The age-old question for beard growers: to embrace the under-chin hair, or sculpt a clean, defined jawline? Both styles have their merits. A beard that extends naturally under the chin often looks fuller and more rugged. Think lumberjack chic or sophisticated gentleman with a touch of wild. It's a great choice for those with weaker jawlines as it adds volume and definition.
On the other hand, a beard trimmed to exclude under-chin hair, often referred to as a 'chin strap' or a beard with a defined neckline, offers a sharper, more polished aesthetic. This style can make a round face appear slimmer and emphasizes the jawline.
Ultimately, the best choice depends on your personal style, facial structure, and the image you want to project. Experiment with both! Start with a fuller beard and then try trimming it back to see which look you prefer. Don't be afraid to ask your barber for advice – they've seen it all and can help you achieve the perfect beard style for *you*.
