8 Of The Best Beard Straighteners That Will Change Your Grooming Routine (2022 Edition)

There are two types of guys in this world. 

Guy 1: “How have I gone my whole life without the wizarding wonders of this beard straightener? Two words: game-changer.” 

Guy 2: “Wait… beard straighteners are a thing?”

If you’re in the latter camp, welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. If the former, you still stand to learn a thing or two about the best beard straighteners available to you today. With many options ranging from brush to comb, these marvels of the men’s grooming world are essentially a hybrid of a flat iron and a beard brush. Used properly, they can help keep your unruly face mane in check and allow you to more seamlessly apply things like beard oils and other products.  

To help you untangle the endless options out there, take a look at our picks for the 8 best beard straighteners on the market today. 

When it comes to keeping your beard majestically billowing across your face for all the world to marvel at, it’s not enough to leave it to a popularity contest. Still… there’s something to be said for the mostly positive opinions of over 6,000 people. Many Amazon reviewers cite that Cayzor’s straightener has excelled where previous purchases have failed.

From a technical standpoint, it reaches temperature in about a minute, features a heat-resistant silicone coating, and has an auto-off feature that kicks in after 30 minutes. The price point is also competitive compared to similar products.

This straightening stick from Wild Willies is your new go-to if your facial hair doesn’t like to play nice. While its heat settings will be suitable for any beard styles or hair (we love the 2-in-1 option), its non-scalding tech really stands out. With three heat settings, this one is designed to detangle the unruliest of beards. 

And its ion technology generates heat at a much faster clip than other options, allowing you to reduce the dreaded bathroom routine by a crucial minute or two. It also has an auto shut-off feature if your mind happens to wander too far in the direction of the date you’re getting ready for. 

True to its name, Aberlite’s pocket beard straightener is super compact, making it the perfect size to toss in your carry-on or trunk before traveling. Whether you’re hitting the road for business or pleasure, this pint-sized beard tamer will keep you looking polished with its five heat settings that reach temperature in about a minute.

If you’ve got a shorter beard, you’ll be happy to hear that it also features a dense bristle design, making it suitable for any length of facial hair. 

Sure, you don’t have to charge corded beard straighteners, but sometimes you just want to tame your beard without bobbing and weaving around an unruly cord. Enter this solidly constructed cordless option from Vikicon. 

It features most of the bells and whistles that you’ll find with other straighteners on this list, such as auto shut-off, multiple heat settings, and fast heating ion technology. You’re also working with a helpful LED display for monitoring temperatures, plus an anti-static coating that helps reduce uncomfortable tugging. And did we mention it’s cordless?

Arkham’s contribution to our list is the total package. You’re getting the straightener itself with Arkam’s Single Stroke Technology (SST) specifically designed to tame your mane one section at a time with a single stroke. But you’re also getting a wooden comb and a handsome case to tote it all around in. 

The cord swivels as you move, allowing you to focus on grooming rather than untangling yourself. And not to be one-upped by other fast-heating straighteners on this list, its no-scald ceramic plates heat up in around 30 seconds. This kit would make a great gift with its comb and case, even if it’s for you.   

Is this a beard straightener? Yes. Kind of. Pretty much. Probably. Anyway, the general look, feel and design of this golden wonder are anything but standard. But looks aside, this straightening comb packs a performance punch — it heats up quickly, has a tangle-free cord, and features a whopping 20 heat settings. 

The 38300 is best for a confident guy who prioritizes performance and comfort over what his straightener looks like. Plus, Andis has been in the styling game for over 80 years, which speaks to the product’s construction and ability to stand up to any beard in its path. 

Coming in at roughly $13, this is by far one of the most budget-friendly of our best beard straighteners. And bonus: you’re not giving up many of the features that are available with some of the higher priced mane tamers. You’ve still got ionic technology working to keep your beard straight without being damaged. You’ve still got a relatively fast heat time at around two minutes. And you’ve still got an anti-static coating for a smooth stroke. 

But if you’re looking for multiple heat settings, that’s where Bilaro’s price point will start to make more sense. Though it will likely be more than adequate depending on your beard, this straightener only has one heat setting. 

Aberlite makes its second appearance on our list with the EDC, and for good reason — especially if you’ve got a long beard. Coming in at just under two inches wide, this magic mane wand is designed for maximum efficiency when it comes to grooming longer beards. And with five heat settings — the highest of which is 430-degrees — it’s not only ready to take on long beards but curly and unruly ones as well.

If you fit that description, the EDC will likely suit you well. That said, it’s more of a niche product and works best on beards two inches or longer. If you have a shorter beard, there are better options out there for you.  

What to look for in a beard straightener 

Portability

Beard straighteners come in all shapes and sizes. If you travel a lot — be it for work or pleasure — take note of the device’s size. Several straighteners are designed specifically for travel. Others are more universally designed but maintain a manageable size for tossing in a carry-on. It’s also worth checking out cordless models, which are that much more convenient and portable.

Heat control 

This is one of the more crucial considerations when picking out the best beard straightener for you. Generally, the higher the temperature setting, the better the straightener will be at taming long, curly, and unruly beards. If your facial hair fits that description, make sure the beard straightener you choose has a setting that approaches 400 degrees at a minimum. For shorter beards, heat setting options should be considered less of a deciding factor. 

Width

How wide your beard straightener is should directly correlate to how long (and wide) your beard is. More beard means more real estate to tame. So it only makes sense to seek out a wider plate width to help speed up the process and cover more ground as efficiently as possible.
