85 Best Hairstyles for Men With Beards (2026 Guide to Haircuts + Beard Styles)

If you have a longer beard, you can pair it with a longer hairstyle to create a bold, striking look. This particular style features a long side swept overhang that reaches all the way down to the mustache area.

Beard slits are getting so common but it needs more attention than you think. The beard grows thicker towards the bottom leaving the sides a little thinner so that the cheeks don’t look fluffier. Plus, the hair is also very fancy with that slant temple and a thin pompadour makes it a perfect boogie style.

Balancing the face is one of the priorities one should consider while styling. Here we see the brush up is quite dense and so is the beard. being sheer opposite it balances the face perfectly with the side being tapered and a neat beard blend makes it perfect.

If you’ve ever taken a glance at a Haircut Inspiration article, you’ve probably seen the undercut pop up. It’s one of those classic styles that goes with almost everything, and unsurprisingly, it’s one of the best hairstyles for men with beards. The length of your undercut and the length of your beard should be the same. If you get a #3 clipper on the sides and back of your hair, then trim your beard with a #3. This creates an even, balanced look. The beard continues the undercut’s trim and creates unison between the beard and cut. Also consider how a fade will affect this pairing. If your beard naturally stops all of a sudden in a certain spot, getting a fade might clash with this. On the other hand, if your facial hair gradually tapers, a fade will match this. Of course, you can choose either––it’s all about how you shave.

If you like adventurous haircuts and gnarly beards, this is the hairstyle for you. Of all the hairstyles for men with beards featured here, this one is by far the most daring. It’s a long, asymmetrical cut that’s well balanced by a bigger beard. In this style, all of the hair flows together, and both the hair and the beard are focal points. While this isn’t the best hairstyle for the office, it’s one of the most attention-grabbing hairstyles for men with beards.

However, it requires a good cut and some serious styling. Typically, the side swept style is paired with an undercut. We included the side swept undercut in our guide to the undercut, so check that out if you’re interested in the style.

Just like the undercut, the side part is one of the most classic hairstyles for men with beards. This is ideal if you’re looking for a cut that works in a variety of situations. Whether formal or casual, a side part and beard combo will serve you well. This style combines the dapper slickness of a side part with the ruggedness of a beard. Any beard size will work here; even stubble or a five o’clock shadow will accent and complement the part. And the side part affords you a benefit that most of the other hairstyles don’t. If you want to go completely clean-shaven with a side part, you can without ruining the style. Styles like the side swept undercut don’t look their best with a smooth face.

The side part is one of the most versatile men’s hairstyles, so it comes as no surprise that it works extremely well with beards. It doesn’t take much work, either––as shown here, a basic combed part can work wonders.

If your beard has a coarser texture, why not sport a more textured hairstyle? This long haircut allows the rough texture of the hair to shine, creating lots of motion.

A neatly trimmed beard and a neatly trimmed haircut are a perfect pairing. The French crop is an especially great option for this look.

Retro styles are still as popular as ever. This slicked back cut pays homage to the greaser look of the fifties, with the beard rounding out the style.

Many guys with longer beards opt for shorter hair in order to showcase their ample facial hair, and this short, wavy style does just that.

A tall quiff is a great match for a lengthy beard. This particular brushed back style uses finger combing to create waviness in the hair.

After a fun, slightly punky look? This hybrid haircut uses a casual faux hawk and a neat undercut to create a style that’s a little bit rebellious and a little bit reserved.

Here’s a great look for men with thinner hair. The hair is grown out and brushed back, making the hair look thicker than it is, and the beard further enhances that illusion.

Just have a look at this thick, dense, and beard with high volume. The beard as it progresses towards the lower face gets even thicker pulling all the balance for the french crop above. The French Crop is quite neat but the fade on the sides is what compliments the beard perfectly.

We see this one is highly inspired by Drake, with that hair texture especially. The beard very seamlessly starts from the temple and that temple fade just makes this easy. Plus the mustache is thinned for that specific Drake look whilst the hair is low faded brush-up.

Who said only hairstyles can have longer hair strands? Check this beard out with longer and thicker hair strands. These hairs get that straight texture from combing regularly with that heat comb. The mustache is no different with longer hair laid all the way down.

