Determine Your Overall Long Beard Styles

Before you start growing out your bears, it's essential to know what overall style you want to maintain. Are you looking for a rugged and masculine look? Or are you going for a more refined and sophisticated style? Once you have an idea of the overall look you're going for, you can start planning your beard style.

Consider the Shape of Your Face

The shape of your face should determine the shape of your beard. For example, if you have a rounder face, you'll want to avoid styles that add width to your face. Instead, opt for a shorter style on the sides and longer in the center. This will help elongate your face and make it appear more slender. For a long face, you might want to go for a shorter style. If you have an oval-shaped face, you're lucky. Almost any long beard style will look great on you.

Choose the Right Length

One of the most important aspects of a long beard is the honing in the length. You'll want to make sure that it's long enough to style but not so long that it becomes unmanageable. We recommend letting it grow for at least four weeks before trimming it to the desired length. If you know you're aiming for a much longer style, you can trim it lightly around then for style, or you can keep waiting if your hair grows in a manageable shape.

Try Beard Balm or Paste

Once you've determined the length of your long beard, it's time to start thinking about how you're going to style it. Beard balm is an excellent option if you're looking for a light hold. It helps tame flyaways and keep hairs in place.

If you're looking for a stronger hold, then beard paste is the way to go. Just make sure to use a small amount, as too much paste can make your beard look greasy.

Prioritize Grooming

There are a few things to keep in mind when styling a long beard. First, you'll want to make sure your beard is well-groomed. Good grooming requires combing it regularly and trimming any stray hairs.

Experiment With New Styles

Once you've got the basics down, it's time to start experimenting. Try out different lengths and shapes until you find a look that you love. And don't forget to use beard oil to keep your facial hair healthy and looking its best. Maintaining a healthy and soft-looking beard is especially important if you have an office job.

So there you have it: our general guide to long beard styles. We hope you found this helpful and that you're now inspired to try out new looks and push your styling boundaries.
