I don't know what the word for the Egyptian beard is per se, but the strap-on, fake beard is noted as being called the postiche.
See http://www.wordinfo.info/words/index/info/view_unit/3365
However, upon further research, postiche turns out to be a french word meaning,
1. Something false; a sham.
2. A small hairpiece; a toupee.

I doubt this answers your question. Sorry.
"In death, the kings were frequently portrayed wearing the divine Osird form of the beard, which was a long, narrow beard of several strands plaited like a pigtail with the end jutting forward, as on the gold mask of Tutankhamun. Even deceased non-royal men were shown with short, tuft-like beards. However, this is not a clear cut indication, for the dead king was not always presented with this type of beard. Such beards in ancient Egyptian art, regardless of their context, always appear to represent divine nature, though certainly not all male gods wore such beards." "In ancient times, the resin was scraped from the fur of Goats and Sheep that had grazed on the cistus shrubs. It was collected by the shepherds and sold to coastal traders. The false beards worn by the pharaohs of ancient Egypt were actually the labdanum soaked hair of these goats. Later long poles with leather or cloth strips were used to sweep the shrubs and collect the resin which was later extracted. It was used to treat colds, coughs, menstrual problems and rheumatism." also called a "goat's-hair" beard
