Men's fashion changes over time, but the beard has been and remains one of those elements that is designed to emphasize masculinity, sexuality and, possibly, some severity of its wearer. Although facial hair does not suit everyone, it can be used to emphasize the strengths of the appearance and hide its imperfections. The beard should be in harmony with the hairstyle of the man, so as not to violate the overall style of the chosen image. In this article, we will consider how best to combine men's hairstyles with a beard.
What are beards
Currently, stylists offer the following options for facial hair:

To determine the choice of hairstyles with a beard, you need to take into account the shape of the face.
Which beard suits you
After the phase of growing vegetation on the face, which lasts approximately two weeks, you can proceed directly to the formation of a beard. In this case, the following features should be considered.
- Owners of an oval shape of the face are suitable for absolutely all options. The main thing is to correctly combine a beard with a hairstyle.
- Men with a rounded face fit a trapezoidal beard.
- Narrow-faced men should pay attention to a full beard and similar models.
- Owners of a rectangular face are suitable for round beards in combination with tanks.
- A trapezoidal face shape will help to correct the skipper beard.
- For men with a triangular face shape, stylists recommend beards of a square shape (like a horseshoe).
A haircut, like a beard, is chosen taking into account the shape of the face. If the choice is made correctly, the man will look irresistible.
Business office style
In this case, a short hairstyle with a three-day stubble beard is ideal. Short hair can be styled sideways, parted or combed back. Anderkat haircut is perfect for business style.
It is characterized by the absence of a smooth transition between long and short hair and the combination of a long bang with shaved temples and the back of the head. In addition to the three-day stubble, several types of beards are suitable for the “Anderkat” haircut, the simplest of which is balbo, which will give restraint and elegance to the image. Lovers of daring shocking style are invited to combine shaved whiskey with a voluminous beard, creating a sharp contrast with them. The middle option is that the vegetation starts from the side of the sideburn and gradually becomes longer towards the chin, taking the form of a cone.

It is only important to know what type of facial hair will look harmonious with a particular haircut. How fashionable men's hairstyles are combined with a beard:

Hipster beard
A long well-groomed beard of perfect full shape has become a hit of the current season. She has a slightly sloppy appearance, but this sloppiness is the result of regular, thorough maintenance. To create a harmonious look, she is worn with the appropriate hairstyle and hipster outfits - leather boots, plaid shirts and denim jackets.
A combination of such a beard with a short haircut is considered to be special chic. In order for this combination to look harmonious, the beard must be well-formed and have a well-groomed appearance, and the hair should have a sufficient volume.
Grunge hairstyles
Men's hairstyles in grunge style go very well with a beard . A feature of this style is some randomness in styling, slanting fringe and shaved whiskey. Disheveled hair goes well with tattoos, piercings and beards, emphasizing the rebellious spirit of men. The whole essence of the grunge style is embodied in his image by actor Johnny Depp. He clearly demonstrates that they are best combined with such hairstyles for goatees such as goatee.
Long hairstyles for men with a beard
Many representatives of the strong half of humanity prefer long hair. Such hairstyles go well with a beard. It is important to choose it correctly in accordance with the type of face and the overall style of the image. Those who prefer to wear long hair with loose hair should opt for a small neat beard. A large beard combined with long hair can create a scruffy effect.
However, modern fashion trends offer different options for long hairstyles for men, which allow you to deviate from this rule. The most popular option for long hair is a bun. It can be collected at the crown, at the back of the head, or just above the neck. In addition, the male hairstyle for long hair with shaved temples looks spectacular. The beard in this case can be Russian, screen or hipster.
Also popular among young people is the image in the style of a samurai. It is characterized by a long triangular beard and long hair, gathered in a high bun. Men's hairstyle for long hair can be performed even in a sporty style. In this case, the beard should have a minimum length, light bristles are best.
Informal hairstyle
Representatives of various informal trends prefer unusual, shocking hairstyles. These include, for example, styling with dreadlocks. It’s difficult to choose a beard for a hairstyle with dreadlocks. The combination of such a hairstyle with a beard looks oversaturated. Dreadlocks and a beard are lost against each other. An exception is the goatee, which dreadlock lovers can safely use in their image.
If long hair is combined with a long beard, you can decorate the facial hair by forming pigtails or tails from it. Despite the general recommendations, the combination of a beard with a hairstyle for each man is individual and depends on the appearance. Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of experiments that will help you find your one and only image.
