Whether you're channeling a Viking for a costume event or aiming to make a fashion statement, incorporating beard jewelry adds a unique touch to your style. Beard jewelry typically comes in two forms: rings and charms. Rings secure around beard strands using tension, while charms are small pendants that twist in like earrings for your beard. They are available in various designs, colors, and materials, so choose what appeals to your taste. Remember to comb or brush your beard before adding jewelry to prevent knots or tangles.
Essential Information about Beard Jewelry
Here are some tips for easily adding a beard ring or bead: Use a piece of floss or string to create a loop, then slide it through the beard ring's opening. Secure a strand of your beard with a hair tie, tighten the loop around the strand, and pull it through the bead's opening using the loop.
Simple Steps for Beard Jewelry Application
Wearing Beard Rings with Style
How to Tie Beard Rings: Tie a 3–4 inch length of hair with a hair tie under your jaw. Adjust the hair tie's position for desired ring placement. For beard beads, use a 2-inch length of hair. Use a loop of string to thread hair through the ring's opening. Guide the bottom of your beard through the loop. Tilt the ring and loop for better maneuverability.
Making a Loop for Beard Rings: Create a 4–6 inch loop with floss or string. This loop helps thread hair through the ring's tiny opening, ensuring a secure fit.
Threading the Loop: Carefully pass the loop through the beard ring's opening, ensuring the loop extends past the ring's other side.
Passing Your Beard Through the Loop: Squeeze the hair under the hair tie and thread the bottom of your beard through the loop. Tilt the loop and ring for easier threading.
Adjust the Ring Position: Pull the string to move the ring up over the hair tie. Slide the ring up while pulling the loop down. Finish by sliding the ring over the hair tie.
Decorating with Beard Charms
Prepare Your Beard: Use your nondominant hand to pull down and straighten your beard.
Choose the Charm Placement: Hold the charm where you want to place it. Ensure the coil is facing toward you.
Insert the Charm: Rotate the charm while gently pushing it into your beard. Keep your hair pulled down to prevent tangling.
Secure the Charm: Keep rotating the charm until it's firmly in place on your beard. To remove it, rotate clockwise or simply brush it out gently.
