What is going on internet eric, bandholz back again with another beard, brand alliance, hope all is going well on the other side of the internet. Today, i'm going to tell you, i want to tell you what the 10 worst facial hairstyles are. Okay, i got ta put a lot of precursors in here because i don't want anyone getting upset. First of all, first rule, if you feel like uh, a dude with a mullet is a guy that you can trust. If you could trust this kind of style, then you might like this list or you might agree with it uh, but if you're the kind of guy who uh let's say you wear cargo shorts and then some tvs with socks in it. Maybe you won't like this lifts, maybe you won't but um. You know, there's a lot of a lot of facial hair styles and i've got another video for the top 10 best. Looking facial hairstyles and the reality is 20. Facial hair styles all told only. What is it only about? Six of these are things that i would not recommend you wear. So some of these on this list are things that i honestly think you should wear they're options, even though they're in the bad categories, just because you know there's only so many facial hair styles out there. So, let's get on with the list. We'Ll start number 10 number. 10 means these are the most likely that you can wear get away with it's cool, no big deal, no one's going to go out of their way and say: you're, not cool they're, not necessarily the worst styles they're, the best, the worst they're totally acceptable, you're. Okay. Wearing them, pat on the back man, it's okay, all right number, ten number, ten, the whaler, you guys know the whaler, it's uh, the big beard, big old beard and uh, no mustache, no mustache at all. Now some will call this the amish, i would say the amish is like a worst version of the whaler. Essentially i don't think the the amish they get rid of this part too. So it's just kind of like all that's gone and then it's like a big old beard, the amish yeah i mean the amish is worse than the whaler right. So if we had to pick between the two but they're, essentially two very similar uh facial hair styles, so um yeah, if we wan na bump the whaler off, put it at eleven amish at number ten, we can do that, but yeah number nine like uh again. This is like the whaler i think, like if you're the right type of style, the right type of personality, you can pull this off. It'Ll look cool, it's not really like a worse per se, but the mountain chops. You know big old mutton chops, like they kind of had their their time the day uh you know, but that day is kind of gone. You know my day's kind of gone. I i don't see a lot of people wearing mutton chops, but if you're the type of person to wear munchops, you're - probably a pretty cool person. But if you don't have the the cojonas to pull off such a dramatic kind of style, then uh you might be uh, you might be looking uh, maybe not as cool as you think you are so. Mutton shops number nine. Okay number, eight, the van dyke. Now again, another asterisk for this one, because look check this out that that's pierce brosnan he's got the van dyke. You can tell he's, got a little bit of scruff going on there, almost like a scruffy goat uh, which i'll kind of talk about in another video. But uh the van dyke, you know, i think pierce pulls it off, but i think, like historically, the type of people who are wearing the van dyke are maybe a little bit on the uh renaissance festival. You know uh role-playing kind of world, not to say there's anything wrong with that. That'S your jam! If you're just going for like a cool facial hair style, that's probably the scene you're not going for again, you can pull it off. You can make it look good, pure sprosman makes it look good. It'S totally acceptable we're still in the acceptable of the worst speaking of uh, the van dyke there's a very similar one that comes in at number seven a little bit worse, because i think it's just a little dated at its current time. I think there is a chance for it to come back and then to completely uh, be stripped away from this list and it's the goatee. You guys know the goatee is uh. Actually it's just kind of like the the growth right here. You know i did it in the the 2000s. Just this part. As you all know, the circle beard is the mustache plus the goatee uh. So the circle beard not quite on the list, but the goatee right here. Just this little chin thing yeah. You know you know, there's another style, i'm going to be talking about that's kind of from that era, not really that cool okay, uh. Those previous four versions were all facial, hairstyles that you can still wear today and it's going to be totally acceptable. But from this list on from number six down to number one uh, just don't wear them! Okay, just don't do it. Take my advice. There'S no way, no reason unless it's like for halloween or for some gimmick or for like a one-time thing to shave and have some fun take some photos. Okay, do that but you're not going to want to wear these and it starts with the fu man shoe the fu man shoe, as you guys, probably think about you, think about like occ orange county choppers and the guy he grows uh like the mustache down here. Well, technically, that's not a mustache! Technically, that's a circle beard with the middle part, shaved off and then he's got stuff grown here. That means it's a partial beard. So if you man shoe, if you look at the corner of your lips and go out anything a mustache needs to to grow above that and then so, essentially, a fu man shoe is like the tips of the mustache and they just come down. They just come down, and it's just like now. I know there's guys who uh they rock the english mustache, which is essentially like a pretty much a fu man shoe that that is waxed out to