How to grow a famous beard

Sigmund Freud: "A classic Edwardian beard. Tighter at the sides and longer on the chin. Good if you don't have a strong chin. Long faces should avoid this" Photograph: Everett Collection / Rex Feature Photograph: guardian.co.uk Charles Darwin: "This takes time to grow - hair grows at the rate of half an inch a month. This is a fuller, Edwardian-style beard. Make it tidier by lining it up under the neck and at the cheekbone" Photograph: Hulton Archive Photograph: guardian.co.uk John Lennon: "An unmaintained hippyish beard. I would advise against this as it isn't a beard that's groomed - it only really suits explorers. It didn't suit Lennon becuase he had a long face and the beard made it look longer. Better for round and oval shape faces" Photograph: George Stroud/Hulton Archive Photograph: George Stroud/guardian.co.uk Ho Chi Minh: "Perfect for someone with a round face and a weak chin. Use transparent shaving gel as cream won't enable you to see what you are doing. A small razor should be used to clean up the area between under the bottom lip and just above the beard" Photograph: Hulton Archive Photograph: guardian.co.uk
