Every man, at some point in their life, undertakes a great experiment and grows his first beard or facial hair. For some, it is an instant hit. But, for many, that initial experiment is the wrong style of facial hair for them. Taking into account the shape of your face, the style of your clothing, and your willingness to upkeep your new facial hair, Hunch will match you with the perfect facial hair look. Trim goatees, chinstraps and soul patches fit very different people than full hipster beards, long old man beards or Walt Whitman-esque forests of facial hair.
