Teenage boys often think that fashion is limited to clothes and accessories. But that isn’t correct because fashion is all about expressing one’s self. Boys need to express their inner style and personalities through their hairstyles and beard styles. You may think that beards can’t be fashionable, but they sure can be. This is why we have made a list of the 25 new beard styles that are trending these days.

Best Facial Hair Styles for Teens
Here are some tips to help you grow the beard you want:
- Ensure that you keep your skin clean and exfoliate regularly to avoid any breakouts during your beard growth.
- Use warm water to wash your face as it helps with the growth of hair.
- Use beard oils and have a good diet. If that seems difficult, you can always opt for supplements that help with beard or hair growth such as Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and biotins.
- Use moisturizing creams and beard oils to ensure that the hair that grows is of good quality.
- Get the right amount of sleep and minimize stress.
- Exercise regularly as this helps with the production of testosterone, hence boosting the growth of beard.
- Avoid shaving, trimming or cutting of any sort for at least three to four weeks. This will allow you to assess the beard and decide which styles you can experiment with.

Now let’s move on and go through some of the best facial hairstyle types that you can try this year.
↓ 25. Italian Style
With over 7 Million followers on Instagram, Cameron Boyce is a youth favourite. He is a powerhouse of talent and is much loved by his fans. Often celebrity’ beauty and fashion styles become trends for their fans to follow. If you are a huge fan of Cameron and want to replicate his style, going for his beard seems like a great idea. Being a teenager, his beard may not be full-fledged, yet it has a very cool and different look to it. His light moustache and beard give a very Italian look to it, different from what people would typically go for. If you have a hair growth similar to that of Cameron’s, going for a similar look can be great.
↓ 24. Naturally Grown Hair
While most guys get their beard really early, some often struggle to get theirs. However, sooner or later, the beard grows up. If you are one of those that struggle, you must be aware of how much time it takes to grow to the right length. In such a case, a great idea would be to keep it natural to allow the beard to get to a certain length before it can be styled in a number of ways. The natural look of the beard also helps guys look young which can work as a plus point for many. The short, natural look can also be very easy to manage, saving you the cost of expensive beard products.
↓ 23. Short Stubble
With enough proof around us, we are sure that boys these days are going for a bearded look whether light or heavy to impress the girls around them. With a number of styles to choose from, the one that we absolutely love is the light stubble that gives a very natural and neat look. Since teenage years are when the beard starts to finally grow, it is best to keep the look natural, youthful and clean. If you are confused between clean shave and beard, the best way to judge is to go for a lighter look to see which one suits you best. What is best about this look is that it helps you get used to how to maintain and grow the beard. A growing stubble ends up being very itchy and irritating at times. With a simple look like this, it will be easier for you to learn how to live with it.
↓ 22. Zayn Malik Inspired Beard
Zayn Malik is one of the most popular youth icons, famous not only for his body of work but also the trends that he sets in the fashion and the beauty world. All teenagers that look up to him often try to replicate his style. While we still were not over his electrifying hair and quirky clothes, we bring you his uber cool beard look. The beard is the right length as it is neither too light nor too heavy. To ensure a youthful yet mature look, beards help the most. Most boys look younger than their age without it and older with the bearded look. If you are digging the mature bearded look, you could totally go for Zayn Malik inspired beard. However, growing for a longer length gets difficult to maintain so make sure to use products like beard oils and creams to keep it looking sleek.
↓ 21. Dress to Kill
Need to impress your boss or your teacher? Rub balm through your hair and keep a rugged yet neat shave. Perfect style for Caucasian or white teens. Brown hair looks attractive on almost all guys especially when your beard is also of a light color. The benefit that you get having a light colored beard is that the fuzz does not look as prominent and weird. If you have a messy mop of hair and need something that helps you look cool and up-to-date with fashion and beauty trends, going for a very short stubble can look great.
Teens: Facial hair design
↓ 20. For College Boys
For a rockstar beard look, keep it rough and curly. Similarly, keep your hair red and curly – no need to comb it! Looks good on all college going guys. The more you keep your hair messy, the better young guys look. As far as the beard is concerned, then messy beard also looks very attractive no matter what your age is or you can go for a light beard as well. Keep the beard a little thick around your jaw area but keeping it thin towards your cheeks.
↓ 19. Chinese or Korean Beard Style
For Asian young boys, the best beard look is to keep the hair only on the jawline. Keep a slight mustache and let your hair grow long. Chinese guys of all the ages are known because of their distinguished hairstyles. They usually opt for long hair, but above their neck area. And with a touch of hair, their beard is always minimum, they concentrate their beard around their jaw line but keeping the very thin line of hair a mustache. This beard style is messy but well managed at the same time.
↓ 18. Weary But Cool Look
For a bohemian look, boys can grow their beard long and bushy. For this, you will also need to stop cutting your mustache but keep the rest of the face clean-shaven.
↓ 17. Preppy Boy Look