here. You know sometimes a little bit further like a really long handle bar and those are kind of cool. But if you're going to the natural state's fu man shoe you kind of, i don't know man, does it look right? Does it look normal? You got to be a special kind of person to pull it off and probably most of you guys are not going to do it. But if you can, you know power to you, just don't do it, though number five. You know this one's funny because uh carlos just did a video on it and it's the pencil mustache yeah i mean like a pencil mustache like oh yeah, carlos i mean i'm glad you tried it but jeez it. It did not look good on you. It did not look good and i'd say on most guys it just. I don't know like shaving, like separating your your nose hairs from your mustache that makes sense, but but putting a gap anywhere between your nose and facial, hair or or mustache. I don't know man, probably some facial hair, guys out there who are rocking rocking the pencil mustache and like no eric. This is the coolest thing, that's cool, i mean to be fair. I think our own sylvester lewis, our style consultant, he's been able to pull off a look pretty similar. That looks pretty good, so there are always going to be exceptions to the rules the pencil mustache. Maybe it could be higher than the fu manchu. Maybe it could have come in at number six, but i wouldn't rock it. Okay number, four! This is uh. You know i kind of gave a teaser a little bit. This is a product of the 90s. You know that goatee i talked about that. You don't want to be growing well, the chin strap boy, i got ta admit it i'll admit it i'll admit it. I rocked the chin, strap okay. I rocked the chin strap in the early 2000s. It'S what people did for, for whatever reason it was cool back. Then i did it, i admit it: it's no longer cool styles change. Maybe they'll come back, but right now, 2020 on this day, don't be growing up. Chin strap just don't do it. Okay, save yourself! Some trouble. Speaking of the early 2000s, like 90s facial hairstyles, you shouldn't be growing the soul patch. I mean what the soul patch, the soul patch is almost like. Uh number one on this list, which i'll get to in a little bit. It'S just like a little tuft of of hair right here like is that even like howie mandel? What are you doing terrible style man, terrible stuff, just guys, it's old patch? And if it's salt patch tied with a mustache? Okay, that's fair, but soul, patch on its own, hmm, especially if you're bald, just no. No, no! No! No! No! No number two number two has gotten a ridicule. Everyone calls it it's a name uh you make fun of people with the neck beard all right. Hey! You got a neck beard, you know you got ta you're fat and you play on the computer, your neck beard all right. You know a lot of people have insecurities with growing a neckbeard. You shouldn't grow a neck beard. Now. A proper neckbeard is what it is. It'S like literally growing out of this part out of your neck. Not your not your lower face, not this part but like literally like the neck. Like you look on wikipedia, you see that girl in that freaking. It'S like you, got a completely shaved face and then it's just like that's what i'm talking about with the neckbeard. No, i mean i don't think anyone's going to do that. That'S why it's number two on the list. It'S the absolute most hideous facial hairstyle. I have ever seen ever it's just terrible. Okay, now again, i'm not talking about neck beards from like maybe guys who grow patchy beards or they don't come in full or maybe they're a little bit too too too. The skin's stretched a little bit too much and they don't have the density they could have if they're a little slimmer. I'M not talking about that. Talking about that legit next beard, don't do that all right number one on the list, so you guys probably know it goes by three names. It'S actually not too terrible of a style. It'S just you just can't do it. You just can't do it. You just can't. Do it you know why? Because, like the worst person in the history of our time period of the last hundred years, he wore no i'm not talking about charlie chaplin, i'm talking about mr uh adolf hitler and the hitler stash or the toothbrush mustache or the chaplin mustache, depending on what you Want to call it it's essentially the mustache that lines up in between the edges of your nose. It used to be a common man's style. That'S why hitler grew it out back in the day and then everyone's like you know what that guy hitler he's he's, not a good dude, and i just i don't want any part of him and pretty much the whole world agreed. You can't grow the you can't grow up. Just don't do it again. You know if you're dressing up for as a nazi like uh, that queen's son or queen's grandkid, what's his name, the redheaded guy prince, something or other. If you're dressing up like hitler for a costume party, then yeah - okay, maybe you wear the the mustache. But again i probably wouldn't recommend that you dress up as hitler or a nazi. I think that's probably not an advisable thing to do, especially 2020, but you know like it's your life, you, you do the risk that you want to have in life. So where did i get this wrong? What was on this list that should have not been on this list, and what did i forget and stay tuned or if it's already out there be sure to watch my other video on the top 10 beard styles, as always, thanks for watching cheers, keep on growing Foreign

Viking Santa: As facial haired people we should be supporting each other no matter what style we choose to rock
Baba Yaga: The Van Dyke seems to making a big comeback, from what I'm seeing, even if you disagree it shouldn't be on this list, it's a timeless classic, and is a much better look than just ''acceptable'', IMO.
