Triangular Faces
 
What to look for: A narrow, pointed chin and a wider forehead shape a triangular face. This shape can accommodate longer and fuller facial hair.
 
Who did it: Check out Ryan Gosling's facial hair. Around the Oscar-nominated actor's chin, a soft, dense layer of hair enhances the contours, and a mustache of the same length balances out the weight at the chin.
 
This look is easy to grow and maintain. Just keep it growing until you get the desired length, but keep the mustache trimmed and well-shaped. Make sure there aren't too many stray hairs on your cheeks and neck. Use a sharp razor to maintain a clean outline.
 
Diamond Faces
 
What to look for: A diamond face shape is an upside-down triangular shape, with a narrow forehead and a stronger cheek and jaw area. This disposition likes full facial hair and especially some sideburns to streamline the appearance.
 
Dane Cook's rugged man look

Who did it: Dane Cook is a man of strong acting talent and also has a strong jawline which he artfully balances with his long sideburns and thicker facial hair. He sports a rugged and modern look with slightly more hair on the sides and a regularly trimmed center.
 
Again, make sure that the outline of the mustache and below the cheeks are kept clean and the neck is free of any unruly growth.
 
Find your Perfect Fit
 
When taking your own face shape into consideration while growing your beard, you are making sure to use the full potential of your looks. Don't be shy and get creative with it.
 
Have fun watching your beard grow. You never know how daring you might be and how good you might look. If you don't like it, shave it off again. It will surely grow back, and you can experiment with different styles and update your look as often as you want.
