Facial hair is becoming cool and masculine again for men. From moustaches to beards, more men are sporting facial hair as it adds a dignified and hip look to any style. [think sports players to hipsters.]

1. Trimmed Beards

Beards that are neatly trimmed and clean-cut are a sharp and sophisticated look that doesn’t compromise the most professional image. Chris Hemsworth has recently been seen with a full grown beard that is thick, yet still neatly trimmed and shaped. The look works best for those with straight, thick hair that is darker in color. Blond beards should be avoided for those with a tendency to grow one, which can make the face seem mis-shapen due to the tone.

2. Five O’Clock Shadows

Five o’clock shadows offer a scruffy look that is trendy and modern. It’s a look that is easy to attain by skipping the razor for at most two days and has been seen on male celebrities that include Bradley Cooper and David Beckham. Maintain it by using electric trimmers being sure to go over it everyday.

3. The 70’s Stache

Moustaches that are trimmed and shaped were a staple in the 70’s but are now increasing in popularity again as Ryan Gosling was recently seen with the look. It may come off as creepy to some, but it’s a great look for those with certain face shapes. A stache does take a little upkeep too, it’s going to take more than a tin of wax for sure. Consider picking up a DE Razor, soap puck &  shaving brush in order to keep the crumb catcher in check like a man! 

4. Mountain Man Beards

Full, unkempt beards have officially made their debut as a way to both feel and look like you wrestle bears. It’s an easy way to take a sabbatical from wet shaving for a few months with intent! This look is most popular during the fall and winter as a way to embrace the season and also keep warm when the temperatures drop.

5. Gray Hair

Men are now embracing their gray hair, both in Hollywood and on the streets, for a look that shows they are mature and plenty wise. Hugh Jackman proudly showed off his gray facial hair on the red carpet by skipping the dye and going au natural. Gray facial hair looks best when the hair is clean-cut and not fully grown with the head hair still dyed for contrast.

Between mountain man beards to porn star moustaches, there are a variety of looks to embrace with facial hair for a great way to add spice and enhance your personal style. It will offer more masculinity and a trendy look for men of all ages. Grow for it!
