FaceSaysShort beard styles
Short beards are low maintenance and easy to keep neat. They suit work settings and most face shapes.
Light stubble
A day or two of growth, trimmed to a uniform length with clippers and no guard shorter than about 1 mm.
Heavy stubble
A few days of growth, 3 to 5 mm. It gives shape to a soft jaw.
Short boxed beard
A trimmed beard with clean cheek and neck lines, about 6 to 10 mm.
Designer stubble
Stubble with sharp lines on the cheeks and neck.
Chin strap
A thin band along the jaw. Works best with a strong jawline.
Grooming tips
