Whiskers are not only for Pushkin! How to choose, grow and care. excessive hairiness

Men believe that mustaches and beards give their appearance strength and masculinity. But why are some women scared off by bearded or mustachioed men? Do women like bearded or mustachioed men? If you wear a beard, mustache or sideburns, then remember that their shape should at least correspond to fashion and time and, of course, please your lover. It's just that many men believe that mustaches and beards give their appearance strength and masculinity. But why then are some women scared of bearded or mustachioed men?

Why not?

Why not? You can't answer in one word. There are several reasons.

1. sissies with sensitive skin don't like kissing bearded men at all. After such passionate manifestations of love, often the skin on the chin can begin to peel off or become irritated. And what could be worse than skin defects, especially on the face? You will not use a cream or hygienic lipstick every time and lubricate the wounded places. And by the way, from kisses with a mustachioed man, women's lips sometimes peel off.

2. The second reason women refuse bearded men is the fear that a man at some point may stop caring for his pride. So, by my own example, I can confirm that one morning a man, making sure that he finally subdued his chosen one, decides to shave not out of necessity, but at the strict command of his girlfriend's voice. And a sort of curly-shaven bristle turns into an untidy beard.

3. Thirdly, someone just doesn’t like facial hair: no mustache, like Boyarsky’s, no sideburns, like Pushkin’s, and it’s not even worth talking about grandfather’s beard.

Types of beards.

Since ancient times, such a phenomenon as a woman with a beard has been very curious to others. It was not difficult for women with beards in the Middle Ages to find high-paying jobs. They participated in fairground festivities and circus performances, which were attended by crowds of people. The beard on her face and the high female voice of the singer guaranteed the success of the touring troupe.

Whiskers (Backenbart) - appeared in fashion in England at the end of the 18th century and covered the cheeks with a narrow strip from the hair to the mouth. A little later, two types of sideburns appeared. The first was called Roman-Empire, when they merged with the hairstyle, and the second - English, in which the hair in the sideburns was longer and slightly behind the cheeks.

Sideburns a la Franz Joseph - wide sideburns with a mustache, suggesting a shaved chin. If the chin was not shaved, then both ends of the sideburns ended at the bottom with a beard in the form of the letter W.

Beard Wig (Bartperucke) - false beard, tied with threads to the ears. It was worn by Egyptian pharaohs, Babylonians and Assyrians.

Beard a la Henry IV - named after Henry IV. It is a wedge with antennae above the upper lip.

beard with mustache - a standard type of beard, especially loved by the carriers of freedom-loving and revolutionary thoughts in the 19th and 20th centuries.

English mustache - were especially popular in the 20th century, they were a short mustache above the upper lip. Charlie Chaplin wore a similar mustache.

Mush (French mouche, German Fliege) - the name of the gun on the chin or above the upper lip. In the seventeenth century the beard "fly" was fashionable. Its creator was Louis XIII, who, out of boredom, decided to become a barber and while shaving the officers became so carried away that he shaved off all the hair on his chin, leaving only a little above his lips.

Senator sideburns - a type of sideburns that are not connected to each other and are worn without a beard and mustache.

Frese (Frase) - the form of the beard worn by the Semites in Babylonia. They were sideburns with a beard, but without a mustache.

Goatee (Spitzbart) - a mustache with a pointed beard or only a beard of a similar shape.

Mustache (Schnurrbartt) - hair above the upper lip, came into fashion under Louis XIV. The Czech name for mustache is frneusy.

Chevalier - a type of mustache shape. They had the shape of two thin threads above the upper lip. The distance between the lip and nose was clean-shaven.

Favori (Favoris) - narrow sideburns framing the cheeks. They were fashionable in the first half of the 19th century.

How to choose the right beard.

Throughout the history of mankind, the fashion for beards and mustaches appears and disappears. A beard not only adorns a person’s face, symbolizes masculinity, but also helps to hide facial flaws. It is foolish to believe that, having grown a beard, a man should stop caring for it. Correction is constantly needed. What shape will suit your face?

