• Beards and facial hair for oval

  An oval face suits almost any beard length, so the deciding factor is the density and growth of your hair.

  Try: Full beards with even length across the jaw and chin.

• Beards and facial hair for round

  A beard that is longer at the chin than the sides adds length and definition to a round face.

  Try: A fuller chin with shorter, tapered sides.

• Beards and facial hair for square

  A strong jaw suits a beard, and a rounded outline adds softness while keeping the length.

  Try: A short to medium beard with a rounded outline at the chin.

• Beards and facial hair for heart

  A fuller beard adds weight at the jaw and chin to balance a wider forehead.

  Try: A full beard with even length that fills in the jaw.

• Beards and facial hair for diamond

  A fuller beard at the jaw adds width where a diamond face is narrow.

  Try: A full, rounded beard that widens the jaw.

• Beards and facial hair for oblong

  A beard that is fuller at the sides than at the chin adds width and shortens the face.

  Try: A full beard with fuller sides and a shorter chin.
