How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Garibaldi Beard Shape

Growing a Garibaldi beard can take a long time but you'll be happily rewarded with the results these beard types have to offer.

1. Grow a giant beard.

The first thing you must do: grow a ridiculously large beard. Garibaldi beards don't have to be massive, but most men prefer their beard hairs on the longer side when growing this fashion out. Try a beard boost serum to promote growth and thicken your beard. You can also try a derma roller to get some of those patchy areas. 

2. Trim and style.

As your beard grows out, you will want to trim back the hair so it stays uniform all around. You can use beard scissors, or use one of the bigger guards on your trimmer. If you want the beard narrow towards the chin, let it grow longer towards the chin while trimming up the sides. You can use a beard brush to direct the hair downward. Or, you can let it stay wide just like Giuseppe used to wear it. 

3. Don't Stop Growing

Generally speaking, most people will grow this style in the 6 to 8-inch range, but that doesn't mean you have to. Some men have long, beautiful Garibaldi beards, and you can be one of them. Grab yourself a bottle of Wild Willies Beard Boost Serum and the Beard Straightener - V.2, and you'll be off to the races!

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

• Wild Willies Beard Boost Serum: to promote growth and thicken your beard.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Brett Beard Shape

Growing a brett beard is a specialized look for your beard hair that will take special attention and care to get it just right:

1. Grow Out A Full Beard

To begin a brett beard style, you first need to grow a nice full beard. This will be the base of what will eventually become your brett beard, which is just a chin strap and soul patch combined.

Try Beard Growth Gummies to reach your desired length faster. 

2. Preserve A Healthy Beard

While growing this type of beard, you will need to ensure that you are taking care of your facial hair. Using the best products means you can transform your brett beard to perfection.

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

• Wild Willies Beard Oil - Original: To moisturize your beard so it doesn't become brittle and unmanageable.
• Wild Willies The Edge Beard Shaping Tool: This tool is the best for shaping your brett beard chin lines.
• Wild Willies Derma Roller Kit: Get everything you'd need to grow a brett beard in one kit, including a high-quality canvas toiletry bag.

3. Shave Off The Mustache

One of the defining features of the brett beard is the absence of a mustache. You will need to shave off that stache to get the full effect, and we recommend The Expert Grooming Kit to do so. Trim down the mustache with the included scissors until it’s low enough to shave off with Wild Willies Safety Razor. Ensure a good lather and use the right conditioning products afterward to avoid any razor burn or bumps.

4. Style And Define The Lines Of Your Brett Beard

Once you have grown this individual beard style and have removed the mustache, it's time to style that beard hair. You can have a clean chin strap with a soul patch, as shown in the example above, or opt for a more unruly chin curtain.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Van Dyke Beard Shape

The Van Dyke beard style isn’t too difficult to groom and style, but you will want to take some steps to ensure the best look possible.

1. Grow out a goatee.

The Van Dyke is a modified goatee that can or cannot be connected; the choice is yours. You will want to grow a nice thick mustache and then some arrangement of beard hairs on your chin. If your facial hairs don’t grow out rich and full, try some beard growth gummy supplements and beard boost serum to avoid any patchiness on your face.

2. As the goatee grows, shape it accordingly.

Once a solid goatee is formed, you will want to shape the Van Dyke style by shaving any unwanted hair from your jawline, cheeks, and sideburns. Typically the style isn’t connected from your lower facial hairs to your mustache, but you can keep those hairs if you desire. The main thing to remember here is to focus on growing a nice narrow beard from your chin and a full mustache that you can manipulate later.

3. Style your mustache and facial hairs.

Now comes the fun part. You can style the mustache and facial hair any way that you want. We recommend using beard balm and a brush to help shape the facial hairs the way you want them to. When it comes to the mustache, you can have it pointing downwards, flaring out to the sides, or curling around back towards your nose. 

4. Maintain a clean, shaven look.

Finally, you just need to maintain the look of your new Van Dyke beard by styling and shaving back the areas that you don’t want the hair to grow. You can pick up a grooming kit with everything you need to cut, trim, style, and shape your new look daily.

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

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Petite Goatee

Growing a petite goatee can be easy if you follow these steps.

