How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Old Dutch Beard Shape
Here are some simple steps to get you started on this timeless classic :
1. Grow Out A Full Beard
To begin growing out a traditional old dutch beard style, you will first need to grow a full beard. The power of the old dutch comes from how massive and powerful this look can be. Some people can pull off shorter beard lengths. However, you will need a good amount of facial hair to make it look how it should.
2. Nurture With Professional Products
One important thing to remember when growing old dutch style beards is that they're usually kept up very well and uniform. That means ensuring you get the most out of this chin beard by using the right products to moisturize, shape, and define the look you're going for.
Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect old dutch beard:
- Wild Willies Beard Growth Supplement: These capsules made from natural ingredients will help you grow and thicken your beard in no time.
- Wild Willies Beard Brush: You must brush your beard daily to get that uniform look from old dutch beard styles.
- Wild Willies Fuel Your Beard Kit: Save money by getting the complete kit that includes supplements, a brush, a comb, and more!
3. Shave The Mustache
It wouldn't be an old dutch style beard if you left that unruly mustache! As the beard grows, you can start shaving off those upper lip hairs and see this magnificent technique come to life.
4. Keep It Styled
From here, it's just a matter of maintaining your ever-growing chin facial hairs while cutting back on your mustache facial hairs. You’ll also want some clean lines to complete the look. The Wild Willies Fuel Your Beard Kit includes everything you need to shape up those unruly hairs and deliver the sharp look you’re going for. The included supplements and serums will promote hair growth to get a nice full beard. Then you can use the beard brush to keep the beard looking neat and well-groomed.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Rap Industry Standard Beard Shape
Take the following steps to grow out your rap industry standard beard.
1. Grow A Goatee
The first step that you need to take is to grow a goatee. That means growing the facial hair around your chin and lips while shaving off the hair on the neck and jawline. For now, you can grow a full beard, and we will show you how to shave the unwanted parts in the next couple of steps. If you have trouble growing adequate facial hair, try some daily beard supplements that naturally promote hair growth.
2. Trim The Facial Hair
The next step you want to take is to trim down the hair. Typically, this style has shorter hair for the goatee, so you will want to trim it down to half an inch or less. You can use a beard trimmer or a comb and scissors. Take the comb and only allow the hair through that you want to trim. Then use the beard trimmer or scissors to clip off the excess hair. It takes practice but eventually, you can get the right size through the comb over time. We recommend picking up a grooming set with everything you need to trim and style your beard.
3. Shave And Style
Finally, you will want to shave off the unwanted areas and style the rap industry standard beard the way you want. If you grabbed the grooming set, it will have a razor and beard-shaping tool that will make this a breeze. Lather up your facial hair with a good shave lube. Then place the beard-shaping tool against your face to cut even lines. Shave around the contours or hard edges of the tool so that your lines are nice and clean. Finally, rinse your face and apply a dab of beard oil to keep it hydrated and moisturized.
Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect rap industry standard beard:

- Beard Oil - Cool Mint: The refreshing smell of cool mint will lift you up while the oil keeps your facial hair from becoming brittle.

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.
Yes, you need to let your beard grow, but you also need to keep your facial hair trimmed in order to get the shape and style you want. This means trimming up any stray hairs that have gone awry, and maintaining the overall oval shape of the beard. You may need to keep it shorter in some places, like around your cheeks, and longer around the chin. The Edge Beard Shaping Tool is a simple but effective tool that will give you precise lines around your cheeks and neckline and will help you trim up the sideburns and maintain symmetry while your beard grows.Reed Beard

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Reed Beard Shape
If you’re ready to look like Mr. Fantastic himself, then check out these steps to grow this beard style:
1. Grow a large, long beard.
Begin by taking growth supplements to provide the vitamins and nutrients your hair needs to thrive. It may take some time, but continue growing your beard 4-8” long to get the effect you’re looking for here.
2. Create clean, smooth lines.
As you grow out your Reed beard, you need to keep the edges trimmed up to create clean, smooth lines. Use a beard shaping tool to ensure symmetry along the cheeks, and trim up any excess hairs with your trimmer to keep your desired length.
3. Brush daily and style.
You will also want to brush your beard daily with a proper beard brush. You could also use a beard straightener to get Reed Richards's style by straightening those beard hairs. Continue to style your beard hair as it grows by ensuring it has clean lines, sharp edges on the beard itself, and a long mustache to fall down over the chin hairs.
Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect Reed beard:
- Progro Beard Shampoo: Keep your beard healthy and fresh using a shampoo designed specifically for facial hair.
- Progro Beard Soft: Lock in moisture and hydrate your beard with essential oils that keep it shiny and feeling soft.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Royal Beard Shape
Follow these steps to achieve the royale beard style with or without the chin strap.
1. Trim up all your beard hairs.
Trim up your entire beard so there is consistency in the length. We recommend anywhere from a 4-6 mm attachment on your trimmer.
2. Define your goatee.
Next you’ll want to use a razor or your trimmer without an attachment to define the goatee shape. Remove a small space between your mustache and your chin on either side.
3. Straighten up the chin strap, if you’re keeping it.
If you want to go with the chin strap look, shave the rest of your face with a razor, leaving only the area around your chin. Be sure to use a good shave lube to prevent razor burn. Be sure to always use fresh blades when you shave.
4. Moisturize your face.
Finish off with a daily moisturizer that will protect your skin and keep it hydrated. We recommend always using a moisturizer with SPF to prevent sun damage.
Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect royale beard:
- Wild Willies Shave Lube: to get a close shave and prevent razor burn
- Fresh Razor Blades: to get a close, precise shave

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect 5 O’clock Shadow
Growing a 5 o’clock shadow is quick and easy. The most important thing is to take good care of your skin so it looks clean and well-maintained.
1. If you have a beard, shave it off.
If you’ve been working on a longer beard style, it’s going to need to go. We recommend shaving it completely with a razor. Don’t forget to use a good shave lube in order to minimize knicks and cuts or the dreaded razor burn.
2. Skip shaving on day 2 and maybe day 3.
The 5 o’clock shadow looks best after a day or two of growth. While you won’t have to worry about shaving for a day or two, you should still cleanse your face daily with a facial cleanser and use a moisturizer to prevent itchy, dry skin.
3. Maintain your stubble by keeping it trimmed up.
There’s a fine line between an intentional 5 o’clock shadow and looking like you just forgot to shave for a while. Keep your stubble in check by using your trimmer with one of the lowest guards (usually a 0 or 1) every 2-3 days.
Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect 5 o’clock shadow:
- Wild Willies Shave Lube: to prevent knicks, cuts, and razor burn
- Wild Willies True Cleanse: to keep your face clean and free from pore-clogging bacteria
- Wild Willies Beard Scruff Tamer: to moisturize skin and prevent itchiness
