Hello ! I was wondering if you have some sort of tutorial and/or advise for the beard ? (Like a favourite brand? How to fix it? How to take care of it?)... Thank you !

TIME FOR BEARD ADVICE!

I personally get my fuller beards from Maskworld in Germany (good quality synthetic hair and lace) but I’m sure there are other places out there depending on where you live. I make smaller pieces like moustaches or my Gilmore-inspired beard(x) myself with a ventilating needle, wig lace, and cheap hair extensions. These things are available via ebay or Amazon.

-If you’re wondering whether to buy or make a beard, consider the time vs cost aspect. Good Maskworld beards generally go 35-45€ for example, which may sound like a lot, but it will save you the hecking long time investment of making it from scratch. But if you HAVE time and want to save money and to learn a new skill, then by all means make one yourself! Both of these options are infinitely preferable to glueing chunks of crepe hair to your face. For the love of god, do not just glue crepe hair to your face, no matter how many beard tutorials there are for it, you’ll be miserable and itchy and shed all day. INVEST in a good beard and save 2 hours of prep time on the day of the con.

-The adhesive I use is called PROS-AIDE and is so, SOOOOOO much nicer than spirit gum or liquid latex. It stays slightly sticky rather than drying and going crusty like spirit gum, so you can readjust it or poke your beard back into place. If sweat starts to make bits of the beard un-stick, you can use a bit of rubbing alcohol on a q-tip to clean the affected area (this removes the sweat without removing the glue), and with a dab more pros-aide it’ll hold even better than before.

-To take care of your beard, clean the lace with rubbing alcohol before you put it on. When taking it off, brush the lace with your adhesive remover (again I strongly recommend pros-aide) and leave it for a bit. I find that since pros-aide leaves a rather gummy texture on the lace afterwards, you can carefully press and drag the edges of the lace down a mirror to get the residue off. And then clean with rubbing alcohol again.

-Preferably keep your beard pinned on a wig head, but if you need to pack it away then store it flat in a large plastic bag so the lace doesn’t stick to itself. If possible slide it in with something thin and flat so the lace won’t stick to the bag when you need to get it out.

-If adhesive has gotten into the beard itself and made it stiff or weird, let the affected area soak in remover for a while and pick the bits out with tweezers before brushing it out gently.

IN SHORT:

-Buying your own beard will save you time, making your own beard will save you money

-If you love yourself, do not glue loose crepe hair to your face

-Pros-aide is a good alternative to spirit gum, worth checking out.

-Use rubbing alcohol to clean the beard lace before and after application

Hope that helps a bit!

Haven´t updated in a while, hey!

I´ve been doing a lot of ventilating work lately, here´s the most recent project I finished! It´s a gift for my friend @askaphcelt and I´ll be posting pictures of them in the beard when we meet up at J-popcon in April!
