Beard:

Wrap the white yarn around your fingers many times. Tie a knot around the yarn on one of the sides and cut the yarn on the opposite side.
You can leave it like that and trim it to the desired length and shape. Or you can use a very thin comb (I use animal brush) and separate the yarn to its threads.
