Conquer Patchy Beards: Find Your Perfect Style

To be on the same page, Patchy Beard Styles are not some scientifically formulated looks that makes you appear like a Greek God in no time. But these will sure as hell help you create a style that suits YOU. Understand, any beard looks best only if it complements your style. And if a patch is something you’ve got right now, you go for a patchy beard style.

You can deal with a bald spot on your face in 2 ways:
1) The first is to go for a style that embraces the patch.
2) Or else, avoid a style that includes that spot all together.

This blog is not for you if the first option is what you choose. On the other hand, if you’re someone who embodies perfectionism in your personality & thus considers the second option to be a wise choice for you, we’ve got some options for you.

You might have a patch on your cheeks, chin or your neck. We’ve segregated the styles in 3 sections, each catering to the aforementioned areas. So, Explore, Experiment, Evolve.

Styles for Patchy Beard on Cheeks

The best way to cover up for a patch (patches) on your cheeks is to remove all the focus from your cheeks. Go for the styles which put more emphasis on your chin, moustache, or even your jawline.

Depicted below are some of such patchy beard styles:

Fre, Anchor, Balbo, circle, Van Dyke

French Beard – A French beard is a facial hairstyle featuring a groomed moustache connected to chin hair, with clean-shaven cheeks or jawline.
Styled by Brad Pitt.

Anchor – The Anchor style consists of a pointed chin beard combined with a trimmed moustache, resembling a ship’s anchor.
Styled by RDJ (Iron-Man)

Balbo – The Balbo beard is a style characterised by a trimmed, disconnected moustache and no sideburns.
Styled by the best Batman, Christian Bale.

Circle – The circle beard gets its name from the circular shape formed by a connected moustache and chin hair. This style also excludes cheek hair.
Styled by Bryan Cranston (Heisenberg).

Van Dyke – A style of disconnected bold moustache + chin hair.
Styled by the infamous James Bond, pierce Brosnan.

Although, if fuller look is something you’re really want, try to focus more on your chin or moustache area by allocating more hair density. What this will do is automatically cover up your patches and put lights on the more bolder parts of your beard.

Styles for Patchy Beard on Neck

To cover up a patch (patches) on your neck you can go for all the patchy beard styles depicted in the above section.

Although there is one unique style apart from the aforementioned styles. To cover up for your patch on the neck, you can go for a chin strap beard style. It’s basically a neatly trimmed thin stubble traced across your jawline. And if you have a strong jawline game, this can work for you even better than you imagined.

And one more feature of this style is that it not only takes care of your patch, but also distinguishes you from the herd.

Styles for Patchy Beard on Chin

A patch on the chin is not common. And for this rare trait you possess, the solution is also unique. We got two intimidating styles to do the talking for you.

Mutton Chops – The time-honoured Mutton Chops features long sideburns, optionally with a connected moustache with a clean or neatly trimmed chin.

Horseshoe – This style resembles an inverted U shape, formed by the extended moustache. The horseshoe beard style is most famously styled by the WWE champ Hulk Hogan.

These distinguished styles, as you can see, can intimidate people without you having to speak a word. With a good trimmer by your side, you can flaunt these styles properly and command authority, naturally.

Depending on what the underlying cause of your patch is, we can categorise it as permanent or temporary.
