Holiday Beard Decorating Ideas
Be the talk of your next Christmas party with these 8 ideas:
1. Go with Glitter
Beard glitter is great for nearly any occasion, but at the holidays, it’s a must. It’s relatively easy, low-cost, and it will transform your beard into a shimmering, Christmas-y showpiece. Green, red or gold glitter looks best!
How to Do It: Apply a quarter-sized dab of beard oil evenly throughout your beard. Then, add glitter (it clings to the oil). A spritz of hairspray is the last step to hold everything in place.
2. Add a Pine Fresh Scent
This might not be the showiest of beard decorations, but a dash of pine or cedar beard oil adds some holiday cheer to a Christmas ensemble.
How to Do It: Try our Tree Homage or Cedar Honor beard oils. Both have smooth, classic scents that will match a holiday look.
3. Decorate with Ornaments
A few holiday seasons ago beard ornaments were a big hit! These days, you’ll find dozens of low-cost ornament sets for your beard. But if you're feeling crafty, you can DIY your own beard ornaments.
How to Do It: Find some lightweight plastic bulbs, and replace the hooks with mini claw hair clips. Then, you’re all set! Just clip them in place and your beard will start turning heads.
4. Try a Mistletoe Mustache
This look is the perfect conversation starter! All you need is a sprig of fake mistletoe and you’re good to go. This is a must if you're headed to a holiday party with friends.
How to Do It: Glue a hair clip to the back of the mistletoe, and clip it into place over your mustache.
5. Light It Up
Some flashing X-mas lights brighten up any beard. Fortunately, there are tons of amazing low-cost options available. For this look, all you’ll need is a small, battery-operated light string and a few clips.
How to Do It: Choose a light string with a lightweight battery pack. Then, string the light strand around your beard however you please and use some alligator clips to hold it in place.
6. Go Full Santa
Santa Claus might be the world’s most famous bearded guy, and if you have a full, long beard, this is the look for you. Fortunately, giving yourself a Santa beard isn’t too difficult. All you need is some white dye, some Santa glasses, and of course, a red hat.
How to Do It: Use some white dye to color your beard. If it’s long enough, throw in some curlers for a more authentic look. Just be sure you have the attire to match!
7. Turn Your Beard Into a Wreath
Pick up some evergreen leaves, some holly berries, a pine cone or two, and you’ve got everything you need to make a beard wreath. If you have a longer beard, you can even shape it into a circular shape with a hole in the middle.
How to Do It: Create a background with some green dye. Then add all the wreath fix-ins, like holly berries, pine cones, evergreen leaves and brunches of pine needles. A splash of Tree Homage beard oil is a must, as well.
8. Add Some Candy Canes
Lots of people hang candy canes in their Christmas trees. Why not hang some in your beard? It’s super easy to pull off, and wherever you go, you’ll have candy canes to pass out to friends.
How to Do It: Use your beard brush to fluff your beard and make it bushier. Small candy canes will sit right in your beard.
