The thing with beards is, it is never going out of style. As long as there are beards to grow, people will have trends to follow and will need products to take care of their facial hair. So, if you have been patiently growing a beard (doesn't matter if the lockdown compelled you to do it or you just did because you wanted to), we suggest some beard styles for men which you can follow. Also, check out beard grooming products available on LBB to maintain your beard.
Men, We Picked Out The 5 Coolest Beard Trends And A Product Each To Style Them
Van Dyke Beard
₹599
You might think that keeping a beard just means 'not shaving'. Well, unfortunately that's not the case, and nowadays you may need to take care of it even more than your hair! Somewhere between the Imperial and the Anchor is the Van Dyke (named famously after the 17th-century painter), which can add that panache to your face with its early-modern age style. If you need a more 21st century inspiration, just take a look at Rober Downey Jr's Iron Man moustache and beard! We suggest you get this 5-blade shaving razor from Hajamat (which comes with a set of 4 extra blades), and keep that 'stache and beard going & growing!
Power Beard
₹89
Power beards are natural beards that are a little longer than the full ones, varying from four to six inches in length. The best part about this beard is that it not only looks badass, but its length is ideal for a tropical country like India, because anything longer than this and it will become too uncomfortable to handle. To maintain a power beard, use this small neem comb from Bare Necessities. It's a fine-tooth comb, so it helps in grooming it finely and removes tangles too!
Beardstache
₹300
Now, the beardstache is something that looks good on people who don't have a very voluminous beard growth or just simply don't like to keep a full beard (we can totally understand if you do not have that patience to maintain one). A thick, well-maintained moustache paired with a light stubble looks sexy AF. Mist and Dew's argan clarysage beard oil can be a very good product to grow and maintain your full 'stache!
The Scruffy Beard
₹265
The scruffy beard is probably the most common and the safest one out there. The fact that it can be kept irrespective of the kind of facial growth one has, is the biggest reason we see most Indian men sporting this beard style. The disheveled nature of this beard makes it attractive. And even if you have slow beard growth, this oil from Spruce Shave Club with argan & avocado can help you attain the desired results.
Long Beard
₹399
Long beards essentially mean ones that are longer than six inches. The 6-inch beard is the one we recommend since it generally takes a year to grow and the grooming required for it is equally taxing (needless to say that the longer you keep it, the tougher the maintenance becomes). So, apart from intermittent washing and combing, you also need to remember conditioning your beard. For that, use the beard softening cream from Spruce Shave Club with cedarwood and mandarin, which helps to nourish and condition the beard.
