The Ultimate Guide to Beard Cuts for Men to Level Up Your Look

Do you think your beard is just hair? Think again. A well-chosen beard cut does more than just clean you up – it can completely change your game. We're not talking about following fleeting trends, We are talking about finding the right style that works for you.

This guide cuts through the noise. It gives you the straight goods on finding a beard style that makes you look and feel your best. Here’s what we’re covering:

  • Matching beard cuts to your face shape.

  • Top beard styles that are turning heads right now.

  • Grooming tips to keep your beard in top form.

Let's get started.

Matching Beard Cuts to Your Face Shape.

The best beard cut for you isn't about what's popular – it's about what works with your natural features. Your face shape is the blueprint. Get this wrong, and you'll be fighting an uphill battle. Get it right, and you'll instantly look sharper.

So, how do you figure out your face shape? It's simpler than you think. Grab a mirror and take a good look. Pay attention to the length and width of your face, and the prominence of your jawline, cheekbones, and forehead.

Here's a quick breakdown:

  • Oval: Longer than it is wide, with a rounded jawline. Lucky you – most styles work well.

  • Round: Similar width and length, with softer features. You'll want to add angles and definitions.

  • Square: Strong jawline, with similar width and length. You can soften the angles or go full-on rugged.

  • Rectangle/Oblong: Longer than it is wide, with a prominent forehead or chin. The goal is to add width.

  • Triangle: Wider jawline than forehead. You'll want to balance the proportions.

  • Diamond: Wide cheekbones, narrow forehead, and chin. You'll need to add width to the forehead and chin.

  • Heart: Wide forehead and cheekbones, tapers to narrow chin.

Once you've nailed down your face shape, you can start exploring beard styles that complement it. For example, a full beard can add weight to a narrow chin (think triangle or diamond face shapes), while a goatee can draw attention away from a wider jawline (round face shape).

Using something like our Beard Oil, while shaping your beard, will nourish the hair and keep your skin fresh underneath. Think of it as the foundation for a healthy, head-turning beard. Plus, a little goes a long way – saving you money in the long run.

Top Beard Styles That Are Turning Heads Right Now

Knowing your face shape is step one. Step two? Picking a style that's both flattering and current. While classic looks never truly go out of style, there are always a few front-runners that command attention.

Here are some of the top beard styles making waves:

  • The Short Boxed Beard: This is a close-cropped, neatly sculpted beard. It's clean, professional, and works well on most face shapes, especially oval and square. Think Ryan Reynolds. Maintaining this look requires regular trimming. A quality Beard Balm can help keep those edges sharp and defined.

  • The Full Beard (with a Twist): The full beard is a classic for a reason. But now, we're seeing more variations. Think textured full beards, slightly longer on the chin, or with faded sides. This adds personality and works well for oval, rectangle, and diamond face shapes.

  • The Stubble Beard: Don't underestimate the power of well-maintained stubble. It adds a touch of ruggedness without the commitment of a full beard. It's particularly good for round and square face shapes, adding definition without bulk. Keeping the neck and cheek lines clean is key here.

  • The Goatee (Reimagined): The goatee is back, but it's not the 90s goatee you remember. We're seeing wider goatees, sometimes connected to a mustache, and often with faded sides. This is a good choice for round and heart-shaped faces.

  • The Van Dyke: A stylish look. Mustache separate from a pointed chin beard. Looks great on many men. Brad Pitt comes to mind.

Remember, these are just starting points. The best beard style is one you feel confident wearing. And confidence comes from a well-groomed beard. Using our Beard Butter will not just soften the beard, but it makes grooming all of those styles much, much easier.

Grooming Tips to Keep Your Beard in Top Form

You've chosen your style. Now, the real work begins: maintenance. A great beard cut can be ruined by neglect. Follow these grooming tips to keep your beard looking its absolute best:

  • Wash Regularly: Just like the hair on your head, your beard needs regular washing. Use a dedicated Beard Wash, like ours, a few times a week. This will remove dirt, oil, and that leftover food you forgot about. Seriously, it happens. Our Beard Wash is formulated to cleanse without stripping away the natural oils your beard needs.

  • Condition Consistently: After washing, always follow up with a Beard Conditioner. This will soften the hair, making it more manageable and reducing that dreaded beard itch. It also helps to prevent beardruff – nobody wants that.

  • Oil Daily: Beard Oil is your ultimate weapon. A few drops daily will hydrate the hair and the skin underneath, preventing dryness and promoting healthy growth. Our beard oils feature unique scents of the month, so you can keep things interesting.

  • Balm for Styling: For styles that require more hold, reach for Beard Balm. It provides a light to medium hold, helping to tame flyaways and shape your beard. Think of it as the styling product for your face.

  • Brush or Comb: Use a quality beard brush or comb, like the ones from Kent that we offer, to detangle and distribute the product evenly. This also helps to train the hair to grow in the direction you want.

  • Trim Regularly: Even if you're growing your beard out, regular trims are essential. This removes split ends and keeps your beard looking neat and tidy. Invest in a good pair of beard scissors or a quality trimmer.

  • Don't Forget the Mustache: If your chosen style includes a mustache, give it some love too! Use Mustache Wax, like the one in the Kingsmen Premium line, to style and shape it.

  • Eat a Balanced Diet: Nutrients make everything work. From head to toe. Fueling yourself correctly will help the beard.

  • Stay Hydrated: Just like your body, your beard benefits from hydration. Drink plenty of water.

Following these tips will ensure your beard is not just a statement, but a well-maintained statement. Remember, a great beard is an investment – and it's one that pays off.
