Sometimes it’s just like this: a look in the mirror makes you frown. Your beard is gradually turning gray, and you’re contemplating whether to have your beard dyed or to do it yourself.

We will reveal how you can make your beard darker or bleach it in this post.

What Do I Need If I Want to Dye My Beard?

Most people who decide to dye their beard first face the basic problem:

  • What do I actually need?
  • What can I use to dye the beard?
  • Will a regular hair dye do the job?

We are skeptical and recommend a special beard dye.

Alternatively, eyelash dye or eyebrow dye from the women's section also yields good results.

Here’s a shopping list of what you need:

  • Beard, eyelash, or eyebrow dye
  • Mixing bowl
  • Gloves
  • Towel - preferably an old one that can get stained
  • Moisturizing cream
  • Mascara for applying the dye (yes, you actually need to shop in the women's section…)

Beard Dyeing: Let’s Get Started

Once you have purchased everything you need, you can get started. Follow these steps:

  1. Read the instructions on the dye carefully and don’t just dive in. We promise it’s worth taking the time to understand the procedure beforehand.

  2. Mix the dye according to the package instructions - note, use a plastic bowl. In metal bowls, the developer in the dye may react with the metal and possibly alter the color tone

  3. Apply moisturizing cream or Vaseline to the skin under the beard and the skin around the beard to prevent staining of the skin

  4. Apply the mixed dye evenly and cleanly to the beard using the mascara

  5. It is advisable to first test a small area of the beard to check if the color tone is as desired and if the hair reacts oddly

  6. Leave the dye on according to the package instructions and then rinse it out. Note: since a lot of dye will wash out, it will be quite a mess that continues on your towel.

After dyeing or tinting, it’s time for beard care. With our beard products, you can restore smoothness to your beard.

Dyeing Beard Without Chemicals: These Home Remedies Work

If chemicals aren't your thing, there are home remedies for dyeing the beard. You can naturally color your beard using a mixture of beetroot and water or cocoa powder and water.

However, the result is not very intense in color and unfortunately, gray hairs cannot be hidden with this method.

Expert Tip: If you want to dye your beard only for a short period - for example, for a costume event, you can use a spray from the drugstore. It’s quick and straightforward.

Important Tips for Dyeing Your Beard

Before you start, you should know a few things to avoid unpleasant surprises later. Keep the following in mind:

  1. Do not wash your hair before dyeing. On freshly washed hair, the color often doesn’t take as well

  2. Wash your beard one day before dyeing to remove any styling product residues that could negatively affect the result

  3. If you want to trim or shave your beard before dyeing, do it one day prior. This allows your skin to recover before you apply the dye

  4. Do not dye your beard if it is shorter than 1.5 centimeters. The result usually isn’t opaque and mixes with the natural hair color within a few days

  5. If the color result is a bit too dark or intense, wash your beard as often as possible in the next few days. Shortly after dyeing, some nuances usually wash out.

Is Dyeing Your Beard Harmful?

There is no general answer to this question. If you use natural home remedies or henna for dyeing, you don’t need to worry about potential consequences.

However, with chemical dyes, things are different. They can irritate your skin and lead to itching, burning, and similar reactions.

Also, consider that the dyes used can dry out the beard hair, leading to split ends.

How Much Does Beard Dyeing at the Barber Cost?

Unfortunately, we can't give you a general answer here either. The barber sets the cost for dyeing. Typically, the price ranges between 20 and 30 euros.

The exact cost depends on the beard length, the dye used, the color, and any special requests.

Conclusion

If you really want to add some color to your beard, we recommend visiting a professional, i.e., a barber. He knows what he's doing and has professional dyes that you can’t get in stores. The result will be significantly better.

How you can shape your full beard afterwards is explained in a separate post.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Beard Dyeing

    We suspect you have more questions about the topic. Here you go:

    Can Beard Gaps Be Concealed by Dyeing?

    If you plan to dye beard gaps, you should be cautious. Where there’s nothing, there’s nothing to dye. If you have larger gaps in your beard, they might actually stand out even more with a dark or intense color.

    However, if your beard hair only has irregular density, you can actually bring more uniformity to its appearance with some dye.

    How Long Does a Dyed Beard Last?

    How often you need to dye your beard depends a bit on the dye used. Typically, the color remains fresh for around six weeks before it starts to fade. Additionally, you will eventually see the new growth and should consider touch-ups.

    Can You Dye a Short Beard?

    We wouldn’t recommend dyeing stubble, as the result doesn’t look uniform and the dyed stubble will mix with the new growth and its natural color within a few days. The beard should be at least 1.5 centimeters long before you dye it.

    Should I Dye My Beard?

    We personally are not fans of dyed beards, as the result often looks unnatural and there is a risk that the color doesn’t suit you, your face, or your skin.

    Skin irritations can also occur if you don’t tolerate the dye. In that case, it’s all about care, care, and more care.
