How to make facial foliage work for you

The guff on bum fluff

The soul patch

This fur between the lower lip and chin originates from the beatniks, who liked to stroke it while listening to bad poetry. For a modern look, keep the hair short and neatly trimmed. Tops for squarer jawlines.

The goatee

The true goatee is a beard that's confined to the lower chin, but it can be worn long or short. Keeping length down to finger-width gives the best look, especially for bigger blokes with softer chin lines.

The goatee with mo’

Prune the goat-mo' to suit your face shape; a rounded goatee for an angular face, or square beard for Biggest Loser contestants. For a hip look, it should be kept short, or trimmed to create a thinner line.

Three-day growth

This look's popular at the moment. The beard should be grown all over but trimmed into shape by clean-shaving under the jawline. It looks good kept at a number two with clippers and generally suits all guys.

Line work

Cut the bulk of your beard out and leave the outline running along the jawline and around the lower lip and goatee. It's a very "now" look, that needs regular maintenance — oh, and it suits squarer profiles.