Holders of a triangular face need to visually expand the lower part of the face so that the chin becomes more massive. Therefore, a horseshoe-shaped, square or slightly rounded beard will suit you best.

A man who has been shaving for 8 minutes every morning since the age of 18, by the age of 60, spends 2.8 months of his life only on such bath procedures.

For a round face, a beard from temple to temple and in the form of a trapezoid, as well as a medium-sized mustache, is suitable. This face shape needs to be visually lengthened - wear a beard from temple to temple and in the form of a trapezoid.

An elongated face is suitable for a rounded beard - “horseshoes”. And it is worth abandoning beards that lengthen the shape of the face such as "goatee" or "goat".

A trapezoid face has an unnecessarily weighty lower part, so the beard should visually narrow it. Pay attention to the beards of the forms "skipper", "jabot", such as "square".

When choosing the shape of the beard, you should also consider the color of the hair. For example, with dark hair and light skin, the beard should not be voluminous, and the hair on the cheeks should be shaved off. With blond hair, the beard can be wide, because there will not be such a strong contrast.

Please note that a voluminous beard is suitable for tall men - it balances the proportions. With an average height, the style of the mustache and beard may be different. With short stature, it is preferable to wear small beards.

An improperly fitted beard can spoil the face, fortunately, with a few hand movements, this can be corrected. If it is difficult to decide on your own the shape of the face and the beard or mustache that suits you, contact a professional once, and then do it yourself.

About beards and mustaches.

Anna Shilova, leading image stylist of the National Image Agency "Style Guide".

Anna said that a mustache always adds age to a man, regardless of shape. Whether thin or thick, thick or sparse, long or short. Therefore, if a young man seeks to make a career and look more solid, you can recommend him to grow a mustache. Also, many men began to grow beards, losing sight of the fact that it needs to be constantly looked after. Anna noted that here we do not take as an example a beard, like Dima Bilan's, where the drawing is shaved. Men sometimes refuse to watch how a 3-day stubble gradually turns into an untidy, unaesthetic beard that looks extremely sloppy. One of the common mistakes young people make is that they dye their hair but don't change their beard color. This is reminiscent of a woman who, while bleaching her hair, does not pay due attention to her eyebrows. As a result, a negative contrast is created, which spoils the overall impression.

Whiskers are an attribute of historical images and theatrical productions, they can go to a man only if he seeks to correct the form.

The skin on the face is thinner and more delicate than on the body, so the wax set for epilation should be designed specifically for epilation on the face. If you don't want to mess around with pure wax, you can buy a roll-on applicator that inserts wax cassettes. You can choose kits with strips, which are already pre-waxed.

Most wax kits are easy to heat up in the microwave, so you can use them at home.

To begin, gather your hair into a ponytail or fold it back so that the wax does not get on the rest of your hair. Make a ponytail and gather the hair with a headband to separate it from the hair that you are going to remove. Don't forget bangs if you have one. All uncollected back hair can be stained with wax or accidentally removed. Or use hairpins.

Remove makeup and thoroughly wash your face from dust and sweat. Waxing exposes the skin to bacteria, so it's important to keep the skin around your temples clean.

• If you have oily or sensitive skin, first apply talcum powder or baby powder to the area where you will be epilating.
• Do not wax if you have taken retinoids or over-the-counter retinol in the past 10 days. Otherwise, by removing hair, you can severely damage the skin.
• Do not rush to epilate if the skin in the temple area is burned, flaky or damaged in one way or another.

For the result to be more effective, the hair must be of the right length. Usually this length is 0.5-1 cm. Take small scissors and carefully trim the hair to this length. Keep in mind that it is better to be longer than shorter, because short hair (shorter than 0.5 cm) may not be removed by wax.

Heat up the wax. Read the instructions on the package carefully and follow all directions. It is important not to overheat the wax or you may burn your skin. Before epilating, apply some wax to the inside of your wrist to make sure it's not too hot. The skin on the wrist is quite thin, so if you do not feel that the wax is too hot, you can safely apply it to the temple area.

