Buh-bye beard baubles, hello?‘glitter beards’ — Last year’s beard baubles have given way to flashy “glitter beards,” ie, gobs of glitter smoothed through manly bristles, resulting in some seriously dazzling ‘dos. *(Photo: Instagram/TheGayBeards)*

Yep, glitter isn’t just for girls — These super-sparkly bearded bros are enough to make a glitter-loving crafter cheer. Sheesh, these guys are more lit than a Christmas tree! And we’re loving that the brows got some glitzy love here, too. *(Photo: Instagram/Callidus)*

?Sparkle out with your bearded self — We’re all about guys getting crazy creative with their hair (remember this unicorn beard tutorial?), especially since most of the wilder hair tutorials are aimed at the ladies — like the recent “glitter roots” trend. F’real, glitter is a THING this year! *(Photo: Instagram/TheGayBeards)*

We feel your holiday spirit! — Manly men, go on and make a seasonal style statement with your beard. We, and all other glitter-loving makers, will support your twinkly stubble. *(Photo: Instagram/PagliacciPhotography)*

Bling it out it: Pink, multicolors, sparkles, you name it! — Whether it’s wizard-like or in-between like this pink bedazzled dude, just go for it, guys. And why not match your newly lustrous beard to your sleekest shades? *(Photo: Instagram/StrongestLinkLGBT)*

Um, we don’t really recommend putting glitter on your tongue though. — That’s taking the glitter beard trend just a little too far. Please don’t swallow! *(Photo: Instagram/Blaurent_)*

Short ‘n’ blue = uber-cool — Bonus points for the sequin jacket, man! *(Photo: Instagram/Sizemorenick)*

Did this dude even have a beard before? — Or did he just “grow” one with glitter? No matter: Looking sparkling-fine, dude! *(Photo: Instagram/Rossygtz)*

Okay, there’s more than glitter here, but… — Just yes. Yes to ALL OF THIS. *(Photo: Instagram/TheGayBeards)*
