Lange war der Ducktail Bart ein edler Klassiker unter den eher reiferen Männern. Er wirkt gepflegt, männlich und strahlt Reife und Erfahrung aus. Seit einigen Jahren wird der Bart Style auch bei jüngeren Männern immer beliebter.

Der Ducktail-Bart kann dabei kurz oder lang getragen werden. Wer ein eher rundes Gesicht hat, bekommt durch einen Ducktail-Bart mehr Kanten und markante Züge.

The Ducktail Beard and Its Characteristics

The Ducktail beard is a type of full beard. What characterizes it is that it tapers to a point towards the chin. It also got its name from its distinctive shape—sometimes the appearance resembles a duck's tail, hence the English term Ducktail.

Ducktail beard wearers are usually perceived as

  • older,
  • more mature,
  • and more intelligent.

Your Path to a Ducktail Beard

If you want to grow a Ducktail, you'll need some patience, depending on how fast your beard grows.

A strong and dense beard growth is essential. With rather thin beard hair or noticeable gaps in the beard, including on the cheeks, achieving the look will be challenging.

Special beard products from our shop can assist you in beard care.

First of all, you don't have to do much:

  1. Let your beard grow until it reaches a noticeable base length.

  2. Once that's the case, you can start with the cut. Decide whether you want the Ducktail to be long or short.

  3. For a perfect appearance, it's advisable to have the basic shape of the Ducktail cut and trimmed by a professional. Afterward, you only need to take care of the contour maintenance.

However, this is already quite involved. For a truly well-groomed and precise Ducktail, you should trim the contours daily.

Does the Ducktail Suit Me?

It's best to consider in advance whether the effort is worth it for you and if the Ducktail suits you. The beard style is not for everyone.

  1. If you have a round face shape, you'll benefit from this beard. Your face will appear sharper, longer, and more masculine.

  2. If your face is triangular, the Ducktail is almost calling out to you. The Ducktail fits perfectly with your facial contours and shortens your jawline.

  3. If your face is diamond-shaped, the Ducktail also flatters you and makes your face look more groomed and orderly.

  4. With a long or oval face shape, you should be cautious. The Ducktail can easily accentuate areas that should not be emphasized.

Expert tip: The beard hairstyle alone is only half the job! The right hairstyle completes it. For instance, an undercut and the Ducktail beard make a particularly attractive combination.

Growing the Ducktail Beard

We've mentioned it before: At the beginning of every Ducktail, you need to let it grow!

You will need some patience, as attempting to shape the Ducktail too early can lead to an asymmetrical appearance.

The absolute minimum length is between 3 and 4 cm.

Cutting the Ducktail Beard Yourself

How do you cut a Ducktail beard? To cut and trim a Ducktail beard yourself, you'll need experience. Since the Ducktail beard relies on contours, it's advisable to consult a barber for the initial cut and let the professional handle it. If you trust yourself to cut the Ducktail beard, you'll need a good trimmer and a beard scissor.

  1. First, define the beard style and contours precisely.

  2. Depending on how you want the beard to look in the end, you need to use the trimmer at a higher or flat angle and slowly, step by step, shape the form.

  3. You should know: Removing is not a problem, but adding it back is not possible. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Therefore, proceed with a steady hand.

Style Tip: Ducktail Beard and Bald Head Go Hand in Hand

The Ducktail beard is particularly well-highlighted when combined with a bald head. The V-shape of the beard visually extends the face and contrasts well with the bald head.

We have written an article on how to shave a bald head.

Caring for the Ducktail Beard Properly

To make the Ducktail beard stand out fully, proper care is crucial. You should trim it daily, wash it with a beard shampoo, and style it with beard oil and a beard comb. The beard hair should look shiny and well-groomed. Therefore, use beard oil daily, not just after washing, to avoid split ends and frizz.

At Störtebekker, we have great shaving & beard care sets consisting of beard oil, beard comb, and beard brush.

Your beard should reach a length of around 3 to 4 cm before you can shape it into a Ducktail. Depending on how fast or slow your beard growth is, you should plan for around eight weeks or even more.
