What is a Hollywood beard and how to get it?

Brett fashion began in Hollywood in the early 1930s. Famous actors used beards to create the image of a dangerous and strong man. For a while, the classic Hollywood goatee was forgotten, but triumphantly returned 4 years ago and still remains relevant and fashionable.

Brett's advantage is the ability to experiment. It goes well with a mustache, it is relatively easy to make out (even independently). If you wish, you can grow a long beard in the Russian style. Another plus - the classic Hollywood beard gives masculinity and helps to correct too large facial features.

Bretta is also suitable for men with sparse vegetation. - variations in length will help you find the optimal shape.

A mustache will help balance the facial features. So, the wide ones visually "hide" the massive jaw, narrow the wide face. Thin tendrils accentuate the shape of the lips.

Brett suits almost everyone, regardless of age and hair color. But when choosing such a beard, it is worth considering the shape of the face.

Brett should choose men with rectangular or triangular faces. But for chubby faces it is better to choose another option, since a Hollywood beard is able to visually "expand" the face, highlight the flaws.

Hair color does not really matter. Unless it is a little more difficult for blondes to grow a beard than for brunettes or redheads. As for the structure, it is more difficult to care for a curly beard - you cannot do without a special wax.

A Hollywood beard helps correct the following deficiencies:

• an elongated or too narrow chin (visually widens);
• insufficient beard density.

As for the length, it all depends on preference. The only condition is that short men should not grow a long beard, because in the end the image turns out to be comical.

You can correct facial features thanks to variations with a mustache. For example, a thin mustache accentuates the lips, wide ones - on the upper part of the face. Strange as it may sound, the mustache is able to visually make the look more open. Therefore, a brett with a wide mustache is a great option for men who wear glasses.

Sideburns can be added to the beard. But keep in mind that very few people go to this option. In some cases, sideburns can visually narrow an already elongated face and add volume to a wide one.

If you plan to design a beard yourself, you should first consult with stylists or choose a shape based on examples on specialized sites.

You can “try on” various forms using a special program. You can experiment with the length, add a mustache (try playing with width and shape) and sideburns. If you don't know which shape suits your face type, look at the photos of famous actors and choose the best option.

First you need to grow a beard so that the hairs are the same length. In addition, in the process there will be an opportunity to see how thickly the hair grows, whether it is possible to arrange a beautiful beard.

If the beard is sparse or the hairs grow in "clumps", then it is better to abandon the idea right away. To increase the density of hair and accelerate its growth, you can try taking a course of vitamins (preparations with biotin, fish oil in the composition).

Regular brushing or massage has a good effect on hair follicles. Also, the activity of hair growth in men is also influenced by the hormone testosterone, the production of which can be spurred by including nuts, spinach and broccoli in the diet.

Define upper and lower bounds. To make your hair more manageable, you should moisten your beard with water before cutting (if your hair is thick and naughty, you can use a regular face cream). Then remove excess water by blotting with a towel and comb in the direction of hair growth.

You can decorate the upper border at home using a razor, trimmer or special stencil. In the first case, you need to apply a shaving gel or foam to the skin.

After, with gentle movements, outline the boundaries, first on the cheeks, then on the neck

The top line should be located 1-2 cm below the cheekbones (depending on the desired shape)... The main thing is to act carefully, in small movements, so as not to shave off excess hairs.

The lower border is located a couple of centimeters above the middle of the neck.

Depends on the shape of the face and the structure of the hair. The length of a classic brett is usually no more than 5 mm, but if you wish, you can leave the hairs longer.

You can adjust the thickness and trim the edges with sharp scissors or a trimmer. The same tools are used for shaping.

Brett is a short mustache that blends into a long beard. If you plan to add sideburns, then they should not be too wide.

After the procedure, the beard is combed, wax or gel is applied, and then loose or too long hairs are removed.

A haircut is half the battle, the main thing is care so that the beard looks neat. Blondes are lucky in this regard. Light hair is thinner, less noticeable, which means that there is no need for frequent correction. Brunettes have to carefully monitor the shape and length of the beard.

1. Don't wash your beard every day. For complete care, a simple wash and wash with a special shampoo once a week is enough.
2. But you need to comb your beard more often to direct hair growth.
3. Don't use a hair dryer. Firstly, hot air has a bad effect on the skin of the face, and secondly, it dries the hairs - it takes more time to style. Rubbing with a towel is also not worth it. The best option is natural drying.
4. To add volume, you can comb your beard (without waiting for it to dry completely) in the opposite direction to hair growth. Better to use combs with sparse teeth.
5. Itching may occur from time to time (usually during hair regrowth), which usually goes away quickly.

For styling, you need to use special products for the beard and mustache (wax, oil, gel).

Many stars are happy to transfer cinematic images into ordinary life. The fact that a beard can change an appearance can be seen in the example of George Clooney. George with a bretta and a clean-shaven one are practically 2 different people.

The beard has changed the image of many actors.

• Jake Gyllenhaal the classic Hollywood beard slightly widened the face, corrected the elongated skull and made the image harmonious and interesting.

• Ryan Reynolds the beard made him more masculine and charismatic, emphasized the eyes and smoothed the sharp jawline.

• Ryan Gosling just loves to experiment. But the classic Bretta clearly suits him very well.

• Justin Timbeleik "Hid" a massive chin behind his beard. Bretta visually balanced and smoothed out large facial features.

Many men do not grow a beard because they find grooming to be time-consuming. This is partly true. But the result is worth it. In addition, now you can find many products for beard and mustache that will make grooming a pleasure and will take a minimum of time. And you can correct the shape yourself, just buy a good trimmer.
