The chin curtain beard (or Donegal) is a particular style of facial hair that grows along the jaw line and covers the chin completely. This is not to be confused with the chinstrap beard—a style of beard that also grows along the jaw line, although does not fully cover the man's chin. This style of facial hair was made famous by individuals such as Abraham Lincoln. It is also worn by married Amish men.
