How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Goatee

If you would like to cast your spot on Hollywood Boulevarde, then follow these steps to recreate the iconic goatee.

1. Grow Out A Connected Chin Beard And Mustache

First things first, you must grow out the facial hair surrounding your mouth. That includes the hairs on your chin, besides your lips, and under your nose. It doesn’t matter which length you decide to go with here, as goatees can be just stubble or two to three inches long.

2. Shave Around The Goatee

Next, you need to shave everything that’s not your goatee. Lather your face with warm water and shave lube, then use a nice razor to shave the cheeks, jawline, and sideburns. You can leave the sideburns as long or as short as you’d like, but the key to a goatee is to ensure the hair is not connected to your chin and mustache.

3. Style Your Goatee As You See Fit

Finally, feel free to have some fun with your goatee. You can try quite a few different styles, such as a short and stubbly goatee or a long pointy goatee with a curled mustache. You can use beard butter and a good brush to style your facial hair and get the look you want. 

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect goatee:

• Shave Lube: Use all-natural ingredients when shaving to get nice, smooth skin.
• Beard Butter - Original: This keeps your facial hair hydrated and allows you to style your goatee as you see fit.
• Beard Brush: A beard brush will help you tame and style your unruly hair.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Classic Stache

The classic-looking mustache is iconic and takes careful precision to pull off properly. Here are the steps to grow your own stache.

1. Grow The Stache

To get the classic stache look, you’ll need some facial hair on your upper lip. The choice for size is up to you, as some people like Brad Pitt might have a quarter to half-inch mustache, while Steve Harvey’s can be up to one inch long. You can both moisturize and nurture your new mustache with a beard oil blend as it grows out.

2. Trim And Groom

The next step is to trim and groom the mustache and other areas of your face. We recommend getting a complete grooming kit with everything you need to style your facial hair. You can use the brush and comb to get the hair going in the direction you want. The comb and scissors are good for keeping your mustache trimmed at an optimal length. A good beard-shaping tool also comes in handy because you can use the hard lines to trim and define your mustache shape.

3. Add A Beard Or Soul Patch

The final thing you will want to consider is whether you decide to grow a beard around your mustache or opt for a soul patch. You can grow a short or stubbly beard that can look pretty stylish with the right mustache. Remember that if the beard gets too long, you’ll lose the appeal of the mustache.

A soul patch is a small kept piece of facial hair in the dimple of your mouth, just above your chin and below your bottom lip. These range from a half inch to two inches in length or more. You just use a trimmer or razor to shave the area around the patch, leaving just the mustache and soul patch. 

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect classic stache:

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Chin Beard Shape

Getting the perfect chin beard it’s going to take time and patience. However, the benefits will pay off when you’ve got the largest chin beard in town.

1. Begin Growing Your Beard

You must work at it if you’d like a nice luscious chin beard. Start by making sure you take vitamins and supplements that you can find in gummies to help promote thick facial hair. These supplements are designed to help your facial hair grow faster and fuller.

2. Brush The Beard Daily

As your beard grows, you will need to brush it often. Once the hairs get past a half inch to inch on your face, it’s important to tame them in the direction you’d like them to go. This is important the curlier your hair is. A good beard brush will help get those curly hairs under control, so it doesn’t become a bird’s nest the bigger it gets.

3. Trim And Groom

Something else you need to do while your beard grows is to ensure that you get it trimmed one or two times a month. Cutting your beard hair while trying to grow it out may seem counterintuitive, but trimming your hair every so often will help it grow faster. Plus, it will be more uniform as it grows, keeping it looking its best to others.

4. Continue Nurturing Your Beard

Finally, make sure to nurture your chin beard throughout the process. Whether you grow your chin beard to a couple of inches or up to four inches, it’s crucial you take care of it. That means using shampoo, conditioner, and beard oil to keep your beard healthy, soft, and hydrated at all times.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect chin beard:

• Beard Growth Gummies Supplement: These supplements contain the vitamins and minerals your skin and facial hair need to stay healthy.
• Beard Brush: Keep those unruly hairs under control with a quality brush.
• Beard Oil - Original: Moisturizes and hydrates your beard so it doesn’t become hard and brittle.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Balbo Beard Shape

The Balbo beard takes sophistication and practice to make it look good. Here are the steps to grow your own.

1. Grow Out The Facial Hair

The first step you want to take when growing a Balbo beard is to decide how you want it to look. Balbo beards have a mustache that is either disconnected or slightly connected to the rest of the beard. A soul patch is required, but the chin hair can be short or extend all the way up the jawline. Map out how you want your facial hair to look and begin growing it out. Beard serum will aid in growing your beard and thickening it up.

