SIMPLER HAIR COLORfor Men Kit for Full Gray Coverage - Blond Hair & Beard Dye for Men - Effortless Light Blond Hair Dye - Hypoallergenic Formula with No PPD

I was using the "popular mens" temp. beard dye product for several years and it always left my skin very itchy and irritated for several days after application, AND the color wore off/faded very fast, so I was reapplying it almost every week and 1/2, and just dealing with the discomfort.Fast forward to me discovering SIMPLER, and after some research, reading many positive reviews, and seeing that they had a 100% vegan formula, and all those irritating chemicals from the other brand that were probably causing me the discomfort weren’t in the product, I decided to give it a try.I’m so happy I did! I’ve had NO skin reactions at all, and I’m using this on my hair and beard.Also it doesn’t have the overwhelming fragrance of the other one, much more subtle, and disappears fast.For me the color lasts about 3 1/2 to 4 weeks before I need to reapply - and 1 bottle lasts a very good amount of time for me so it’s much better for the price!Application is pretty straight forward and easy since you don’t have to mix (they have how to videos to help and FAQ’s), and they do include gloves and pads for cleaning up skin stains, but actually for me, I’ve not had to use them at all. I slap this this stuff on and haven’t had any issues with skin staining at all (but that might just me LOL!).On that note - I also haven’t had any problems with the product staining my counter or sink as long as I wipe up well after I’m done.I also I highly recommend getting the upgraded brush kit If you have a short hair, and your beard isn’t too long - works perfectly for me!Thanks so much SIMPLER!!!

When I came to the product to leave this review, I was surprised at its rating. It's 10x better than JFM. It does take 20-30 minutes vs 5 minutes, but then it lasts until the hairs are cut off. No fading like JFM. I used to have to reapply JFM every 5-7 days to keep a consistent color. Also, JFM would dye my beard entirely too dark or leave too much gray. This product is consistent color. It DOES NOT stain my skin!!! No ointment around the skin line required. My only negative is that the applicator is a bit too stiff if you have a shorter beard. I just kept my last JFM applicator and use both applicators when applying depending on the length of the hair. The can lasts me 4-5 applications. (My beard is trimmed on a fade of guard #3-#9).

I've been greying for 15 years during which time I've used JustForMen 6-8 times whenever my vanity got the better of me. I remember the predictable results I received, wherein the grey was gone, and I accepted the irritation that came with each application as the price of admission. I struggled through and persevered each time, though my skin remained dry, scratchy, and flaky beneath the hair for as long as I wore the beard. Eventually I came to terms with aging and left it natural (and increasingly grey) whenever I grew it out; which in time I just stopped doing altogether.So, three weeks ago, when Instagram started showing me ads from Simpler which proclaimed "NO PPDs", I thought, "Surely that was the problem I was having with JFM right?!"; some kind of chemical irritation, there might yet be hope for me to grow out my beard without immediately adding 10 years to my physical appearance. "NO PPDs!" So, I eagerly ordered Medium Brown and tried a test patch behind my ear as suggested; three days later saw no reason not to go ahead and apply, expecting good results without the discomfort. What I wasn't counting on was an overall reaction to this product when applied in earnest far worse than I'd ever experienced with JFM, a reaction that would leave me painfully bloated, broken out in hives and a rash, burning like mad, and clawing at my face in an agonizing itch.THE PICTURES speak volumes( l-r )-Left: 6pm Saturday night, BEFORE-Middle: AFTER application, waiting the prescribed amount of time, then taking a shower, 7pm (Meh. I was disappointed with the coverage- nothing like what I saw in all the videos and testimonials I'd watched.)-Right: Around 1am that night, when I couldn't sleep and could bear the BURNING and ITCHING no longer, I shaved the whole beard off to find my face in this state; this was 7hrs before CVS opened Sunday morning so I could get some antihistamines (of which I had none on hand, and then came to offer no relief). Finally I took myself to local Urgent Care for a steroid shot and a week's worth of Prednisone..-THIS VAIN ENDEAVOR WAS LOSE/ LOSE, even after Amazon refunded my purchase price, I was left with the other expenses (above), and I heard NOTHING back from Simpler after my attempt at contact (the only avenue I could find to get to them directly through Amazon was the Leave Seller Feedback page.).Maybe I have sensitive skin, but this seems excessive. This beard colouring attempt was a disaster.BE CAREFUL or BEWARE.

I have tried soooo many beard dyes over this last year, even those that say they won’t irritate your skin or leave red rash etc. but those and all others have left my face irritated, and it with a weird color that doesn’t match what it says.This Simpler hair dye is Amazing!!! Zero face or skin irritation, and the color is spot on, I even follow the time frames they give to leave in to I can achieve darker when left in longer or keep a little salt and pepper when left in for about 5 or so mins less.Plus the brush applicator works so perfect, and the single bottle last for a Ton of applications on my particular beard and takes but a minute or two to apply.Finally have found the product I’ll be using forever moving forward to keeps some sense of youth LOLThank you for a great product finally that works perfect for me and makes a bit younger I apply it. I’ll keep buying as long as you keep making it! Thanks