Apply wax to sideburns. Most hair removal kits come with a roll-on applicator that is easy to use. It must be carried along the border with the hair that you are not going to remove. Try to apply the wax to cover the roots of the hair you are about to remove. Thus, you will be able to remove almost all hair. Keep in mind that you should not epilate the same area twice, otherwise you can cause severe irritation on the skin.

To better capture individual hairs, keep your free hand on the cheekbone and stretch the skin so that there are no wrinkles on the temple area.

Lay a strip of cloth over the wax. Wax should still be warm! Wait about 10 seconds, then smooth the strip with your fingers so that it adheres better to the wax.

Try to remove the strip abruptly and in one motion. For a more effective result, stretch the skin on one side, and with the other hand, remove the strip of fabric diagonally upwards (against hair growth). If you do not stretch the skin at the temples, you can damage it. It is important to stretch the skin in the opposite direction of hair growth - then the hair will be easier to remove without damaging the skin.

After epilating, apply a soothing lotion or cream. The skin around the temples will be red and possibly swollen, so take a paper towel or napkin, moisten it with milk (diluted with cold water), apply to the temples for 10 minutes. The lactic acid found in milk will soothe irritated skin. This compress can be done every few hours.

• Instead of diluted milk, you can use a moisturizing lotion, over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream, or aloe vera gel.
• Do not apply any strong drugs (for example, containing acids, retinol, benzoyl peroxide) to the skin. Do not apply these drugs until the skin has healed.
• Be sure to apply sunscreen to the temple area because irritated skin is very sensitive to the sun.

Use tweezers to remove the remaining hairs. Remember that you cannot epilate the same area twice, so take tweezers and remove individual hairs yourself. If the wax remains on the skin, take some kind of moisturizer (like baby body oil) and apply it to the skin. Whiskey can be epilated again only after 2-6 weeks.

Buy a hair removal cream (for depilation). Special chemicals are added to such products that dissolve the proteins in the composition of the hair, as a result of which the hair weakens and falls out of the follicle. The most important criterion for choosing such a cream is the sensitivity of your skin. Choose a facial depilatory cream that contains aloe or vitamin E.

• Means for depilation are in the form of a cream, gel, aerosol. There is less mess with gels and aerosols, and the cream usually needs to be applied in a very thick layer.
• If you have very sensitive skin, talk to your dermatologist about which hair removal products are best for you.

Test the cream on the inside of your wrist. To find out if you are allergic to this cream, apply a little cream to the skin, wait exactly as long as it says on the package, and then wipe off the cream. Wait at least a day to see if you have an allergic reaction to this cream. The chemicals in the cream may contain the same protein complexes as your skin, which can cause an allergic reaction.

The inner side of the wrist is the best place to test the effect of the cream, because the skin on it is thin and delicate, like on the face.

Gather your hair back. A thick or thin headband is a great way to limit the exact area you are going to depilate. The hair at the temples should not be covered by this dressing, it should be clearly separated from the rest of the hair so that you can navigate when applying the cream.

• Examine the area around the temples. It is very important that there are no open cuts, scratches, burns or flaky skin on it. Waxing can cause irritation or even chemical burns, damaging the skin.
• Before depilation, be sure to wipe off makeup and wash your face thoroughly, and only then apply cream.

Apply a thick layer of cream to the hair around the temples. Gently massage the cream into the hair, but not into the skin. Using both hands, spread the cream evenly over both temples, and then wash your hands thoroughly.

The cream may have a strong smell, reminiscent of sulfur compounds - this is normal. If you can't stand the smell, choose a different cream.

Wait a while. Read the instructions carefully: it says how many minutes you need to wait. Most often, the waiting time is 5-10 minutes. Do not keep the cream longer than the recommended time, otherwise you may get a chemical burn. In the instructions for many creams, it is recommended to check how freely the hair is separated 5 minutes after applying the cream.

A slight tingling sensation is quite normal, but if you feel hot and burning, immediately wipe off the cream and wash the area well with cold water and soap.

Wipe off the cream. To do this, take a warm, damp cotton wool or cloth and gently wipe off the cream, along with it, the hair should also be removed. You may have to run the cotton swab a few more times to completely remove all the hair.

