I can't imagine putting myself through a regimen like this, particularly when the results are mediocre at best. What do you think?

I have zero desire to hide any gray.

I have zero desire to spend 4 1/2 hours with my face wrapped in plastic! ;D

That's insane. Bob looked better gray.

I'm not sure why they felt it would look natural to have a grey-less beard and lots of grey on his head. D#tG3t

Thank You!

It also appeared to me that his skin did gets stained with dye despite their precautions.

Bob gets a headshave in their next video production, :*))

If I had to go through that much trouble I think I would just shave.

Neither do I, Slymyke. It all looks a tedious time consuming chore.

Is it some hippy-dippy vegan thing to use henna and indigo instead of buying a box of Just for Men that takes a few minutes to apply?
-
I suppose it's safer for people who have had skin reactions to JFM.
-
Definitely not worth 4 1/2 hours. The JFM stuff works great if you only have a little gray to cover, but there is not enough in the kit for a full beard with a lot of gray. I use another brand of hair color that is less expensive and has four times the quantity in the box (it's marketed to ladies, but the same chemicals). It take me about 20 minutes once a week and I have never had any skin reactions. They all stain the skin, so with any product you have to be careful to not get it on the surrounding skin, or wash it off immediately if you do. A skin stain will last about 24 to 48 hours.

Yeah, those chemicals are found in the products made as "hypoallergenic" alternatives. The weird thing is they seem to have gallons of each in this videos. With that much, I don't see why it takes so damn long to get a result...lol.
I tried a product called, "Wolfshead Beard Dye". It seemed to wear off really quickly... like the same day. Plus in their ads products with these ingredients are used on guys with about a week-long growth. Big woop. But I can't use JFM, I will break out in an ugly bright red bumpy rash that feels like my face will be scared for life.

My father-in-law almost died getting his hair dyed. He's severely allergic to aloe and the dye that the salon used had aloe in it. He got home and a few hours later his head had swollen in ways I didn't know was possible. We rushed him to the emergency room where they were able to counteract the reaction.

That's scary.

Wow, I didn't realize people were allergic to aloe. That's a tough one.

Razor, I would leave your beard/van dyke the color it is. I like the red and the grey on you. It looks great.

Thanks. Fear not; I'm not planning on altering the color. :)

People can be allergic to virtually anything.

[sarcasm]That's exactly what this is. God forbid someone actually buy a product created by the human mind through a c-c-c-corporation that's seeking p-p-p-profit by using advertising to force people to buy c-c-c-chemicals! It makes much more sense to use a random collection of things from the outdoors because nothing in nature is made from chemicals and nature is always safe (Organic hemlock and daffodil salad anyone?), and then spend four and a half freaking hours for the process to complete so that both your skin and hair are dyed dark.[/sarcasm]
I can see this being an interesting experiment in a "hey look what I did" kind of way, but to use this as an ongoing means to dye hair is absolutely absurd. The hair treatment process is long enough but I wonder how long it takes to gather these ingredients (ironically probably produced by a company), mix them together, and then clean them up?
I had a Henna tattoo put on at an amusement park years ago and it hardly worked at all. Maybe it needed to be applied with plastic for 4 hours, but it was incredibly disappointing.

There is much research funded by Loreal to find a anti grey pill right now. One product is out already called Grey Defense. It seems to be an anti peroxide supplement of some sort. Other cosmetic companies are also racing for a pill based solution to reversing grey hair. Another product is called Getawaygrey as below:

Im curious to see if they work on chest hair as well...

I don't like the gray in my beard, but the gray on my chest hair is something I REALLY don't like. It was one of those things I never really thought of before but I guess it was bound to go gray just like the rest. I guess I just don't think much about it one way or another so I always assumed it would always look the same, but one day this summer I was doing housework and sanding drywall patches and got white dust on everything, looked in the mirror and thought it looked funny, and then a week later without drywall dust I noticed my chest hairs still had A LOT of white. It was pretty disturbing.
-
What a Faf to do that daily

Ah grey on my chest hair is driving me mad! I was at the gym today and after was having a shave and it was so noticeable!
-
Grey hair on the chest ? Shave it off please !!!
-
What hair on the chest? LOL. Mine looks bald and not from shaving.
-
Meh... I could care less what color my hairs are. My chest hairs are a mix, as is my forearm hair.
I can't see my back so can't comment on that. 8)
-
I have afew grays on my chest, but I am not very hairy and I don't go out in public shirtless. Can't say about my forearms. Since I have been working out regularly (4 years or so), I keep my arms shaved to be able to see the "slight" muscle definition ::) I have - it helps with my motivation to continue. If I could just get rid of my gut, I might consider being shirtless on the beach. :(
-
I am complete mismatch. Dark brown chest arm and leg hair. Dark brown and mostly gray beard. I can pass for under 90 provided I keep a bag over my head. :*)) :*)) :*)) :*)) :*)) :*)) :*))
-
Razor, I wouldn't touch it. I like the 2 tone color on you. It looks great.
-
I've learned to embrace the salt and pepper beard. I've thought about using Just For Men, but just don't feel like going through the hassle. I've not had any bad reaction to the greying beard, some say it makes me look distinguished, so I'm not gonna alter it in any way. It's grey and it's here to stay.
-
I agree, Doc. I like the gray in my beard.
-
Right now I only have a little so I've decided to just roll with it.
I've tried just for me and it wore off in a day or 2 so IMO it's not worth fighting it with over the counter products.
-
I actually thought this guy looked better once the beard was died. But, what an idiotic and time-consuming thing to go through. Plus, when it was done, the right side was higher than the left and it looked like dye, not hair. Weird.
-
Jeez....that's plain stupid!
-
I used to use Just For Men. When the eyebrows turned grey, I quit coloring the beard. I am almost 53 and still feel pretty young. I am quite hairy and now I have old man body hair with the upper chest getting white. But I am sure that this is how Santa would look if he took his shirt off! However, I am slowly but surely getting rid of the Santa belly through diet and exercise. But that is a different thread!
-
And there's one incontrovertible fact; It grows back. What's going to look stranger? A two tone beard with a defined line of colour change or endlessly having it redone? I have a moustache that I often think of as a colour palette, but that's how it grew in and, unless I shave it off, that's how it will stay. Maybe I have no vanity, no self identity of being young, young, young....which is the basis for all this. I've figured how to look old, old, old and I'm not in the mood to learn something frivolous. I'm having enough trouble learning Finnish to bother with this. (Some days I almost cry, and I thought Russian was tough.....)
-
Crikey! I'd rather have grey in my beard thank you!
-
No dye for me!
-
I don't consider it grey but think of it as Chrome its a biker thing
