Beard Iron

Abstract

A beard iron for straightening beard hairs includes a handle having a proximal end, a distal end, a dorsal side, and a ventral side. A hair iron is coupled to the distal end and comprises a heating plate and a heating element. The heating element warms a bottom side of the heating plate. A power source is coupled to the handle and is in operational communication with the heating element. A guide is coupled to the ventral side proximal the distal end and extends to rest adjacent the bottom side of the heating plate.