2. Trim And Style The Mustache

The next step you want to take is to work on your mustache. It is one of the defining features of a Balbo beard, so getting this right early will help shape the rest of the look. We recommend picking up a grooming kit with everything you need, such as scissors for cutting the hair, a comb for shaping the hair, and a razor for shaving unwanted hair around your mustache. 

Trim your hair with scissors and cut a line across your upper lip. Then trim around your mustache to get the shape you want. You can use the comb to cut just the right amount of hair you’d like. When you’re finished, brush your mustache hairs, so they all lay in a similar direction.

3. Trim And Style The Soul Patch

After you have your mustache the way you want, you need to work on the soul patch. This is a little patch of hair under your lower lip and is usually disconnected from the rest of the facial hair for a Balbo beard style. 

Use the scissors to trim down the soul patch hairs. Then use a beard trimmer or razor to cut around the soul patch hairs, leaving it an island on the middle of your upper chin. Your soul patch can be small, or it can be big and wide. This is why it’s important to think about how you want it to look before cutting.

4. Clean Up The Cheek and Neck Lines

Finally, you will want to clean up the lines around your cheek and neck. Most Balbo beards are cut into a goatee and have no hair on the jawline. Others prefer to keep a beard shape by letting the jawline hairs go up into the sideburns. Either way, use clippers or scissors to keep it uniform with the rest of the beard you’ve made so far. You can use a beard-shaping tool to get nice clean lines. Just place the tool on your cheek or neck and shave around the tool's edges.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect Balbo beard.:

• Beard Boost Serum: Helps you grow a thicker beard faster with all-natural ingredients.
• The Expert Grooming Kit: This kit has everything you need to shape and style your Balbo beard, including a comb, brush, scissors, razor, and razor blades.
• The Edge Beard Shaping Tool: The beard-shaping tool makes it really easy to shave perfect lines around your cheek, jaw, and neck.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Soul Patch Beard Shape

The soul patch might be the easiest type of facial hair to maintain. Follow these super easy steps to get the look.

1. If you have a beard, shave most of it off.

If you already have some facial hair, you’ll want to shave off everything except a small patch between your lower lip and your chin. We recommend starting with a clean-shaven look like Howie Mandel’s. Use a safety razor and shave lube to achieve a smooth, clean shave.

2. Leave the right amount of hair.

If you have dark, coarse hair, you can get away with leaving just a small amount of hair. If your hair is fine or lightly colored, you’ll need a larger or longer patch to make it more obvious. If you choose to jazz it up a bit, you can leave a chin strap like Fred Durst. Other options include leaving a little bit of stubble between shaves or leaving a small amount of hair right on your chin, too. If you need help shaping the chin strap, use a shaping tool.

3. Moisturize your face.

A clean-shaven face will show dry skin more easily, so be sure to keep your skin moisturized. We recommend a moisturizer with SPF to protect from sun damage.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect soul patch beard:

• Wild Willies Shave Lube: use with a safety razor to get a clean shave.
• The Edge Shaping Tool: to get a defined chin strap, if you choose.
• Wild Willies Smooth With SPF: to moisturize your face and protect from sun damage.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Defined Beard

Growing a defined beard is all about clean lines, precision, and maintenance. Follow these steps to get the look. 

1. Grow out your facial hair.

A defined beard should be on the shorter side (no longer than 1.5-2” in length) and uniform throughout. If you’re starting from a clean-shaven face, you’ll probably need anywhere between 1-2 months to get a full, uniform beard. If you struggle with patchiness or have trouble growing out your facial hair, try this beard growth kit that contains growth supplements as well as a growth serum.

2. Keep it trimmed.

Even as you’re growing out your beard, you’ll want to keep it trimmed and maintained. A shaping tool will be your best friend for this style. It’s all about clean lines and edges. Use the shaping tool along with a trimmer or razor to get an angled or curved line along your cheeks, as well as to remove the hair along your neckline. If you have a mustache, use trimming scissors to make sure it stays right at the lipline.

3. Moisturize and hydrate. 

A defined beard should be the exact opposite of scraggly. This means you’ll need to moisturize your face and hair to prevent dry, brittle hair or beard dandruff. This set contains everything you need to maintain a defined beard: a shaping tool, beard oil, and beard balm to smooth and hydrate your beard. 

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect defined beard:

• Wild Willies Beard Growth Kit: to promote full, healthy growth.
• The Edge Shaping Tool: to get clean lines along your cheeks and neck line.
• Men’s Gift Set: contains a shaping tool, beard oil, and beard balm for smooth, hydrated hair.
