The short stubble style of beard is arguably one of the most simple ones around. It can be achieved by growing facial hair for a few days after shaving. This type beard looks very short.

Medium Stubble
As the name suggests, a medium stubble is a beard style slightly longer than the short stubble. While the short stubble can be achieved by growing the beard for 1 to 2 days, a medium stubble may require a couple of days more. A medium stubble can be anywhere between 3 to 5 mm long…
Long Stubble
The long stubble style of beard may be trickier to maintain than its shorter counterparts. It is also referred to as the perfect five o’clock shadow as it presents as an even darkening in the lower third of a man’s face. The long stubble is slightly longer than the medium stubble, measuring…
The Full Beard
The Full Beard is considered a classic style and THE classic way to actually grow facial hair. The full beard can be difficult to achieve as not every man has the ability to grow one.

The French Fork
A French Fork beard is a very distinctive style. It’s still considered a full beard look, but is characterized by hair extending past the chin and splitting down the middle in two segments and is named for the fact that original French forks only had 2 prongs. In recent times, fictional character…
The Ducktail
The Ducktail style of beard is another twist off the original full beard and gets its name from its appearance. By looking at it you can easily see how much the bottom part of this style of beard resembles the tail of a duck. Many beardsmen consider the Ducktail a perfect compromise…
The Circle Beard
The Circle beard is the style for beardsmen who want a neater appearance While having full beards may appear untidy, wild and unkempt to some, the circle beard is a good compromise that allows a man to still keep some facial hair.

The Goatee
A goatee is a type of beard worn on the chin, much like a Billy Goat’s beard and is never supposed to be connected to a mustache.

Extended Goatee
The extended goatee is also called the tailback or the Hollywoodian and it’s a combination of the goatee and the mustache.

The Imperial

The Van Dyke
The theory behind the Van Dyke beard style is simple: a goatee combined with a mustache.

The Anchor

Clean Shaven
