10 Irresistible Beard Styles for Men this
There’s no denying it - #NoShaveNovember just hits differently this year. The #NoShaveNovember wave has found its soulmate in 2020. With the trend’s origins being from a charity movement, and the good ol’ WFH life still going strong, this is the right month of the right year to forgo a shave, get your beard in shape and donate the money you would otherwise spend on shaving supplies to a worthy cause.
Factoid time! Here’s what you need to know about #NoShaveNovember -
Some take part in No Shave November just for fun, but many take the monthly commitment to heart. Often sparking conversation about health issues that affect men, this is an important trend globally.
No Shave November refers to an annual charity event where men don’t shave off their facial hair for an entire month, to raise awareness and money to fight cancer.
This digital movement started all the way back in 2009. No Shave November began as a Facebook campaign to raise awareness and money for cancer research and charities.
The goal of this movement is also to provide men an opportunity to embrace their natural hair, which many cancer patients lose, and to let the facial hair grow wild and free.
The Movember Foundation, founded in 2003 in Melbourne, Australia, is focused on #noshavenovember and uses fundraising to target prostate cancer.
Women love taking part in this yearly event of ‘un-grooming’ by not shaving their body hair as well and going completely natural. In fact, considering it's almost 2021, we think women should do exactly as they please with their body hair all year long - and #noshavenovember can be a powerful statement for ladies who are focused on breaking stereotypes and rejecting toxic beauty standards.
Following the rules of No Shave November is easy-breezy. Just put your razor down for a month and donate your hair-maintenance expenses for November to a cause. If you are working & need to maintain a certain neatness in appearance for the office or video calls, worry not! All kinds of participation are welcomed in this online movement, even if that means you need to periodically groom or trim your coiffure.
Let’s get to it. This month is the perfect opportunity for men to participate in a meaningful challenge online, have some fun with it, raise awareness, support charities, and also get the chance to grow & maintain the beard style of their dreams.
So, for those gentlemen who are participating in this awesome challenge, or are just looking to groom a beard of their own; we’ve got some great insights and the 10 best beard styles that are fashion-forward and trending this season. Look out for footnotes on the personality traits that suit each type of beard. Scroll on!
Full-grown & fully immersed in its own natural glory, a full beard sans any type of cutting, trimming, or grooming, is what #noshavenovember is really about. If you would like to go ahead and grow a full mane for some laughs, or would just like to give yourself a good foundation to trim a perfect beard shape of your choice once the month ends - this style is perfect for those whose lifestyle would permit.
This style of beard is super low on maintenance. Obviously.
You get to show off a truly majestic, lion-like mane.
Although it is November, if you live in the kind of climate that is humid, or hot during the day, this is not the best option for you from a comfort and hygiene point of view (unless you are perpetually at home, like some of us).
It is most certainly not work or corporate-friendly unless your entire team is participating with you on the same level & it can also lead to a few potentially awkward social moments.
Even your closest friends and acquaintances might have a little trouble recognizing you for the first few times. Be prepared with a quickfire round of answers to their many questions!
Personality Type: Chiller, Low-key, A Natural Beauty.
The long beard is a version of the full beard that does retain the length of the full beard at times but is more neatly shaped and slightly trimmed than a full and natural mane. Usually shaped to drop down into a wide ‘U’ shape, this one of the more traditional and charming beard styles for men in India.
A proud and voluminous statement, this beard style is high on the fashion radar.
This beard can be more smooth with added shaping or can be just lightly shaped for a more rugged appeal.
Any ethnic Indian menswear is an amazing match for this beard style.
Not ideal for humid climates.
The trimming involved in shaping a full beard into a long one, involves time, patience and skill. This is not the easiest style to maintain.
Personality Type: Suave, Cultured, Dexterous.
Another derivative; a full beard style can be maintained in a much more lightweight and decently groomed manner, in the form of a short beard. Shorter and crisper than a long beard, and yet still maintaining that full-face style, this type of beard is suave and macho at the same time.
Messy, or neat - this is a beard style for boys and men, that is guaranteed to -go well with almost any hairstyle.
From CEOs to artists - this is one of the short beard styles that can flatter and elevate anyone.
Great for oval and heart-shaped faces.
This beard is the only corporate-friendly derivative of the full natural beard.
Not ideal for a hot & humid climate.
The time & work involved in shaping, grooming & trimming this beard, make it high maintenance.
