If you want your beard to have the maximum level of impact, then it is a great idea to team it up with short hair. Short hair can make your beard look longer and it will also help your look to be taken more seriously.
Stylish hair will make it look as though you care about the way that you present yourself, even if you have chosen to wear your beard in a straggly or unkempt style. There are lots of different looks that can be portrayed by choosing to rock short hair with a long beard; from business-like to outdoorsy.

1. Coiffed Hair With Fade And Beard
A short faded hair with long beard look creates balance between elegantly coiffed hair and a rugged, long beard. Fades are very on trend and automatically clean up any scruffy beard look.
2. Baby Bangs With Beard
If you prefer very short hair with long beard, try growing out some baby bangs to create more coverage up top and balance out that beard. A round shape is ideal for a rounded beard and works on an oval face shape.
3. Bald Fade
Looking for your next short hair with long beard for black men? Medium bald fades shine the spotlight on your beard yet let you maintain some hair up top. This look is balanced and sophisticated.
4. Short Hair And Side Part For Wispy Beard
A chic side part adds organized elegance to a long, wispy bearded look. Creating neatness with your hair is very helpful if your beard is especially long or scraggly, like this one.
5. Short Bald Fade And Square Beard
This bald fade cut opens up your look to truly show off a gorgeous beard. This beard is actually square-shaped and is mimicked in this square cut of this high fade hairstyle. These features let the soft, playful mustache truly shine.
6. Short Straight Hair
The high and tight look is ideal with straight hair as well. To frame your face, let your straight hair grow slightly to one side over your forehead. Keep hair cropped close on the sides.
7. Coiffed Hair With Braided Beard
Even if you choose not to braid your beard, smooth, coiffed hair provides the perfect balance of textures. Be sure to keep your hair trimmed close to your scalp on the sides of your head for some polish.
8. Side Part For Thick Hair
Working with a lot of hair and a lot of beard? Show off your gorgeous locks with a style that keeps the length on top but crops hair close at the sides. This will open up your face without covering you in hair! Add a side part for a tidy feeling.
9. Straight And Slicked Back For Textured Beard
Beards usually have more texture than the hair on your head, especially as they are prone to dryness. Contrast this texture with a smooth, slicked back style that is tightly focused on the top center of your head. A close buzz should wrap around your head.
10. Long and Styled Locks
If you’re a pulled-together guy, then this styled look for longer hair is attractive yet keeps the focus on your beard and your face. Create a side part, cut hair short on the sides, and slick hair back with a dab of styling creme.
11. Super Short Cut For Full, Long Beard
The wide, full beard is clearly the centerpiece of this look, so a super short haircut is the way to go. You can keep a half an inch or so of length up top, but you should buzz your hair on the sides of the hair for a tidy vibe.
12. Slicked Back and Styled
Although the long beard in this style is looking a little wild, the hair is the polar opposite. It has been slicked back with hair gel and then carefully cut through with a comb to give a sharp style. This look offers the best of both worlds.
13. Fluffiest Long Beard With Short Haircut
This long & full beard is an absolute classic. The style is so completely “beardy” that a version of it can probably be found in almost every single costume shop in the country. To help to give your beard extra fluffiness, you should run through it with a comb to remove all knots. Only trim it if you really need to.
14. Line Up
A sharp line up cut with a long beard is a very trendy choice. Comb your hair upwards and into the middle to create a pompadour. Use the comb and a razor to create a distinctive line in your hair. Complete the look by edging your facial hair with a delicate smooth curve.
15. Points and Rolls
This cool style mixes things up. Whilst the hair is rounded over to give a smooth rolling style, the beard has been groomed into a pointed style. This will actually help to create a really eye-catching and appealing shape for your head and your hairstyle.
16. Volume from the Roots
Big hair looks great when teamed up with a big beard because it provides a look of equilibrium and equality. To give your hair more volume, you will need to comb it straight from the roots. Lifting from the roots will help to keep your hair looking light and airy.
17. Sweep over Short Hair with Long Shaped Beard
This is another style where the hair on the head is a little bit disjointed from the facial hair styling. Whilst the head hairstyle is a little bit wacky and combed over in an unusual fashion, the beard hair has actually been carefully shaped into a rounded style. When putting together, the two looks still work well.
18. Shaved Head and Big Beard
If you want your facial hair to do all of the talking, then you should make this the focal point of your style. Completely shave all of the hair off of the top of your head and then let your facial hair grow wild. Allow outwards and downwards growth to get the biggest beard.
19. Business Haircut
Long beards do not have to look unprofessional. A shaped bushy beard can look business cool if it teamed up with the right short haircut. Use a good quality product on your head hair to make sure that you do not have a hair out of place for your next professional business meeting.
20. Men’s Side-swept style with a Box Beard
A side-swept style is really fashionable at the moment. Put a little bit of styling gel in your hair and then use a comb to neatly style your ‘do upwards and over to one side. A square beard will help to give you a strong, manly look. Squaring off your beard can help to change the shape of your face.
21. Men’s Spiky Hair
A soft spiked hairstyle looks amazingly refreshing with a soft, unmanicured beard. To get soft spikes in your hair, run a little bit of gel through it and pull upwards from the roots. Use your fingers or a comb to pull your hair into forward facing spikes which look totally touchable.
22. Greaser Hairstyle with Vintage beard and Long Mustache
Talk about a melting pot… this style mixes a retro greaser look from the 50s with a facial hair combo which is straight out of the Victorian era. Yet somehow this style works. To make your facial hair look more Victorian, tease your mustache so that it grows separately from your beard.
23. Ginger Beard with Dark Hair
A lot of men grow ginger-tinged beards, even when the hair on their head is a completely different color. If you are one of the lucky ones, embrace your inner ginger style, and grow your facial hair out into a straggly ginger style. Slick your hair back for a cool hipster look.
