Crafting the Modern Beard: A Timeline of Beard Trends and Grooming Excellence

Published 06th Sep 2024 by Sian Jones

In the world of men’s grooming, few trends have been as enduring and transformative as the rise of the beard. Over the past decade, beards have become more than just a fashion statement - they’ve evolved into a symbol of identity, confidence and style, and as the grooming industry has expanded, so too has the understanding and appreciation for facial hair. Take a look back at the timeline of beard trends and grooming excellence with STMNT Grooming Goods...

2014-2016: The Hipster Beard Revolution

The mid-2010s marked the beginning of the beard renaissance, fuelled largely by the rise of the hipster subculture. During this time, the beard became synonymous with a lifestyle that valued craftsmanship and authenticity. Full, thick beards paired with flannel shirts and man buns were trending everywhere.

2017-2019: Groomed and Refined

As the hipster beard trend matured, a new emphasis on grooming emerged. Trends shifted from the untamed look in favour of more structured, well-maintained beards. We started to see more precision cuts, clean lines, and desired for the perfect fade. As men looked for ways to keep their beards healthy and styled, demand for high-quality grooming products soared.

2020-2024: The Balanced Approach

In recent years, the trend has shifted towards balance and versatility. The modern beard is neither too wild nor overly manicured; it’s a reflection of a someone who knows how to maintain their look with confidence. The emphasis is on healthy, well-cared-for facial hair that complements an overall style, with grooming routines becoming as essential as skincare.
