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:

• The Edge Beard Shaping Tool: to get clean lines above the jawline.

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:

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Verdi Beard Shape

The Verdi beard can be remarkable, but it will take proper maintenance and styling to get it right. Take these steps to grow a true Verdi Beard. 

1. Grow Out a Full Beard

Before you begin, you will need to grow a good-sized beard to have enough facial hair to work with. We recommend taking gummy supplements to help promote beard growth while giving your hair what it needs to be healthy. The beard itself should be 2-4 inches in length.

2. Trim Back the Beard While Growing the Mustache Longer

What makes the Verdi beard style is that the mustache is longer than the rest of the beard and usually curled upwards. You must keep the beard hair around your cheek and necklines in the 2-4 inch range while allowing your mustache to grow longer. Use a beard trimmer to keep the beard hair at an optimal length. Also, consider keeping your beard clean and soft with beard butter as it grows.

3. Style the Verdi Beard and Keep It Groomed 

Finally, you will want to style the Verdi beard. That means using a beard straightener to tame the unruly hairs. Then use a beard balm or wax to style your mustache. After applying the product, you can use a brush to pull the hairs out straight or use your fingers to round out the mustache hairs. Wrap the hairs around your fingers and twirl them, creating an upward loop as you commonly see for the Verdi beard. After that, keep your beard groomed and at a moderate size.

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

• Beard Growth Gummies Supplement: These give your beard what it needs to grow full and healthy.
• Beard Butter - Original: Helps maintain a clean and soft-looking beard.
• Beard Straightener - V2.0: Used to straighten out unruly beard hair which helps with the sophisticated Verdi beard look.

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]:

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.

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.
