The best beard style for bald men is the one that makes you feel like yourself. After all, it’s a look that you’ll be sporting around the clock, and any irritation or itchiness can get old fast. Think about your face shape, and how facial hair will affect it, but not so fast if you’re at KJ Barbers. Here are six cool styles for bald men from the hipsters of Instagram.
- Clean-Shaven Face with Neck Beard
When you’re sporting hair on your head and none on your face, it can make sense to keep it short. The clean-shaven look is as classic as it gets, but complement it with a neck beard to cover up any bare patches around the collar.
- The two-step combover
A “combover” refers to when part of your hair is slicked back and the other part flopped over your forehead—it’s a style that was popularized by JFK in his presidential portrait. This two-step combover goes one step further, adding a beard that covers up any receding hairline while also being stylish in its own right.
- The designer stubble
This style is one of the most popular trends in facial hair right now. While it’s technically not a full beard, it’s close enough that you’ll get away with it in most settings. What’s great about the designer stubble is that it requires almost no effort at all. You just show up looking like you normally do and people will assume that’s how you always look. One of the great things about this look is that is works well for any face shape and any hair color.
- The circle beard
This style takes some time in the mirror each morning, but it looks great on bald men. Comb the front of your head up into a high point above your forehead and give yourself a circle beard around your face. You can also try going for a goatee without any hair on your chin — it’s easy to shape and makes you look like a mature businessman instead of a college kid.
- The chin curtain
This is a classic beard style for those who don’t have much hair on their head. The chin curtain comes from the idea of “letting your facial hair grow as long as you can,” and it does look cool when paired with a shaved head or buzz cut.
- Goatee with a Mustache
The goatee is a classic beard style that never goes out of fashion, but adding a mustache to it makes it even cooler. This combo makes a man look rugged and masculine at the same time.
- Wedge
If you want to keep things short and simple, then try out the wedge beard style. This is one that consists of just a mustache and goatee connected by a chin strip of hair. The natural result of this style is to have a triangle wedge shape under your mouth.
- Short Beard with High Fade
The high fade and short beard combination is one of the most popular men’s hairstyles at the moment. Short beards are great for bald heads because they don’t cover any of your skin. However, if you want to go for a long beard, that’s fine, too. Just keep it trimmed around your face and neckline.
