To learn more about recent beard trends, hair growing tips, and what areas people usually overlook, we reached out to Tiffany Carnevale-Russo, salon manager at Jaxson Maximus in Miami. She told Bored Panda that right now they see plenty of gentlemen who decided to grow out their beards and hair during quarantine.

Well, no wonder why — it was the perfect time for men worldwide to put down their razors and try something they never tried before. After all, if you were slightly out of luck and didn't manage to fully rock the look, you could just easily laugh it off since not that many people would witness your little mishap.

However, it seems that many were able to pull it off. Just take a walk around the city and you’ll be greeted by all shapes and sizes of groomed (and sometimes completely wild!) facial hair, whether it’s slick mustaches, full-on beards, or at least some designer stubbles. "Beard care has become a focus with our clients," Tiffany added.

If you were inspired by the number of men strolling down the street with their gorgeous new look, there are a few things to consider. "Make sure the hair grows in an even pattern," Tiffany advised. "Some men get bald patches throughout their beards. If this is the case, we recommend a goatee or not having facial hair at all."

"Sometimes, your beard can blend some areas to match so that the balding isn't visible. It entirely depends on the person and their hair growth pattern," she said and added that it's best to consult with your barber to see what would be best for you.

When asked whether there are any new trends on the radar, Jaxson Maximus’ manager explained that more men opt for a full beard rather than sharp lines and corners. Thankfully, it seems that the world is finally ditching the double mustache and the monkey tail beard looks. "More natural-looking is definitely more popular."

Once you’ve patiently waited through all of the stages of beard growth, you’ll find that sometimes it can be quite hard to manage. Tiffany told Bored Panda that "professional grooming products are key, so make sure to invest in proper skincare products. Best to consult with your barber or stylist to see what they recommend."

In the meantime, it’s necessary to use a cleanser to wash your face. "Removing everyday dirt and debris will help the beard have a healthy environment to grow, just like the hair on your head," she explained.

"Adding in an exfoliant once or twice a week will help open the pores, especially when shaving. It allows the razor to move over the face easily and prevents irritation," she continued. "Hydrating the beard is also very important. A good quality beard oil will help soften the beard hair; this helps the hair not become very wiry and more manageable."

Let’s not forget the areas that sometimes get seriously neglected, like shaving the neck. "Make sure you explain to the barber that you are looking to maintain your beard look until your next appointment. Unless you are going in once a week, you will want an at-home regime. Ask him or her to walk you through how to properly shave your neck, and what products are best to use," she suggested.

Lastly, Tiffany would like to advise you to create a lasting relationship with your barber or stylist. "Make sure you feel comfortable with them, and you’re confident they are delivering the best experience possible. Also, invest in proper products recommended by your hair care professional to maintain any look you have at home, in between appointments," she concluded.
