Remember the scene from 40 Year Old Virgin where the black guy said (when referencing his facial hair):

“I mean, look, dude. You think this was an accident? All of this right here? Premeditated, partner. You gotta highlight your attributes, like a diamond in the rough.”

As someone that draws a lot of information from that movie, and I can say that that is an amazing line. I’ll give you some examples.

If you’ve got a fat, pudgy, brownie-eating face, your hair and facial hair should try to balance that out. Slightly longer straight-down hair and a goatee help. Goatee’s generally help elongate a face. I

Let’s say you’re dealing with a thinner, longer head. Your hair needs to have volume, maybe avoid the facial hair, and puff up your hair (horizontally and vertically). You’ll notice that your face looks even longer (BAD) with a goatee or longer hair. You end up looking skinny and frail.

If you’ve got a larger nose, ears, lips, etc. larger hair or more facial hair will help cover for the fact that you have a disproportionate body part hanging around. Don’t believe me? Imagine a bald guy with elf ears or a blimp for a nose. Looks strange hmm?

Don’t be that guy.
