Coloring your beard-i.e getting older-what works?
 

Hello.
Getting older and it sux.
I use -Just For Men- on my beard. I gotto hide the grays. My beard looks like ****e without a constant color.
I am not satisfied with this product as it misses some and some fibers seem untouchable to the dye, or whatever they use?
Anyone there from the states have better luck with another product?

I just leave mine grey.. Just go with it Brother..

Good beard.
You must be married and your wife is in full acceptance.
I'm single and wish to catch something, someday.
I need all the help I can get.

If only it was just gray! Mine is several colors and just looks funny so stopped growing a beard a while back. Maybe its all gray now so should try again...

Women prefer natural looks. They can tell when you dye.

Man up.

Nope, single, the Girl I was dating wanted me to grow it, takes about a month to fill out like that. Other women liked it too, Lots of quality women like a grey beard, we are distinguished... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1343710101.jpg

I disagree. Sorry.
If it were true , they'd place that among themselves.

Nice.

Lets see the beard, there are a few women here, & a couple of guys who play for the other team, let them tell you what THEY like..
I let this same girl have my hair colored, some women liked it, others made it clear they liked my Grey better, me, I like my Grey, guess because I have had it so long.

I've heard the term- distinguished- about the subject so often.

I say it's because the female' companion' feels younger and looks younger as being opposed for it and it works for her.

Who cares! I love the grey in mine and I'm not even 40 yet.

Dyed looks like arse imho. It screams, "I'm getting old and can't deal with it...so I try in vain to hide who I really am."

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

I do.

I'd still like to know what works.
I still have to chase and subdue a chickey some day soon.

I get some sort of color rinse when I get a haircut. It reduces but does not eliminate the grey. Don't know what it is called, the hair shop does it. Why not consult your hair dresser?

Supposedly, the whole point of that Just for Men product is that it doesn't color every single hair in your beard. That makes for a more natural look.

I'm sure you can find a product that colors it all, but it would end up looking pretty unnatural... like this one, which almost looks glued on:

It may be for the top of your head, but it should work and fill in any thin spots on your beard as well!

OMG No wonder he always wore that beret !

Women like confidence, and chivalrous behavior.

My beard is solid white and has been since my early 40's, yeah it makes me look my age, oh well I have earned every single one of those white hairs. It is who you are, don't fight it, embrace it, and if a woman is so hung up that she can't be seen with a guy with a grey beard, is that really someone you would want, for more then just an evening?

There is much to be learned from this. These "chicks" dont think you are manly enough.

I think JYL suggested an interesting idea.... the so-called "rinse" treatment that women use at hair salons is very expensive (~$40 for one treatment that doesn't last very long), but many women buy "rinses" for a reasonable price at the big drug stores, and do their own treatments at home whenever they want, and nobody knows. Maybe you could take a look at those products to see what's available in your hair color, and give it a try? If the rinse works for you, then you could probably use it once a week and be fine.

I have no idea why it's called a "rinse"... and we never had this conversation. ;)

That pretty much sums up El-Lay and Hollyweird...

Another full Greybeard hear. I have had a full beard for about 35 years. It is 100% Grey for the last 10 years. Actually it is not Grey, it is CHROME!. ;)

Some of Al Reed's work?

Mine started turning gray about 5 years ago. I just keep it very short.

Drying your hair or beard doesn't foul no one......now you are just the old guy who dries his beard. Get over it if the women has a problem with the color of your hair then she not worth wasting too much of your time.

So are ya gonna change your name? :D

lmao!!!

Why cultivate on your face what grows wild around your arse. Just shave!

I trim there too...

There is still some red in there...looks more pink these days...:D

I actually took the Avatar and made one which was gray...

Happy? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1343767791.gif

This. For a couple of years I used the Just for Men beard coloring. Worked well with for me, but what a hassle. Had to use it every week. Finally just quit and keep my beard (actually a goatee) clipped very short.

Men who dye their beard and hair are only fooling themselves. Everybody knows it and only a really good friend will tell you that it looks silly. You have been dealt a hand of cards, you don't get to reshuffle the deck. Live with it or shave it. My beard is 3 colors grey almost grey and black, it matches my hair( what's left of that). I'm 61 and women my age and as young as in their 40's still find me attractive. Unless yer trying to pick up 20 year olds, and they think yer creepy because you dye yer hair and beard, most women really don't care.

The problem is its obvious. A bit like hair pieces or transplants. And as men somehow we're not allowed the same consideration as women.

If you want to look younger, shave off your beard. Will take off ten years or more. Seriously.

Cheers
