You might know the Henriquatre better as the royal goatee, the around-the-Oral Beard or the playful “Will Smith Beard”. The king of all beard styles is seen as playful and sexy, but also chic and smart. But, what exactly does such a goatee look like and even better, how do you get such a Henriquatre? Of course, we will delve deeper into that today.
What is a Henriquatre?
The Henriquatre is named after the Beard of the French King Henry IV. This king became known not only for his religious wars or the construction of castles but also for his (then still) unique Beard. Let’s just say this is the reason why people remember him positively.
A Henriquatre is a royal goatee. Compared to other beards, you can recognize the goatee by the fact that this royal Beard runs completely around the Oral. Your cheeks are smoothly shaved so the Beard stands out even more. The Moustache in this beard style is characterized by a thin line that directly connects to the Moustache. Want a Henriquatre? Then make sure to have clear contours, a smoothly shaved Face around the Beard, and a symmetrical shape on both sides.
This beard style is extra suitable for men with a square Face, a wide Face, or a Face with many contours. If you happen to have a round or full Face, this royal Beard might suit you less well. But feel free to try it out to be sure! The nice thing about a Beard is that it can grow back.
How do you get a royal goatee?
The royal Beard has a fan club of many masculine men. Think of a Will Smith, Brad Pitt, and Leonardo DiCaprio, just to name a few. Making a goatee is a task but certainly not impossible. A Henriquatre does take some time and requires some knowledge. But, then you have something, of course. You must at least go through the following steps.
Letting the goatee grow
It always starts with leaving your growing Beard alone. You must not Shaving or trim your Beard for the first few weeks, but do trim your upper lip so you don’t look like a complete caveman. You can stimulate your hair growth by using a good beard serum.
Trimming the goatee
When your hairs are long enough, it's time to shape your goatee. Start by trimming your goatee with a Trimmer suitable for beards. Attach a guard to your Trimmer of 3 to 5 cm, this is the right length for a goatee.
Shaping the goatee
When all hairs are the same length, it's time to shape your goatee. How to Shaving a goatee is to Shaving your cheeks smoothly. Look carefully at the symmetry of your shaped goatee and shave all hairs around it away. Once these hairs are gone, you roughly have a goatee. Now it's time to shape it to perfection.
Bring your Beard into a slightly rounded shape from around your Oral to under your chin. A tip from us, just grab a reference photo. That way you know exactly how it should look. Don’t forget to trim the hairs of your Moustache so that they perfectly blend into your Beard. There should be no distinction between your Moustache and Beard, it should be one beautiful whole.
