My facial hair, like my head hair is untamable, and I keep my moustache trimmed (less it falls into my mouth). Yes, the beard does catch odd pieces of food, which is why napkins and washing after meals is paramount.

[@foldionepapyrus3441]

@@animemangalover94 For me its not the mustache that tries to get into the mouth much when I don't bother to trim for ages, those hairs stick out and more parallel to the mouth naturally. It is the beard hairs from up nearer the ears/cheek that curls into the mouth most and gets me to finally trim the beard in annoyance most of the time. And compared to shaving every damn day so your face feels like course sandpaper much of the time as the pesky stuff grows back so fast, a beard is no contest massively less annoying.

As someone, who has braided at least 3 hairbeards myself (at a company party 😂), I recommend you make the mustache by braiding two pieces of hair through eachother.

I imagine that beards changed depending on what was in fashion, so one season plates/braids were fashionable and next season it was curled. Future generations of dwarves could date a painting by how a beard was styled. “That’s so second age”! Gimli said.

[@frostedjosieos3193]

As someone who has watched every minute of behind the scenes content on both LOTR and The Hobbit potentially more than I’ve watched the actual films, as well as in the study of theatrical costuming and hair/wig styling, I feel especially tuned to answer your question: I never saw dwarves with beards in curlers, though I occasionally saw a wig clipped up. I don’t think having a perfectly quaffed and curled beard is as important to dwarves as the shiny bits, which are often family heirlooms. On the other hand, the elves, whose hair somehow always hangs in a gloriously straight and glistening sheet down their back, you could often see was often in a stocking prior to shooting beginning. Orlando Bloom iconically would ponytail his wig and wear a bandanna on top. Haute Elvish couture.

beard hair is a different texture to your straight shiny hair. Crimping would probably be the closest and allow you to use less hair as it appears fuller, and then adding a texturizer would probably help with the manageability of the whole process. Although maybe female dwarves have soft silky beards?

Wearing bright red lipstick for this video- bold move!

[@charlottec5802]

Many years ago we had a beard competition in honour of Hagrid's birthday at my university's Harry Potter Society. Many of us sported hair beards and I'm sure there's a photo on Facebook somewhere... If only we had this video back then, our efforts would've been so much better!

I like the dwarf beards with quite a few braids varying and size (with the largest one in the middle of course) and elaborately blending into eachother at the forefront of a background of curly hair

I am absolutely living for this! I lost my composure several times throughout these lovely shenanigans.

Bernadette, been watching your videos for years and even though I am hetero dude I so appreciate all the cool effort you put into these. This was an amazing topic to take on, and kudos for you doing it and taking back what rightfully belongs to us true Tolkien fans. My thought was when you had the mustache part in place, instead of trying to knot the beard in front, tucking the hair behind the mustache and using that to hold the beard into place although I recognize that would add strain on the mustache, but maybe it would work better to cover up the chin and just under the lips.

As the great Sean Lock once said, "That's a challenging wank." :)

Bernadette you are not dwarf. You are Delicate Lady. You will also have less health problems with your slim silhouette in the future. 0:00 - 12:05: GRWM: Qatar World Cup for western ladies in a muslim world :/ 3:20: Bernadette is way more hardcore with hair spray than Karolina Żebrowska. 3:49: Bernadette features Nikita or Trinity style :O!

Completely whimsical video that is very fun! And your fun ads always ensure I don't skip them. Alas I find anything more than stubble uncomfortable so shaving ensures smooth breathing. The final dwarf beard results looks nice - though the mustache is definitely a mess lol. Maybe settle for a goatee? 🤣 Obviously, heavy dwarf beards are the thing. Beard maintenance ensures that crumbs don't stay in the beard - there are combs and oils and everything.

My late Sphynx is the one who made me grow a beard, he absolutely loved face rubbing my stubble and beard, and I have not shaved since he passed away on the 3rd of january 2022. 3 days after a tumour was discovered in his chest.

[@spacecat_scribbles]

oh I love this!! the bottom beard part especially looks nice! thank you for giving us the fabulous dwarf lady beards that rings of power denied us

[@billy101cat]

The Banner siblings bringing joy to the world, thank you!

[@rolez]

I love how the start of every video looks so professional .... and then it's chaos

[@annicerader6021]

The fact that your sibling requested this and you are such a nerd enough to do it is amazing. I love LOTR and this video made my day. I really like the lady dwarf beard 2nd from the left bottom row. It is a beard yes, but it isn't so much that it masks the lady features. On that note be safe and best of luck. ❤️

[@batterbury4477]

thank you for the fearless over the top creative goofball experiment. I have been laughing the whole time.

[@KBTibbs]

My fondness for Bernadette Banner shenanigans grows with each additional shenan accomplished. Also, Dani has the best ideas.

I'm just having a flashback from Rachel Maksy and her Gandalf cosplay :D

[@gleann_cuilinn]

Tolkien's dwarves almost all had names that came directly from Old Norse: Dvalin, Balin, Thorin, and the rest. So I think a dwarf should wear his or her beard like the Vikings used to: sometimes loose and flowing, sometimes short or in a goatee, and sometimes braided in one or multiple strands. There was a famous Viking king who was nicknamed "Forkbeard". I like when dwarves' beards are forked in two or three parts

[@vleath1119]

I was reading over the comments and I agree that lots of braids would be a thing I would see a lot in lady dwarf beards, and I love that idea!! Also, I have really short hair so I was imagining giving myself a hair beard like I had when I was younger and had really long long hair! It was so fun and I loved giggling at this video which was lots of fun!!

[@MeowlodieHL]

Thank you. We all needed this.

[@Lokster71]

This video made me feel that my beard is insufficiently baroque. If that's the right word.

[@Michael-if6my]

Truly a glorious beard! You would make a fine dwarven woman

[@jhardman1876]

whoever does the captions really outdid themselves with this one. 10/10 stars

Just going to say: the ghost of crumbs past is an awesome statement!