For preppy high school teenage kids, let your peach fuzz grow around the jaw and neck. This beard style works best with medium length and messy hairstyle. Boys with a light texture of hair can easily go for this beard style as it looks neat and tamed. However, if your hair texture and style is curly and frizzy, you may want to skip this look. A curly or messy style beard would only look untamed unless styled with beard gel and wax. If you do have access to good hair products and style yours with them then the beard would definitely look sleek and cool. However, make sure to also hydrate your beard with oils after using chemicals on it.
Teens:
Here is another example of the peppy boy look. Go for a youthful and natural look with this beard styled. Not only will it be easier to manage but will also give you a cool boy vibe. The mustache and beard, despite not being too long, look appropriate and do not give a weird appearance.
↓ 16. Messy Look
↓ 15. Light Beard Without Moustache
For a relaxed teenage hair look, rub pomade through your facial hair and keep it slick. Most teens start getting growth of hair around the chin or jaw before the mustache growth starts. This is why it’s much easier to choose to grow a beard without a mustache as this style looks really laid back and age-appropriate.
↓ 14. South Asian Beard Look for Round Face
Pakistani and Indian guys love a thick, rugged, bearded look. Let your mane grow long and healthy boys! This look is especially for men with fast hair growth who avoid shaving quite often. Leaving your beard to grow longer can not only be healthy for the skin but can also help make you look handsome. Make sure to trim it every few days and use products like the beard scrub to keep it feeling healthy and clean.
↓ 13. Sporty Boy Style
For those young fellows who are into various sports, this style is perfect for them. Short facial hairs look perfect with short hairs.
Teens:
↓ 12. Latino Guy Look
For facial ideas for Mexican, Spanish, Brazilian or Latino men – keep it an extremely close shave. Only leave the stubble on the far edge of your cheeks for a sexy style. You can also go for a french beard like stubble as shown in the picture below.
↓ 11. Beards and Caps
They sure do look great together. Do have a look at these 25 Ways to Wear Hair with Snapback Caps.
↓ 10. Ideas for Patchy Beard
Growing a full beard can be pretty tiresome, especially so for younger boys. But worry not because even a patchy beard can look awesome if styled the right way.
- The first tip, of course, would be to embrace it. Even though it can seem problematic, a patchy beard can be the hottest type of beard if you decide to truly embrace it and carry it with confidence.
- You can choose to go for a thin strap beard instead of a full one as this makes the beard seem much less patchy.
- The other option is to combine this thin strap with a goatee.
- Or you can simply go for a small chin beard and it is usually one of the best options for guys with extremely patchy beards.
- And if you’re not too fond of your patchy beard, you can check out this amazing guide on How to Fix Patchy Beard with 7 Top Tips to fix Patchy Facial Hair.
↓ 9. Patchy Beard and Rough Hairstyle
Here’s another super-sexy style to try with your patchy beard. Get your beard growing freely for No Shave Movember. You can then give your patch different looks and styles once it has reached the appropriate length. You can also let it as is for a rugged look that is often admired by many.
↓ 8. For Square Face
Though he isn’t really a teenager, Ian Somerhalder is surely a darling for all girls out there. And his beard styles are truly inspirational for all teenagers out there. The best way to complement a square jawline is to make the chin area more triangular or rounded. This can be achieved with a goatee-style beard which will make your face appear more elongated and in this way, it’ll allow the other features of your face to shine such as those deep eyes!
↓ 7. Light Beard with Moustache and Side Burns
If your style game isn’t very strong, go for a beard style that enhances your look, for example, pairing your beard with sideburns. For most teens, sideburns grow at a pretty good pace, allowing them to combine with the mustache for a hot look.
Teens:
↓ 6. The Really Cute Light Beard Look
↓ 5. For Oval Faces
The most common face shape among guys is the oval shape which is slightly long and round at both the top and bottom. The good thing about having this face shape is that it’s pretty much symmetrical so you can rock almost any beard styles. Our favourite styles for this shape will be the circular beard, short boxed beard or a well-trimmed full beard.
↓ 4. For Heart Shaped Face
A heart-shaped face is one that has a wider forehead and it narrows towards the chin, just like a heart, duh! This face shape can sound dull but it is definitely one of the hottest, we all remember how awesome Nick Jonas used to look like a teen and of course he has a heart-shaped face. Since the chin or jawline in this face shape is not very prominent, you can use a beard to your advantage. There are many different chin beard styles that you can try such as the chin strap or the inverted T. For this year, we would highly recommend that you try out the Van Dyke moustache-beard combo as it looks great on a heart-shaped face. Complete the look with aviator frames and you’re all set to have the best day.
↓ 3. Celebrity Style
This beard matched with the asymmetrical hair-cut really helps bring out the best features of a boy’s face. If you have been blessed with a sharp jawline, why would you need an excuse to flaunt it? Go for a stubble look that makes your jawline look prominent.
↓ 2. Stubble Styles with Short Hair
With a stubble beard, you can opt for completely chopped hair as they help bring out the focus towards your eyes and lips. The stubble look is ideal for a rugged and handsome look. And remember that just like any other beard style, you need to maintain a stubble beard too.
Indeed some great styles you proposed, but it could be a bit difficult for some younger teens to adopt most since they still can’t grow the thick beard that would go with these styles

You seem to be uneasy with the word “men” and at ease with “boys.” In a discussion of beards, it seems silly to not acknowledge that men grow beard on our faces, not ” preppy high school teenage kids,” In other discussions of different topics, It might well be appropriate to speak of speak of these men as “high school boys.” And, of course your models look to be over 20.
