Goatees have been very popular among men for a long time. The styles and trends men started to follow in the past decade took a very different road when hairstyles and facial hair became a part of this trend.

What Is A Goatee?

Goatee beard style, which is particularly achieved by growing facial hair on your chin leaving your cheeks clean. Although, these days goatees come in a variety of styles, lengths, and shapes.

Traditionally, the goatee is a facial hairstyle with a short, pointed beard on the chin and no hair on the cheeks. But lately, we’ve seen many celebrities rocking stylish variations on the goatee, showing that it’s a versatile facial hairstyle, one that can be dressed up or down.

Whether you are lumberjack chic, a real country boy or a professional, there’s a goatee beard for you.

How To Shape Goatee 

How To Shape Goatee 
  • Using an electric beard trimmer, start at the neckline and work to the edges of your chin.
  • Next, move up to your cheeks and then your upper lip, removing hair with slow strokes until you achieve the goatee shape you want.
  • Then, shave up your right or left cheek, starting from the beard line. Repeat this step on your other cheek. Beginning at the beard line and moving away from your chin ensures you don’t accidentally cut into your goatee.
  • Finally, define the edges of your goatee with careful downward strokes until you have the desired shape.
  • If you want your goatee to stand out, consider using a razor to get a close, clean shave on your neck and cheeks. This will help make your new facial hair style stand out even more.

How To Trim a Long Goatee

How To Trim a Long Goatee Beard
  • To trim your goatee, start by performing the exact steps you used to achieve the initial shape of your facial hair.
  • Next, use an electric beard trimmer with a guard to trim the length of your beard. It is better to start with a longer length and progressively cut back the hair until you achieve the desired length. You can always cut more off, but you can’t add length back on without letting it grow over time.
  • Then, use a pair of beard trimming scissors to prune away any stray hairs you missed with the trimmer.
  • Finally, if you want to, apply beard oil or balm that can help keep your facial hair and skin hydrated. Using a styling oil or cream is also a good idea for long goatees.

FAQs

Here are some answers to more detailed goatee questions.

How far should my goatee go under the chin?

A good rule of thumb is to place two fingers above your Adam’s Apple. This is the spot where you should trim your goatee neckline.

Will a goatee make me look older?

Yes. Studies have shown that both men and women perceive a man with facial hair as older. Facial hair can also make you seem more successful, dominant, and aggressive than clean-shaven men.

Van Dyke and goatee beard — what are the differences?

These two styles of facial hair might appear synonymous, but there are key differences. A classic goatee is typically defined as facial hair grown on the chin while the cheeks are clean-shaven.

A Van Dyke has no hair on the chin. Instead, it features a full goatee with the addition of a mustache. The classic Van Dyke has no connecting hair between the chin hair and the mustache.

How long does a goatee take to grow?

At an average facial hair growth rate of 0.3–0.5mm per day, you can anticipate it taking about 4 to 6 weeks to grow enough facial hair to style it into a full goatee.

Is a goatee high-maintenance?

No, while a goatee does require regular maintenance to maintain a sharp look, it is much lower maintenance than a full beard or other facial hair styles.

No matter which goatee beard style you choose, you are sure to look handsome, dapper and masculine in any of these choices.  Find a goatee style that flatters your face and emphasizes your best features, while taking into account the amount of grooming you are willing to do each day.
