Pros and Cons 

Pros

• Prevents ingrown hair and acne. The trouble with regular shaving is that it makes you more prone to painful ingrown hairs and acne. This is especially true if your razor is not quite as sharp as you need it to be.
• People cannot tell your age accurately. When you grow a beard, people assume that you are a bit on the mature side. However, they would not be able to pinpoint your age exactly. All bearded men would look the same regardless of their ages at a certain point.
• Promotes ease in diffusing tension. If you ever get into an argument with someone, your beard will be able to quell the tension. Who would want to argue with someone who has a funny mustache?
• Helps you stand out from the crowd. You can always differentiate yourself from others because of your quirky and funny beard.
• People will hang out with you more. The reason is that they will feel more at ease with you, which means that they will also open up with you more.

Cons

• Quite expensive styling products. The thing about funny beards is that they usually do not come naturally. You will need to deliberately style them to get your desired look, spending more on styling products.
• Most styles are only temporary. Many funny beard styles are obviously for temporary use only. These designs are for those who grew out their beard but need to shave them all off for whatever reason.

How to Get

Step 1 – Grow out your beard

Your beard should at least be long enough for you to style it the way you want. This means you will need to grow your beard for around 3 to 6 months, depending on how fast your facial grows. Your hair should be 3 to 4 inches long for the basic styles. You may also need them to be longer for the more extreme designs.

Step 2 – Choose your design

Research the different quirky beard styles that you can sport. The good news is that there are many different styles that you can shape your beard into, so picking one that you like is possible.

Step 3 – Decide if you will be keeping the beard or not

As mentioned earlier, there are funny beard styles that are so wild that you might not want to use them all the time. A good example is the Monkey Tail. It involves shaving patches off your beard, which means you can never style it any other way.

Step 4 – Gather the necessary tools and products

Once you have decided on the type of funny beard style you want, it is time that you prepare your operating table. You will need a good quality beard balm for shaping and curling the hairs. If you are shaving and shaping the actual shape of your beard, then you will need professional hair clippers and/or a sharp straight razor.

Step 5 – Commit to your design and start styling

Some funny beard styles will require you to mangle the facial hair you have patiently been growing. You need to be committed to what you will be doing. After that, you can start having fun with the funny beard style that you finally got.

How to Trim and Shape

Step 1 – Decide on your design

If you are trimming your beard, then it must mean that you are planning on shaving off patches to create your desired design. Are you going with the double mustache, the batstache, or the monkey tail? Decide on what you want beforehand because there is no going back once you start.

Step 2 – Trim to a uniform length

Once you have decided on a design, take your hair clippers and adjust the thickness to the length required. For instance, you need to set the clippers to an inch thickness for the double mustache. You will need to set the clippers to an eighth inch for geometric designs.

Step 3 – Shave and shape

Take the guard off the hair clippers and carve out the shape you want. Removing the guard makes the clipper into an electric shaver but provides more control.

Step 4 – Clean the edges

The hair clipper is only for carving out the basic shape of your funny beard. You will need to use a straight razor to clean the edges and make them crisper.
