DESCRIPTION:
Have you ever thought about colouring your beard? ME TOO! But I have never done it despite the fact that my grey hair is coming in fast and furious.
In fact I have talked to tons of guys who watched my GQ Beard Trimming Videos who have also thought about it and have DM'd me about it . But for a collection of reasons most of us are unsure about trying it out. There seems to be a weird stigma attached and plenty of guys feel a sense of shame about it. Probably doesn't help that there is an army of opinions online shared by guys with incredibly low personal standards and artificially inflated self esteems. However I don't judge you... I'm just here to help.
As it turns out I have a little experience with hair colour! I used to work for a company that was one of the top manufacturers of hair colour in the world. So let me answer as many questions as I can for you about how to successfully colour your beard if that's what you choose to do.

I am 52 and do not mind the gray that I have in my whiskers, but I do realize that in my profession (teacher), there is quite a bit of ageism toward men who are not in admin after age 40 (at least locally). I am looking to change schools and districts, and have wanted to reduce my gray so my potential employer does not think that I have one foot in the grave. I do believe that I will leave my coloring to a professional, as my whiskers are too long...and I would make a mess. Thanks for making me not feel silly for even considering this.

Just discovered this channel ! Fascinating video, as I dye my beard fairly regularly without really knowing very much. I have a short grey beard that I dye a little just to reduce the greyness without removing it all. Unfortunately my skin has started reacting to the dye and causes unbearable itching for about 2 weeks. So I’ll try something organic and see if that helps.

Hey Matty!! Hi from a fellow Vancouverite!! I just found your channel recently when I decided to create my own beard oil, balm, butters, and washes, as I don't like the scents (and high cost) of most of the commercial ones. In my research, of course, the algorithm starts suggesting similar and your channel popped up. Thank you for ALL your great content!! Much appreciated and have already used some of your tips for shaping etc., and my beard is already looking better (self taught here so some professional input helps a lot!!) This was a great video.. The idea of using the semi-permanent over the permanent is a great tip for the top line as it will hopefully fade before the beard starts to look like it is floating (if one is very gray) the beard grows out before one has the chance to touch up the colour. Once my beard has grown out some, I may come by and have one of your senior barbers give me a professional baseline that I can maybe maintain at home. I am pretty good at DIY but not sure if I have shaped my outline properly so would like to see a professional shape it. My last comment is to thank you for the eye-candy. You are a handsome man to begin with, but seeing you shirtless out of the shower was quite a delightful addition... don't blush!! You are a sexy man and you should flaunt it...!! You got a sub from me!! (wink) Take care my friend and thanks again for everything!!

I have been coloring my beard for over 10 years. I have used many products. the men's product just don't work as well as the ladies. I use to have dark brown and now at 70, I would have WHITE hair. So i would recommend trying several different products to find out which one works best. The reason I use a women's product is that one does not have to use the entire product but use a glass to mix a small amount so that an expensive product can last months. I color every two weeks, use a beard conditioner often.

I just picked up something called Volt. What I got is for short beards but works really well and is extremely easy to use. Why color it? My mustache has gone really light grey so it doesn't show up very well now. It's really simple to use, a brush that's like an eyelash brush for women. Shake it, brush/blend it through & you're done - no shower/washing it off, etc. I believe they have one like it for longer beards but I"m not sure (I shopped for it based on *my* beard type). It has to be done frequently but it's really easy to use and not all chem-land, more like how women use their eyelash brushes.

It’s honestly not that much time since it becomes like a routine every month. Which is only 12 times a year. It’s self care and perspective. Not about a girl. It’s for yourself to feel fresh and looking good. 30 minutes of watching tv or doing something you regret like scrolling thru social media can be applied to some self love. I used to think like you but now I take time out everyday and week to put in some effort. It makes a difference in every aspect of life. Have good day

The thing with colouring beards is that you don't have to overdo it, in terms of time, quantity and shade, it is just to soften grey hairs and level discolorations. You don't have to leave the product the time required, just a couple of minutes will do to give it a fresh look without anyone noticing. Don't forget to give the eyebrows a touch too.

