30 Men Who Are Now Rocking A Bearded Look Share How They Looked Before

To learn more about recent beard trends, hair growing tips, and what areas people usually overlook, we reached out to Tiffany Carnevale-Russo, salon manager at Jaxson Maximus in Miami. She told Bored Panda that right now they see plenty of gentlemen who decided to grow out their beards and hair during quarantine.

Well, no wonder why — it was the perfect time for men worldwide to put down their razors and try something they never tried before. After all, if you were slightly out of luck and didn't manage to fully rock the look, you could just easily laugh it off since not that many people would witness your little mishap.

However, it seems that many were able to pull it off. Just take a walk around the city and you’ll be greeted by all shapes and sizes of groomed (and sometimes completely wild!) facial hair, whether it’s slick mustaches, full-on beards, or at least some designer stubbles. "Beard care has become a focus with our clients," Tiffany added.

If you were inspired by the number of men strolling down the street with their gorgeous new look, there are a few things to consider. "Make sure the hair grows in an even pattern," Tiffany advised. "Some men get bald patches throughout their beards. If this is the case, we recommend a goatee or not having facial hair at all."

"Sometimes, your beard can blend some areas to match so that the balding isn't visible. It entirely depends on the person and their hair growth pattern," she said and added that it's best to consult with your barber to see what would be best for you.

When asked whether there are any new trends on the radar, Jaxson Maximus’ manager explained that more men opt for a full beard rather than sharp lines and corners. Thankfully, it seems that the world is finally ditching the double mustache and the monkey tail beard looks. "More natural-looking is definitely more popular."

Once you’ve patiently waited through all of the stages of beard growth, you’ll find that sometimes it can be quite hard to manage. Tiffany told Bored Panda that "professional grooming products are key, so make sure to invest in proper skincare products. Best to consult with your barber or stylist to see what they recommend."
