If you’ve mastered the art of beard grooming, you already know your facial hair makes a statement. But what about the hair on your head? A well-groomed beard deserves a hairstyle that balances or accentuates it. Whether you’re going for rugged and raw or smooth and stylish, the right haircut can elevate your entire look.

Here are five of the best haircuts for bearded men in 2025 - and how to keep your style on point from scalp to chin.

1. The Buzz Cut: Minimal Effort, Maximum Swagger

Let’s start with a classic - the buzz cut. Clean, low-maintenance, and effortlessly masculine, the buzz cut works brilliantly with a well-maintained beard. Why? Because when your scalp is stripped down to the basics, your beard becomes the focal point.

A buzz cut with a fuller beard creates contrast that highlights your jawline and beard density. It’s a favorite for men with strong facial features or those embracing a bold, no-nonsense style.

But here’s the beauty of the buzz: it’s not one-size-fits-all. There are several variations that give this minimalist style a personalized twist:

• Buzz Cut Fade: Adds a modern edge by tapering the hair gradually down the sides and back. The fade keeps things sleek while the beard holds attention up front. A great choice if you like crisp lines and low upkeep.

• High and Tight: Traditionally worn by military personnel, this style features very short sides and a slightly longer strip of hair on top. Paired with a medium to long beard, it brings balance between discipline and ruggedness.

• The Flattop: A retro-inspired option where the top is clipped flat and level, often with a high fade. It pairs well with a sculpted beard, especially if you're after a bolder, stylized look that turns heads.

Style Tip:
Keep your beard neat to avoid looking too scruffy. A well-shaped beard balances the simplicity - or geometry - of the cut.

Grooming Pairing:
Use the Carpe Diem Beard Butter to soften and condition your beard post-shower. The butter’s thick consistency keeps your beard hydrated, especially since a buzz cut exposes more of your face to the elements.

2. The Undercut with Slick Back: Rugged Meets Refined

The undercut remains a king among modern hairstyles, and it’s especially striking when paired with a medium-to-long beard. With shaved sides and volume on top, the undercut adds a sharp edge to your appearance - while your beard brings the balance of earthy charm.

For bearded men, the slicked-back version offers the added bonus of pulling attention to your face’s symmetry. Think of it as "Boardroom Viking" energy.

Style Tip:
This cut thrives with regular maintenance. Keep your sides clean and use a matte pomade for a natural finish.

Grooming Pairing:
Pair it with the Dapper Dude Beard Oil to add a subtle shine and keep beard flyaways under control. The scent complements a professional vibe without overpowering.

3. The Fade with a Short Beard: Sleek and Smart

A fade cut offers clean lines and an easy-to-maintain look that’s perfect for guys who like structure. Pair it with a short beard - think stubble to 1-inch range - for a modern, groomed appearance.

This combo is ideal for anyone working in a corporate setting or who prefers a polished presentation. It gives you that fresh-out-of-the-barbershop vibe every time you leave the house.

Style Tip:
Ask your barber for a low or mid fade depending on how dramatic you want the contrast to be.

Grooming Pairing:
Keep your beard tight and skin feeling fresh with the Coconut Stout Beard and Body Wash Bar. It doubles as a beard cleanser and body soap, making your routine streamlined and effective.

4. Medium-Length Waves or Curls: Natural Texture Wins

If you’re rocking medium-length wavy or curly hair, you’re in good company. This look exudes effortless cool and works well with everything from trimmed goatees to full mountain man beards.

What makes this style shine is the texture - it gives you a laid-back surfer or rockstar aesthetic, especially when paired with a beard that isn’t too tightly groomed.

Style Tip:
Let your curls breathe. Use lightweight styling cream to avoid crunch and let your natural pattern lead the way.

Grooming Pairing:
Try Rip Tide Beard Butter. Its creamy texture works through coarse facial hair and tames beard frizz without clashing with your hair’s natural waves.

5. The Pompadour: Retro Style with Modern Flair

Big, bold, and undeniably charismatic - the pompadour is a hairstyle that makes an entrance. It pairs exceptionally well with a beard because it elongates the face and draws the eye upward, creating harmony between top and bottom.

This style does require upkeep, but the payoff is worth it. When styled right, it’s a nod to vintage flair without feeling outdated.

Style Tip:
Invest in a blow dryer and a good volumizing mousse to achieve the perfect lift.

Grooming Pairing:
Use the Epic Night Beard Oil for a rich scent and deep conditioning. If you’re heading out for a night on the town, it adds polish and aroma that completes your statement look.

Beard Maintenance Tips for Any Hairstyle

A great hairstyle can fall flat if your beard isn’t keeping up. Here are three essential grooming rules no matter which cut you choose:

1. Wash regularly, but not too often.
Use beard-specific products like our True O.G. Beard Wash to avoid stripping your beard of its natural oils.

2. Moisturize daily.
Switch between beard oils and beard butters depending on the season and your beard's length or dryness level.

3. Trim with purpose.
Whether you're shaping your neckline or maintaining the cheek line, precise trimming goes a long way in keeping things tidy and stylish.

Final Thoughts: Match Your Energy

The right haircut doesn’t just complement your beard - it elevates your whole identity. From the effortless buzz cut to the bold pompadour, every style says something about who you are. Pick one that aligns with your lifestyle and grooming habits, and let your beard do the talking.
