Beard styles for bald men
Whether you’ve decided to shave your head or your hair has retreated of its own accord, it can look awesome to combine being bald with beard styles. But exactly what style of facial hair should you choose? Get inspired by a range of impressive beards for bald men and sport a shaved head with stubble or go all out as a proud bald man with goatee.
Why do men lose hair as they get older?
You might choose to rock a deliberately shaved head with your beard, but what if baldness isn’t your choice? Male pattern baldness is the most common cause of hair loss. It’s usually genetic and is down to male hormones causing hair follicles to shrink. Eventually, the hairs on your head don’t grow long enough to reach the surface of the skin. Around 50 per cent of 50-year-old men and 30 per cent of 30-year-old men have significant balding1, so you’re certainly not alone if your hairline is retreating and you find yourself searching for the best beard styles for bald heads.
What are the best beards for bald men?
Truth be told, when you’re bald you can master any chin beard, no matter what length or shape. It’s all about having the confidence to own your unique style – and having the right styling tools to make it look as suave as possible. So, take the following styles as a starting point for inspiration and experiment to find what works best for you. With the hybrid Philips OneBlade you can trim, edge and shave any length of hair with one handy, versatile tool, so you can perfect any of the following bald head beard styles with ease.
Option 1: Be the bald man with a goatee
A goatee draws attention right down to the point of your chin and is one of the best beard styles for bald headed men who are looking for an easy option. That’s because this look grows fast, and it’s simple to style a goatee – just use your OneBlade to keep the edges neat, and your neck, cheeks, and upper lip free from hair.
Option 2: Rock a bald or shaved head with stubble
Looking for a classic balding buzz cut with beard combination? Match the short hair on your head with short facial hair. But remember, there’s a difference between ‘can’t-be-bothered-to-shave stubble’ and ‘sophisticated stubble’, and it’s all down to maintenance. With the OneBlade’s stubble combs it’s easy to trim to your preferred length, whether that’s a 1mm 5 o’clock shadow, a 3mm tight trim, or a 5mm long stubble look.