I haven't done any research on this topic, but after reading your comment I figured you could possibly get me pointed in the right direction. If there is any information you could offer, I would greatly appreciate it! Take care and I hope you have a wonderful week.

I am way nervous about a permanent color, but am interested in trying the semi permanent. I dont dislike my gray, just kinda want to tone it down a couple of notches. I have a fairly long beard so I wonder if you think there is enough product for a long beard in one unit.

Touch of Gray beard product is hard to find in local stores the past couple years. They used to all have it, now none of them do, particularly for the beard. I have to order online. I have more gray and white in my beard than I "feel," and also people confuse my son and I for brothers, so I don't want to look older than I feel, and my face looks younger for my age (no wrinkles other than around my eyes). That's why I use the Touch of Gray. I have no desire to pretend to be 20, so this product makes me look younger than my birth certificate, and more in line with how I feel. I started using the Touch of Gray for my hair too for the same reason. I get awesomely natural looking results from both products. Very happy with them.

Great tips: using a brush and comb to apply, how to get deeper into the thick growth, touching up with permanent dye, how to keep the adjacent skin from getting dyed... I have been using JfM Control GX for about a year. I leave it on for 20-30 minutes without skin irritation and get a rich brown with natural irregularity. The colour lasts and only requires redoing every couple of weeks to cover new growth. I used JfM Beard&Mustache a couple of months ago. My beard turned nearly charcoal black despite using the medium dark brown shade. I followed the directions to wait 5 minutes after all the hair was coated, but it must have taken me 20 or more minutes to get it applied everywhere. I have gone back to Control GX. It's the best and there is no possibility for error.

In your video I learned some interesting things that I did not know about hair at the molecular level. Thanks! I colored my hair and beard for years, making it dark brown. One Summer when I was 115 I just decided to cut off my long hair that I hadn't cut in 15 years and shave my beard off. Now seemingly just in the last 2 years my beard is gone blinding White, a term that I have come up with to describe it is going full Moses. I have not cut my beard in almost a year, not even trimming it for edging it. What's interesting is when I used to color and trim my beard I would get a lot of young guys saying awesome beard man. Now that I look like I'm going to land a sleigh on your roof and hand out presents I get young women complimenting me on my beard more than I do men. It's just kind of funny. I'm grateful that I still have hair on top and that my beard starts just below my eyes and goes all the way to my toes. LOL

I also get over ten applications with one box . Maybe it doesn’t last quite as long but the most important thing is it looks 100 percent natural.

I started going grey at 30. My beard was almost totally white by 45. I used to color it, because I felt like it aged me too much to have a white beard at such a young age. Recently though, I've embraced it, mostly just because I just don't enjoy the maintenance of keeping the color up. Having a full white beard at my age (54) DOES age me. It's undeniable. However, it's also kind of unique and unusual, and I've learned to love that.

Would be stoked to hear your opinion on the Control GX beard shampoo? The one that applies colour to greys over a period of time slowly with daily shampooing. I've had greys since i was i teen so I'm use to it; however with my beard it's tough accept. I like the salt n pepper look but with my greys they are no way uniform and are in mess all over the place! I've had a hard time enjoying the growth of my beard with how my greys look. I've used the Just for Men on my hair in the past and know how strong those chemicals are and my fascial skin can be sensitive and worried how it would react to semi or permanent dye to beard? Would you recommend the beard shampoo for someone's greys that are not uniform and a real mess everywhere?

So I have dark brown hair, my facial hair is like a brown, with reddish/orange tone, with some blonde hair as well. I tend to use the dark brown just for men just to darken my beard up for a fuller look, but tend to see even more of an orangish hue to it. Should I switch to the light brown for the blue control tone?

