Beard and Wig
The beard makes the Santa
Your beard is the most recognisable part of Santa Claus. Treat it dilligently and with great care. Always place your beard and wig back in it’s carry case after using. A good beard can last for many years if you treat with love.
Quick Freshen up
After every shift, you might find your beard and wig needs a quick freshen up. This is if your beard is sweaty or moist.
Dry Completely
Dry your wig and beard flat overnight. Do not under any circumstances leave a sweaty beard/wig in a plastic bag. It can actually turn mouldy.
Best Option
Dry Shampoo. We like the Batiste brand. You can get dry shampoo from any supermarket or chemist. Spray the dry shampoo over your dry beard. Again, it must be dry. Massage
the dry shampoo spray into your beard.
It will absorb any oils, and freshen the smell. It’s also great for mid-shifts.
Second Option
Baby Powder. You can use baby powder to freshen your beard, but it’s thicker than dry shampoo and can leave “chunks” of dried chalky powder.
