We have done posts around hairstyles, colour trends and such. But this is the first time that we will be doing a post around the modern man’s best asset. The mighty beard!
A beard can make you look unkempt and messy or it can add value to your face. The only difference between the two kinds of beards is a great salon.
Here are some beard styles that are worth a go:

You need to have ample of hair to be able to shape this style. Do not shave for 4 weeks. The style also requires careful sculpting and this is the reason why you must have experienced hands crafting it out for you.
2. The Circle
This is also known as the standard beard. The style offers a rounded look that is also tidy at the same time. The style is best suited for men who have an oval and rounded face types.

3. Extended Goatee
The extended goatee is a combination of a goatee and a moustache, the style is also called tailback and Hollywoodian. The only difference between this style and a full beard is that you take the sideburns off. The hairstyle is great for Square and oval face types.

The style is best suited for diamond, triangle, or inverted triangle face types. Growing out a full beard is not as easy as it seems, it needs proper trimming at regular intervals. Stop shaving for 4 weeks before you go for your first trim though.
6. The stubble
The stubble is the most versatile style that you can keep depending on your skin tone you can maintain either short, medium or long stubble. The style is super easy to maintain if you have a quality trimmer at home, all that you need to do is not shave for a while, the longer you do not shave the longer the stubble, but this does not mean that you don’t have to make an effort to maintain the look.
