To securely fix the silver beard bead, it's recommended to tie a small beard elastic (transparent or in your hair color) around the strand of hair directly below the bead. This reliably prevents it from slipping. Special beard bead threaders, loop tools, or even a piece of dental floss are particularly helpful for easily threading the bead. Additionally, the hair tip can be shaped beforehand with a little beard balm or wax to make threading easier.
