Growing and Maintaining a Hipster Beard » The best Tips

The Hipster Beard is one of the most popular beard styles of the 2000s. It is considered a fashion statement for confident men. Although the Hipster Beard may look like a regular full beard at first glance, it is essentially a styled version of it.

For a Hipster Beard, it's important to have a neatly trimmed mustache or upper lip beard, as well as clearly trimmed contours in the chin and cheek areas.

What is a Hipster Beard?

The Hipster Beard was originally popularized in the trendy New York neighborhoods like Williamsburg. In the 2000s, this beard style established itself as a kind of counter-movement to the clean-shaven businessmen of Wall Street.

The Hipster Beard quickly gained recognition as a revolutionary fashion statement worldwide. It has established the beard as a status symbol and remains highly popular to this day.

What sets the Hipster Beard apart are its clear contours and its comparatively elaborate styling.

A trimmed upper lip beard and an overall well-groomed and always correctly trimmed appearance are the hallmarks of this beard.

Should I Grow a Hipster Beard?

Whether a Hipster Beard is right for you depends in part on your hair growth. If your growth is lacking or if you have gaps in your beard, unfortunately, you won't be able to achieve the well-groomed Hipster Beard look.

With full beard growth, nothing stands in the way of a Hipster Beard. The Hipster suits any face shape and looks good on almost everyone. Especially elongated and oval faces benefit from this beard style. It makes them appear more compact and masculine.

How to Get a Hipster Beard: Trimming and Styling

1. The Beginning is Hard

At the very beginning of growing a Hipster Beard is the growth phase. Your beard hair needs a substantial length, and this does not happen within three days.

Depending on your type and hair density, it takes several weeks for your facial hair to reach the desired length. So, a lot of patience is required here.

2. How to Shape Your Hipster Beard

While you are growing out your beard, it’s worth having a professional (barber) assist you.

Since not all beard hairs grow evenly, you will quickly end up with a tangle of hairs of different lengths growing in all directions. Therefore, you should regularly trim the facial hair to the same length.

A barber can also give you the perfect contours. Clean lines on the chin and cheeks, and a professionally trimmed upper lip beard.

Once you have the basic structure, you can let your beard grow for an additional one to two weeks.

3. Even a Hipster Beard Needs Trimming

Next comes the phase that makes it time-consuming for you. Make sure that the beard retains its shape and regularly trim all contours neatly and precisely. Ideally, every few days. This works best with a beard trimmer.

3 Tips for Caring for Your Hipster Beard

Finally, a Hipster Beard also needs proper care.

1. Use regularly beard shampoo or beard soap. It cleans your beard hair gently without drying out the skin and hair.
   
   
2. Use beard oil, ideally daily! This keeps the hair supple and helps avoid skin irritation and itching under the beard.
   
   
3. Additionally, shape the beard with beard balm, for example with beard balm. This prevents individual hairs from standing out in all directions. Especially your upper lip beard should be stabilized or even styled – a mustache or twirled beard adds a nice touch!

With our beard products, you can care for your beard at any time.

This helps prevent itching and keeps your beard looking well-groomed at all times.