We often see a low fade or a temple fade in order to start a beard but this is something different. The equal volume taper on the sides with the same volume for the beard makes it one unified body. Now, the beard grows the hair length as we continue going down. This is an example of a nice long beard towards the chin.

Rough scuff is what they call it, and this one is done quite well. it is blended via temple with the help of sides having similar volume. Another reason this looks one whole look is there is no obvious side part with the top having short curls and the hair texture, which is quite thick.

This one has to do with the shape of the face, having a long face structure a thick beard with full texture makes it look very mature. That topped with semi curled quiff on top with a thick texture is something that makes you stand out pretty easily. Rock on a suit then see the magic happen.

Lately, those upright slit shave near goatee have been getting more and more popular just like those slant shave at the temple have been getting as trendy as a style could get. This beard being thicker than the hair pulls weight towards the jaw and makes hair look very calm and laid back, I mean who doesn’t like that?

Now that’s what we call a very well kept and maintained hairstyle with an afro curled brush up top and beard being thick enough yet tapered on the cheeks to pull the length towards the cheeks just as the hairstyle. Remember to have sides taper faded just enough to blend it well.

Let’s call this one the one with massively good volume, the hair strands on top and on the beard are just perfectly thick and the growth tells it all that they are maintained. Having volume on top and bottom is what makes this one a great style, and the rule of thumb is again the same, blend the sides just enough to charm.

Let’s be honest we all were waiting for a cheeky top knot with a scattered beard. Here it is, the sides are pocky hair stranded with more thickness towards the mustache and chin strap beard. That being said, the top is similar with all the attention to the top knot, making this a very center face based style.

By now I think you know the formula, balance the length and the volume on the top and in the bottom. This is no different, the longer texture on top is slightly curled with the beard having longer strands as well. The density overall is similar to the top being dyed to a silver shade.

Is it just me or you also see two brush-ups? One is on the forehead and the other one is right at the chin with that long beard hair. The density or volume overall is so dense that it makes it look all rugged. The trick here is to have a blend at the temple with thick volume, no fade, no taper, just rugged volume.

This reminds me of Chris Hemsworth’s style with that Thor: Ragnarok look. The top is slightly tamed to brush up with a faux tinge. The sides are tapered just enough to blend the beard and then as we go down the density increases massively. The thickness is what counts in this style.

Dye, a fluffy pompadour, tapered sides with shaved fade and a temple faded blend beard. This beard is quite versatile so that one can hide the tennis patches and have a dense goatee with that texture so more focus is distributed on the fancy top and the fancy beard.

Tossed hair with short length reminds me of Chris Hemsworth and this style in specific is a lot like him. A thick beard brushed up tossed top with all blonde look is just that perfect touch. The sides are tapered and see there is no undercut for that one wholesome look.

Can any other hairstyle be as balanced as this one? The top is slicked back with a very straight strand. The sides are thin side-parted with tapered sides for more attention to the top. The beard is what balances the look and makes it a dense one.

Is this the definition of being classy? Yes, you bet it is. The hair is quite thin yet it ties all the way with some strands falling down. The beard is quite overgrown here which adds up to the volume of it. The light tapering is what helps it blend it with the hair.

One of the quite balanced looks we have seen in a while. The top is slicked back nut has a slight fluff. The top is thin-haired hence it is easy to push it back. The sides are undercut tapered with that thick. the beard that balances the face quite well.

Stubble is one step towards that clean yet rough look. That being said, the top is thick and has fluffy curls, along with the stubble that makes things so much neat. The sides are slightly tapered but still have the volume.

Did someone say 100% rugged look? Yes, plus the trendy outlook. The beard is ginger and thick enough to balance the top. The top is side-swept but not your usual one, it is a hard parted undercut with a cheeky skin fade.

Is this the manliest look so far? Maybe! The balance on this one is insanely good. The top is long-haired pompadour with sides being all tapered and faded. All of that, with the beard being all long and maintained gives a very tough and rugged look.

First things first, the balance of this look is amazing. That being said, the top is fluffed slicked back with tapered sides, and in the end a neat temple fade. The beard here plays a huge role in making the hairline go unnoticed.

Beards always bring out the best of a look if the top compliments it. Here that’s the whole story. The top is brushed up with volume kept intact, the sides are taper faded with a slit shave to look very dope. The beard is the mirror image of the top.

