Just as there are different jeans and jackets for different body shapes, the same beard shape does not suit everyone. Beards and hairstyles should be adapted to themselves, but also to trends. First you need to assess what your face shape is, and then choose what kind of beard suits you best.
Square face shape
David Beckham is one of the more famous people with this face shape, so you can look for inspiration in his appearance. Aim for a style that will optically make the face rounder. Grow your beard on the outside for a few weeks, then use clippers to trim the length. If you want a complete look like Beckham, for smooth styling around the mouth and chin, it would be best to visit a barber, at least in the beginning, and then you can maintain the contours yourself, which will be quite simple. A beard should optically shorten your face and create the illusion of an oval face. One of the famous people who has this face shape is Tom Ford. Copying his style does not require too much effort. It is enough to let the beard grow for about a week, depending on how fast it grows, and then shave every few days to maintain a cleaner shape.
Round face
Avoid accentuated sideburns and thin your chin to change the look of your face. Stylish beards are ideal for you. Kenny West is one example you can follow. You can connect the side mustache with the beard. It will be best to visit a barber and have him create the shape you want, and then maintain the look yourself. You need sharp lines that you can maintain with a razor. The key to this look is to keep the rest of your face clean-shaven, so you'll need to invest in a good razor, one with a high shaving quality.
Triangular face shape
Men with this face shape have an accentuated chin. The best choice for you is a beard in the style of Ryan Gosling. It's a slightly messy beard that's quite easy to maintain. All you need to do is let the beard grow outwards and keep the lines along the cheeks and sideburns in good shape, as well as remove stray hairs with a razor.
Pear / diamond face shape
You can soften this face shape with a beard. The sideburns should be long, but barely visible. The style you can follow is that of actor Dane Cook. For a beard like this, you will have to wait for it to grow between two weeks and a month, depending on how fast it grows.
Once you're done, use scissors or a trimmer and razor around all edges to maintain the contour and shape of your beard. Keep your sideburns slightly thicker than the rest of your face. The beard should be a mixture of rough and neat.
