context_page_description: A goatee is a style of facial hair incorporating hair on one's chin but not on one's cheeks. The exact nature of the style has varied according to time and culture.
context_section_description: Until the late 20th century, the term goatee was used to refer solely to a beard formed by a tuft of hair on the chin—as on the chin of a goat, hence the term 'goatee'. By the 1990s, the word had become an umbrella term used to refer to any facial hair style incorporating hair on the chin but not the cheeks; there is debate over whether this style is correctly called a goatee or a Van Dyke.
