A scruff is a man's facial hair style that is short and unkempt, typically growing on the lower cheeks, jawline, and neck. It's a casual and rugged look, often considered less formal than a full beard.
Types of Scruff:
- Short Scruff: This is the most common type, with hair that is just a few millimeters long. It's easy to maintain and gives a slightly rough texture to the face.
- Medium Scruff: This style features longer hair than short scruff, but still shorter than a full beard. It's a more noticeable look and can be styled with different shapes.
- Long Scruff: This style is longer and more defined than medium scruff, often reaching down the neck and sides of the face. It's a more mature look and requires more maintenance.
Scruff vs. Beard:
- Scruff: Short, unkempt, casual.
- Beard: Longer, more defined, can be styled in various ways.
