BeardHair on the chin, lower face and neckA beard is the hair that grows on the jaw, chin, upper lip, lower lip, cheeks, and neck of humans and some non-human animals. In humans, beards are most common among pubescent and adult males, though some women also develop them in a condition called hirsutism. Attitudes toward beards have varied across history, shaped by cultural traditions and fashion trends.
MoustacheA moustache (UK: ) or mustache (US: ) is a growth of facial hair grown above the upper lip and under the nose of people, mostly men. Moustaches have been grown in various styles throughout history.
GoateeA goatee is a style of facial hair incorporating hair on the chin entirely. The exact nature of the style has varied according to time and culture. DescriptionUntil the late 20th century, the term goatee was used to refer solely to a beard formed by a tuft of hair on the chin—as on the chin of a goat, hence the term 'goatee'.
Chinstrap beardThe chinstrap beard is a type of facial hair that extends from the hair line of one side of the face to the other, following the jawline, much like the chin curtain; unlike the chin curtain though, it does not cover the entire chin, but only the very edges of the jaw and chin. It was fashionable from the late 18th century through the mid-19th century in Europe, and later in Russia and Japan.

ShavingShaving is the removal of hair, by using a razor or any other kind of bladed implement, to slice it down—to the level of the skin or otherwise. Shaving is most commonly practiced by men to remove their facial hair and by women to remove their leg and underarm hair. A man is called clean-shaven if he has had his beard entirely removed. Both men and women sometimes shave their chest hair, abdominal hair, leg hair, underarm hair, pubic hair, or any other body hair.
