Beards stand out potently and have always been a popular fashion statement. Principally because they cover a large part of your face. And because they are malleable and versatile. Looking good with a beard depends heavily on facial characteristics and adopted hair style. Here are 6 contemporary styles frequently chosen. 6. Balbo: Grow full beard for 3-4 weeks. Cut sides, neck and adjust hair on chin to create a letter 'W'. 5. Bandholz: Let beard and moustache grow for several months. Begin to trim to maintain a consistent length thereafter. 4. Goatee: Grow a medium/long stubble and then remove sides with a razor. 3. Van Dyke: Grow a long stubble. Shave off sides and neck leaving the moustache and hair on chin. Trim and shape it regularly to form letter 'v'. 2. Stubble: Simple. Let your beard grow for 1-2 weeks and then maintain by trimming once every few days. 1. Imperial Moustache: Let beard grow for 3 months. Shave or trim everything except the moustache. Shape this region using beard oil or wax to curl the ends to achieve the legendary format.
