This Infographic Gives Tips for the Best Beard for Your Face Type

This infographic explains what the best beard for you is based on your face shape. Created by Mashable with intel from Craig the Barber, 'The Best Beard For Your Face' will be especially helpful for hipsters.

According to the chart, the ideal face shape for men is either oval or square. Using your facial hair, you can groom yourself to give the appearance you have a different face structure to adhere to this standard. The infographic also offers grooming tips for those who were born with these ideal shapes. But for those with no chin or rectangular face, they offer more specific advice. On the other hand, if you have a small face it is suggested you say clean shaven all together.
