The Goatee Guide: Care & Style your Goatee ✓

Here's the translated text in English:

The goatee - also known as a chin beard or goatee - is a particularly distinctive and characterful beard style. It makes your face appear longer and narrower and is therefore well-suited for round, short, or fuller faces. In recent years, it has become particularly trendy among younger men.

How to Grow a Goatee - Here’s How

If you want to grow a goatee or chin beard, it unfortunately only works through the path of a full beard. In other words, you need to bring a dose of time and patience to the process.

Only after you have a full beard can you take the “back” route to the goatee and achieve a well-groomed result with clean lines.

For this, you shave off all beard hair outside the chin area. How exactly it should look is up to your personal style.

Maintaining and Styling a Goatee - What to Keep in Mind

Shaving a goatee is more involved than you might think. A precise shave and clean edges are a must.

• Neck,
• cheeks
• and the area between the mouth and upper lip should be carefully shaved.

There should be no mustache or unwanted beard growth left behind. To prevent this, our shaving products from Störtebekker can assist you.

If you want to trim your goatee to a point, the best tool for this is a beard scissors. Use it to trim faster-growing hairs so that the beard hair remains at an even length.

For optimal beard care, use a beard shampoo or a beard soap two to three times a week (check out Störtebekker, we have a very high-quality option).

If you have stubborn, wiry beard hairs, you can also use a conditioner. This will make it easier to comb your beard with a beard comb daily. A disheveled or tangled goatee does not look good.

For additional care, use beard oil and for styling afterward, use beard pomade to shape your beard into the desired style.

What Variants of the Goatee Are There?

The goatee comes in different styles. We want to introduce you to the most visually impactful ones here.

1. The Goatee with Mustache

If you combine the goatee beard style with a mustache, it gives your face maximum edges and contours and looks much more masculine.

This combination is an uncomplicated compromise to the full beard and is perfect if your hair growth is insufficient for a full beard or if you have gaps in your beard in the cheek area.

2. The Long Chin Beard

If you wear the goatee long, you make a special statement. Your face looks significantly longer and narrower and you appear more charismatic. Long goatees are often worn with a braided ponytail and look striking with bald heads.

3. The Short Chin Beard

A short chin beard is ideal for those who want to make their face look a bit more pronounced. Even if your beard growth leaves something to be desired, the short chin beard is a good choice. It frames your face. Especially elongated face shapes benefit from it and appear more compact with a short chin beard.
