My Villagers' Beard is a bit too magical

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working on a custom model villager. I've added a beard to his model-which is great, however, something about the pivot position or the animations I have set is causing some... err... minor inconveniances? His beard likes to flop around and float, which is cool and all, but also looks terrible!

Here is a picture of the problem in game, if you know what's up, please let me know! I'll be troubleshooting but I'm also relatively new to this.

I can share pictures of my modeling and MCreator if need be.
