In recent years, the hipster beard has become a defining feature of contemporary men's fashion. From the streets of Brooklyn to the cafes of Berlin, this facial hair trend has taken the world by storm. But what exactly is a hipster beard, and how can you achieve this look? Let's dive into the world of hipster beards and discover how Facetune’s beard filters can help you experiment with different styles before committing to a new look.
What is a hipster beard?
A hipster beard is more than just facial hair – it's a statement. Characterized by its full, well-groomed appearance, the hipster beard combines a rugged aesthetic with careful maintenance. It's a reflection of the hipster subculture's appreciation for vintage styles and artisanal craftsmanship, applied to personal grooming.
Popular hipster beard styles
Grey hipster beard
Embracing the grey is a growing trend in the hipster community. A well-maintained grey beard exudes wisdom and confidence. To achieve this look, focus on regular trimming and moisturizing to keep your beard looking healthy and vibrant. With Facetune's "full" beard option, you can experiment with how a grey beard might look on you – just adjust the color settings to add some distinguished silver to your facial hair.
Hipster handlebar mustache
Nothing says "hipster" quite like a handlebar mustache paired with a full beard. This combination adds a touch of vintage charm to your look. To create this style in Facetune, start with the "goatee" option and use the editing tools to extend and curl the ends of the mustache for that classic handlebar shape.
Long hipster beard
For those willing to commit to the grow-out process, a long hipster beard can be a striking fashion statement. Regular conditioning and careful trimming are key to maintaining this style. Use Facetune's "full" or "brush" beard options to visualize how you'd look with a longer beard – you might be surprised at how it transforms your appearance!
Short hipster beard
Not ready for the full lumberjack look? A short hipster beard offers a neat, stylish alternative. It requires more frequent trimming to maintain its shape. In Facetune, try the "boxed" or "balbo" options to experiment with shorter, well-defined beard styles.
Bandholz beard
Named after Eric Bandholz, founder of Beardbrand, this style is all about letting your beard grow to its full potential. It's a combination of a full beard with a mustache, all blending together. While Facetune doesn't have a specific Bandholz option, you can use the "full" beard setting and adjust it to visualize this impressive style.
Garibaldi beard
The Garibaldi is a full, rounded beard with an integrated mustache. It's slightly shorter than the Bandholz but still makes a strong statement. In Facetune, combine the "full" and "brush" options to create a similar effect, adjusting the length and fullness to your liking.
Verdi beard
The Verdi features a shorter, rounded beard with a stylized mustache. It's a great option if you want a distinguished look without the commitment of a very long beard. Try combining Facetune's "full" and "goatee" options, then fine-tuning the details to achieve this classic style.
Dutch beard
The Dutch beard, with its distinctive lack of mustache, offers a unique twist on the hipster beard trend. While not as common, it's perfect for those wanting to stand out from the crowd. In Facetune, start with the "strap" or "anchor" options and modify them to remove the mustache portion for a Dutch beard effect.
