A short Scottish beard is nothing more than an Abraham Lincoln-style edging. This is a skipper beard with no clear cut standards. In the classic look, this design does not have a mustache; medium-length hair is combined with sideburns. The beard completely covers the lower part of the face. However, if it is necessary to hide the problem area of ​​the skin, a neat mustache can decorate the haircut.

This type of beard is also called "duck tail". The style implies an angular type of beard design in the chin area. In fact, this is a variant with a mustache, bristles grown according to the classical principle and decorated with a sharp end that resembles a duck's tail. The style does not accept wide and lush sideburns and hussar mustaches. Naturalness and clarity of form are important.

A beautiful wedge-shaped short beard or "Spanish" is distinguished by a rounded type of edging in the chin area. It makes the face aristocratic and sophisticated. Optionally, it can be supplemented with a mustache and sideburns. It is divided into 3 types: classic (pointed in shape, without a mustache with bristles on the chin), circular (with thin antennae connecting to the beard) and Vandeykovskaya (with separate antennae and a wedge-shaped island in the chin area).

This design option is adored by many media personalities. The beard covers the bottom of the jaw and chin, connects with the mustache. It happens partially or completely reaches the temples. Otherwise called "bretta", the vegetation can end 1-2 cm below the center of the cheeks. The second border is located just above the Adam's apple. This haircut is suitable for owners of round and oval face shapes.

This design looks like a ship's anchor. The short bristles run along the jawline, connecting to a narrow band under the lower lip. The temples and cheeks are shaved, the design is complemented by a neat mustache, which can be traditional or divided into 2 parts across the upper lip.

This variety got its name from the name of the military and political leader Italo Balbo. The design is very unusual. It has a neat arcuate mustache, an irregular hourglass island under the lower lip, turning into 2 stripes in the chin area. The mustache should not be attached to the bristle strip. Tanks are not provided for in this design.

This design is distinguished by the presence of a thin line of thick bristles located from the cheekbone line. It does not have a mustache, it is considered a fashionable youth haircut for stubble. Visually rounds the lower part of the face, smoothing out its contours. Does not provide for the presence of sideburns, otherwise called "waist" beard.

Most of all, a short man's beard suits the owners of an oval face. They can afford to choose almost all design options, adjusting the jawline and the shape of the cheekbones. A short beard is least suitable for people with small facial features. It visually makes them even smaller and disproportionate.

In other cases, everything is individual. but an experienced barber can choose a design option for almost every type of face. According to experts, with a diamond shape, a longer beard is preferable. With a round one, visual lengthening is necessary. A duck tail design or other design (goatee, French fork, goatee) will do.

Short stubble with a beard looks good on owners of a square-shaped face. The beard can be deliberately careless, but certainly not long - it can be a variant of the Hollywood or skipper type. However, if the bristle is still fluffy, it is better to refuse such a beard. The same can be said for any face shape: rather than wearing a sparse beard, it is better to be clean-shaven.

If the face is triangular, choose a balbo design to balance the wide forehead and small chin. As for hair color, brunettes are easier.

Speaking about the rhythm of life, it is worth considering: a short beard without clear lines or stubble looks best on adherents of a sports lifestyle. The classic image in clothing is more demanding on the flawlessness of lines and contours. An informal or casual style is in harmony with an image adorned with a balbo or goatee beard. However, the choice can be influenced by the temperament of a particular man.

A short beard suits men of different heights and builds. At the same time, it is better for short guys to choose options with a minimum length, small islands of vegetation and a neat thin mustache.
