5 facial hair ideas for men

1. MOUSTACHE
The moustache has been around as a men’s facial hair style for centuries, but it remains a eternal look with a plethora of variations. Young men, between the ages of 18 and 35, normally do not look good with a bushy moustache. If you are older, a moustache can help to hide your lessening lips, let the hair fall just slightly over the top of the upper lip to create an allusion that your lip is fuller than it is. A good rule to follow when trimming a moustache is to follow the natural arch of your top lip – every mouth is different, and you want your moustache to match your face.
2. SHAGGY
If you work in a typical office setting, this facial hair style is not likely to be well-received by your boss. However, if you are a student, artist, musician, or something else of that nature, this is a great look to try out – and you undoubtedly don’t need to be a stylist to create this look. All you have to do is let your facial hair mature on your chin in a patch that is about the size of the bottom of your chin.
3. BEARD
Young men with full beards like this will inevitably look about a decade older, and that normally isn’t desirable. They can also make some men look threatening and cold. You really need to remember to smile when you have a full beard or you will be very distant, especially if you are younger than forty.
4. GOATEE
A goatee is something between a miniature beard and a moustache. It is basically a circle of facial hair that wraps over your lip, around your mouth, and across your chin. If you aren’t self-assured with your shaving skills, grow out your facial hair to the length that you want your goatee to be and then go to a hair stylist to get your first goatee.
5. SIDEBURNS
If you want facial hair, but you don’t feel relaxed with a beard or moustache style, you should give sideburns a try. Young men look chiefly attractive with sideburns, and any man with high cheek bones will look very remarkable with this style. In general, men with pointier chins look better with pointed sideburns, and men with more square-shaped chins look better with squared-off sideburns
