Brett or the Hollywood beard has become the "calling card" of many famous American actors, stars. Hollywood has always been a trendsetter, so today Brett is very popular among men who want to always be in trend.
A Hollywood beard is a classic that is always modern. She looks worthy both on young faces and perfectly emphasizes the masculinity of representatives of respectable age. It doesnât matter who wears it - blond, brown-haired or brunette - such an ornament distinguishes a person from the crowd, creates a long-lasting image.
Brett does not leave women indifferent, attracts their looks and makes a favorable first impression for a pleasant meeting.
What is Bretta?
This model gives a special, brutal charm to the face, creates the appearance of a âheavyâ jaw. It consists of a fairly wide mustache and densely frames the chin. The mustache and beard lines elegantly connect and gently grab the entire lower jaw.
The upper border of the beard should be slightly below the middle of the cheek. However, depending on the wishes of the owner and his style, you can vary the width of the lower jaw. It also depends on the type of hair and the thickness of the beard itself.
The lower border of the beard passes at a distance of 2-2.5 cm above the adam's apple.
If you shave the lower border too high, then the facial expression of a person will look too intense. If you lower the lower border or leave everything âas isâ at all, and the beard will naturally move into the chest area, then we will get a âhairy machoâ. This does not always look correct and leaves an impression of scruffy.
It should be noted that often a Hollywood beard is performed without whiskers, cheeks and areas to the temples must be shaved smoothly.
The history of the model "Hollywood beard"
The Brett model has a long history. If you look at old photographs of the XIX century, you can see a lot of elegant gentlemen with a beard, quite reminiscent of Hollywood.
And the Hollywood stars themselves have preferred it for a very long time, since the 30s of the XX century. Brett was worn in the movie by classic villains - bandits and mafiosi in action films and detectives of that time. She became a kind of symbol, an attribute of a rebel hero, even among the quite prosperous cinema millionaires.
The image of a tough guy, capable of everything with whom you need to keep an eye out - this is what psychological subtext carries this fashionable attribute of a modern man. This is probably why Bretta is so attractive, both for men who want to look like real heroes, and for women who want to be with them.

The image stepped over from movie screens into real life. And Hollywood stars, who really want to resemble their heroes in reality, even in the eyes of the audience, choose this particular model, exuding the very âstarryâ charm, captivating everyone around with its masculinity and originality.
Hollywood beard or Brett sets the tone in Hollywood. A brilliant cohort of cool guys on the screen and in life who are her followers are George Clooney, Hugh Jackman, Robert Downey Jr.
The Hollywood beard on Jake Gyllenhaal's face is especially good . This actor has a rather harmonious shape of a somewhat oblong skull. The beard helped in this case to slightly increase the chin, make the face a little wider.
Ryan Gosling, although he loves to experiment, but still the classic Hollywood beard without whiskers looks on his face just fine. The oval shape of the actorâs face is just suitable for the most daring beard options, despite the fact that it is much more difficult for blondes to give the beard clear boundaries.
Ryan Reynolds is the owner of a pointed chin. This feature of his face is easily softened by a beard. The face visually lengthens, while the eyes are well accentuated. The beard for this actor has become a profitable solution, emphasizing his extraordinary.
Justin Timberlake's beard somewhat âbalancedâ the large features of his face, hiding his heavy chin from the eyes of the audience. Gave the features some softness and intimacy.
Who is Bretta suitable for?
Fashionable men's Hollywood beard, unfortunately, is not suitable for every man. The main thing here is the shape of the skull and the features of the hair structure. The most suitable option for this model when the face shape is rectangular or triangular. Much less often, the Brett looks good on the oval contour of the face. But chubby such a form of beard should be avoided, as this model even more visually "rounds" the shape of the lower jaw. Therefore, a round-shaped face will look a bit comical with a Hollywood beard.
Using a Brett or a Hollywood beard, you can hide the imperfections in the shape of the chin, visually solidify this part of the face, if the chin is too small, hide too long and expand the chin too narrow.
It should be noted at the same time that the length of the beard itself also matters. If a man has not grown, then a lush and long beard will make him look like a gnome.
Tall and slim fit any length of the beard.
The most interesting thing is that with the help of the Brett model it is possible to correct facial features, working directly with the mustache. You can make the mustache a little thinner and accentuate the lips. If you make the mustache more powerful, then the upper part of the face stands out visually, the emphasis goes to the eyes. At the same time, the eyes look larger than they actually are. This technique is especially good for those men who wear glasses from myopia.
Thin whiskers are acceptable in combination with a Hollywood beard, but not always. If the stylist is faced with the task of hiding a small chin, then the whiskers in this case shave off. Otherwise, the visual effect of the expansion of the face in the lower jaw will disappear.
