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.

Our Favorite Celebs With a Tailored Beard
A tailored beard can take on a few different forms, but it has a few things in common: it’s on the shorter side and it’s always defined and well-groomed.

How to Grow and Maintain the Perfect Tailored Beard
A well-done tailored beard can define your jawline and looks great on men with a square face shape. Follow these steps to grow and style a tailored beard.
1. Grow out your facial hair.
A tailored beard is in the short-to-medium category, so you’ll want to grow your hair out somewhere between 1-3 inches. This may take several months, but you can help speed up the process with right products. Add a growth supplement to your daily vitamin routine, and try using a beard serum that will strengthen your facial hair and promote strong, healthy growth.
2. Clean up the edges.
The secret to a great tailored beard is clean lines and edges. A shaping tool is your friend. Hold the curved part up against your cheek and use a safety razor to get a close, clean shave. You should also shave the area along your neckline to keep stubble away.
3. Keep it at a reasonable length.
Once you have some growth, you should maintain a reasonable length, keeping your beard no longer than 3 inches or so. You can use your trimmer along with the comb portion of the shaping tool to get a uniform, even trim throughout. If you prefer a bit of a longer beard, you may choose to get a closer shave around your cheeks and leave a bit more hair around your jaw and chin.
4. Hydrate your beard to keep it soft and tame.
A tailored beard is a well-kept beard, which means you don’t want brittle, scruffy hair. Use a beard shampoo when you wash your face. A shampoo specifically for your beard will cleanse your hair and skin without stripping away natural oils.
Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect tailored beard:
- Wild Willies Beard Oil- Cool Mint: to soften hair and promote healthy growth.
- The Edge Shaping Tool: to maintain clean lines around your cheeks.

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 Viking Beard
The Vikings were proud of their beards. They were a symbol of manliness and strength. Although they were usually long and full, they were well maintained. Follow these steps to nail this Scandinavian look.
1. Let your facial hair grow out.
If you’re starting from scratch, it may take several months to get a solid Viking beard. If you struggle to grow your facial hair, try some beard growth gummies that contain biotin, vitamin E, vitamin B5 and Vitamin A. Daily supplementation of your diet with these gummies will aid in beard health and help grow your beard faster.
2. Keep it clean with the right products.
Things can get hot and sweaty out there on the battlefield. After a long day, be sure to cleanse your face and beard thoroughly with a beard wash that will get rid of dirt and grime without stripping away precious sebum oil that your hair follices need.
3. Style and maintain it.
The Viking beard can take on a number of different styles, but the main thing is to keep it healthy and styled so it doesn’t look unruly. If your beard includes a mustache, keep it trimmed right above the lipline. Keep the sides of your beard trimmed to a uniform length, and if you are growing it out longer, be sure to brush it with a beard brush to keep your hair tame. Finish off your style by using a beard oil or beard butter to keep your facial hair soft and looking great.
Here are some of our favorite product recommendations to help you get the perfect Viking beard:

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.

Johnny Depp couldn’t decide what beard style he wanted to go for, so he’s rocking some combination of a patchy beard, goatee, soul patch, and French fork beard all in one.
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.
