Full beard with sharp lineup
A full beard with crisp cheek and neck lines.
Goatee
A chin beard, with or without a mustache.
Faded beard
A beard blended into the haircut with a taper.
Long natural beard
A full beard allowed to grow with the texture.
Grooming tips
- Use a soft brush and moisturizing oil to reduce dryness and breakage.
- Trim in the direction of growth to avoid ingrown hairs, which are common with curly hair.
- Avoid shaving too close. Use a razor with a single blade or electric trimmer.
- See a dermatologist if razor bumps or pseudofolliculitis persist.
Frequently asked questions
Use a sharp single blade or electric trimmer, shave with the grain, and keep skin moisturized. Persistent bumps need medical advice.
