50 Amazing Transformations That Show The Difference Between A Well Maintained Beard Vs. Neglected One
You don't have to qualify for the Beard and Mustache Championships to know what an epic facial hair transformation feels like. Women have pounds of make-up, eyelashes, and brow equipment as ammunition for a new look, but for most men, all they have is their beard. However, after looking at the following list you will probably agree that that's all they need.
In this before-and-after photo compilation, men undergo subtle or dramatic beard trims that turn some of them into unrecognizable versions of themselves. Who knew that a couple of snips could turn your average joe into a GQ front page ready model. Scroll down below to see some amazing transformations and don't forget to upvote your favs!

Rafaella Bueno 6 years ago
According to my dad, who grew his beard over the year for his Santa Claus job and then chopped it off at the end of year, it was a huge relief.

Big Change!
Aunt Messy 6 years ago
He looked like a bum in the first one. Hopefully he realizes the lesson that a lot of men don't get - if you're losing your hair, cut it SHORT. Potentially very short. Men who cling to long hair when they're balding on top just look silly.

I prefer his hair on the left and his facial hair on the right would be a better balance.

My Dad always trimmed his beard when it got caught in either his zip or guitar strings! He was unable to shave due to extremely severe eczema but his mum still nagged him about trimming it (which only made him stubborn) til he passed away at 54. <3

I don't understand these gel'd haircuts. Not only they look like someone hasn't washed their hair for a week or two, but what is it gonna look without that gel? Are you expected to do gel it every day or something?

Linda Christian 6 years ago
It always grows it just breaks off so you don’t see it getting longer
Whawhawhatsis 6 years ago
It needs another couple of inches off the beard, and a shirt would help so you can see where the chest hair ends and the beard begins.

My Dad had a beard, he couldn't shave due to extremely severe eczema, so I have a soft spot for bearded men (but couldn't date one)! A lot of these men looked good before & just more polished after. But I think all men should grow a beard at some point in their lives! I shall when I am an old lady!
