How to Get Justin Timberlake’s Beard

Justin Timberlake’s career has taken him to a whole lot of places.

From being that guy with great hair NSYNC to becoming an established singer and songwriter, and all the way to becoming a celebrity actor.

Justin has truly done it all.

He started off his career with frosted tips and a baby face.

He later cut the hair shorter and at one point shaved it all off as well.

Things really started getting interesting when he began growing a beard.

He actually looks really manly with a stubble beard and having facial hair has helped him further step away from that boy band image he was originally known for early on in his career.

Now, Justin has a few facial hair styles that he rocks on various occasions.

If you want to create the same ones, we suggest taking a look at our article below.

We go through some of Justin’s beard phases, talk about how he became famous, and finally tell you how to style a sexy Justin Timberlake beard by yourself.

Justin Timberlake Beard Style

While his beard shape may change, Justin Timberlake consistently rocks the same rough style which doesn’t require much styling with beard trimmers or best beard scissors.

There’s a gentle corner featured at the point of his jaw, framing his face and accentuating his masculine, square jaw. A professional, gradual fade makes his face seem refined even in its most rugged forms.

How to Get the Justin Timberlake Beard

Achieving Justin Timberlake’s beard may involve a few different processes depending on which look you’re going for.

For this tutorial, we’ll be focusing on short beard styles. This short stubble beard style has been Timberlake’s go-to look as of late.

Step 1

Make sure this is right for you. If you’re prone to a patchy beard, you may want to rely on longer, wilder styles to cover up thinner spots.

While there are ways to get rid of patchy beard, you may want to reconfirm that this is a style you want to go for.

Step 2

Shave it off! Chances are, the style your facial hair is currently in has uneven lengths. Be sure to explore our blogs to find tips to grow a thicker beard or to grow a beard faster.

Step 3

Let it grow out. You’ll want to be sure you have plenty of canvas to style and work on when you shave your beard down to the stubble.

Take time to prepare your beard tool arsenal! This would be a great time to browse our website to find the top-rated stubble beard trimmers, learn how to trim a beard, and look into how to trim a perfect neckline.

Step 4

Clean your beard. Make sure your beard is clean and ready to be shaped. Clean out any food scraps from the day and exfoliate your skin using a gentle facial scrub.

Step 5

Go through with the first trim. You can always trim further, but you can’t add hair back onto your face.

Be conservative with your first trim.

The term “stubble” encompasses a wide range of lengths, so play around with the length you like.

Even at his shortest styles, Timberlake usually has stubble long enough to be readily noticeable.

Step 6

Set up your fade. Use downgrading trimmer settings for a gradual fade from stubble to shaven. Create a fade from the jawline to the cheek.

Feel free to mess with length and the distance of your fade, but again, remember that you can always cut more. Be conservative with your first cuts to get an idea of what you’ll like.

Step 7

Shave the neckline. One of the ways Timberlake can keep even his most rugged styles looking stylish and graceful is a clean neckline.

Make sure you are cleanly shaven from the Adam’s apple down, but feel free to play with length and face above the Adam’s apple.

Step 8

Moisturize your beard. Be sure to apply beard oil liberally.

Beard oil is a careful blend of many oils, ranging from argan oil, jojoba oil, and sweet almond oil, to lavender extract and rosemary essential oil.

These beard oil ingredients come together to create a great moisturizer to keep your facial hair luxurious and the skin beneath it healthy. (Now, when your friends ask, “What does beard oil do”, you’ll have a great explanation!)

Step 9

Maintain. Stubble can grow out quickly, so be sure to do regular maintenance to keep your style precise!

But then again, you can visit your local barbershop or hair salon. They are very familiar with this type of hair and beard style and can give you a great look that is doable but much harder to achieve at home.