maschy pee: Amish beards and those of other groups are a symbol of their commitment to pacifism, from a time in the 18th and 19th centuries when having a strong beard or moustache was a requirement of soldiers in most European standing armies as a sign of being warriors. It looks odd in the 21st century aesthetically, but isn't to be ridiculed really.
Matthew Strong: The pencil mustache done right will always be a classic IMO.
kungfublitz: I was literally rolling on the floor laughing while you were explaining the neck beard style. seriously, those gestures made my day
My name is not Jeff: Imagine how many amish dudes would be offended by this if they had internet
merijn valentijn: Hearing this from a guy with a mullet and a stache
ECR: I had the thin chinstrap without a mustache during the 2000s too. Must’ve been a trend at the time. The beard became part of my main look in 2010. As for the pencil mustache, I feel that is one reason I have not been to the barber in ten years. Aside from having to travel extensively, most of the barbers in my area would have commented negatively about going for either a “less carved” look or a longer beard and mustache before they became cool in urban environments. Part of the irony (especially today being the anniversary of El Grito de Lares,) a physician/political activist had a long beard (Ramon Emeterio Betances.)
Juan Arocha: Stay strong Eric, beards take time to grow and yours is starting to come out of its shell
Савва Эйрус-Шулепов: I've been bald for quite a while now, and i was rocking a chin strap for several years, which suited me fine. Then i got older and dropped it for a soul patch (just to leave something there), and it looked real jazzy. Now I'm sporting a slightly grown out goatee (traditional, not circle beard), and i friggin love it, also getting a lot of good feedback from people i meet and work with. Also, in between the last two i went ahead and tried growing a full beard for half a year, which was crazy, and going back to a lighter style felt really cool. So know your face, bros, try what you want and see if it fits. Also remember it might not be good for you in a couple of years.
Andrew Chochola: Hi there, @Beardbrand Alliance aka Eric Brandholz. I had a particular style of moustache in mind where I would make the edges of my moustache straight so as to separate it from my beard, and I made a huge mistake. I shaved too high up. If I were to make the other style equal, I would have the toothbrush moustache, and there was no way no how that I will have a moustache like that. So I shaved my moustache of entirely and I rocked the whaler. The problem was that I wasn't happy. It didn't really suit me. I suppose that if I wore a hat, I could pull the whaler off, but I wasn't happy anyhow. So I used my beard trimmer to cut it all off and start afresh from a stubble. The profile picture I have now is my most recent.
Sami Uddin: The chin strap is a beard style that I still rock to this day because it suits my face shape and that's the most facial hair I can get with it. I can't grow a full beard since one side of my face grows patchy, so a chin strap helps make my facial hair look full.
Richard Leonardon: My grandfather, who is French, had a Hitler mustache in the 1930s, when it was popular. One day a man on a train told him that my granddad looked like Hitler. He shaved it the next morning.
Ata Vax: I was like, what on earth could be worse then a neckbeard....
