The good news is that most guys only need a home trim every now and again, followed by some beard oil or moustache wax, to maintain their beards looking their best. However, knowing the ins and outs of the style you're looking for is crucial to having a well-groomed beard. There are many different forms of beards for guys, from full beards to goatees to conventional moustaches, and each has its own characteristics and standards.

While every man has the right to grow a beard, it is every man's responsibility to style it such that it suits his face and attitude. That being said, the majority of beard guys are clueless when it comes to determining which sort of man fuzz will look best on their faces. So, I at Nanda barber, a hair salon downtown in Victoria BC, felt it would be a good idea to give you a step-by-step guide to choosing the right beard for your personality and tips to groom it to the best.

So, before anything else, here is the perfect source on beard styles:

1. Trimmed Style Beard

It was only a matter of time before everyone accepted the fact that men nowadays flaunt nicely trimmed beards. As a result, I have a recommendation for you to look impeccable for any occasion. Looking for a classic? With my trimming skills at Nanda Barber, I am at your service to give you the appearance of a highly trendy man who is always striving to seem fresh and elegant.

Styling Tip: One way to do this is to place your index fingers pointing inwards at the highest point of the cheek line on both cheeks. If they point directly at each other, you're good to go for a sharp trim.

2. Fade Beard Style

Have you noticed that the top beard style trends in 2022 are fades? A smooth line on the cheek that fades down to the jawline creates this unusual, trendy style. The beard is styled with a goatee and an arced chin strap. The beard fade style is one of the most meticulously groomed beard styles, so maintain it fresh if you wish to wear it. Gentlemen, try this bold appearance and prepare to be a presence to remember this year!

Styling Tip: From the bottom of your sideburns to the tip of your moustache, draw a straight or slightly rounded line. Clean up the upper cheek area on the other side, being careful not to poke the clean line you've just produced.



3. Tapered Beard

Growing a thick beard is one of those tasks that is far more difficult than it appears. The longer your beard grows, the more maintenance it demands and the more troubles you'll have. The tapering beard is the most difficult to maintain of all the beard styles, mainly due to its complexity. It will look great on guys with oval faces, but if you have a different face shape, you may need to do some creative trimming to make it fit. Slim, angular jaws and narrow faces can be softened and smoothed out by growing the hair at the chin longer and keeping the sides shorter, whereas round faces can be lengthened by growing the hair at the chin longer and keeping the sides shorter.

Styling Tip: Begin from the ear and draw a straight line to the ends of your lips. To keep your beard line accurate and clean, shave everything above the line.

4. Van Dyke Beard

The Van Dyke beard is a hipster classic named after 17th-century Flemish painter Anthony Van Dyke. Men’s haircut in Victoria BC are getting huge demands for styling tips for this beard style. The Van Dyke beard is similar to a Royal beard in that it includes growing the moustache and chin hair a little longer, providing additional options for styling. Pair a Van Dyke with a fade and comb-over combo and a cup of small-batch artisanal roast to maintain the hipster mood.

Styling Tip: The Van Dyke beard's unique flair comes from moustache wax. Shape the moustache into wings that point upward with a dab of wax, then shape the chin area into a nice tiny point. Agiva Styling clay Wax is a good option.

5. Short Boxed Beard

The Short-Boxed beard, probably the most prevalent beard for guys, is what happens when you allow your facial hair to grow naturally and cut it along your cheekbones and jawline for a nice edge. In terms of length, the Short-Boxed looks best when it's kept neatly trimmed, usually between a half and three-quarters of an inch long, but don't bother measuring with a ruler. Simply cut it to the length that you think looks best.

Styling Tip: The Short-Boxed beard may be simply maintained by applying a little beard oil to the surface in the morning to add shine. Add shine and conditioning to your beard with this premium quality beard oil.

Your beard's ultimate purpose is to provide contrast and complexity to your face. Different face shapes should emphasize different facial features; not every style suits every man.
