13 Facial Hair Styles - A Puddles and Paddles Collaboration
Redfox70 found the pictures for me and helped with the research. Thanks!
There are numerous types and subtypes of beards and moustaches. In choosing my thirteen, I picked those that were distinct on the basis of where the hair is grown rather than variations in length and other styling details. I also focused on styles for which I had good photos. The pictures may reflect only one of several ways to grow a particular style.
There were some discrepancies in the definitions, so don’t hold me to these. In my research, I also learned that “beard” is a slang term for a woman who goes to a social event with a gay man to help him give the appearance of being straight.

13 Styles
1. Copstash Standard - A typical mustache as worn by police and military personnel. The mustache does not extend downward past the upper lip.
2. Chinstrap –long sideburns that comes forward and ends under the chin. Limited to a narrow area along the jaw line.
3. Chin curtain - (also called a Donegal or Lincoln) grows along the jaw line and covers the chin completely. This is not to be confused with the chinstrap beard—a style of beard that also grows along the jaw line, although does not fully cover the man's chin, nor does the man have hair on his upper lip. (Not to be confused with the Amish version of the beard called the old dutch) This style of facial hair was made famous by Abraham Lincoln, as well as others.
4. Horseshoe moustache is a full moustache with vertical extensions grown on the corners of the lips and down the sides of the mouth to the jawline, resembling an upside-down U or a horseshoe.
5. Mutton chops - Sideburns that extend all the way down to an imaginary lines drawn downward from the corners of the mouth.
6. Friendly Mutton Chops – long mutton chop type sideburns connected to a mustache, but with a shaved chin.
7. Full beard – all facial areas that grow hair, from sideburns to chin, including a mustache. Generally does not include the neck.
8. Goatee - only on the chin, starting below the lower lip, and usually not wider than the mouth. It can be a small tuft of hair or more extensive. The soul patch, sometimes considered a variant, is usually shorter, not all the way down to the chin edge. A Junco is a goatee which extends upward and connects to the corners of the mouth. The next two are sometimes called goatees, but I’m counting them as distinct styles.
9. Balbo - A wide version of the goatee accompanied by an unconnected mustache. Sometimes this variation is called the Van Dyke, but most definitions agree that the connected style is the Van Dyke and the connected one is the Balbo.
10. Van Dyke – A goatee connected to a moustache. This term sometimes includes both presence and absence of hair connecting the two, but it usually refers to the connected version (see Balbo).
11. The Klingon - A full beard where the upper lip is shaved clean, but the connectors from the beard to the mustache are left intact. Popularized by Klingon characters from the Star Trek series.
12. Soul patch – a small beard just below the lower lip and above the chin. Other names are imperial and mouche.
13. The Zappa - A full mustache that extends slightly downward past the corners of the mouth, combined with a soul patch. Popularized by musician, Frank Zappa.
