Or are the beards not a defining part of the style examples above?
Hello,
We are aware that most of the images in the article depict men with beards. However, the hairstyles can easily work without the beard, if you are not a fan of facial hair. Indeed, this is a very fashionable trend that will carry on into 2018.
Happy holidays!
I love the pics with the full beards! I have a full beard and it helps me to see what a cut with a full beard looks like. First time I’ve seen a sight with so many full beard/ hair styles,thank you.
It was our pleasure and we’re really glad you liked them! 😀
Maybe by 2019 some of these hair styles will have added 1/2″ per month as mine has and is now mid back length. Much more versatile such as bun for business, braid for weekend adventures or just blowing in the wind for a relaxing weekend. I’m 60 years with no intentions of going shorter.
O.K.! I suppose I’m just going to be OUT of style!! None of these cuts appeal to my woman or me?
Fair enough Mr. Boone – but what DO you like? Google it a bit, let us know – maybe we’ll update our selection… 🤨
Hello Jeffery, the hairstyles you have mentioned in your blog are superb! These hairstyles will definitely give stylish and glamorous look to older men. Thanks and keep sharing.
Thank you very much, I’m glad you like the hairstyles I picked for this article and I’m planning on finding and sharing many other great hairstyles and articles. 😀
How about posting articles of guys with a full hair on top that’s completely silver and also the beard older than 67 going into thier 70tys
Hello Juan,
We’ll be doing just that in an article specially dedicated to seniors – men well into their 60s and 70s. This article was more targeted towards men in their 40s and 50s going on to their 60s. But we can’t promise that all the men in the new article will have a full head of hair – not all of us are that lucky.
My hair is very fine and quite thin in the back. Which of the 53 haircuts in Pinterest will be most appropriate for me?
What is it with all the beards. Come on sheeple, stop following each other.
Considering that a full beard has the effect of counter balancing anything that is done on top, almost of the images hear are not of any use to those of us who won’t be wearing a full beard. No, very few of the styles above would look good without a massive counterbalancing from the full beard.
Some of the hairstyles were nice, but every single person has a big ass, big long honky, shaker style caveman style, Alaskan backwoods, Bohemian, log splitter beard!
In 18-in beard, that’s 6 in thick, all by itself says something. So I guess the message are trying to send is, if you add a beard, then most haircuts will look good.
There’s no versatility, none of those hairstyles showed a guy without a beard.
It could have been my mistake, I didn’t realize this was a beard magazine, born article about bushy beards.
This may not be what you’re looking for. But so many hairstyles are what I call cookie cutter. I can’t find anyone that wants to cut medium length hair without cutting it to close. How do I find someone that wants to cut my hair the way I want it.
