Beard Styles for Your Face Shape

The beard shapes that flatter each face shape, what to avoid, and how to brief a barber — based on the same proportions the detector measures.

Oval Short boxed beard, Light stubble
Round Goatee with defined edges, Short beard with sharp cheek lines
Square Circle beard, Light stubble
Heart Full beard, fuller at the chin, Chin-strap with goatee weight
Diamond Full beard with squared jaw fill, Short beard, fuller at the sides of the jaw
Oblong Full beard kept fuller at the sides, shorter at the chin, Avoid long goatees and pointed beards

Not sure which shape you are? Run one photo through the detector — it runs on your device and takes a couple of seconds.
