In the past decade beard has gained its popularity afresh.

Note: these are beard styles for men with already growing hair. If you’re only planning to grow your luxurious beard, then look at the pictures and choose the most suitable cut for you!

As you can see from the picture, this is a very long and stunningly looking beard. Be ready, that it may take you about a year to grow this length, and yet don’t expect that your nature will allow you to grow it this long. But if you manage to grow this beard, you will look like a true Boss.
The greatest advantage of the Boss beard style is that it works literally for any face shape.

How to get the style: To grow the Boss beard you need to begin with fading sideburns. With enough patience they eventually will grow out into a full beard. Be careful with the burns. Professional barbers say that you need to trim them on the outside. While it’s not hard to manage, you still need to pay attention to it. To get the best Boss look, pair this beard style with a nice side part in your hair.

The Bandholz beard style always look impressive, yet it’s a style that won’t work for every man. And the reason is not in the complexity of Bandholz, you simply need to have a bear in order to style it in this way. This beard was originally popularized by Eric Bandholz, whose name it’s now bearing. Today, Eric Bandholz continues creating beard styles as well as beard cosmetics. Should you be willing to purchase one, you can be sure in its quality.
The Bandholz will suit you best if you have oval, diamond, or triangle shaped face.

How to get the style: Once you decide to grow the Bandholz, possess your soul in patience. It takes at least half a year to amass this style. In the meantime, your beard might look unkempt and even completely neglected, yet the result is worth waiting. Your goal is to carefully maintain the length and the volume with cosmetics, but make no cutting or shaping before you reach the required length. After you reach the maximum length possible and comfortable for you, trim and maintain the style.

Another popular beard choice for men able to grow full beards in 2018 is the Garibaldi style. The difference from the Bandholz is in the shape; the Garibaldi is rounder so it complements oval faces. In this case you only need to trim the mustache, while letting the beard grow as long as you wish.
The Garibaldi is advised for oval and rectangular faces.

How to get the style: As it’s also a full length beard style, barbers explain that its shaping is similar to the Bandholz’s. Grow your beard as long as possible genetically without trimming and cutting. However, don’t forget to trim the mustache and cheek areas. To achieve the perfect Garibaldi, round the final length of your beard.

This is classics, that never goes out of fashion. This beard style is only for men who will take good care of it. Razor edges require regular trimming of the beard and mustache and careful razor work on the cheeks and burns. As you can see from the image below, this beard style looks great, but be ready to work for it.
As well as the Boss beard style, Razor Edges work well for all face shapes.

How to get the style: To achieve the Razor Edges, you definitely need to visit a professional barber at least once to learn the basics of this style. You need to achieve the fading sideburns that will give way to a wild, full beard. For a cleaner look, keep the edges nice and don’t trim the sides into the same level. Once you rich the length shown in the picture below, shape it so it curls slightly upwards at the tip. Keep your hair long and gently sloping towards the point below the chin, but remember to cut off at the end.

In spite of common belief that two tone beards work only for elder men with white and other color beards, below you can see that it’s a myth. Furthermore, this beard style allows your not to feel infringed by your non-one-color beard. This beard style is great for men with high status in society.
The Two Tone beards work great for men with oval or round faces.

How to get the style: First and foremost, you need to grow the full beard; ensure that it grows longer that your chin. Once the length is reached, shape it into a pointed goatee shape of sorts.

Don’t try adding handlebars here, better opt for a regular mustache.

If your beard doesn’t grow that well, but the mustache seems to “flourish,” then this beard style will work great for you. This is one of the shortest beard styles, yet it still looks great and effective.
You face shape should be square for the best effect of this style.

How to get the style: You need to grow your hair long with a deep side part or coif. Make sure to trim your mustache into a handlebar. Then use wax to shape it if needed  (the wax is used to create a slight curl at the tips). Don’t let the beard grow in this case, keep it patchy and unkempt.

And the last beard style is for men who cannot grow a full beard and mustache. Even though it doesn’t grow naturally, you still can look amazing.
This beard style works best for oval or square shaped faces.

How to get the style: All you need is let the sideburns come down thin. Make them disappear and fading into the main beard. If you visit the barber, add a defined slight curve at the edges. Carefully trim the mustache, so it looks like a line of stubble meeting the beard closer to the lower lip. For a clean look, keep this beard style trimmed.