• It is important to completely wipe off the cream so that it does not leave a chemical burn on the skin.
• The hair will start growing again in about a week. This time the skin on the temples will be smooth and without ingrown hairs.

After the procedure, be sure to moisturize the skin. Usually, a depilation kit includes a moisturizing lotion that must be applied to the skin after depilation.

For many women, excess facial hair in the form of a fairly distinct mustache, white or, even worse, dark fuzz on the cheeks, sideburns and even a hint of a beard is a real problem. She can pursue a woman from a fairly young age. You can figure out how to get rid of facial hair only by understanding the reason for their appearance.

Causes of facial hair in women

The reason for the appearance of excess facial hair in a woman is quite simple - it's a matter of hormones. All processes occurring in a woman's body are controlled by hormones, but their production is not always correct. It is known that both female hormones - estrogens, and male hormones - androgens are produced both in the male and in the female body, but in the male body more male hormones are produced, and in the female body - more female ones. But in some cases it fails.

With a hormonal failure in women, overproduction of male hormones occurs, which leads to many negative consequences, and in some cases even serious treatment is required. To understand whether facial hair is a serious deviation or just a cosmetic defect is quite simple - you need to remember when they appeared and whether close relatives had them.

The genetic predisposition to a high level of male hormones does not pose a health hazard, but in this case, facial hair in girls appears as early as 12-15 years old, at the same time the fight against them begins. It is possible and necessary to deal with such a flaw, because it is not appropriate for a woman to have a beard or sideburns. The sudden appearance of excess facial hair can either indicate minor disruptions in the production of hormones, or be a hint of the appearance of cancerous tumors or tumors on the genitals, then treatment is simply necessary. In any case, one of the negative manifestations of male hormones in the female body is dark hair or simply abundant facial hair, and sometimes on the chest, back, stomach, where women usually do not have dark hair.

You can get rid of hair that interferes with being beautiful by using folk or cosmetic products, both in a beauty salon and at home, although in some not very neglected cases, a less radical way is also possible - lightening facial hair in order to mask them. All methods of getting rid of hair have both their clear advantages and disadvantages, so a woman, as a rule, has to sort through them all until she finds the best option for herself.

Removal of antennae at home with modern cosmetics

Hair removal from a woman's face at home can be done in several ways. Not all of them are pleasant, but still beauty is above all.

If the antennae are sparse, you can simply pluck the existing hairs with tweezers, just as eyebrows are plucked. But in this case, you need to seriously take care of hygiene and means for further processing of the skin.

The area above the lip, where unwanted hair is most often located, is very sensitive, so it is very important to properly treat the skin after hair removal so that the inflammatory process does not start in the area of ​​the torn hair follicle. In order for the hairs to break out less painfully, you need to massage the skin with light movements and apply ice for about 5-7 minutes to reduce the sensitivity of the treated area. Next, the skin must be degreased with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide.

You need to pull out the hairs one at a time, so as not to severely injure the skin. After the desired result is achieved and the antennae have disappeared, you need to re-treat the skin with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to prevent infection. The final touch in this hair removal option is the application of a soothing cream. If a woman's skin is very sensitive, it is necessary to wash it with a warm decoction of chamomile before applying the cream, which will dry and soothe the skin.

This method of removing hair from the face is quite effective, since it is enough to carry out such hair removal once a month. In addition, you can use cosmetic products of chemical production, but it’s worth saying right away that they give a less lasting result. Waxing is one of the most commonly used methods. The choice of wax for facial hair removal is quite wide, but the removal procedure is not pleasant, and the result lasts no longer than a week.

Hair removal with wax is justified when there is a thick fluff on the face, sideburns or a rapidly growing thick mustache that simply cannot be removed by pulling out one hair at a time. This method helps a lot when you need to get rid of hair quickly. In addition, you can use an epilation cream, but in this case, a woman needs to be extremely careful, since such creams are not suitable for everyone. Using such creams is simple - you need to apply a small amount of the substance to the selected area and wait a few minutes, then wash off the cream, you will have to repeat this action every 2-3 days.

