Partakorut

Having a great big bushy beard takes dedication and there’s a huge difference between a well groomed full beard and the beard of a guy who just got rescued after 6 months on a desert island. For the former kinda guy, his beard is an extension of his character. Deliberate, bold, and handsome. To add a bit of flair to his majestic beard, beard rings, beads, coils, and charms come into play.

Sometimes referred to as Viking beard rings, there’s actually no conclusive evidence that Vikings ever wore them in their beards. Objects have been found at Scandinavian archaeological digs that could have been used for that purpose, but they could just as easily have been decorative beads for shoelaces for all we know. 

Thanks to the popularity of dwarfs and Vikings in popular media, though, the Viking beard ring is here to stay.

But not every bearded man can wear a beard ring. You’ll need to have outgrown your lazy stubble and evolved past your hipster beard to graduate into the majestic land of the full beard – one long enough to tie into a knot under your chin and have about 10 cm left to play with.

Sormukset

Partasormukset ovat yleisin korutyyppi vahvasti parrakkaille miehille. Nämä ovat metallisylintereitä, jotka kiinnitetään hiuslenkin päälle parran kiinnittämiseen.

Helmet

Partahelmet ovat yleensä lyhyempiä ja pyöreämpiä kuin renkaat. Partahelmet tarvitsevat vähemmän karvaa pysyäkseen paikoillaan, koska ne ovat yleensä huomattavasti kevyempiä kuin sormukset.

Kelat

Partakelat ovat avoimia spiraaleja, jotka kiertyvät parran ympärille. Riippuen materiaalista, josta ne on tehty, et välttämättä edes tarvitse lankaa niiden kiinnittämiseen. 

Riipukset

Partariipuksia ei kiedota parran ympärille, vaan ne solmitaan karvojen väliin ja kiinnitetään joko klipseillä tai spiraalinmuotoisilla kiinnikkeillä.

The first thing you’ll have to do before putting your beard ring or bead on is to comb or brush your beard. This will not only eliminate tangles and knots, but it’ll make the process a lot easier and reduce the volume of your beard, providing a more secure base for the ring.

For a simple look, gather your beard under your chin and tie it with an elastic band. Thread a string in a loop through the ring and around your beard. Pull the loop and your beard hair with it through the ring and slide it over the elastic band.

For a true Viking beard ring look, repeat the process 2 or 3 times down the length of your beard.
