Requirements for the appearance of a modern man allow any facial hair - from light unshaven in the form of a three-day stubble to mustaches and beards of various lengths and shapes. More recently, this was unacceptable, and only a perfectly shaven face was an indicator of neatness and grooming.
At all times of the development of mankind, among different peoples and cultures, different types of beards were of great importance for society and others. There were traditions, both religious and social, according to which it was necessary to wear a beard correctly. But in absolutely all cultures there was the following idea: if a man decided to grow facial hair, then he was ripe for a conscious, open expression of his beliefs. After all, growing a beard is not such an easy process as it might seem. Enormous patience requires the growth of vegetation, and proper care for it. But at all times, all kinds of beards have been an integral subject of male pride.
So, in ancient times, the vegetation on the face of a man was, first of all, a sign of masculinity, strength, power and wisdom. The greatest shame was considered if a man shaved his beard. And in Russia, for causing damage to any vegetation on a male face , a large fine was assumed at that time, the size of which was only three times less than the penalty for killing a person. Various beards were proudly worn by kings, kings, patriarchs, prophets, and even Jesus Christ. According to Karl Marx, history from antiquity to the present does not develop around the economy, but around the beard.
There were times when the appearance on people with a clean-shaven face was punished, for this they could even be executed. And vice versa - at other times, any kind of beard was legally punishable. For facial hair, taxes were paid, and each social group in society could only afford a certain kind and form of beard.
Today, the forms and
types of beard
haircuts can be different: wedge-shaped or oval, wide or narrow. With their help, it is easy to emphasize the merits or hide the flaws of the person from others. If a man with a fair face and dark hair, it is better to give preference to not too voluminous vegetation, and shave the hair on the cheeks. A slightly elongated or elongated face is rounded by an oval beard. For chubby men, an elongated shape with a medium-sized mustache is ideal. A triangular face means wearing the option “a la horseshoe” or “square” - this will give it massiveness. The “square” shape visually narrows the lower jaw of the
trapezoidal face.To obtain the desired
beard shape, the species of which have already been studied and the suitable one has been selected, it is also necessary to determine the density of facial hair, and only then proceed to cutting. To get an oval beard, stylists recommend cutting hair on the cheeks and neck from the beginning, and only then all the rest. In the case of a conical shape, it is necessary to adhere to straight lines, without kinks, and it is desirable to shave the hair on the cheeks. The creation of a “Russian” elongated beard begins with cutting the base and separating the mustache from the rest of the vegetation. To do this, gently trim the hair at the lower lip and corners of the mouth.
Remember that it is a beard that can radically change the face, so choose the right forms and types!
