A portmanteau of 'beard' and 'dandruff' that describes the flaky, dry skin that collects in a person's beard — the facial-hair equivalent of the scalp condition everyone recognises. As beards became fashionable in the 2010s, beardruff became a legitimate grooming concern, spawning a small industry of beard oils, balms, and exfoliants. The word is fun, relatable for anyone who grows a beard, and has been widely adopted in grooming culture with exactly the self-aware humour it deserves.
He invested in a good beard oil after noticing an embarrassing amount of beardruff on his dark shirt.