Mäddes: I love you guys! Since years I felt all alone with my first class handle bar Moustache in Germany, but you spend me so much power I can got throug this for another 20 years.
lamebubblesflysohigh: I lost a bet once and had to go shopping with Hitler stache (shaving my 6 months old beard in the proces of making it was part of the deal too)... oh boy the looks people gave me :D :D :D hillarious
R L: Dude these are the most slept on styles! If you did something creative and interesting with these styles you could be the person who single handedly brings them back!
Guy Solis: I grew both the Van Dyke and the Soul Patch. My Van Dyke was cool as hell but it was very tedious to shave around. My soul patch or "lower lip mustache" had been on my face for years.
Beard Martin: Eric, please dont stop with those videos... Im addicted, thank you for this so much... You are big inspiration ! :)
Abdu FM: Hahaha I laugh so much specially about the pencil mustache and neckbeard!! I really like the video and I can relate to a lot of what you saying Eric, please do similar videos, hope to see every BB Alliance member do a thoughts of beard styles too!!
L Clark: Anxiously awaiting the best 10 styles video for inspiration. I think I've had about 10 different styles during quarantine.
J.W.: When I clicked on this ,I was thinking a guy with a mullet and "pornstache" is about to let me know the styles he hates.I'm glad you addressed it right off the bat.Grow your beard back,it looks better.Good stuff.
Alex Hamel: Just gonna throw it out there. Not as much of a fan of the "negative title" videos you guys at Beardbrand are creating lately. But, to each his own. Just miss your down to earth, no judgment old videos.
Doug Wheeler: The soul patch would have to be on my list as #1 worst. What's the point of having that little patch of hair growing under your lip, especially if it's only 8 or 10 strands of hair, like I've seen some people with...... absolutely hideous. By the way..... that mustache of yours Eric..... awesome! Wish I had one like that.
Neil M: Gotta wear what YOU want and what YOU can grow. Be comfortable to be unique. Ignore the negative.
KFCfryer: Soul patch doesn’t look bad if you have some stubble to accompany it and/or ear lobe level sideburns. A thicker looking chin strap incorporating a circle beard can work for guys with sparse hair on their cheeks. My unsolicited opinion: Cut the mullet off and let a short beard accompany that mustache.
Justin Shiltz: You missed the "landing strip" similar to the soul patch, but just a strip of hair that grows from the bottom of your lip to under your chin. A truly hideous facial hair style.
sYnchr0: You definitely pulled off the Beard + Mullet look. However, sporting more than 1 controversial style at any one time though, that's when you take away from both. It went from Edgy to Hillbilly real quick.
kjell159: I've been trying to grow a fu manchu since my 16th, I'm now 23 and when I put moustache wax in it, I actually have two loose tendrils of like 2 -3 centimeters (about an inch) long, with a single hair passing my jawline. (had another one a longer while ago, but it fell off pretty fast) Maybe in a few years it'll really come through! :) I combine it with a long, thin beard portraying from the middle, but keeping the sides (where the tendrils hang) clean shaven. I've actually been thinning out my beard throughout the years, as my moustache started growing in and my beard started growing longer & a bit thicker. I also shave the middle part of the moustache, so I basically have a '2 part' moustache so to speak. The part right under my nose is shaven. So my moustache is really distinct from a 'horseshoe', which is really a different moustache all together as it aren't 2 tendrils but a combination with the hair below the moustache, which is shaven off on a fu manchu. I don't like those 2 being put under the same category. You wouldn't put a dali moustache with a pencil or a 'walrus' either, e.g., would you? Shaving the middle part, creating two distinct tendrils, loose whiskers, parts; also makes it quite distinct from a dali. It's not an inverse dali, it's not a horseshoe. It's an actual fu manchu. But not *yet* portraying past my jawline. I have naturally quite curly hair though, so it's not the easiest, but I've wanted a fu manchu since I was 14. haha Never actually seen one in real life, even online you barely find anything about it. The same couple of pictures. Most from the actual character called fu manchu. (like shown in this video) So it's mostly a work & experiment in progress, and hope that nothing serious will happen to my moustache, as those few long hairs are quite delicate to keep healthy & safe of course.
maximo lacerante: Eric, any advice on how to deal with face masks training your beard the wrong way, i.e. molding the beard to stay tucked in too close to the neck when you look at it from the side. Im talking about the respirators that push your beard back towards your neck.
