Most Popular Dylan O’Brien Beard Styles
Full or a Classic Style
In 2016, O’Brien resurfaced after getting seriously injured on the third Maze Runner sequel movie set. Here, he sported a 2-month beard. He looked pretty mature for a 25-year-old (at the time).
Short Stubble
Short stubble is the facial hair style that O’Brien usually sports these days. He has a strong jawline, so the short stubble helps to accentuate the shape of his face. This is an excellent alternative if you have uneven beard growth or a patchy beard.

Balbo
Much to the relief of most of his fans, O’Brien styled his scruffy beard. Surprisingly, he experimented with a Balbo beard, sometimes called a beardstache or an anchor beard, which looks like an inverted T for the goatee and a bit of a mustache.
The stubble on his jaw and cheeks helped highlight his facial hair, which looked great on him.

FAQ
What style of Dylan O’Brien beard to choose if you have a square face?
A Balbo beard might be the right style for you if you have a square face. Or, better yet, you can go with a short stubble to accentuate your jawline. Tapered beard styles also work well because they will outline your jaw nicely.
What form of Dylan O’Brien beard to choose if you have a rectangular face or an elongated one?
A rectangular or elongated face goes well with a full beard. A short beard with thick sideburns will make your face look fuller. Beard styles without sideburns will only make your face look longer.
Use a good quality pair of beard scissors and treat it daily with beard oil to make it look fuller and neat.
