'Vollbart' (full beard) is a simple compound of the adjective 'voll' (full) and the noun 'der Bart' (beard). So it literally describes a beard that 'fully' covers the face.
Ein Vollbart braucht regelmäßige Pflege.
A full beard needs regular care.
The base word '-bart' (-beard) is combined with many different words to describe beard types. 'Voll-' (full) is only one possibility; others include 'Spitzbart' (goatee/pointed beard), 'Knebelbart' (handlebar moustache), or 'Schnurrbart' (moustache, for the beard only above the lip).
Früher war ein Schnurrbart sehr modern.
In the past, a moustache was very fashionable.
Common verbs used in connection with 'Vollbart' (full beard) are 'einen Vollbart tragen' (to wear/have a full beard), 'sich einen Vollbart wachsen lassen' (to grow a full beard), and 'sich einen Vollbart stehen lassen' (to let a full beard grow).
Er trägt seit Jahren einen beeindruckenden Vollbart.
He has had an impressive full beard for years.

'der Bart' and 'der Vollbart' both refer to facial hair on men. 'Der Bart' is the general term and can look very different: short, long, only on the chin, or in several places on the face. 'Der Vollbart' is more specific. It means a beard that grows continuously over the upper lip, chin, and cheeks. The words can be confused because every full beard is a beard. But not every beard is a full beard. When the shape is important, 'Vollbart' is more precise.