Buzz Cut always goes well with a thick beard, it gives a very tough military outlook. All of that, plus the twin slit shave makes everything ten times better. The sweet mid-fade makes the sides very sleek.

If you look closely the concentration around jaws and on the top is quite neat. The sides are tapered while the temple is faded neatly. The beard also has a slit shave that only makes this slightly better, can anyone go wrong with this look? Nope

Thickness is the trend and here we are witnessing it in its all-mighty form. The beard is just as thick as the top and the best part is that the top is tossed for that neat casual look.

What should we talk about first? Beard is as rugged as the top with the top being dyed and brushed up with semi mohawk texture, does it even get any better? Have sides faded for the beard to make a neat entry.

If we had an award for a neat and balanced look, this would make a strong contender. Low fade here plays an important role in making that beard-to hairstyle connection, the top is a brushed-up pompadour with a slight taper on sides.

Everything about this look is marvelous. The top is layered perfectly with a tinge of side sweep with sides being slightly tapered and the beard is just imitating the top with its thick density.

It is all about the contrast that the top has with the beard. The beard is long and grizzly makes the hair pop which is its opposite. The side brushed pocky textured top makes up for a great combination with that neat high fade and a temple fade.

Top here is quite neat with its angular fringe and a mini french crop is just. A cool touch to the whole look. The sides are taper faded with that cheeky low temple fade that makes beard blend in quite easily with that thick beard everything seems balanced.

Casually side brushed the top with tapered sides but the best of all quite dense in its volume. The top is slightly longer than the sides as it is side swept and then left to hang on the side. The temple is blended into a thick beard for maximum uniformity.

If you think you look best with a beard, this is a look for you. Favoring naturally wavy hair types, the top is kept medium length and free to do as it wants. For this gentleman, that means it looks naturally wavy and a touch messy, but it’s reined in by the clean medium fade that leaves just enough stubble to connect to the beard. This accentuates the cleanly curved linework of the beard as part of the overall style. Yeah, your beard should be in a magazine, so go show ’em.

This is perhaps the most obvious pairing on the list, since the man bun was probably designed to go with a beard. The beard balances out the bun and adds a nice contrast. The hair on the head is in a small bun at the back, and the beard allows the head to be unified as a whole. The same goes for a top knot. The man bun and top knot also work well with all kinds of beards. Here, stubble is probably the beard style that won’t work that well. A mid-sized beard will probably do the trick. That’s about 4 to 6 weeks of growth, depending on how fast your facial hair grows. This is also often the type worn by most guys who aren’t going for the clean-shaven or lumberjack looks. It’s right in the middle.

Pairing a beard with messy hair also might seem like a no-brainer. For decades, the beard has been the emblem of the devil-may-care look, and the pairing of shaggy hair and a beard is arguably the epitome of this style. It exudes a certain confidence and even rebelliousness that some guys aim for. As the name of the style might suggest, it’s perfectly okay to have a slightly uneven or scruffy-looking beard. This means you don’t have to regularly trim your beard for evenness. If it gets too out of control, a quick trim is a good idea, but otherwise, messy is fine and adds to the carefree appearance. If you can’t grow a full beard, fear not––you can wear this style with some stubble. The lightness of the beard will add another level of scruffiness to the overall look. A shag hairstyle or a tousled look is ideal for a cut here. Layers can also help bring out volume in your hair to complement your messy beard. This is one of the few hairstyles for men with beards that looks good with minimal styling and maintenance.

This one’s slightly tougher to pull off but only because of the styling involved. If you’re up for the challenge of creating a great quiff, then pair it with a beard for ultimate style. The volume of the quiff is best balanced out with a smaller to medium-sized beard.

This creates visual contrast and doesn’t detract from the quiff as the focal point of your hair. The beard simply makes everything even; it’s not the point of attention here. A trimmed, even beard looks the best with a nice, stylish quiff.

When all the hair is in place, you get a wonderfully classy look. This is a nice choice for men who can’t naturally grow a lot of facial hair, since a shorter beard is recommended.

For a classy, professional appearance, match a well-groomed beard with a slicked-back haircut. This simple combination is elegant, timeless, and low maintenance.
