choose your beard style

Beards have become fashionable again in recent years. Most men have adopted them to accentuate their virile and masculine side. There are different beard styles, and the most commonly worn are those we will present to you below.

The 3-day beard is the best

The most popular beard style among men right now is undoubtedly the 3-day beard. Popular and fashionable, it's timeless and always makes a statement. Easy to achieve, this slightly unkempt look brings charisma and vitality to the wearer, but it must be maintained regularly, every 3 days, because this beard must occupy the lower third of the face. The hairs below the Adam's apple can be shaved with a reusable and durable Caliquo razor, as can the hairs that grow upwards on the cheeks.

A full beard for a youthful look

This beard is no longer the beard of seniors; it is now worn by younger men provided they have a full facial hair. But this beard style requires time and maintenance. To achieve it, you must wait several months, letting your facial hair grow without maintaining it. When the right length is reached, you must trim the mustache and define the lines on the neck by shaving with a French-made Caliquo razor.

The Van Dyke for daring men

This beard style comes to us from the 17th ^- century Flemish painter Antoon van Dyck. It is characterized by the presence of a mustache separated from a goatee. It must be of a certain thickness and perfectly drawn lines. The goatee and mustache must be trimmed frequently, and the rest of the face and neck must be clean-shaven with a fine wood-handled razor from the Caliquo brand.

The wild and controlled pointed beard or ducktail beard

The pointed beard or ducktail beard gives an original and distinguished look, because the facial hair is well structured. This beard style can be recognized by the short hairs on the cheekbones and longer under the chin, but it is important to keep the look uniform. You have to play with the lengths by using several heights of comb in order to have a progressively graduated appearance to obtain the ducktail beard. To make the beard elegant, it must be controlled by applying a shaping wax or a beard oil.

The short beard

This masculine, virile, and elegant look is currently on trend. More uniform than a 3-day beard, a short beard is less unkempt. It's a sought-after style that isn't achieved by not shaving. If you have sparse facial hair, a 10-day beard perfectly conceals any gaps. To maintain a neat appearance, trim any stray hairs or those that aren't growing in the right direction with scissors. Trimming is helpful, but a short beard should be kept between 6 and 10 mm long.

The Balbo Beard

The Balbo beard, or anchor beard, is a well-known beard style. It's a mustache accompanied by a goatee with sideburns. The Balbo beard is the beard adopted by the famous Robert Downey Jr., so why not do like him?

The 10-day beard

The 10-day beard style is rather virile and masculine while giving a man an elegant appearance. This beard is very popular with women. However, it is important to maintain it well, especially to trim it well if you don't want to give this unkempt appearance. For your information, the 10-day beard is perfect for men with oval faces.

Tips: How to trim your beard?

It all depends on the beard style you choose. And don't just think about trimming; you also need to maintain it: brush, clean, and moisturize your beard!

When it's just starting to grow, you shouldn't trim it, and yes, you absolutely must let your beard grow so you can then choose your beard style.

If you're not comfortable trimming your beard yourself, you can go to a barber. They'll be able to meet your needs and advise you if necessary. But if you want to do it yourself, you can trim your beard with a beard trimmer. This is the most common solution used by bearded men. There's also a "straight razor" for trimming your beard, but it's reserved for beard trimming experts.

Which beard to choose?

You should choose your beard style based on your face shape but also on your haircut style. A beard for an oval face or a beard for a round face? You need to know your facial shape well before choosing your beard style in order to create a beautiful harmony: face, haircut and beard.
