This document provides tips for growing, trimming, and maintaining a Van Dyke beard style. It recommends growing out a normal beard to 3mm and then trimming it into the Van Dyke shape. The rest of the face should be clean shaven. When trimming, the neck and lower chin should be shaven to maintain the shape of the goatee. The mustache can be narrow, long or short, curled up or down depending on length and desired look. A Van Dyke requires less maintenance than other styles since there is no set shape or length.
