Everyone has heard of decorating a tree for the holidays. But if you're a man, what about decorating your beard?
It’s an amusing trend on social media -- posting your beard all decked out with festive ornaments for the holidays.
Dean Banowetz is known as the Hollywood Hair Guy, and he explained more about the fun phenomena.
Many people have attempted to decorate their beards, but it seems none have done it as well as Banowetz.
"I did see some of the pictures with the guys and the baubles in their beard, and I thought, the effort is nice. But if you're gonna do it, do it. Because, from a distance at a dark party, it just looks like you have food in your beard. You want to commit and make people know it’s meant to be," he said.
His commitment extends beyond holiday parties. He is embarking on what he calls the 12 Days of Beard, which so far has included garlands, ornaments, menorahs, a winter wonderland theme, and even two Christmas trees from his one beard.
"Nothing’s ever done until it’s overdone," he said.
