Common Beards and Mustaches

The bеаrd is thе hair thаt grows оn thе сhіn, nесk аnd cheekbones and undеr the lоwеr lір of thе mаn. It is соmmоn іn some countries to gіvе thе nаmе Chіvа duе tо the ѕіmіlаrіtу with thе tuft оf hаіr thаt grows іn the сhіn tо thе gоаtѕ. Muѕtасhе, оn thе оthеr hаnd, іѕ thе hаіr thаt grows іn thе rеgіоn оf the fасе bеtwееn thе lоwеr lіmіt оf the nоѕе аnd the lір ѕuреrіоr. The hairs аrе truly соnѕрісuоuѕ in аdult mеn, as іѕ uѕuаllу the beard.

Nowadays, it is common to come across all kinds of beards: leafy, goat, two days. There are kings and presidents with beards, and also artists or ordinary people. Bearing a beard is another aesthetic option, and in modern times the prevalence of facial hair varies with the passage of decades. Also, the mustache throughout history has been considered a symbol of manhood and virility, but it is also indicative of class, wisdom, authority or power according to the moment and the society where it is located.

TYPES OF BEARDS

THE BEARD OF 3 DAYS

This is the beard that we meet most often, but not always for the right reasons. Many men wear it regularly more by laziness than coquetry. But a real beard of three days size and contrary to what one might think it requires a real interview. The hairs on the cheekbones must disappear, the legs and the mustache will be well drawn, and it is necessary to shave everything on the neck.

SHORT BEARD

The length of a short beard is obtained in about 10 to 15 days for a man with dense implantation. If the 3-day-old beard can be perceived as being let loose by the female, the short beard, on the other hand, when well-trimmed will then be noticed as a sign of refinement. This beard undoubtedly allows gaining virility and maturity.

THE LONGBEARD

It used to be the favorite beard for seniors, Santa Claus and some pirates; it is back in celebrities or new generation hipsters who use it to perfect a vintage look. It usually fits with a very sculpted hairstyle and dense hair.

THE LUMBERJACK BEARD

It is a variant of the long beard; it is much more simple maintenance since it will be enough to let it grow. It must be worn with a very elegant style and bling-bling accessories.

THE CARVED BEARD

This is a 3-day beard, perfectly drawn. The lines should be straight on the cheeks, from the bottom of the leg to the commissure of the lip. The mustache will also be cut, usually very fine. The entire underside of the lower jaw will also be shaved meadows, following perfectly the angles of the lower face. If it is not maintained regularly, it goes from very elegant to ridiculous in a few days.

THE GOATEE

It’s a small beard under the chin. It can be of different lengths, but never too short. It is useful for lengthening too round faces. If it is thin and a little long, then it takes the name of goatee and allows playing the famous game of “I hold you, you hold me”. It is very often accompanied by a mustache of the same length.

THE GOAT

It was the star of the 90s; it is not really appreciated today but still remains present in many irreducible. It consists of a mustache that goes down to surround the mouth and ends with a goatee. It should be cut evenly to the size of your choice.

FLY

This is a mini-beard cut into a rectangle, triangle, or semicircle that is placed just below the lower lip. When it extends towards the chin to form a larger rectangle, it then takes the name of “stamp”. The fly beard goes very well with a small mustache for a look of poet quite elegant.

TYPES OF MUSTACHE

PREPUBER: TEENAGE WHISKERS

The teenager’s mustache, perhaps one of the ugliest mustaches that exist, has surprisingly become fashionable. They are those horrid hairs without vigor that appear under the nose of adolescents or adults with hormonal alteration. It’s the ugliest mustache that exists. However, many teenagers persevere in making them grow, helping the supporters of the whisker universe a lot: even if you cannot look at it, you also have the right to grow.

NATURAL MUSTACHE OR MUSTACHE

The natural mustache is the first step for those who decide to leave a mustache. They adapt in a “natural” way to the shape of the face and do not require any special plan to delineate their shape and appearance as they are, as the name suggests, a very natural style, for a traditional look that never goes out of style, obviously the minimum maintenance also needs it: chin and cheeks absolutely shaved and trimmed to highlight them to the maximum.

DALÌ MUSTACHE

Another mustache in particular and that is still famous for a particular character, from which it takes its name: Salvador Dalí. These whiskers are thin, long, thin, curved and curved towards the face, to insufflate in an absolutely eccentric manner, require some care for maintenance and an external “help”, for example, beard wax, to be fixed.

CURLY MUSTACHE

The handlebar whiskers are one of the types of mustache that are often tested as soon as the natural mustache is a little long, not knowing that to do the best, they require a lot of care and continuous curling even during the growth itself. Its curly appearance can be maintained thanks to the use of special waxes for the mustache and a lot of patience, it is a challenging aspect, but it has its charm.

BRUSH MUSTACHE

A mustache style that certainly reminds us of two characters, diametrically opposed in the heart of all of us: they are Hitler’s mustache and Charlie Chaplin’s. They consist of a very thick strip under the nose but cut by the sides.

RUSSIAN MUSTACHE

These are type of mustaches that are very difficult to see today; this is because they are very abundant and leafy, so much so that they often cover the mouth completely. It is the mustache of the renowned philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, (or perhaps it was the mustache that made him famous). They take a long time to grow and, of course, you have to tame it to the sides, it takes time and be frequently combed so that it takes the necessary shape.
