Last week, I posted a tutorial about how to grow a beard in 6 months. At a certain point in this process, it’s time to visit your barber. And it’s very advantageous to know the jargon talk. Watch this little addon to the tutorial which explains the different beard parts in detail.
Watch the video
Sideburns
This is the higher part of your face forrest that grows in front of the ears. The sideburns connect the main hair on the scalp with the rest of the beard or, like in my case, it just fades out to a bald head.
Cheek line
This defines the upper limit of the beard on the cheeks. The cheek line may be defined by trimming or shaving or it may be defined naturally. Oftenly, this line is built naturally and you just need to remove remove some single hairs to get a clean line.
Mustache
The beard part that grows above the upper lip.
Side
The area of facial hair that grows on the cheeks. It connects the sideburns with the mustache and the front of the beard.
Front
As the name indicates, this part of the beard grows below the lower lip on the front of the chin.
Neck line
The line defining the lower limit of the beard along the neck. The neck line may also be defined by shaving or naturally. The neck line is pretty important for a proper beard shape, I will make another video about this matter soon.
Alright? So, next time you go to your barber of trust, you know the Terminology of beards and how to explain your needs.

I just found this bc my brother and I were discussing the parts of the beard and we were unclear as to the taxonomy.
Hope the article helped a bit 😉