I've been using the just for men permanent colour for a while and learned a lot of what you spoke about in the video by making a lot of mistakes. I would've appreciated this video a lot when I first started colouring my beard, your tips will still be appreciated though. :) A quick question: I looked up the semi-permanent colour you used, branded as the "Control GX". It seems to be marketed as a 'grey reducing shampoo'. Is that right? Can this be used in replacement of a shampoo? If so, can we use this product as a shampoo to wash out the permanent colour? TIA

@SGPRO23 Жыл бұрын

Ya me too I’ve been using it as a shampoo on and off for years and it seems to be a good maintainer somewhat that way. I don’t want to be that vigilant with that coloring application and do alternate washes without coloring product at timesI Also I tried it on dry hair like Matty did and it worked kinda nice especially when I wanted to do a little more than just a maintenance deal, like when I let it go too long without any coloring maintenance and where newer white/grey hair spots were more visible. Just for men always seems to do the trick, although I’ve tried other so called less damaging products that also work kinda nice. They all take a toll just like a windy hot humid day in Fla (or anywhere) does.

Dying it, in my experience looks and feels fantastic. Example: I have med length Dark(Black), with some red and grey in my beard. I chose jet black to start. Wrong choice! I personally found 1 color less than what you think is best practice M45(Dark Brown) in JFM beard color is perfect for me. Any darker and it looks really fake. Almost painted on. I leave it in for 15-18 mins. I've had countless compliments with a dyed beard and I am usually transparent (jokingly) about it not being natural. The permeant does slowly come out. Usually 2-3 weeks you'll notice it and you can dye again. Highly recommended!

I started my beard journey a little over 2 years ago and have regularly died it from the start. Only problem i find is colors aren't what they claim to be. In other words, light blond means dark brown, lol. But it hasn't seemed to cause any damage. Now i have shaved my head so I'm really not worried about color matching any more. As far as what people think. I honestly don't give af. But your explanation of hair was very cool and appreciated. Thanks.

Can you possibly do a video where you try different brands of hair color and see which one works the best? I know Just for Men is probably the most popular. I have tried Simpler hair color which works pretty well as well as Cremo when they made it and about to try True Sons I think it is called. The ones I have tried, you don't have to mix, they either mix as you apply them to your beard or are already mixed. I think that might be a good video to do to try to find the hair color product that may work the best and lasts the longest or are all about the same.

I also tried a few different brands - Just For Men was my least favorite. Color was alright but my skin was much more likely to be irritated. I settled on Simpler about two years ago and still love it. So much easier to use, the color looks great, and as a side benefit my beard actually feels softer.

First, I’d like to start by saying that I wish Matty was local to me because he’d be who I go to for sure! I’ve been dying my beard for about the last 4yrs. I’m turning 48 in a few days & have only had my beard for a little over 8 years. I get streaks of white that run from my lower lip down my chin along with some stragglers in my mustache. If the streaks were symmetrical I probably wouldn’t mind, but they are not. I have 2 streaks on my left & 1 on the right. So I dye it. I also hit my eyebrows which are starting to lose their color. I use Just For Men, Light Red Brown (M-27) which has been perfect for me. I have a little bit of ginger (strawberry brown?) and in the past I’d have to mix different colors to achieve something close but not quite because it would lack the red tones. I only blend the gray to get rid of the streaks for a more natural look. PS - Some guys will neglect the eyebrows & I find that giving them back a little more color makes my eye color pop & look a little more youthful.

@bluegryp 7 ай бұрын

I know this is an old video but in case you’re still looking for advice, here’s what I do. I use just for men. I have a mostly grey beard but my natural color is dark brown. For me i need to leave it on for 20 mins or it ends up being really light brown. You may have to play around with the time and see what works for you. Anyway, I do what he says in the video and outline by beard on my cheeks and neck with Vaseline to minimize the staining. It’s still going to stain your skin though, and since it’s so short, you’re going to see it through your beard, as you know. So to get that off, i get a washcloth and use bar soap to kind of scrub the whole beard area. I wash and rinse twice. Then once I wash it off the second time, I use a product called roux clean touch with cotton balls to remove anything left. You just have to keep wiping till it fades. As for the irritation to your skin, I don’t have a solution for that other than to really moisturize after you’re done. I do get mildly red for a bit but i try and time my dying on my day off so I have a day to recover so to speak. It also helps to do it at night so you have overnight for the redness to go away. I suppose if you get really red this won’t be a solution but it works for me since I just get slightly red. My irritation goes away after a few hours. I usually dye my beard once a week. By the end of the week my grey starts reappearing significantly. Hope this helps. There may be better methods but this is what i’ve come up with using trial and error.
