6. Bandholz

Bandholz is one of the coolest full beard styles but it requires patience to grow. For the first 4 months, your beard might look patchy and unkempt but you have to let it grow. To achieve this look, you’ll have to grow your beard for approximately 7 months before shaping it according to your personal preference.
