A lot of old guys have white beards… I’m one.
My beard can make me look a lot of ways, like an old biker, or old hippie, or a mountain man… but my favorite look, BY FAR, is looking like Santa Claus.
Here’s the best part; as you will see in this video, my beard can go from looking VERY scraggly to looking like a Santa Claus perfect beard in less than 5-minutes.
I initially conducted this Santa Claus beard grooming demonstration on how to make your white beard look like a Santa Claus perfect beard on a Facebook ‘live’ session. If you are a Santa or Mrs. Claus portrayal artist, you can join this private group here- https://www.facebook.com/groups/theworldwidesantaclausnetwork/
This is the video…
As you can see, grooming your beard to look like Santa Claus is quick & easy.

Sounds like a travel hairdrier should be just about right.
I never use spray on my beard. When kids touch it, it must feel stiff. When I do my mall gigs it’s for 6+ weeks, 7 days a week. The only thing I put on my beard is just a touch of beard oil or a touch of hair gloss. That way it is soft, natural and supple and kids can touch it all they want. The little ones like to snuggle in it.
I trim my beard with scissors and thinning shears. Fortunately my beard is curly and full. I keep mine at about 6 to 8 inches in length and trim the sides by the ears (that’s where the thinning shears come in).
As a professional, beard trimming and grooming is something you have to learn or have professionally done. If a beard is too thin, a perm will make it curly and fuller. I like to be able to step out of the shower, dry my hair and beard and be photo ready without having to worry about sprays and gunk.
I have received compliments from the photographers, other Santas and many parents on my beard.
Or, if a child touches your beard you can simply whisper… “I sprayed it with some of Mrs. Claus’ hairspray.” 🙂
