How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Braided Beard Style

As you can see, there are a number of ways to rock a braided beard. We’re going to show you how to grow and maintain a long braided beard like you see with the hipster style.

1. Grow a super long beard.

If you want to try a braided beard, we’re going to assume you already have a decent start on a long beard. Now, keep growing it. Like, for a long time. To get this look right, you’ll need a good 12 inches or so of hair below your chin. With a beard this long, it’s important to keep your hair healthy to prevent dryness and breakage. Your daily skincare routine should include a beard shampoo, a conditioner, and a beard oil to hydrate and soften your facial hair.

2. Trim up the sides.

You want the sides of your beard to be long, but not quite as long as the part directly below your chin. After your sides have grown out 5 or 6 inches, you can start trimming them up as needed so your facial hair angles downward toward your chin. You can use trimming scissors to keep the side length in check.

3. Braid your hair. 

Once you get enough length below your chin, you can braid the hair. Start by using a beard brush to brush your hair downward and remove any tangles. Then, section it off into three equal sections, and then begin weaving them together, placing one section on top of the other until you reach the end.

4. Add some bling.

If you really want to be extra, you can add a bead to the end, like you see in some of the photos above. Then, tie it off with a rubber band. 

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

• PROGRO Beard Shampoo & PROGRO Beard Soft Conditioner: to cleanse and soften facial hair.
• Wild Willies Beard Oil: to hydrate your beard.
• Beard Brush: to style and remove tangles.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Pointy Beard Shape

Growing a pointy beard will take a few months to grow out, but it’s a unique look that can accentuate a triangle, diamond, or heart-shaped face.

1. Grow out your beard.

You’ll want a good bit of length at the bottom of your beard; somewhere around 4-6 inches. To do this, make sure you have a skincare routine that supports healthy growth. We suggest using a stimulating beard shampoo that promotes hair growth, followed by a beard conditioner to soften hair.

2. Keep the sides trimmed up.

As your beard grows, keep the sides trimmed shorter than the bottom part on your chin. This will give the slanted illusion of that “V” shape you need in order to get a good pointy beard. Use the wide-tooth comb side of a beard shaping tool and angle it so you’re removing more hair from the area towards your ears, and leaving it a bit longer as you get closer to your chin.

3. Style it daily.

To style your pointy beard, simply use a beard brush and a beard butter to comb your hair downward in a point, toward your chin. First, rub the beard butter into your palms and then run your fingers down your facial hair, starting at the root. Then, use the brush to smooth it out.

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

• PROGRO Beard Wash: to cleanse your facial hair and promote growth.
• PROGRO Beard Soft: to soften facial hair.
• The Edge Beard Shaping Tool: to help you trim the sides of your beard.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect French Fork Beard Shape

We’re going to give you the steps for growing a simple, traditional French fork beard with a medium to long-length beard.

1. Focus on the length.

The first step to getting a French fork beard is having enough length that you can actually split it at the bottom and keep the two sides separate. You’ll want to go for a medium to long length beard, with at least 6 inches of hair below your chin. To promote healthy growth, try a beard growth kit that contains growth supplements and a beard boost serum.

2. Don’t trim it.

Unlike other beard styles where you may trim the sides and keep the bottom longer, a French fork beard is long all throughout. Put the trimmer away for a while, and use trimming scissors only to clean up your mustache and keep the hair off your lip.

3. Style it to separate the bottom into two pieces.

The styling process is what makes this beard stand out. Once your hair is long enough, divide it right in the middle of your chin. This is where the “fork” will start. We recommend using a heat styling tool like a beard straightener to gently pull the hair downward and out a little bit, away from the center of your face. A heat styling tool will hold the style better than a beard brush.

Then, run some beard butter through each side, still gently guiding the hair downward and out a bit away from your face. The heat combined with the beard butter should keep the two sections far enough apart to distinguish this style. 

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

• Wild Willies Growth Kit: to promote healthy growth
• Beard Straightener: to style your hair downward and apart.
• Wild Willies Beard Butter: to make sure the style holds throughout the day.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Hipster Beard Shape

To become the hipster you’ve always meant to be, check out these steps to grow a proper beard.