1. Grow Your Facial Hair

The first step in growing a petite goatee is to let your facial hair grow to about an inch or two from your jawline. This is a short style, but you may want to grow your hair out a little past your desired length. This will make it easier to trim and style in the next steps because you will have some facial hair to work with. If you have patchy hair growth, we recommend using a beard boost serum to help with the process.

2. Trim Your Goatee

Next, trim your goatee to the desired length using scissors and a comb. The petite goatee can be worn either long or short, depending on your hair growth pattern and preference. The main thing you want to keep in mind is to trim back the hair in a minimalist fashion. The soul patch should just be a small square or triangle under your bottom lip and then chin hair should only cover a small portion of your chin. Use a beard wash and conditioner to keep your petite goatee free from dirt and soft and manageable.

3. Maintenance  

The last phase of an awesome petite goatee is keeping well maintained. A healthy goatee starts from the inside. Getting rest, as well as proper nutrition, will help you have a healthy-looking beard for years to come. Also, make sure to keep your beard manageable by brushing it every day and using beard oil or butter to keep it looking fly.

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

• Beard Boost Serum: This serum uses the power of biotin and caffeine to promote hair growth and help you thicken, build and grow your beard.
• The trendsetter Grooming Kit: Beard shampoo, conditioner, serum, and comb all inside a manly carry bag.
• Willie's Essential Kit: Holiday Edition: This effective beard kit is scientifically formulated to replenish, moisturize, and hydrate the skin while restoring, fortifying, and encouraging healthy beard growth.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Sideburns Shape

Growing out just your sideburns can be a fun and rewarding experience. Here are the steps to make it happen.

1. Grow Out The Sideburns

The first step, of course, is to begin growing out your sideburns. Depending on if you’re going for a cleaner look or a more unruly look will determine how long your sideburns should be. That means they can be anywhere from half an inch to more than four inches in length. Regardless, ensure that you grow them half an inch past their final length. This will give you room to work with and make it possible to trim them for an even look.

2. Shave Off Unwanted Hair

Next, you will need to shave off the hair that connects to your chin hair. The key to a good sideburn look is to let it be the star of the show. You can grow a goatee if you’d like. Just make sure that the goatee and sideburns do not touch. Pick up a grooming kit and use the razor and a good shave lube to remove the unwanted hair. Lather your face with the shave lube, shave off the hair around your jawline and neck, and then rinse. 

3. Trim And Style The Sideburns

Finally, you will want to trim the sideburns and style them however you see fit. Use a beard trimmer or comb and scissors from the grooming kit to cut the facial hair uniformly. You can also use the included beard-shaping tool to finish shaving and cleaning up your sideburn lines. We also recommend investing in a good beard brush and beard butter to give your sideburns a smooth and soft feel.

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

• The Expert Grooming Kit: Contains everything you need to shape and style your sideburns, including a razor, scissors, beard brush, comb, and beard-shaping tool.
• Shave Lube: Has all-natural ingredients to give you a smooth feel to your skin without irritating it.
• Beard Butter - Original: Used to keep your beard hydrated, moisturized, and smelling great.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Full Beard Shape

Growing out your facial hair takes time, especially if you're starting from scratch. But the process of growing out a full beard is pretty straightforward:

1. Let your hair grow.

This one seems pretty obvious, but you have to let your hair grow for a period of time. Beard hair tends to grow a little bit faster than the hair on your scalp, and you can expect your beard to grow by an inch every 2-4 months.

2. Use the right products.

The difference between a good-looking beard and a patchy beard or unkempt look comes down to the beard products you use. We recommend cleansing your face daily with a facial cleanser or beard wash to keep hair follicles and pores from becoming clogged and using a quality beard oil to keep your beard hair soft and tame.

As you're in the beginning stages of growing a full beard, you probably don't need a beard brush, but as it gets longer, this may be a worthwhile investment, too.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get this facial hair style:

• Wild Willies True Cleanse Daily Face Wash: to keep your skin clean and free from clogged pores
• Wild Willies Original Beard Oil: to keep your beard looking smooth
• BONUS: Wild Willies Beard Growth Supplements: for those who are just a little bit impatient and want to speed up the growth process.

3. Keep it defined. 

You don't want a scruffy beard while you're trying to grow it out, so be sure to keep it trimmed daily or every other day, depending on how quickly your hair grows. Be sure to shave your neck line and cheek lines to keep your growing beard looking well-groomed.

4. Trim it up as needed.
