About Beard Beasts.
Groom smart. Live sharp.
Beard Beasts is a men’s grooming publication for the decisions you make in front of the mirror: where to set your neckline, what to ask your barber, and which product will give your hair the finish you want.
Our story
It started
with the beard.
Beard Beasts began in 2018 with beard care. That remains a big part of what we cover: shaping a beard without losing the length, working with uneven growth, and keeping the skin underneath comfortable.
Our coverage now includes haircuts, styling techniques, and product guides. A photo can show you a cut you like. You still need to know whether it suits your hair type, how to describe it to your barber, and what it will take to style at home.
Your beard and haircut should still look good when you’re the one doing the styling.
What we cover
From the first trim
to your next haircut.
Whether you’re growing your first beard or changing a haircut you’ve had for years, start here.
Beard grooming
Get your neckline right, tidy the sides, and work through the washing, trimming, and skin care that keeps a beard manageable.
Beard styles
Compare short boxed beards, stubble, beardstaches, and longer shapes, with attention to your growth pattern and face shape.
Men’s hairstyles
Haircut ideas with the details that matter: hair type, length, upkeep, and what to ask your barber.
Hair styling
Work out when to reach for clay, pomade, or sea salt spray, and how to get the finish you want.
The Beard Beasts approach
A style name is only the starting point.
The useful part is knowing how to get it, whether it suits your hair or beard, and what keeping it looking good will involve. That’s where our guides put the detail.
Where the trimmer goes.
Trimming advice needs more than “tidy it up.” We explain neckline and cheek line placement, length, and the small adjustments that change a beard’s shape.
What the haircut takes.
A fade can look great in a photo and still need more maintenance than you want. Hair texture, daily styling, and time between barber visits belong in the conversation.
How the product behaves.
Hold, shine, weight, and how much to use tell you more than a product name. Our guides explain those differences and which hair types each option may suit.