1. Begin Growing A Long Beard

First, you have to start out growing a large, shaggy beard. It doesn’t matter the size as long as it’s a good length; anything past four inches should be fine. It will take time but using the right daily supplements will help speed up the progress and thicken your beard. These have all-natural ingredients that are intended to help you grow your beard.

2. Trim But Don’t Get Carried Away

Throughout growing your long hipster beard, you will want to trim it every so often. You can go a couple of weeks in between cuts, but you still want to try to trim it. Cutting back the beard will help it grow quicker and can still give it a little style, even though you want the look to maintain a messy style. Pick up a good grooming kit with everything you need, like scissors and a beard brush, to trim and groom your beard.

3. Keep Your Beard Clean And Healthy

Finally, you want to keep your hipster beard clean and healthy. Just because it looks ragged and long doesn’t mean it needs to be full of grease and dirt. Use a beard scrub to cleanse your face, eliminate dead skin, and remove oil from your pores. You should clean your beard at least once every day or two to remain fresh and soft.

Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect [TYPE]:

• Beard Growth Supplements: Contains the vitamins and minerals your facial hair needs to grow thick and strong.
• The Expert Grooming Kit: This kit has everything you need to keep your hipster beard looking nice, including scissors, a comb, a brush, a beard-shaping tool, and more.
• Tough Scrub: Use this scrub every day or two so that your beard remains clean and your face hydrated for maximum effect.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Corona Beard Shape

Growing a Corona beard is simple; you just let it grow wild and natural. Here are some steps you should still keep in mind.

1. Grow A Fantastic Beard

The beauty in the Corona beard is that it’s simple. All you have to do is grow an unruly beard. No trimming or styling is necessary. This is because when everyone was in lockdown, no one could get to a barber or hairstylist. That means your beard is free to grow on its own, in its natural state. If you are having trouble growing your facial hair, consider using a beard serum to help encourage growth.

2. Wash It Daily

Even though you will let your beard grow without styling it, you should still keep it clean. Wash your beard with a shampoo and conditioner daily to keep it fresh. If it’s really dirty, you can use a cleanse or scrub to help tackle dirt, grease, and grime.

3. Use All-Natural Products

Continue to grow your beard unruly and as long as you like. Typically, Corona beards would be uncut for months, so they should be a minimum of two inches in length. You can add beard oil or butter, which will soften your beard, so it doesn’t become hard or brittle.

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

• Beard Boost Serum: Helps promote a healthy and thick beard with natural ingredients like biotin and caffeine.
• Progro Beard Shampoo: Cleans your beard without stripping away essential oils it needs to thrive.
• Progro Beard Soft: Softens your beard and makes it irresistible to the touch.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Imperial Beard Shape

You will need to learn to shape and style your imperial beard if this is the look you’re going for. Here are the steps it takes to do so.

1. Grow Out The Beard

To begin, start growing a good-sized beard. This can be anything more than one or two inches, but the key is to grow a long mustache. The mustache works best when it is a couple of inches in length. We recommend taking gummy supplements daily to help boost your beard growth. 

2. Style Your Mustache

You will need to use a beard balm to style the mustache. Put a dime-sized amount of balm in your fingers and slowly twist your mustache hairs on the ends. This will cause them to come to a point, and the balm will make them stay. Then you twirl the mustache around your fingers to create the classic imperial beard look.

3. Groom The Rest Of Your Beard

Finally, you must groom the rest of your beard to look good with your mustache. Take the time to comb out your beard daily with a beard brush. You can also use a beard straightener to help tame and lay down those unruly hairs. Then you can shave along the cheek and necklines to type up the overall look.

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

• Beard Growth Gummies Supplement: Daily supplements that taste great and will help encourage a thick and full beard.
• Beard Butter Balm & Brush Combo Set: This set has beard balm to help you shape your facial hair and a brush to comb them in a uniform direction.
