Shahid Kapoor's king-size beard and 'do mannerisms have had quite a run at the grooming track. Over years of growth and sporadic snipping, we've seen them in full bloom, in handlebar versions, stubble variants, high/low fades, being paired with buzz cuts/undercuts and even snapped alongside numerous women. He's married now, with a consistent beard/mane and that's all that matters (though, we do miss his experimental phase). That said, he's shown enough #Inspo for a Grooming Textbook anyway and well, has even clicked them at various locations (his Porsche, green room, the loo). Summing it up, here are our favourite selfie moments of Mr. Kapoor, that can easily pass off as his career's biggest Grooming Highs.

1. Kicking off the list with his first few gym selfies, albeit with a photobomb of a random uncle. Of course, featuring his almost-there handlebar and low cut fade.

2. Take two: A Wednesday afternoon bright-lit car selfie, flaunting his casually contoured (but scruffy) beard and a side-swept undercut phase.

3. Rewinding back to Shahid's car journey, on way to his first day on the sets of Padmavati, that gave us a major lesson on how to connect our sideburns to the beard. A selfie, that can easily be mistaken for a #VoteDay upload too.

Day 1. #padmavati wish me luck guys.

4. His next big Grooming moment, that was the talk of town because of his spot-free face, hydrated/well blow dried mane and well, pro-selfie skills of a movie star.

5. Shahid Kapoor's prep for Udta Punjab, that quickly fell into our Grooming Hall of Fame at an instant. 10 brownies for spotting anything non-badass about this!

Coming soon.

6. His not so recent, but impeccable version of a short, spiked 'do that gave a clear message of 'No Hair Wax Needed'. Plus, a barely-there stubble that's a clear representation of the actor's happy phase.

Morning all. â¤ï¸

7. Talking of Shahid's happy phase, here's proof of his decision to contour his beard before hitting the gym and satisfying every grooming hormone within us. Don't miss the T-shirt!

Always be ...

8. Next up, a mirror selfie that looks like a glorious example of a regulation cut, but thanks to our pro-eyes, is actually a pulled-back short ponytail moment. As usual, the beard's a little too groomed to be spotted at the gym.

Thanks for 9 milli. In a floaty mood today. Legs day. #wolfmode #feelthefloatride ððð

9. His low-fade selfie, that's a reminder of the times when short spikes were the rage. Clearly, he was mastering grooming moves, then too.

10. Time for Mr. Kapoor's goofy skills, that are making friends his with loungy, casual, loose but well-maintained fringe. Not forgetting, his medium-length stubble.

11. Coming up now, the actor's most boyish-yet-manly look till date. A clean-shaven approach, short (but royal-level) handlebar and short strands to complete the look. A big example of a 'do that'll reverse your age!

Mid shoot chill time.

12. Shahid's overgrown variant of a well-waxed pompadour, that's always game for change for the next movie role. Well, not mentioning his excellence at the beard game here. What trimmer does he even use?

Night out.

13. Ending our list with another selfie with his wifey-dear, that's shutting every theory that defines hard beard lines as the only path to grooming success.
