Beard Grooming Styles

Are you tired of looking like a baby-faced, smooth-cheeked, clean-shaven style, from the classic full beard to the edgy beard without a mustache and everything in between? Get ready to transform your face from a blank canvas into a masterpiece of facial hair. So put down your razor, grab your trimmer, and let’s get ready to grow! (Disclaimer: Wadadli Beard Culture is not responsible for any sudden urges to wear flannel or chop wood that may arise while reading this post.) Here are Five Beard Grooming Styles.

Full Beard

The full beard is like the granddaddy of all beards. It’s the classic, no-frills option that lets your hair grow wild and free, covering your entire face with a dense thicket of manliness. It’s the kind of beard that makes people say, “Wow, that guy’s got a beard,” and then nod in respect.

You can shape it, trim it, or leave it alone, depending on your personal preference, but the key to a full beard is to let it do its thing and embrace the wild, untamed nature of your facial hair. If you’re looking for products to maintain your beard, look no further than HERE.

Stubble

The stubble beard is like the bad boy of beards. It’s the kind of beard that says, “I don’t have time for grooming, but I still look good.” It’s short, it’s scruffy, and it’s low-maintenance, making it a great choice for guys who don’t want to spend hours trimming and shaping their facial hair. The stubble beard can be a bit prickly, but that’s part of its charm. It’s like a warning sign that says, “Don’t mess with me; I’ve got a beard.”

Goatee

The goatee is like the fancy pants of beards. It’s a stylish and sophisticated option that requires a bit more effort than other beard styles. The goatee consists of a small, pointed beard on the chin, often paired with a mustache. It’s a great choice for guys who want to add a touch of elegance to their look, and it works well with a variety of face shapes. Just be careful not to let it get too pointy, or you might end up looking like a cartoon villain.

Van Dyke

The Van Dyke is like the art school dropout of beards. It’s a unique and eye-catching style that combines a goatee with a mustache, creating a distinctive look that’s hard to ignore. It’s named after the famous Flemish painter Anthony Van Dyke, who popularized the style in the 17th century. The Van Dyke beard is ideal for guys who want to stand out and show off their individuality. It’s like a work of art on your face, except instead of a canvas, you’re using your facial hair as the medium.

Beard Without Mustache

The beard-without-mustache is like the rebel without a cause of beards. It’s a bold and edgy style that features a full beard without any mustache, creating a unique and unconventional look that’s sure to turn heads. It’s a great choice for guys who want to stand out and show off their individuality, but be warned: this beard style is not for the faint of heart. It takes a certain amount of confidence and attitude to pull off a beard without mustache, so make sure you’re ready to commit to the look before you take the plunge.

In conclusion, there’s a beard style out there for everyone, whether you’re a wild and free full beard kind of guy, a sophisticated and stylish goatee guy, or a rebel without a cause beard without mustache guy. The key is to embrace your facial hair and make it work for you, no matter what your personal style or personality may be. So go forth, fellow beard enthusiasts, and let your facial hair be your guide!

Morning Beard Grooming Routine

Amanda C 12/10/2021

What’s your first order of business when you wake up in the morning? Sit down with your legs hanging off the bed for 15 minutes. Snooze the alarm three times before finally getting busy or sitting on the “throne” scrolling through Instagram? Your daily morning routine often sets the tone for the rest of your day. So, what tone is your morning beard grooming routine setting? How are you grooming your beard? Is it some quick water and Vaseline?

These simple decisions can be the difference between dryness, breakage and possibly shaving your beard prematurely. Beards require maintenance and even though it’s not rocket science, a few minutes daily make a huge difference in the health of your beard.

When it comes to beard care, it’s always best to customize your routine based on your skin, hair type/ texture, and the length of your beard. Customizing your routine prevents you from buying unnecessary products, allows you to be more consistent, and saves you a shitload of valuable time. Let’s start with beard length.

Beard Length

Stubble and short-trimmed beards are the easiest to groom and maintain. They require very little product and time and are seen as the well-behaved A-students of Beard Care University. With all beards, we suggest ensuring your beard is damp or applying a lightweight moisturizer. Followed by sealing with your Wadadli Beard Culture Beard Oil. stubble doesn’t require brushing as there isn’t much to brush. For short beards, apply a dime-sized amount of beard balm to the beard, followed by brushing the beard thoroughly, and you are good to go.

the entire process could take 3-5 minutes.

Fuller beards are the rebellious teenagers of beard care, who sometimes are more trouble than you ever envisioned. The challenge with longer, fuller beards is that natural skin oils are not sufficient to moisturize the entire beard. Thus it tends to get dry quickly, persons with long beards often struggle with tangling, split ends, beard dandruff, and intense itching.

These beards usually require more products, eg. beard wash, moisturizer, oil, balm, brush, and comb. thus they can be quite expensive to maintain, in comparison to shorter beards.

With longer beards, wash the beard every 2-3 days or as needed depending on the amount of dust, product build-up, etc. While the beard is damp, apply beard butter, or beard oil, this is where the routine becomes custom. it all depends on you.

when applying beard oil, apply 3-5 pumps into the palm, rub together and work throughout the beard. Ensure it gets under the chin which is prone to dryness and dandruff. Follow the oil with beard balm, and brush thoroughly with a medium boar bristle brush. The final step would be to detangle your beard with a Comb or Pick, ideally something made from wood or acetate.

Detangling your beard is very important, the more it tangles, the more it gets split ends and breakage and patchy. so take your time, detangle your beard, and then, you’re good to go.

Skin Type

Your skin type determines the types of products you use, it’s as simple as that. For men with dry skin, you can use a lot of oils and moisturizers without worrying about breakouts. But your beard will dry out fast, so you need beard products with heavier oils and butters that will hold up throughout the day. Your morning routine can consist of a leave-in conditioner, oil, and balm.

For men with acne-prone skin, that can be a little more tricky. Men with sensitive skin need to be constantly vigilant about ingredients before choosing and using products. Light oils such as Jojoba, Sweet almond, and Babassau, are always a great option, they don’t block pores and are generally hypoallergenic.

Hair Type

When creating your morning routine, choosing the right products for your hair type are essential. Men with fine hair can get by with beard oil only. No need for heavy waxes and balms which can weigh down hair.

However, if you have thick, curly hair, you need to pull out all the stops. Thick beards are often plagued with dryness, dandruff, split ends, and breakage. So a heavy dose of a water-based moisturizer or leave-in conditioner, a nice heavy beard oil, and balm will be the best way to maintain that type of beard.

Although these steps may seem excessive, less than 10 minutes a day can be the difference between an itchy, dry, beard that breaks constantly and bearded greatness (or whatever other corny super macho lines I could come up with). Give your beard the love it deserves, remember it’s “ Not Your Father’s Beard”.
