So, the following lines will throw light on how to get each of these facial hair styles. Let’s begin with the mutton chops.

The first thing that you have to know about growing mutton chops is that you need thick (very thick) facial hair to successfully wear this style and a top rated beard grooming kit.

Step 1

Wait for a full beard to grow. It may take some time, depending on your genetic background. If you don’t have thick facial hair, you can look for ways to make them thicker (but don’t shave – it doesn’t make your facial hair thicker).

Step 2

Once all the facial hair has grown, you need to clean shave your neck and chin.

Step 3

Don’t touch the sideburns right up to the jaw, as well as halfway to the chin.

Step 4

Now clean shave the hair underneath your cheekbones, creating an inclined line. Make sure that 1 and half inch facial hair strip and sideburns stay in place.

Remember:

  • Don’t connect the mutton chops with the mustache
  • Plan the mutton chops the way you have seen Samuel L. Jackson do in Pulp Fiction
  • Trim rogue hair using a stubble trimmer or even scissors to ensure that style is well-maintained
  • Don’t forget to keep both sides symmetrical

While you are working on the mutton chops, you need to stay focused on your mustache as well. To get a horseshoe mustache, you need to follow these steps:

Step 5

 Allow your mustache to grow normally, but at the time of shaving, make sure that your mustache tails grow down the face naturally.

Step 6

It is actually your beard that will grow as an extension of the mustache tails, giving the illusion that your mustache is growing downwards.

Make sure that while trimming a mustache or shaving, a prominent gap is visible between the mustache and the mutton chops. Using a proper beard shaping tool will help you achieve this look.

Step 7

Make sure that the pipe/tail width remains the same as the mustache, only a bit wider towards the chin.

A proper beard trimmer will help you keep the pipes and mustache exactly at the length you need for the Winnfield look. Also, don’t allow your facial hair to bleed down on your neckline or cheek’s horizontal part.

Finally, if you put in the right effort, getting this famous Samuel L. Jackson beard style is going to be no big deal. However, maintenance will require a commitment on your part, both to keep the facial hair trimmed and clean.
