50 Beard Styles And Facial Hair Types – Definitive Men's Guide

The original look: A full beard style with lengthy facial hair that goes beyond the chin area to form two separate sections split right in the middle. If you’re wondering where the name comes from, it’s surprisingly simple. On original French forks you’d commonly find two prongs.

17. Friendly Mutton Chops

The original look: Long sideburns paired with a connecting mustache. Vertical sideburns are defined by the bottom of the jawline an corners of the mouth, while the chin itself is cleanly shaven. For variations this beard type can feature either thick or trimmed and narrow widths. A common misconception is confusing the Mutton Chops for the Friendly Mutton chops, however, the key difference to understand is one features the addition of a mustache, the other does not.

18. Full Beard

The original look: The full beard, aka one of the most popular facial hair styles. Call it the king of all beards if you like, in reality, it truly is. Whiskers of the moustache blend into the beard to cover the chins, cheeks and jawline with pure manliness.

While the style might seem simple to clean shaven men, that’s from far the from the truth. The full beard takes a considerable dedication to growth, serious grooming and trimming, and a keen eye for cleanliness while eating and drinking.

Think you know everything about growing this style, you’ll be surprised! Here’s everything I learned after putting down the razor: How to grow a beard.

19. Fu Manchu

The original look: The Fu Manchu features a straight mustache which begins at the corners of the mouth. Facial hair extends downwards beyond the chin and lips (clean shaven) to form two equal “tendrils”. The lengthy whiskers are to have pointy ends that extend past the bottom of the chin.

While similar to the horseshoe, a key difference lies in the fact that the corners of the mouth (past 2cm) are shaven. It’s a good reason why the Fu Manchu is without question, a more grooming-intensive style to master. Perhaps you’ve heard the saying, “You probably don’t know anybody who has a Fu Manchu.” Aside from the classic, one common variation includes adding an additional tendril from a small patch of facial hair below the chin.
