6 Beard Accessories (and Counting) - for Beard Enthusiasts

A lot has been written on popular beard care products.
Beard oil? Beard Brush? They're very important tools that every beard man should have.

To spice things up, I've decided to check the market out for lesser known beard accessories that I believe deserve a place in your bathroom cabinet (or wherever you're storing your beard products), and in your house in general

As soon as I hear or find good accessories I'll update this post​ with them.

1. The Beard NINJA - Beard Shaping Tool

​If you want to make clean straight cuts every time this one is for you. 

The Beard Ninja is a beard shaping template that lets you style and shape your beard easily at home. It features a symmetry guide and has a translucent design that lets you line it up perfectly against the beard while trimming.

Some of the cuts that you can achieve with ‘The Beard Ninja’ include the step cut edge, the straight cut edge, straight goatee edge, symmetry guides, nose guides for goatee symmetry, curve goatee edge, the curve cut and the neckline edge.

It has an anti-slip silicon grip that lets you grip it easily even if your palms are wet.

Beard templates are dime-a-dozen in the market. But the Beard Ninja with its transparent design and multiple cut options rates among the best.

If you are struggling to get the clean cut look with sharp sideburns and a neat neckline, this is a must have beard accessory.


2. BEARD KING - The Official Beard Bib

BEARD KING - The Official Beard Bib

For a lot of men, beard trimming also means tedious cleaning of stray hairs that seem to get everywhere. You can do some hacks like spreading out a t-shirt or a towel while trimming, but none of these hacks can really prevent the hairs from going everywhere.

If you want a solution then The Beard King might be the perfect accessory for you.  This is a reversed superman’s cape that will catch all your trimmed hair and allow you to safely dispose it.

It features neck straps on one end that you can tie on your neck and two suction cups on the other end which attaches to the mirror while you groom. The bib extends all the way to the mirror ensuring that nothing escapes it.

When you're done trimming you can just take the bib to the trash can and shake it off. The material of the bib is so soft that it does not trap any tiny hair shavings. Everything just falls off with a simple shake. It also has an integrated pouch which you can use to safely tuck it away for storage when done.

If you're spending an hour vacuuming after you trim your beard, then give the beard king a try.

P.S. This is the original product that was featured on Shark Tank, Insider etc. There are a lot of cheap imitations on Amazon. Beware of them.


3. Beard Grow XL | Facial Hair Supplement

Most men struggling with patchy beard growth are usually asked to be patient and let the beard grow. This can sometimes work and sometimes not. Applying beard oil won't help either, while beard oil does have tons of benefits for your beard, stimulating growth is not one of them.

That’s where facial hair supplements come into the picture. Also known as beard vitamins, these contain a blend of vitamins, minerals and in some cases, DHT blockers which prevent hair fall.

If you have thin or patchy beard, it will start to look a lot thicker on top of that prevention of hair fall always helps.

Beard Grow XL from Delta Genesis is one of the most popular beard growth supplements that can help you achieve that lush and thick looking beard. It has a blend of vitamins that include Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin B1, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, Biotin and Pantothenic Acid (Pro Vitamin B5).

It has a flawless customer rating on most online retail portals. Customers who have used it cannot stop raving about how it has helped them with a healthier and softer beard.

It stopped severe hair fall in some customers who struggled to keep their beard hair on their chin even if they just ran their hands through it.

Delta Genesis is one of the most reputed brands in men’s grooming products and Beard Grow XL is one of their best offerings so far. If you are struggling to grow a dense looking beard, give this a try.

The only possible downside is that the dosage is 3 pills a day. You can however start with a much lower dosage (1 pill) and adjust according to your body’s response to it.


4. Dwarvish Viking Beard Rings

Dwarvish Viking Beard Rings

There’s nothing like some adornment for your beard these days. If you have bushy lumberjacks then why leave it idle? Add some color and some much needed styling with this set of Viking beard rings.

Vikings are in now and beard trinkets and rings were one of their body adornments that were most talked about.

These set of rings draws inspiration from Viking fashion and clubs it with the dwarf beard enhacements of Yore to give you a very stylish accessory that can be worn in more ways than one.

If you have the length, then braid the beard and use one of these as the perfect complement. On the other hand, if you prefer to go the distance, add all five to your beard to really stand out.

The sky is the limit when it comes to styling your beard with these rings. Add some pomade, make a braid, make two braids or use a rubber band.

The rings are made of silver plated metal alloy that is durable and perfect for everyday use. These will not fade or oxidize even if you get into the shower with it. It features celtic filigree that is as authentic as it gets.

Irrespective of whether you need it for cosplay or for upping your fashion quotient, you have just found the best option.

I did a quick price comparison among the best beard rings and found most of them to be priced in excess of $20 a ring. This is a set of five rings that is priced under $30.


5. Disposable Beard Nets

Disposable Beard Nets

While it is not as commonly used as some of the other beard accessories that we have mentioned here, a beard net is a necessity if you work in the food and beverages industry for hygienic reasons. For example, if you are a chef, then wearing a beard net or a snood will prevent the need for you to go under the razor. You can maintain your hipster look while continuing to work in the industry.

It's a comfortable and effective beard net that will prevent any facial hair from falling out. It's made from soft polypropylene and is 100% latex free. An elastic band lets you keep it in position and it fits snugly.


6. Magnetic Poetry - Beard Poet Kit

The kit includes words like: thick, mountain, rugged, and scruffy.
