Ties are great, as are candles, but that doesn’t mean your dad will want them for Father’s Day. In fact, I’m pretty sure he won’t—even if he tries to convince you otherwise.

What he will like though is something to treat his tash, wash his whiskers, or strengthen his spartan. Which is why I’ve been speaking with the grooming gurus at Mad Viking to come up with a handy gift guide especially for dads with beards.

Whether your pops is a seasoned aficionado or just starting to grow out his stubble, keep reading to uncover a line-up of excellent ideas that are sure to put a smile on his face.

Key Takeaways

Father’s Day is fast approaching (it’s Sunday 16 June, should you need a reminder) and you’re still looking for the perfect gift. Sure, you could play it safe with some socks and a classic cologne, but doesn’t your dad deserve better?

In this article, which you can also use as a gift-it-yourself guide, I’ll be taking you through some excellent alternatives for dads that are rocking facial fuzz. From beard oils and butters to soaps and shampoos, here you’ll discover Mad Viking’s must-haves for taking care of your chops, chin, and Chevron.

For softer, better hydrated facial hair, dad will need a decent beard oil. More specifically, this one. Non-greasy and natural, it’s made with organic nutrient-rich oils and boasts a smooth, subtle scent that’s enough to notice but won’t overpower.

Suitable for all beard types, from Hemsworth to Hagrid, it works by locking in moisture and goodness while protecting hair from the elements and keeping it oh-so soft.

Mad Viking’s beard oils come in various different scents, from the tropical Dragonshead to the citrusy Ragnorak. If you’re not sure which one dad will like best, you can let him try them all (it’s excellent value for money). This sample kit contains 15 different options. They all have the same beard-boosting benefits, just a different smell.

Designed to soften, shape, and soothe, the Valhalla beard balm is perfect for dad’s who are looking to take their grooming game to the next level. Packed with seven nutrient-rich hydrating oils, from butter to waxes, the natural, cruelty-free formula provides a medium to heavy hold that’ll help the old man finally release his inner Viking.

The Mad Viking beard balm also comes in 15 different scents. You could ask mom which one you think pops would like, but if she’s not sure either, let him give them all a go with this sample kit. There’s amber aromas, spicy smells, and plenty of fruit fragrances to try.

Non-greasy with a light hold, this butter will banish beardruff once and for all, while helping hair to grow strong and healthy. Formulated with all-natural ingredients, it locks in moisture, eradicates itching, and leaves behind a subtle but empowering scent of sandalwood and vanilla.

For freshening up facial hair, a few squirts of Head & Shoulders simply won’t do. What’s required is a bottle of the good stuff—aka Mad Viking’s biotin beard wash. Designed to stimulate growth and restore goodness, it’s full of vitamins, oils, and proteins that’ll nourish hair, fortify strands, and fix damage.

The health and strength of a beard is a direct result of the products used. Which is why this Valhalla beard conditioner will make a brilliant Father’s Day gift. Full of beard-bolstering benefits that strengthen, thicken, and fix all types of facial hair, it’s cruelty-free and completely natural—not forgetting it smells really great.

Technically this is two gifts in one, so it’ll earn you extra brownie points that you can save up for the next time you need a ride into town. Designed to gently cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize your body and hair, it’s a mildly scented soap that ensures a healthy beard and soft skin.

You’ll be making both parents happy with this grooming gift idea, seeing as dad won’t have to keep stealing mom’s expensive shampoo anymore. Made with seven organic extracts that soften and hydrate, it can be used on the head and beard, giving them a thorough clean while keeping natural moisture locked in.

If pops is bald, it’ll have been a while since he last used a brush or comb. So, this next Father’s Day gift idea will bring nostalgia as well as pleasure and a better looking beard. Designed to glide through without tangling, it’ll reduce breakage and split ends while distributing oils and leaving behind a silky smooth feel.

Complete with a beard oil, butter, wash, and conditioner, this grooming kit is the ultimate gift for dad’s with beards—not to mention it works out cheaper than buying everything separately. Bursting with beard-loving goodness, you can choose a different scent for each product and you’ll even get a Wolf Pack sticker that’ll look awesome on the front of the old man’s laptop.

Top Tips for Growing a Better Beard

Be Patient: Growing a great beard takes time, so be patient and resist the urge to trim too early. Let it grow for at least 4-6 weeks to see its full potential.

Healthy Diet: A balanced diet rich in vitamins and proteins can promote healthy hair growth, including your beard. Consider adding foods like nuts, eggs, and leafy greens to your meals.

Regular Washing: Keeping your beard clean is essential for healthy growth. Use Mad Viking’s beard shampoo to wash it regularly, ideally 2-3 times a week.

Moisturize: Just like the hair on your head, your beard needs moisture. Apply beard oil or balm daily to keep it soft, hydrated, and smelling great.

Brush and Comb: Brushing or combing your beard helps to distribute natural oils evenly, preventing tangles and promoting smoother growth.

Trimming and Shaping: Regular trimming is key to maintaining a neat appearance. Invest in good quality beard scissors or a trimmer and trim along your beard’s natural lines.

Patience with Patchiness: Not all beards grow evenly, especially at first. Be patient with patchy spots—they’re likely to fill in over time as your beard grows longer.

Regular Grooming: Apart from trimming, beards should be kept neat by regularly grooming stray hairs and keeping the neckline clean.

Exercise and Sleep: Regular exercise and a good night’s sleep can contribute to overall health and help stimulate beard growth.

Seek Professional Help: For those struggling to grow a beard or want more tailored advice, consider consulting a dermatologist or a professional grooming expert.
