Like Jonah Hill at red carpet affairs or Colby Rasmus when he was on the Tampa Bay Rays, neckbeards have been sported by countless stars. However, this facial hair look has become something of a hit-or-miss style throughout the years. Even LeBron James has been spotted sporting a neckbeard from time to time — and we think he pulled it off. This style may not be for everyone's taste (or hair-growing) genetics, though. If you want to try to grow a full-on untamed neckbeard, you’ll get no judgment from us; we say go for it. However, for those who want to opt for a clean neckline, you have our support as well.

If you’re growing a big, long beard, you might have thought you could stick the razor in the drawer permanently. But then as you’re staring in the bathroom mirror, a new reality makes you start to wonder… Should I trim and shave my neckbeard? And if you’re growing/sporting a short or medium-length beard, the same question comes up. Shave my neckbeard, or not? Which will look/work better? If you let your neck area stay untrimmed, it’s possible you may feel like you’re looking scruffy and messy. Mostly, it’s not the “scruffiness” that’s the issue, because let’s face it, all beards are dope. It’s the doubt that can creep in and dent your confidence if/when you get looks and comments (...

If you've spent the past year hiding an unruly beard beneath your PPE, it's time to get your beard back in shape before you ditch your mask and head back to the office.

Some things are better left in the past. The Neck Beard might just be such a thing. A Neck Beard by definition is any hair grown around the neck, or anything below the jawline. In reverse to normal beard styles everything is shaved clean except the neck which is left hairy. This is a ballsy move not many dare to make. A fairly popular beard among wealthy men in the 1800s, the Neck Beard suffered a steady decline after 1900 in both popularity and prestige. It hit rock bottom in 2014 when it was added to the Oxford Dictionary as a pejorative term, describing “an unkempt man”, typically associated with a nerdy, antisocial type. Nowadays, it mostly serves to underline the image of the bum...

There are a few different ways to turn the neck beard into a legitimate style, and they largely differ based on your own personal tastes and preferences. You can either wear the beard on its own with a clean-shaven face, or you can use it complement a full, bushy beard. Those two looks are quite different, but they are both legitimate in their own way. What matters most is that you always follow the shape or natural look of your head. The clean-shaven route typically provides a rugged, outdoorsy appearance, while a face-neck combo accentuates your facial hair for a much more casual look. Choosing between those two styles can be tough, especially if you’ve never grown a neck beard before,...

Neck Beards: Men often feel like they don’t have any options when it comes to styling themselves. And frankly – it couldn’t be further from the truth! A man can change his look right up by keeping a beard, shaving it right off, styling a moustache in one way or another etc. Not only is this convenient, it is also extremely easy to do.

We’re here to inform, give a bit of background, tell you how to keep it looking its best, and provide some names of famous people who’ve worn the style. So, we’re not here to judge the neck beard.
