Chin straps to long chin beards: Your total guide
Why the long face? Or are you just in need of chin beard advice? In any case, once your beard gets mistaken for a Rapunzel wig at the Halloween party, you should probably start thinking about your chin beard care. Here you’ll find everything you need to know about the chin beard to find out which chin beard styles are right for you.
The art of chin beard styles
If you are a chin beard newbie, you need one thing most of all: patience. The chin beard requires a long time to grow. If you want to keep your chin beard short, you might reach enough volume after two weeks. If you want to grow a long chin beard, it can take up to two months. So, hang in there!
Once you’ve made it, grab your trimmer to determine a rough outline for your new chin beard style. Afterwards you can shave your chin beard and shape it in more detail. A device that manages different lengths of hair easily is especially helpful for complex chin beard types. Philips OneBlade is a hybrid styler which lets you trim, shave, and shape clean lines. A great all-in-one solution.

Long chin beard or short? Pointy or round? With or without moustache? Only you can decide which of the variety of chin beard styles you can choose from suits you. This not only depends on your personal style, but also on the density of your beard growth and the shape of your face to make it look convincing. These are the classics:
Goatee: Some say ‘baaah’, others say ‘cool’. The goatee chin beard looks, as its name suggests, like the beard of a goat. It is ideal for novices, because it grows quickly and just needs to be shaved neatly at the edges so that the cheeks, upper lip, and neck are free of hair. For the classic goatee chin look, cut your chin beard pointy at the bottom.
Chin Puff Beard or Soul Patch: Not a chin beard? Well, strictly speaking, these variants are lower lip beards. But those who are laid-back enough to wear them don’t care about such trivial things. These precisely shaved beards lengthen the face and are ideal for round faces. The chin puff is a small, vertical strip. For the soul patch you should cut your lower lip beard or chin beard pointy at the bottom.
Chin Strap Beard: The chin strap beard is a masterpiece of the art of beards. It winds in a thin strip symmetrically from hairline to hairline and in the middle softly snuggles up to the chin. If you want to shape this chin beard type, you should have a steady hand and ideally an even beard growth. Dark hair forms an especially nice contrast.
Chin Curtain: The crazed brother of the chin strap. It, too, traces the shape of the face but has more volume and looks much more natural. In comparison to its soft perfectionist brother, the beard care for the chin curtain is a breeze. The result, however, will cause a storm.
Henriquatre: For those that want more than ‘just’ a chin beard, consider this royally inspired chin beard style. The round-the-mouth beard is both masculine and soft and especially well-suited to angular faces. If you have a versatile trimmer like our Philips Beardtrimmer Series 5000, you can shave its inner and outer edges precisely and from time to time trim it to an even length.
If you want to take a break from the full-beard look, this guide to the chin strap, goatee, chin puff and other styles can offer you all the tips you need to choose a look and groom it correctly.
