Styling your beard is all about finding the balance between your natural beard growth and the look you want to achieve. Whether you prefer a rugged full beard or a neatly groomed style, these tips will help you maintain the perfect shape for your face and personality.
Your face shape plays a significant role in determining which beard style will look best on you.
Most styles work well — full beards, short beards, or stubble all complement this naturally balanced shape.
Longer at the chin, shorter on the sides. Rounded or tapered styles soften angular features.
Grow longer at the chin, keep sides shorter. Goatees and pointed beards add flattering length.
Shorter at the chin, fuller on the sides to add width. Avoid styles that elongate the face.
Fuller beard to balance a narrow chin. Keep volume in the lower part of the beard.
Regular trimming is essential regardless of style. Remove stray hairs, maintain shape by combing before trimming, and always keep the neckline clean — shave just above your Adam's apple for a natural transition.
Trim when dry for an accurate sense of length and shape.
Medium hold and conditioning. Tames flyaways, adds structure. Warm in palms and work through beard.
Stronger hold for longer or unruly beards. Maintains style and control all day.
Use a comb like The Conjurer's Pick after applying to distribute evenly and style into shape.
Trim regularly so it doesn't hang over your upper lip. Use mustache wax for handlebar or chevron styles. A small mustache comb keeps it neat and untangled.
Growing it out? Use wax to train hairs to grow outward and away from your mouth.
Detangles and spreads oil, butter and balm evenly through the beard, with less snagging as you shape it.
Detangles longer beards and guides hair into place when applying balm or wax.
Comb in the morning to set your beard, and again through the day to keep it sharp.
Let hair grow as high as possible on cheeks without trimming too low — fuller and more natural.
Shave a clean line just below cheekbones. Don't go too low — it can look unnatural.
New to trimming your cheek line? Start conservatively and adjust gradually.
Style after a gentle wash, once the beard is towel-dried and only slightly damp. Hair that is clean and calm takes a shape more willingly than hair carrying yesterday’s product.
Warm 3–6 drops of beard oil between your palms and work it into the skin and through to the ends. Softened hair bends where you guide it instead of springing back.
Use The Conjurer’s Pick to detangle from the ends upward, then comb the beard down and slightly back along the line you want it to sit. This is where the shape is really decided.
Warm a small amount of Veil of Silence beard balm, unscented with a medium hold, and press it lightly over the surface, then comb once more. Use less than you think and add more only where flyaways rise.
Tidy the neckline and cheek line and snip stray hairs only once the beard has dried and been combed, so you see its true length. Our neckline and cheek line guide shows where to stop.
A pass of the comb at midday restores the shape. On humid days a touch more balm helps; on dry days a single drop of oil brings back softness.
Trimming is part of styling too: see trimming and shaping techniques and beard styles by face shape.
Easy to maintain, rugged and masculine. Use a trimmer to keep length consistent.
Commanding presence. Requires regular trims and conditioning to look its best.
Defined, unique style. Draws attention to the chin and mustache for a distinguished look.
Styling your beard is about shaping, maintaining, and enhancing your natural growth to achieve the look you want. The key to successful beard styling is regular maintenance, the right tools, and quality products. Keep experimenting until you find the style that makes you feel confident and looks great on you.
