A man’s facial hair can be a very personal subject. From shaving it all to maintaining a neatly manicured goatee to having a full handlebar mustache and beard, men are faced with many choices when it comes to deciding what to do with the hair that grows on their faces. Nevertheless, there are several compelling reasons why a man should consider trying a beard, as outlined in the Ultimate Men’s Grooming Guide.

Creating a More Distinguished Look

Facial hair shapes the facial features and may often add a more rugged, aged, gentlemanly appeal. Men who struggle with wanting to appear older and more distinguished may achieve the look they want and have fewer strangers question their age when they grow a beard.

More Popular Than in Years Past

An increasing number of celebrity men are growing beards. For this reason, beards are appearing more frequently in entertainment and style magazines, which is leading to a growing appreciation for beards among the general public. Therefore, a man who is style-conscious and wants to change his overall look may wish to adopt the growing trend of maintaining a beard.

Little Investment Required

While other aesthetic investments such as dying and cutting hair, updating a wardrobe, or even teeth whitening may be costly, growing a beard is very inexpensive. The major requirements for a man who wishes to change his appearance by growing facial hair are time and patience. Purchasing a beard trimmer may also be necessary in the interest of maintaining a more orderly look.

Can Be Customized

Beards can be tailored to fit each unique face. Men who do not wish to overpower their features with a heavy beard may opt for a well-maintained, light stubble while others who prefer a lot of facial hair may wish to grow a full beard. The many different styles and shapes of beards give men nearly as much versatility as women enjoy with makeup and accessories.

Freedom

For the man who wishes to take a sabbatical away from his trusty DE razor and brush  for the season and try a new low maintenance lifestyle, growing a beard is only the most obvious alternative. Maintaining a beard can signify a change of the seasons allowing a gent to embrace his natural appearance if only till Spring.