Richard Leonardon: My step grandfather did a chin strap in the 1980s. Beards were not in style then, but he actually looked good in it.
Braydon Godin: Luckily a lot of those aren’t possible for me as I can’t really grow dense facial hair. Almost none on the sides and cheeks. I’m limited to a few. Few day old growth moustache, soul patch combo with a bit on the chin is all that looks good on me and lasts about a week until it looks odd and then just end up being clean shaven.
spades1080: Eric... Don't let one man kill an entire facial hair style! Just because Howie is a bald douche bag: it doesn't mean all soul patches are bad. Give the other brothers a break. I'm not rocking one now, but I definitely still like them.
Mateo Lovato: I'm Hispanic and the only kind of facial hair I can grow is a Van Dyke and I love it. Runs strongly in the family and I think it looks great on my family members who also grow out their facial hair. However, I will agree that the Van Dyke can look bad if someone who can grow a full beard shapes one, because it can look unnatural and just plain weird. That said, if I could grow a full beard I probably would.
MrGoldenV: I never liked it at first Eric but the more you own the mullet and moustache late 80's do it's actually not bad.
Bald & Beardiful: Had the chin beard for years lol. Also the goatee. Had to steer my son in the right direction on his hahaha
Ronathan: I'm a trans guy and I'm still in the first few months of growing my beard and it does NOT want to grow on my cheeks but its growing under my chin like crazy
Josh Battista: Yeah, i wasn't a digging it when Carlos tried the pencil stache. I tried put the mutton chops one time, though i can't connect my mustache to the rest of my facial hair, so i just shaved it and started all over. Right now I'm growing out my goatee and have been trimming my sides and mustache short to stubble length, and have been shaving my neck.
YR CH: My intuition says the chin strap is likely to come back in style in the future as a form of nostalgia, like we are currently doing with the 80s.
vegasrenie: I hate the soul patch! When I see one it makes my chin itch. Pencil staches were the trademarks of old actors like Don Ameche and Clark Gable. I never cared for them (not sexy in my opinion), but I like trivia.
Conger Scott: If they started calling it a "jock strap beard" instead of a chin strap beard people would probably quit growing them lol .
Rana Yasir: I'm agree with your top 10 points. Mr Eric. Thanks
crofold: Man, I'm glad I've never done the proper neckbeard or the Hitler moustache before... I've done all kinds of facial hair styles but those are 2 I'm never gonna try. I'll stick to my small beard or stubble.
Darby Carithers: We need to talk Greg into doing the achy break mullet
Thomas Leon George Robert Gladwell: I did the pencil moustache and everyone told me I am the only person who could make it work and make it not look like a pedophile moustache, currently rocking a moustache, 5 o'clock shadow beard and side burns
Adrian Garcia: I like the energy this guy has
Sid Widmer: I’ll say this ... you have some confidence in your 90s corvette driving, collapsable pool cue toting, seagrams wine cooler drinking, Def Leopard Paranoia cassette on replay style ...
sergio vela: I love the way he's completely non confrontational
TJ P: You forgot the runway. The thin streak running from where the soul patch starts all the way down to the chin...it looks like something dripping out of the mouth. It's especially creepy when the whiskers are white!
Demon Saint: Decided to shave my beard and as a goof I shaved up a friendly muttonchop. Well it worked and stuck with it.
Hawg Hunters: I think you nailed that list!
myrddraal: I noticed a lot of college age Texans wearing chinstraps (and really overly-squared ones at that) during my years at a&m
Eduardo Jusidman: I completly agree with your picks.
Alan D: What about chops without that mustache connection? I feel like that could work for some.
Joe Hansen: When I close my eyes, it feels like a John C. Reilly is giving me his opinions on facial hair.
Michael Floyd: I expected #1 to be a trick answer: no facial hair at all.
Secret Agent Dank: Vincent Price rocked that pencil stache though
Florian Schröter: The toothbrush goes perfect with the soulpatch.
Matufa Menulis: black men rock pensil mustache the most these days and it looks not bad on them
Mr. Sosho: its hilarious how his hair moustache combo fits perfectly in this list
Craig Morrison: Yeah, the soul patch is just awful. Every guy I've met that has a soul patch is an a$$hole in some way lol
sidefish: Lemmy successfully pulled off the mutton chops but he had a very strong chin.
