligent professor, a mysterious genius or a real Hollywood hero. A flawlessly cut and well-groomed bristle is as important to style as a good suit or perfume.

But some men are better off with clean-shaven skin.Facial vegetation does not suit them for many reasons, while it depends not only on the shape of the face, but also on the quality of the hair. For the correct formation of the beard, hair growth, their direction, density, stiffness, structure are taken into account. Forgetting stubble is necessary for several reasons.

1. Too tough and unruly vegetation gives the impression of a rude and unkempt person.
2. Weak growth and fragility of fine hairs form a sparse down, which cannot be considered a beard.
3. Curly facial hair requires careful and constant grooming. Those who are not ready for this, it is better not to start.
4. You can not get stubble for people with too sensitive skin that requires cosmetic and medical care. But it also happens that due to skin problems, a man is forced not to shave, so it all depends on the situation.
5. A beard on a too youthful face in some cases gives a person masculinity, while in others it creates disharmony and looks funny. Choose the man himself.
6. It is better not to grow a beard for those with short stature.
7. Sensual plump lips will not look well framed by hair.
8. An overly thin face is not always possible to hide with a beard, sometimes it only emphasizes painful asceticism.
9. You can not start facial hair for those who do not want to take care of it.

Having decided to grow stubble, it is better to immediately consult with a barber than to expose your appearance to dubious experiments.

When deciding to have stubble, remember what you should not do under any circumstances.

• Copy the images of show business stars or other famous personalities. Do not forget that they have their own highly professional stylists. Your vegetation will look like a pathetic copy.
• Don't consider the quality of your hair. For example, with a full beard, not every type of hair will create a harmonious look.
• When growing facial hair, you should not immediately spend money on expensive care products. Wait for the final result, you may not like it, so you will have to go back to your regular razor.
• Carried away by the stubble, you need to remember about other elements of the image so that the appearance is harmoniously formed.
• Do not create a beard shape yourself, especially for a beginner. Better to see a specialist.
• No need to give up a beard because of full cheeks. Barber will tell you what kind of vegetation is suitable for a voluminous face.