Removing hair from a woman's face with folk methods

Some women get rid of unwanted vegetation exclusively by folk remedies, and it is immediately worth noting that some folk recipes are really effective and deserve the attention of the fair sex. The main disadvantage of using folk methods for removing hair from a woman's face is the need for long-term use of such products to obtain a result, but the result is more stable.

In the event that the owner of excess facial hair has thin and dark hairs, you can use a composition based on hydrogen peroxide. To prepare the mixture, you will need 1 teaspoon of 6% hydrogen peroxide, 5 drops of ammonia, 1 teaspoon of liquid soap. All ingredients must be thoroughly mixed and applied to the problem area. This procedure must be performed every three days. The hair will noticeably brighten and will not be so conspicuous after the first application, and after a few weeks of using this composition, the hairs will almost stop growing.

After a month has passed since the start of using the composition, it is necessary to wax or cream to get rid of existing hairs, in the future, the composition can be used once a week to slow down the formation of new hairs.

In addition, Rivanol solution can be used to remove hair. The solution is prepared on the basis of a decoction of chamomile with the addition of the above preparation. To achieve the result, you need to wipe your face with a cotton swab soaked in the solution, and after two weeks you can forget about such a nuisance as hair on a woman's face.

Among other things, you can epilate with sugar. To carry out this procedure, it is necessary to melt 2-3 tablespoons of sugar with the addition of a small amount of citric acid. It is best to add no more than a gram of citric acid at the first epilation, that is, at the tip of a knife. The prepared mixture should be cooled to a warm state and applied to the problem area. After waiting for the complete hardening of the mass, you need to remove it with one sharp movement. Such a procedure, of course, is quite painful, but the result lasts more than 2 weeks. In addition, this method of removal is suitable for even the shortest hair growing on the face.

The effectiveness and safety of facial hair removal in beauty salons

If you wish, you can take advantage of the achievements of modern cosmetology by going through a rather expensive hair removal procedure in a beauty salon. Many women are concerned about quite legitimate questions: how effective are such procedures and how safe are they. Most often salons carry out photoepilation and laser hair removal.

Photoepilation is the process of exposing a light beam to a hair follicle. With this method of hair removal, the effect is of sufficient quality only if the woman has fairly fair skin and the hairs themselves are dark, if this is not the case, it is almost always pointless to carry out such hair removal. At present, of course, there are more subtle methods of photoepilation that allow you to remove even lighter and thinner hairs, but such devices are not present in every beauty salon, and you can spend a lot of time and money searching for a suitable salon. In addition, this method of hair removal is not suitable for everyone, but its effectiveness is quite high. Hair follicles treated in this way stop growing.

There are several disadvantages of this procedure. Photoepilation does not guarantee that facial hair will not grow anymore, since those hair follicles that are in a dormant state, and there are a lot of them, sooner or later become activated. As a rule, the effect of photoepilation lasts from 1 to 6 months, after which the procedure must be repeated.

Laser hair removal has approximately the same principle of operation, but a laser acts as an active device. Women who have undergone this procedure note that it has a more lasting effect, although it costs more. These methods of getting rid of facial hair in a woman are considered completely safe, but only on condition that the procedure is carried out by a professional.

How not to remove facial hair

Of course, every woman gets rid of unwanted facial hair according to her preferences, but there are methods that are simply unacceptable. One such undesirable method is the shaving of hair by women. On the one hand, this is the easiest and, moreover, painless way to get rid of such hated facial hair, but on the other hand, few women like to be the owner of spiky stubble. With the help of shaving, of course, you can quickly remove hair, only this method of removal stimulates their growth. Hair will not only grow faster, but with frequent shaving, they will become thicker, growing in record time to unthinkable lengths. If a woman does not want to become a bearded woman, shaving should be abandoned.

If the hair removal of the antennae was carried out with the help of a cream and discomfort appeared during its use, you should not use it anymore, even if the initial result was excellent. The thing is that discomfort and burning sensation may indicate the development of an allergic reaction, so even if no special troubles appeared for the first time of use, repeated application of the allergen can lead to extensive rashes, and a visit to the dermatologist will not be avoided. In pursuit of beauty and getting rid of excess facial hair, women should not forget about their health and the consequences of the procedures performed.

