How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Glitter Beard

Here are the steps to grow a glitter beard, and the best part is that you can do it with just about any beard style.

1. Grow out and shape your beard.

The first step that you will need to do is to grow and style your beard. Beard growth supplements will help promote healthy facial hair while giving your a full beard at the same time. A beard-shaping tool will allow you to style your beard by showing predefined curves for your cheeks. Just hold the tool up to your face and shave or trim along the contours of the tool. It doesn’t matter the size or style of your beard to perform this effect.

2. Apply an adhesive to your beard.

After you have the beard shaped and styled the way that you want, you will need to apply some sort of adhesive for the glitter to stick to. You can use a strong hair gel, or you can mix the glitter into a beard butter for a more subtle look.

3. Bring on the glitter!

Finally, you will want to apply the glitter to your beard. Mix the glitter into whateve adhesive you choose, and rub it into your hands, running it through your beard from root to tip. If you want a more obvious look, you can put a thicker amount of adhesive on your beard and then dump the glitter right on.

4. Shave it off when you’re done.

This is one of those styles that you probably only want to rock for a day or two. We recommend shaving the beard off completely when you’re finished, as the glitter will likely be difficult to remove.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect glitter beard:

• Beard Growth Supplements: Grow a nice, thick beard with natural ingredients.
• The Edge Beard Shaping Tool: Style the beard you want with a shaping tool that makes it easy to use.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect 5 O’clock Shadow

Growing a 5 o’clock shadow is quick and easy. The most important thing is to take good care of your skin so it looks clean and well-maintained.

1. If you have a beard, shave it off.

If you’ve been working on a longer beard style, it’s going to need to go. We recommend shaving it completely with a razor. Don’t forget to use a good shave lube in order to minimize knicks and cuts or the dreaded razor burn.

2. Skip shaving on day 2 and maybe day 3.

The 5 o’clock shadow looks best after a day or two of growth. While you won’t have to worry about shaving for a day or two, you should still cleanse your face daily with a facial cleanser and use a moisturizer to prevent itchy, dry skin.

3. Maintain your stubble by keeping it trimmed up.

There’s a fine line between an intentional 5 o’clock shadow and looking like you just forgot to shave for a while. Keep your stubble in check by using your trimmer with one of the lowest guards (usually a 0 or 1) every 2-3 days.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect 5 o’clock shadow:

• Wild Willies Shave Lube: to prevent knicks, cuts, and razor burn
• Wild Willies True Cleanse: to keep your face clean and free from pore-clogging bacteria
• Wild Willies Beard Scruff Tamer: to moisturize skin and prevent itchiness

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Amish Beard Shape

Growing an Amish beard is a commitment. If you’re going to do it, you have to be in it for the long haul.

1. Grow, grow, grow.

Ultimately, you’re going to need to grow out your beard over a period of years. Typically, an Amish man stops cutting his beard when he gets married, as a symbol of commitment. (Amish men do not wear wedding rings.) For newlyweds who want to jumpstart their beard growth, try a growth supplement containing Biotin, which promotes hair growth.

2. Ditch the mustache.

If you struggle to grow a mustache, you’re in luck; this beard style requires you to not have a mustache. If you do grow a mustache, shave it daily using a razor and shave lube.

3. Trim clean lines above your jawline.

This beard starts right at or above the jawline, so everything above that should be clean-shaven. You can use a razor or your trimmer with no guard. Use a shaping tool to ensure clean lines.

4. Be patient.

As the beard grows, you may go through an awkward growth stage, but try to leave it alone and continue to let your beard hair grow. If the sides of your beard tend to get a bit unruly, you can use a beard brush and beard butter to brush the sides down and keep them tame. As the hair grows, you may want to use a beard straightener, too.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect Amish beard:

• Wild Willies Shave Lube: to get a close, clean shave.
• The Edge Beard Shaping Tool: to get clean lines above the jawline.
• Beard Balm and Butter Combo Set: to tame down the sides and keep this style looking well-groomed.
• Beard Straightener: for once your beard gets super long.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Winter Beard Shape

Growing a winter beard isn’t too difficult, but you will want to get started ahead of the season. Here are the steps to grow your own winter beard.

1. Grow Out a Big Beard and Start Soon

The first step to growing a winter beard is getting it as big as possible. Remember, these beards are designed to fill your entire face and neckline with lots of hair. Depending on how fast your facial hair grows, you must give ample time to let that beard get nice and thick. Start the process early, say in the summer, so you’ll be ready when winter does arrive.

