Ducktail beard
A full, thick beard trimmed close at the cheeks and sides that grows longer toward the chin and ends in a point. It’s named after that tip, which looks like a duck’s tail. Groomed, strong and full of character.

About Ducktail
A ducktail is essentially a shaped full beard. The cheeks and sideburns are kept at 6 to 9 millimeters while the chin is left to grow. The length builds gradually toward the chin and finishes in a pointed tip centered under it. A smooth transition makes the beard look natural rather than sculpted.
On a round face, the downward point makes the face look longer. On a square face, it softens an angular jawline, and on an oval face, it looks balanced. It usually takes two to three months to reach its full shape, so leave the chin alone while it grows in. After that, a trim every week or two keeps the point. It pairs well with a pompadour, an undercut, slicked back hair or a man bun.
What’s the difference between a ducktail and a Garibaldi?
A ducktail stays short at the sides and ends in a pointed tip at the chin. A Garibaldi is wider and longer, with a rounded bottom. Try both on the same photo to see which shape suits your face.
How do I shape a ducktail beard?
Trim the sides short, then raise the trimmer length step by step as you move toward the chin. Use scissors to bring the tip to a point, and a little balm keeps it in shape all day.
