John Legend — Scruff
“This one- to two-day shadow is relaxed, but John could still put on a crisp white shirt and do a formal interview,” says Acord, who notes that men with oblong faces wear this look best. Once you’ve shaved, massage a conditioning oil or wax into the skin so it stays moisturized and blemish-free.”

Lenny Kravitz — Medium
“Even though Lenny’s look is characterized by defined lines, it also looks natural,” Acord says of the style best-suited for men with rounder face shapes. “To prevent the lines of the beard from looking too sharp, opt for tweezers instead of a razor to tackle stray hairs.”

Jared Leto — Full-On
“It’s like a lion — very masculine and proud,” says Acord of this overgrown style. “It should look lived-in, but never neglected.” To prevent dandruff from ruining the vibe, a hydrating beard shampoo is a must — and like the hair on top of your head, give your beard a trim when it starts to lose its shape.
