Beard hair is most commonly removed by shaving or by trimming with the use of a [[beard trimmer]]. If only the area above the upper lip is left unshaven, the resulting facial hairstyle is known as a [[moustache|mustache]]; if hair is left only on the chin, the style is a [[goatee]].

* '''Full''': downward flowing beard with either a styled or integrated mustache
* [[Giuseppe Garibaldi|Garibaldi]]: wide, full beard with rounded bottom and integrated mustache
* '''Old Dutch''': A large, long beard, connected by sideburns, that flares outward in width at the bottom, without a mustache.
* [[Sideburns]]: hair grown from the temples down the cheeks toward the jawline. Worn by [[Ambrose Burnside]] (the namesake of the style), [[Isaac Asimov]] and [[Carlos Menem]].
* '''Jawline beard''': A beard that is grown from the chin along the jawline. Chinstrap, [[chin curtain]] and brett are all variations of a jawline beard with distinctions being chin coverage and sideburn length.
* [[Chinstrap beard|Chinstrap]]: a beard with long sideburns that comes forward and ends under the chin.
* [[Chin curtain]]: similar to the chinstrap beard but covers the entire chin. Also called a Lincoln, [[Shenandoah (beard)|Shenandoah]], or spade.
* '''Brett''': similar to the chin curtain beard, but does not connect to the sideburns.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.philips.com/e/male-grooming/how-to/beards/brettbeard.html |title=Brett Beard |publisher=Phillips.com |access-date=4 April 2014}}</ref>
* {{anchor|Neckbeard}}'''Neckbeard''': similar to the chinstrap, but with the chin and jawline shaven, leaving hair to grow only on the neck.

* '''Circle beard''': Commonly mistaken for the goatee, the circle beard is a small chin beard that connects around the mouth to a mustache.