A beard is an insidious thing: it can really add brutality to the look, but it turns some men into inhabitants of the forecourt. Lifehacker decided to find out what kind of beard to get in order to increase the chances of success for girls.

We invited the female half of the editorial staff and readers of our communities in social networks to rate 10 types of beards on a five-point scale: 1 - horror, 5 - beauty. The results were rather unexpected.

10th place - goatee with a mustache

mymanbeard.com

Strictly speaking, it is the mustache that is in the center of the composition here. Beard - insofar as. The approach is interesting, but not very modern - it would not hurt to shorten the mustache.

However, if you have a fairly bright appearance and pronounced charisma, it makes sense to try on this image. After all, how are you worse than Frank Zappa?

9th place - bad guy

independent.co.uk

It's dangerous to mess with someone like that, just look at his beard! Probably, men are guided by similar thoughts when they carefully wield a razor in an attempt to achieve perfectly even outlines.

Here is the same story as in the previous paragraph. Such a beard is not suitable for everyone: it is desirable for her to have an oval or elongated face shape and darker hair. Chubby blondes are better off looking for other options.

8th place - skipper's beard

machohairstyles.com

She is English. With this type of beard, you can fine-tune the shape of the face. A short hairline around the perimeter of the chin will soften its excessive massiveness.

The only catch is that such a beard, again, will not decorate everyone. For example, she is clearly not very suitable for the eternally young and slender Elijah Wood. If your look is severe, and the lower jaw has a rather pronounced outline, it is quite possible that it is the skipper's beard that will suit you.

7th place - what has grown has grown

The clearest explanation of why a beard needs to be looked after. It happens that it grows in such islands: it is thicker here, less often there. Alas, it is impossible to order a certain form and degree of density from nature, but it is absolutely always possible to improve what is.

Johnny Depp could have a pretty decent goatee if he paid her a little more attention. Neatness is extremely important, so arm yourself with a razor and trimmer to keep your beard in decent shape and get rid of everything in a timely manner.

6th place - beard with sideburns

thestylecircle.com

A compromise solution that combines all types of vegetation at once. Not to say that such a beard ruined Hugh Jackman, but it didn’t make it better either.

If you have a fairly wide face, choose a different shape: such a beard will only round it further.

5th place - I'm wild with my mother

imgur.com

Many strive for such a beard, but nature rewards only the elite with the necessary resources. Christopher Hivju was incredibly lucky: in addition to a glorious beard, he got a look that can crumble concrete. In theory, a killer combination. Or not?

Unfortunately, the survey participants had doubts about the expediency of having such a beard from the point of view of hygiene. And the very type of a big hairy man turned out to be to the liking of not everyone.

4th place - goatee

beardclinic.com

This type has a lot of variations, but the principle is the same: the beard remains only on the chin, the mustache goes exactly along the contour of the lips. The goatee suits almost every face shape, it is doubtful that it will look only in frankly moon-faced citizens.

Robert Downey Jr. is definitely not one of those, the chosen form of the beard definitely suits him. He would be in the first place, but either the competitors are too strong, or the association with Stas Mikhailov is to blame.

3rd place - classic of the genre

smg.photobucket.com

Hans Gruber from Die Hard, although an extremely nasty type, you can’t refuse him good taste. A neat short beard without unnecessary details - the owner clearly looks after her. Take a look at the hairline: before going to work, Gruber carefully shaved his cheeks and neck. Honor to him for this and praise.

If you want the same beard - arm yourself with a razor and a trimmer. The firmness of the hand and an excellent eye will not be superfluous.

2nd place - severe beard

kino.de

As you know, instead of shaving, Chuck Norris just kicks himself in the face, and behind his beard there is no chin, there is another fist. Moderately long, moderately thick, moderately well-groomed - it seems that this is how a typical male beard should look.

You will need a minimum of tools - only a trimmer so that the beard does not get out of control. Trim every couple of weeks - and you will be happy.

