About Short Boxed
A boxed beard is kept longer than stubble but shorter than a full beard, typically from a few millimeters up to an inch. The cheek line is set with a straight or slightly curved line, and the neckline is cleaned up. These lines give the beard a neat, box-like shape, which is where the name comes from.
On a round face, keeping it slightly longer at the chin and shorter at the sides lengthens the face. On a heart-shaped face, it adds volume around the chin for balance. It takes three to five weeks to grow in; a weekly trim and a line clean-up every few days keep the shape.
How long does it take to grow a short boxed beard?
For most people, three to five weeks. Growth rate and density vary from person to person. You can already see the look in Mane.
What’s the difference between a short boxed beard and a full beard?
A short boxed beard is shorter with sharp lines. A full beard is longer, fuller and more voluminous. Try both on the same photo to compare.
