Light unshaven in men

Beard wear is very popular with men of all ages. It can take a long time to grow a long beard. Plus, long facial hair requires daily grooming and a professional haircut. An alternative to a long beard can be light unshaven.

A beard is called light unshaven, where the length of the hairs does not exceed 5 mm. The light unshaven effect can be achieved within 2-3 days after giving up daily shaving. Maintaining this style attracts due to the seeming ease of care. However, in order to look neat, hairs 2-3 mm long require constant grooming.

Correctly grown small stubble will help to give the appearance of even a young man brutality, masculinity, and increase self-confidence.

In addition, short stubble has several other advantages over the classic long beard:

1. goes well with any style of clothing;
2. does not require constant washing;
3. debris will not get stuck in hairs of short length;
4. bristles do not absorb foreign odors;
5. if the trim fails, the short stubble is easy to shave off and grow back.

Considering all the advantages of this style, you should remember about some of its disadvantages:

1. small hairs after cutting can cause itching on the skin;
2. with improper care, short bristles will look like undersized;
3. hairs of this length will prick heavily.

If the decision to grow bristles is made, you should decide on its shape. There are several common forms of small stubble growth. The choice of one or another type depends on the density, hair color, face shape, the presence or absence of a mustache. The bristles are often shaped into one of several shapes.

• Sail. This name implies the need to shave the chin smoothly, and give the sideburns an elongated shape so that they connect with the mustache in one line.

• Russian. The formation of bristles of this shape requires only timely adjustment of its length. Excess hairs are not shaved off, but grow naturally. This shape can give the image a slight untidiness, so it should be strictly coordinated with the style of clothing.

• Anchor. The hair on the chin is shaped like a ship's anchor. Hair growth begins under the lower lip and expands towards the chin. Can be combined with a mustache or worn without it. The rest of the hair growth should be shaved smoothly.

• Brett. The emphasis with this bristle shape is on the chin. When cutting, leave hair growing below the cheekbones. The hairline on the chin connects to the mustache.

• Chinstrap. This shape resembles a thin strip of hair extending from the sideburns, and surrounds the oval of the face. Suitable for chubby men, it will help to make the face more expressive.

• Burnside. It involves a combination of thin antennae with a smooth chin and thick sideburns.

• Garibaldi. It is the most common. Hair is left all over the face. However, this shape assumes the presence of clear lines, so it is better to entrust the edging to a professional.

Regardless of the type chosen, remember that the ideal hair length for a light unshaven effect should not exceed 1 mm for dark-haired men with densely growing bristles.

At the initial stage of regrowth, every man wants to accelerate the growth of hairs. When the required length is reached, many want, on the contrary, to slow down their growth.Despite its apparent simplicity, caring for hairs of even short lengths requires a visit to the salon and frequent home care to maintain a neat appearance. You will need a trimmer for daily stubble maintenance.

In addition, it is often possible to encounter the problem of uneven hair growth or lack of hair in areas of expected bristle growth. In order to enhance hair growth, you can use a number of recommendations.

1. Apply orange, lavender or rosemary oil to your face. They contain active ingredients that improve blood flow to the skin and stimulate hair growth.
2. Do a daily facial massage with a natural bristle brush. This massage will increase the blood flow and the bald spots will disappear over time.

In addition to daily haircuts, you can use special products to make the beard look more beautiful and well-groomed, as well as use some tricks that will simplify daily care.

1. To soften the hairs, a special beard oil should be applied to the bristles after each haircut. It helps soften hairs, remove brittleness and add shine to bristles.
2. When shaving off unwanted hair, it is better to use shaving cream instead of foam or gel. When applying the cream, every hair is visible, which helps to avoid shaving off the desired areas.
3. It is better to consult a professional to give the original shape to the bristles. He will help you make the edging the right shape and give recommendations for further care.