Keshav: Love your videos thanks for helping
The jack 333: The soul patch can work if you have a mustache with it.
Fernando Valero: I rocked the soul patch with some long sideburns in the late 90s early 2000s.
Jonathan Haynie: Not saying I want it as a 30-something lily white guy, but some Latino guys can rock the chin strap.
PINK TIGER STUDIOS: Great video as always
Nehsres: Shannon Noll is an Australian Icon and the only man in history that is allowed to wear a soul patch
MattyMatthew: It doesn’t matter , you just have to find your own beard style
mr mystery: My man Eric killing it with his look
Felipe Andres Martinez Martinez: Oh my god, I had a big laugh with the first one, i was not expecting that hahahah lmao
Aiden A: I still think the soul patch is alright with the right style and the right person, but maybe I am wrong.
Michael Lampson: I feel like all of these have a place, and time. Like I could see a pencil as a formal event style or Amish beard on someone Amish cause, well, it’s part of their religion and belief. Only one I think shouldn’t ever be worn is the toothbrush cause, wow that would just be bad.
Chayan Krishna: Not having a beard is WORST BEARD STYLE?
Dan Wright: I disagree about the Van Dyke. The Van Dyke beard style is dope
Beard Wisely: Thanks for the easy-going subject matter. I may have to go for the amish whaler look one time
A K: What made you decide to go for that classic trailer park look? Mullet and stache...good foundation for giving people advice on style;)
Nick hyde: Life would be so much easier if we were born hairless. To many hair and beard styles.
Scooternsc: Dude, I'm digging your mullet!
Joseph Stealin: There is me thinking that the Toothbrush was going to make a comeback. Best go shave
Positive Breaks: Really fun video, as I sit here rocking the whaler. Thanks for bumping it to 11!
A_FUCKIN_SPACE MARINE!: The Soul patch is timeless!
Jean Luca Cano Montiel: The only guy with a mullet I trust is James Hetfield, but u look close enough so I trust you lol
Kye White: After he said soul patch i immediately knew what number 1 was.
Dan Poc: I remember another name for the soul patch was call bum fluff.
Interstate CEO: Lol, I've rocked almost all of these styles. Damn it..
Trout: I think the pencil can look great on the right guy but you just need the style and cojones to back it up, just look at Errol Flynn
Derek Caliman: I rock the Whaler and it's awesome. Plus my wife hates my mustache lol
Alexander Zurba: Yes I agree about the van dyke, looks really creepy, especially with a pair of coke bottle glasses, lol.
NarratorGummy: I legit trimmed to a chin strap a week ago felt so cool lol, guess I gotta figure something out now
Mikael Fischer: awesome tips, I would never have any of these beard styles, Love the video.
Jose Mora: Sadly not a lot of people respect mustaches. I think you look great, a mix of a bad ass dirty cop and an old soul.
TanTanTheVlogger: The chinstrap aint a bad beard look if your like me and cant grow any cheek hair, it only looks bad if you shave it too thin but i think if you have patchy cheeeks and shave it down to where its thickest along the jaw it doesnt look half bad. If anything it would be more of a low cheekline beard rather then a actuall chinstrap if yall know what i mean.
Comet67: Video starts at 1:48.
José CA: i like the pencil moustache the way Chris Cornell rocked it
Augusto Vieira: I LOVE this guy's voice
Tushar Vaid Official: Man you're a genius. World truly needs you.
Thomas Leon George Robert Gladwell: I call the Hitler moustache the Jameson moustache or the JJ stache, I kinda expect those who wear it these days to go around randomly demanding photographs of Spiderman off random people in the street
Momo Kawashima: Hey, I quite often wear toothbrush mustache, every chick I talk to say it suits me cause it's not a massive pair of mustache, it's not that bad (yeah yeah, I know the whole Hitler stuff, I'm a lover of the whole world war 1 and world war 2 military history, but I can always say "I'm a jew" or "I'm a Chaplin fan". Usually the chaplin thing, people around town know about the first thing)
