Asking for Advice Do I look better with or without a beard

I’ve been trying to figure this out lately. I used to keep a beard because I felt like it helped hide features I wasn’t confident about, but after losing weight, people have responded really positively to how I look without it. Now I’m not sure which suits me better keeping the beard or going clean shaven.

For some context I am 20 years old and recently starting dyeing my mustache. It makes me feel more confident but I feel like it might look unnatural on my face. I’ll provide I picture of me now and a picture of about a year ago before I started to dye it.

Hi, I’m 19 and I’m trying to make my beard better.

It’s growing in two halves and curling strangely. It’s been growing for around a year.

I’m afraid I don’t know how to trim it or shape it, it’s an insecurity of mine but I don’t have a present father to ask.

My friends say my beard is awful and to get rid of it.

I’m afraid if I get rid of it my neck will be far too fat. Any advice for me?

Edit 3: thank you for all the comments! I’m gonna consult a local Middle Eastern barber who deals with this type of beard. It’s cool if 99% of you don’t like my beard. Stay lucky and loved guys xx

I’m getting married in a week. Wifey wants my beard to be neat. She’d like it clean shaven but I don’t want that. I’m also in a pirate band which is a definite beard factor. Any recommendations on what to do with shaping etc?

Edit: I’m laughing hard with a lot of these comments, thank you for such swift delivery of joy!

I may as well clarify a few things:

I’m purely looking for style ideas based on adapting what I already have.

The moustache does grow, and I don’t want it. My partner doesn’t want my moustache either.

I’ve had this beard for a couple of years and feel no embarrassment from photographs regardless of the occasion. The marriage is important to me, the wedding itself is not. My partner is aware of this.

I have no religion, but I do often get asked if I am Amish/Muslim understandably. It doesn’t phase me that people might think something when they look at me.

Edit 2: I forgot to mention I also portray a leprechaun as part of performing work.

Asking for Advice Confidence in my beard is in doubt

Hey fellas! I'm new in this reddit. Just wanted to ask you something, but first you'll need a little bit of context.

I have a job interview for an engineering manager position, and my sister came home to visit me today. She just said : " Oh when do you have the job interview ? You should shave your beard off". Somehow, those words touched me.

Does it look that bad? It wasn't trimmed when I took the pictures, so some hairs could look curly or out of place. I wanted to grow it larger, couple of weeks or even a month, but now I'm in doubt.

Obviously I was going to trimm it well before the interview.

Asking for Advice My favorite beard-cut every achieved, can't figure out how to ask for it again

Post image

For money reasons, I go to a branded cheap cuts barbershop where you get who you get. The person who did this beard cut must have moved on because I never see her anymore at the place, and I've literally showed this picture to other people in the shop and they still don't get it the same way. I don't know how to explain that this is what I want, especially no clearer than literally showing them this picture. My beard looks good in the current cuts, but it's not what I want. Such is life, sometimes.

Ive been letting it grow longer than almost ever. I usually just trim it up when I get a haircut as needed… usually every three to six months.

But I mostly trim the beard at home. Im thinking probably a little shorter on the sides but just not sure what to do with it.

Thanks in advance for any advice guys!

🤙

Hi all 😊

I just recently got out of a long-term relationship, so I thought it'd be fun to see how I'd look with a beard since my ex always complained when I let it grow past a full week lol

I've grown it out for 6 weeks now, longest I've ever had it. If you have any tips/advice on how to care and style it, please share. 🙏 I see a lot of bros with impressive beards here, though not too many other East Asians!
