Other ways to narrow it down

Short beard styles

Under an inch. Office safe, quick to trim, slow to go wrong.

Medium beard styles

One to three inches. The point where shaping starts to matter.

Long beard styles

Three inches and up. Months of growing, and daily oil.

Beard styles for round faces

Length at the chin, kept tight at the cheeks, to lengthen the face.

Beard styles for square faces

Softer, rounder edges so the jaw is not doubled up.

Beard styles for oval faces

The shape most styles are drawn for. Nearly anything works.
