It seems like a simple question: does your beard need to be the same length every time? But it’s not as easy as you may think. There are a lot of factors that go into this, and there is no one perfect answer for everyone. If you’re still curious about this topic, then read on! This blog post will cover some of the most important things to consider when deciding how long your beard should be.
In fact, it does depend on how you want to look at it. If you want your beard to be the same length as your hair, or if you’re thinking that your whole beard needs to be at the same length. First, let’s consider the hair on your head. Your hair doesn’t need to be all one length for it to look good – so why should your beard?
There are many different lengths that you can choose from when deciding how long or short your beard should be. So if you’re looking at this topic and thinking “my whole beard needs to be the same length”, then just relax. You don’t need to worry about that – there are plenty of options for you!

Should your beard be the same length as your hair?
No, your beard does not need to be the same length as your hair. In fact, it’s better if they’re not! Having different lengths looks much more natural and gives you a lot more styling options.
Having your beard and your head hair could potentially make you look weird as well. And, if you’re growing out your head hair as well then it could look even more strange.
It’s much better to just have different lengths for both of them! If you still think that they should be the same length, why? What are some reasons why this would be a good idea? And what do other people around you think about this?
Having different lengths gives you a lot more options when styling your beard. For example, if all of the hair is at one length then it may not look as good with some styles – such as an extended goatee or Van Dyke style.
If your head and facial hair are both very long then that can also look good – but it will take a lot more work! It’s going to be much easier for you though if both of your hairs are at different lengths. As well as giving you more options, this also gives your beard a natural look and feel.
Having the same length all over is not very realistic either because hair always grows out at different rates. If you keep your beard at the same length then it will look like there is a lot of patches in your facial hair where some hairs are longer than others, and this may be not what you’re going for!
Should side of beard be shorter?
It depends. If you’re going for a more natural look, then no – the side of your beard should not be shorter than the other parts.
But if you’re trying to go for a specific style with your beard, then yes – the side of your beard may need to be shorter to achieve that look. For example, if you’re trying to go for a mustache and beard combo, then the side of your beard will need to be shorter to make sure that both the mustache and beard are even.
My beard, for example, it’s pretty thick by itself. So when it grows, it grows pretty much in every single direction. Meaning that my face will soon start to look like a soccer ball. Giving me a very round shape.
However, if I trim my sides and keep them shorter, I can pull off a whole different shape to my face. My barber often tells me that he more or less sculpts my face, rather than shaving me.
So, should you trim your beard? Yes, if you want to achieve a certain look. No, if you’re going for a more natural and rugged look. Trimming the sides can help to give you a variety of different shapes – such as square, oval or round. Just make sure that it still looks like a beard and not as you’ve just cut your hair short!
How do I keep my beard the same length?
There are a few different ways that you can keep your beard at the same length. For example, when I’m trying to make sure my facial hair looks even and not patchy – I will use an electric trimmer with adjustable lengths. This way I always know how long each of my hair is going to be!
Another option though is to just let your beard grow out and then trim it to the same length every time. This can be a bit more difficult because you have to make sure that you’re cutting it evenly – but it’s not impossible!
Overall, there are plenty of ways for you to keep your beard at the same length. You just need to find the one that suits you best!
Should mustache be shorter than beard?
This is a more difficult question to answer because it depends on your personal preference and the style that you’re going for.
Generally speaking, most people prefer to have their mustache be shorter than their beard – but this is not always the case! Some people may like to have their mustache be the same length as their beard, or even longer!
If you’re going for a more natural look then it’s best to have your mustache at the same length as your beard. This way, when they both grow out – they will be even and not patchy or anything like that.
However, if you do want to go for an extended style with your facial hair such as a goatee or Van Dyke, then you may need to have your mustache shorter than your beard to make sure that they both look good together. I see a lot of models having both short mustaches, and some models having really long mustaches. I’ll link two just for reference down below. Each comes with its look!
So as you can see, it depends on what style you’re going for and your personal preference! Just make sure that you experiment with different lengths before settling on one.
Does trimming a beard help it grow?
This is a common myth and the answer to this question is no!
If however your beard is patchy or doesn’t look good at all when grown out, then go ahead with the trimming. Maybe try some different lengths on each part of your face until you find one that suits you best. Then once you find the right one, stick to that length and just let your facial hair grow!
Should you trim your beard while growing it out?
This is another question that doesn’t have a definitive answer sadly! Sorry for making it hard for you!
It depends on what you’re going for with your beard, and how fast it’s growing. If you’re trying to grow out a full beard then I would recommend not trimming at all until it’s the length you want. However, if you’re just trying to get it to a certain length then go ahead and trim it – but make sure that you’re doing it evenly so that it looks good!
Experiment with different lengths until you find one that you like, and then just stick with that length! It’ll be much easier for you in the long run.
Also, your beard isn’t prone to male pattern baldness, so chances are that you can experiment your whole lifetime! Hopefully, you won’t take as long as a lifetime to figure out the style that works best for you!
Conclusion
There are a lot of things to consider when it comes to keeping your beard at the same length. It depends on your personal preference and the style you’re going for. Just make sure that you experiment with different lengths before settling on one! And don’t forget, trimming your beard while growing it out is perfectly acceptable – as long as you’re doing it evenly!
So, now that you’ve read all this, what’s your final decision? Will you be trimming your beard to keep it at the same length, or will you be growing it out and taking the time to trim it evenly?
