How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Short Boxed Beard Shape

Growing a short boxed beard doesn’t have to be complicated, as long as you follow the right steps and use the best facial hair products. Here is how to grow one out.

1. Grow A Short, Groomed Beard

To grow the best-boxed beard that you can, you will first need to start out with a solid beard. You can take beard growth supplements and beard serum (for the patchy areas) to help you grow a thicker, fuller beard. Once your beard has grown half an inch to two inches, you will want to trim it with a beard trimmer or scissors. For this style, you need to keep those hairs short and uniform.

2. Shave Along The Chin Line And Neck Line

After your beard is trimmed and looking fresh, it’s time to shave off the unwanted hair and clean up those lines. A professional razor and beard-shaping tool will make the process smoother for you. Lather up your face with shaving lube, then place the shaving tool along your chin line. You can use the edges to get a nice, sharp square connecting your chin hairs with your sideburn hairs. Then use the tool again to shave the bottom of your neckline to have a professional look.

3. Keep The Beard Well-Maintained And Healthy

Finally, you will want to maintain your beard with healthy, natural products. Using shampoo and conditioner for your beard will keep it clean and soft. Then rub in a nice beard butter to give your facial hair the moisture and nutrients it needs to look healthy and vibrant. You can also shape your hair in the direction you want with a beard brush. 

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

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 Short Stubble Beard With Mustache Shape

If you’re going for the refined look of a short beard and long mustache, these are the steps to get you there.

1. Grow Out A Long Mustache

The defining hallmark of this look is the long mustache that extends over the face. Grow out a nice mustache to the point that it is well-defined. It can be long and unruly like Jason Lee’s or thin and well-maintained like Michael B. Jordan’s. You may want to use a beard trimmer and a beard-shaping tool to style the mustache to your preference.

2. Keep The Beard Trimmer Low

Next, keep the rest of your facial hair low and stubbly. That means using clippers at it’s lowest setting or shaving your face and letting the stubble grow back in. If shaving, a good shave lube will go a long way in giving you a clean face and hydrating your skin before the hair grows back. You should use a scruff tamer to keep those hairs healthy and hydrated once it starts to grow.

3. Don’t Forget To Take Care Of Your Skin

Throughout this process, you may often cut your hair and shave your face. This can lead to breakouts and itchy skin. Make sure you use a derma roller to maximize the effectiveness of skin care products. Then keep your face clean and moisturized with products like a good beard wash.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect short stubble beard with mustache:

• The Edge Beard Shaping Tool: Keep shaping your facial hair and get clean lines when trimming your mustache.
• Shave Lube: You want the best natural ingredients when shaving, and this shave lube outperforms its competitors in all aspects.
• The Derma Roller: Take care of your skin using a derma roller to improve your skin tone and vitality.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Corporate Beard

Since there are many different takes on the corporate beard, there will be some slight variations in how to grow one, but a few things are consistent throughout. 

1. Grow out a healthy full beard.

You’ll want to grow out a full beard that is healthy and well-maintained. This means using the right products to avoid dry, flaky skin and brittle hair. As you're letting your facial hair grow out, be sure to use a good beard wash that will keep your skin clean without stripping your hair of natural oils. Then, moisturize daily with a beard oil and beard butter combo to soften and hydrate your skin and hair, all while promoting healthy growth. 

2. Shave your neckline and below your cheekbones daily.

The most important part of growing a corporate beard that you can get away with wearing to the office is to keep it maintained. Use a razor and a shave lube to clean up the area below your chin and down your neck. You should also shave the area below your cheekbone. If you struggle to keep an even line around your cheek, use a shaping tool to help get clean lines.

3. Keep your facial hair trimmed and well-maintained.

As your beard grows, don’t neglect it. If you’re planning to keep it on the shorter side, use a 3-5mm guard on your trimmer to keep the length under control. If you want to let it grow a little longer, use scissors and a comb or shaping tool to trim away excess hair from the sides while you let the bottom part grow out a bit.

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

• Wild Willies Beard Wash: to cleanse hair and skin without stripping away natural oils.
• Beard Butter & Elixir Combo: to hydrate and soften skin and hair and maintain healthy growth.
• Shave Lube and a Shaping Tool: to get clean lines and prevent razor burn.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Short Round Beard Shape

As its name indicates, a short round beard should be on the shorter side, meaning you can grow it out in less time than some other styles. Follow these steps to achieve the short round beard style.

1. Grow out your beard and mustache.

You need a mustache to balance out the short round beard, and we think a thick, full beard looks best. For optimal growth, we suggest using a growth serum along with a derma roller, which can increase the absorption of the growth serum by up to 500%. To use the derma roller, simply press it against clean skin and roll it up and down across your face after applying the growth serum.

2. Maintain the short length.

As your mustache begins to grow, you can keep it trimmed right above the lipline with a pair of trimming scissors from a grooming kit. To keep the short length of this beard style, use a trimmer or a pair of grooming scissors every week or so to keep your beard at a length of about 1”.

3. Keep your neckline clean.

On a round face, stubble that extends down your neckline isn’t a good look. Use a shave lube and a razor to keep the area below your chin stubble-free. If you’re using a safety razor, be sure to replace the blade at least once a week to keep it from getting dull.

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

• Growth Serum: to jumpstart your beard growth
• Derma Roller: to increase absorption of growth serum
• Grooming Kit: includes trimming scissors and everything else you need to get a great beard
