Move over October, it's now Movember.
As part of the initiative to change the face of men's health, the Movember Foundation challenges men to grow a mustache during the month to raise awareness for health programs and spark conversation about prostate and testicular cancer, as well as mental health.
While some chose to support the Movember campaign by growing a mustache, other men across the U.S. embrace No-Shave November and grow a beard or stubble to show support.
No-Shave November is a campaign to raise cancer awareness and encourages men to grow out their facial hair and embrace their beards in honor of the people who loose their hair during cancer treatments.
During the month when men say no to shaving, there are many different facial hair looks to choose from. Common types include: stubble, a full beard, goatee, the handlebar, the horseshoe, and the circle beard.
For those who can't decide which 'stache/beard combo to choose, the following list of the best celebrity beards can give you some inspiration to style your own Hollywood look.
Growing and maintaining facial hair can be time-consuming. Bradley Cooper's 'stache is easy to maintain and perfect for a businessman. Choose to grow some stuble or just keep it clean and simple.
Perfect for a guy with a sense of humor is the 'stache with a space break. To achieve the James Franco look, shave everyday, but avoid the upper lip. Then stretch the skin to buzz the center.
The handlebar mustache is a character of its own. Hugh Jackman showed off his along with a goatee combo in a selfie. While the look was probably for a role, this 'stache is the perfect for the mischievous man.
Men can't go wrong with the signature Johnny Depp mustache, goatee and soul patch combo. This classic look is ideal for men who can't grow a full beard or have coarse hair. And who wouldn't want to look like Johnny Depp?
Kevin Hart has serious goatee game. Perfecting the circle or Van Dyke goatee takes precision. If you don't trust yourself with a razor, head over to the barber to get this facial hair look.
Scruff like Chris Hemsworth's works great for men who can grow a full beard of straight hair. Let the beard grow out and trim to to keep it a manageable length.
David Beckham knows style. And while he usually goes for a clean cut or a lighter scruff look, his more full facial hair look seen here looks great with the pompadour hairstyle. Let your beard grow out and then trim to keep the length.
Jake Gyllenhaal has been embracing his manliness lately by growing out thick, full beards.
Going a full month without shaving might be a big commitment for some men. However, after seeing this manly beard by Jared Leto, you might be willing to put down the razor. Rock out with this full, long beard and let it keep growing.
Nobody can pull off a Hollywoodian beard better than Leonardo DiCaprio. This epic beard features a full horseshoe mustache with a long goatee and chin strap combo. This beard says I am a man and I am proud.
Happy No-Shave November! And if you need anymore convincing about growing facial hair, these memes will be sure to convince you.
