A full beard is the most common type of beard.
A full beard is one of the most common and traditional types of beards and typically covers a man’s face more than any other type of beard. Full beards typically cover the cheek, upper lip, and chin areas, and many full beards extend to some point on the neck. The length of a full beard will depend on the personal preference of the man. Growing a full beard takes different lengths of time depending on the man, and some men cannot grow a full beard. Like other beard styles, full beards often require special care.
Many full beards extend to some point on the neck.
Since some men have patches of bald skin or skin where hair only grows thin or sparse, not all men can grow beards. Men who can grow beards, however, wear them in different lengths. Full beards can be worn close to the skin, extremely long, and at different lengths in between. Generally, a man’s personal preference determines the length of his beard, and a man may also consider other factors when determining the length, such as his occupation and the time of year or weather conditions.
While personal preference plays a role, men grow beards for a variety of reasons. Men sometimes wear full beards to camouflage facial features they are unhappy with. For example, a man may grow a beard to hide a weak chin or poorly defined jaw lines. On the other hand, a man may wear a full beard to cover his chin or jaw lines that he feels are too defined or stand out too much. Some men grow beards because they have a lifestyle or climate that requires additional facial protection.
The steps involved in caring for a full beard often depend on the length of the beard, the man’s hair type, and any personal preferences he has. For example, if the beard is long, a man may need to have his hair trimmed regularly to remove damaged ends and maintain the shape of the beard. In general, men with long beards should pay special attention to shampooing them to keep them clean. Additionally, a man with a thick beard, often caused by coarse, coarse hair, may need to use specialized personal care products such as beard conditioner or beard oil. Some men choose to dye their beards and others let them naturally go gray along with the rest of their hair.
