The Quest for Every Beard Type

This guy is up to 39 so far...


http://www.dyers.org/blog/beards/beard-types/

I’ve been growing a beard every winter for some years now, and every spring, I try to see how many facial hair variations as I can check off from the chart of facial hair types. Listed below are descriptions of 44 facial hair types including examples of the 39 variations that I’ve been able to attain so far.


A La Souvarov

A sideburn / mustache combo where the sideburn curves downward toward the corner of the mouth and then curves upward into the mustache. Similar to a curvy version of the Franz Josef.

...

Dali

A mustache that curls nearly straight upward as worn by the artist Salvador Dali.

...

The Zappa

A full mustache that extends slightly downward past the corners of the mouth, combined with a soul patch. Popularized by musician, Frank Zappa.