2. Nurture the Growth with Supplements

As you grow out your winter beard, you need to make sure that you are providing it with the right nutrients and minerals it needs. Daily supplements give your facial hair the best chance of growing healthy and looking its best. You can also use a beard serum to thicken and enhance your beard even more.

3. Trim and Style Your Winter Beard 

Once your beard starts getting long, you must trim and style it to maintain a proper look. You can use scissors and a comb to trim your hair to a uniform length. The key here is to not chop off too much hair, or you’ll set yourself back timewise. You just want to get it down to an even length that looks nice. Use a beard-shaping tool and razor to shave along the cheek and bottom necklines. A beard straightener also works well because you’ll get a straight, styled beard as it grows.

4. Continue to Grow and Maintain

From here, you will just want to grow out and maintain your winter beard to the desired length you’re looking for. There is no set limit for length, but generally speaking, you will want it at least two inches for a nice full beard and no more than 6-8 inches long if you want to keep a traditional-looking winter beard. However, feel free to grow it as long as you’d like. As long as it covers your face from the snow, it’ll work.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect winter beard:

• Beard Growth Supplements: Promotes a healthy, thick, and full beard.
• The Expert Grooming Kit: Comes with everything you need to style your winter beard, including scissors for trimming, a razor and beard shaping tool for styling, and a brush and comb to maintain a consistent look.
• Beard Straightener - v2.0: Straightens out curly and messy beard hairs in seconds.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Anchor Beard Shape

Follow these steps to get the perfect anchor beard.

1. Even out your beard hair length.

An anchor beard can look good with anything from a few days’ worth of stubble up to an inch or so in length. The important thing is to even out the length of your beard so it’s uniform throughout. You can use scissors and a comb, or you can use your trimmer. This grooming kit contains scissors, a comb, and a shaping tool to help you achieve a uniform length.

2. Shape your mustache.

You have a few options here for how you’d like to shape your mustache. Keep it straight across, angle it down, or flip it up at the sides; whatever you prefer. If you’re going to flip it up at the sides, use a beard butter to shape the sides.

3. Shape the “anchor.” 

Next, you’ll need to use your razor or your trimmer without a guard to shape the anchor on your chin. You can make the anchor part as narrow or wide as you’d like, but a good rule of thumb is to leave about a 1” section of hair directly below the center of your lip. Then, keep some hair along your chin, going about as far out as your mustache or just a bit further. Be sure to use a shave lube to get a close shave.

4. Maintain your beard.

Maintain your beard by continuing to shave the negative space every day or so, and keep your facial hair uniform in length by trimming it up as needed. Be sure to wash your face daily and then moisturize with a soothing moisturizer that will keep your face and beard hair healthy and smooth.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect [TYPE]:

• The Expert Grooming Kit: contains all the tools you need to trim your beard to a uniform length.
• Wild Willies Beard Butter: to smooth and shape your mustache.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Scruffy Beard Shape

Scruffy beard styles aren’t too difficult to grow and maintain because of their unruly nature, but there are some steps you’ll still want to keep in mind when growing one out.

1. Grow Out Your Beard

The first step is to grow out your beard. You may consider using supplements or a beard serum to support better hair growth, depending on your facial hair type. These products are designed with natural ingredients to provide the vitamins and minerals your follicles need to be healthy. Use your serum on any patchy areas to get them started. 

2. Let It Run Wild

Let your beard grow out but don’t worry about keeping it too trimmed. The magic in the scruffy beard is that it is unkempt. That means you don’t have to worry about shaving or trimming up the lines of your cheeks or neck. Generally, this beard style is only one to two inches in length. Once your hair becomes too long, you will want to cut it back with a beard trimmer or scissors.

3. Take Care Of Your Beard Hair

That’s basically it; grow out your beard and let it loose. However, that doesn’t mean to let your beard get dirty and dehydrated. You will want to use products like beard shampoo, conditioner, and oil to keep your beard looking great. These products will keep your beard soft, hydrated, and full of the necessary ingredients to stand the test of time. 

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect scruffy beard:

• Beard Boost Serum: Uses caffeine and biotin to naturally grow and thicken your beard hair.
• Beard Growth Supplement: Daily supplements supply your facial hair with the ingredients it needs to stay healthy and strong.
• The Trendsetter Grooming Kit: Includes everything you need, like shampoo and conditioner, to keep your beard clean and soft.