1st place - weekly stubble

davidjamesgandy.blogspot.com

In fact, it cannot even be called a full-fledged beard. It looks good, but in terms of tactile sensations when in contact with a bristly man, there may be questions. However, there is an opinion that the beginnings of the beard acquire the maximum pricklyness on the second or third day after shaving, then the bristles become softer.

Whether this is the reason for this or the penetrating look of David Gandy, but it was the weekly stubble that became the leader of our top. If you want to achieve the same amazing result - wait, let the stubble grow quietly. When it grows, periodically shorten it with a trimmer. It is better to choose models, the step of changing the length of the nozzles in which does not exceed 1 millimeter.

As it was required to prove - ideas about a beautiful beard are very diverse. We have collected the most revealing statements of the participants in our mini-study.

• "The best is the one that is well-groomed."
• "Either with a beard, or shave, to hell with half measures."
• "A good beard is a neat beard."
• “I can’t stand a beard that grows around the face, as it were. There is nothing on the chin, and bushes under it and on the neck. Any curly beard is very individual. Some people really like it, some don't."
• “The best beard is either no beard, or a week of unshaven. It is necessary to beat on the hands for sideburns, broad beards (even in a well-groomed form they look like washcloths) and for figured beards. Better than Clark Gable's thin mustache."
• “For a curly haircut, get a poodle, and just trim the beard neatly.”
• “The main thing is not to prick. And so that a man does not need to spend two hours every day at the mirror.
• “The perception of a beard depends very much on the attitude towards the person who grows it. I personally do not like beards that show that a man is overgrown, because he does not care how he looks, or vice versa, is overly concerned with how each hair grows on his face. Both are perceived as a signal of complexes.

And finally, four rules, the observance of which will surely help you grow a beard to the envy of everyone.

1. Don't grow a beard just because it grows.

Nature has a peculiar sense of humor: you dream of a bushy beard, but instead you get some kind of slurred shreds of wool. Formally, the task was completed, because there was more hair on the face, only beauty and masculinity did not increase.

Remember and pass on to posterity: complete naturalness does not benefit any beard.

If you have firmly decided to say goodbye to smooth cheeks, be prepared for the fact that merciless reality can put an end to this undertaking.

2. Bristle is also good

Light unshaven is cool, in many cases men look much better with it than with perfectly smooth cheeks. In cases where a beard does not fit into your style in any way, and you are simply tired of scraping your face with a razor every day, stubble is a good option. Prickly, true, but beautiful. More precisely, it can be beautiful if the stubble looks neat, and does not turn you into a person suffering from a permanent hangover.

Trimmer Help! Choose models with nozzles that allow you not only to trim your beard, but also to maintain a decent look of stubble. Philips trimmers combine impeccable cutting quality with innovative technologies, such as laser guidance or a vacuum system that prevents shaved hairs from flying in all directions.

3. A good beard is a well-groomed beard

If you deliberately refuse to pay attention to her and think that it’s not good for a man to mess with a trimmer, then it’s up to you. It would be naive to expect this approach to make you look like a stern Viking. Most likely, it will turn out to be a regular at the Grushinsky festival.

If you aspire to have a truly well-groomed beard, in no case do not let things take their course.

Facial hair, by definition, cannot be perfectly even. Somewhere more, somewhere less - periodically it must be reduced to a common denominator. In order not to turn your beard into an asymmetrical laughingstock with a slight movement of your hand, use a good trimmer. Philips BT9290 with laser guidance technology allows you to give the beard and stubble an extremely clear outline.

4. Beard loves cleanliness

This is not even discussed, no one has yet canceled the rules of personal hygiene.

Thickets smelling of tobacco, in which the remains of breakfast or lunch are hidden, make a repulsive impression. To avoid turning your beard into a supply store, wash it.

Captain Evidence claps his hands at such sudden advice, but the fact remains that for some reason many do not single out this stage as a separate procedure. Shampoo or washing gel will do for washing, the main thing is regularity. Women will be very grateful to you.

A beard can do wonders. She will hide an insufficiently strong-willed chin, help to correct the oval of the face and give your image the necessary share of brutality. True, all this is possible only with due attention to it. The ideal beard should be beautiful and well-groomed, and the length is not the main thing here.
