There are various facial hair styles; some are more masculine, while others are feminine. But which one would best fit you?
Stubble
Stubble offers a casual yet easy-care option, perfect for those who wish to avoid committing to full beard or mustache growth.
Moustache
Mustaches were once seen as an indicator of one’s identity. They can attract women and help keep men’s skin healthy by absorbing excess oil from their pores. Waxing can turn it into a lip balm and provide additional heat protection from UV radiation.
Beard
Beards make men appear more masculine and mature while providing insulation against harsh elements. They also help retain body heat during winter, protect from throat infections, and mitigate risks associated with skin cancer. Beards can also hide acne, blemishes, and scars while preserving the face from shaving cuts and irritation.
Sideburns
Men with sideburns have many styles and can add perfect finishing touches to any face. They serve as a transition from facial hair to beard or hairline growth, but their rate of development may differ based on genetics.
Muttonchops
Muttonchops are an iconic 18th-century facial hair style with oversized sideburns that connect to a mustache and leave the chin clean-shaven. They give an alluring, rugged appearance and have easy care requirements.
Side Whiskers
Side whiskers are long facial hair strips extending from the ears and across the cheeks. They can be worn alone or combined with other styles. Trimming to about an inch above the jawline was a popular grooming style in the nineteenth century.
Nose Hair
Nose hair can quickly become unruly in some men. Investing in some quality nose hair trimmers and working under good lighting can help keep it neatly trimmed. Long nose hairs can be beneficial, but it’s important not to overdo them to avoid sinuses and brain infections.
Remember, trimming or clipping is better than waxing or tweezing as it causes less pain and leaves behind unfilled hair follicles that won’t grow back if overdone.
