Before you start growing out your bears, it's essential to know what overall style you want to maintain. Are you looking for a rugged and masculine look? Or are you going for a more refined and sophisticated style? Once you have an idea of the overall look you're going for, you can start planning your beard style.
Consider the Shape of Your Face

The shape of your face should determine the shape of your beard. For example, if you have a rounder face, you'll want to avoid styles that add width to your face. Instead, opt for a shorter style on the sides and longer in the center. This will help elongate your face and make it appear more slender. For a long face, you might want to go for a shorter style. If you have an oval-shaped face, you're lucky. Almost any long beard style will look great on you.
Choose the Right Length

One of the most important aspects of a long beard is the honing in the length. You'll want to make sure that it's long enough to style but not so long that it becomes unmanageable. We recommend letting it grow for at least four weeks before trimming it to the desired length. If you know you're aiming for a much longer style, you can trim it lightly around then for style, or you can keep waiting if your hair grows in a manageable shape.
Try Beard Balm or Paste

Once you've determined the length of your long beard, it's time to start thinking about how you're going to style it. Beard balm is an excellent option if you're looking for a light hold. It helps tame flyaways and keep hairs in place.
If you're looking for a stronger hold, then beard paste is the way to go. Just make sure to use a small amount, as too much paste can make your beard look greasy.
