The long stub

First, we will explain the long stub. The long stub is a stubble beard with hair longer than five millimeters. This beard is a little longer than the well known 5 o’clock shadow beard.

You can grow this beard pretty fast because it will take only three to five days. The barbers at Benoah Barbers are advising this beard to men with an oval, square or diamond face shape.

The van Dyke

Secondly, we will explain the van Dyke. The van Dyke is a beard named after a famous Belgian painter, Anthony van Dyke. This beard style is known for its simplicity and for the bald jaw line. Nevertheless, it contains a moustache and hair on the chin. Therefore, it’s more a combination between a moustache and a goatee instead of a beard. But to grow this style you need at least two months of patience. The barbers at Benoah Barbers do advise this beard to men with a round face or a small chin.

The classic beard

Aside from the long stub and the van Dyke you also have to most known beard of all: the classic beard. This beard marks the transition from boy to men and is fully grown after at least three months. But note that it is important that the beard is maintained after four weeks to prevent wild growth. This ensures that the beard will grow into a well maintained shape. The barber is advising this to men with a square or oblong face.

The Garibaldi

Then last but not least we will explain the Garibaldi. The Garibaldi is a full and wide beard rounded at the end and connected with a moustache.
