Beard Dye
- Thread starter Rossi320

My father used it on his mustache. It works, but it's not a dye. Plus, the beard grows quickly, or rather, it grows noticeably quickly. After a while, you tire of the almost constant application.
I've always taken and used that saying jocularly. But your mention of it brought up a deeper dictum that is deadly serious: "we can't take with us anything we've been given or have obtained, we can only take what we have given".
Words to live and die by.
No dye for me.
My wife loves the "aged" look.
My dad is very....um.....a.......white.
He sunburns instantly, and has very light hair. At 86 years old it's now gray, but was blonde for most of his life.
About 40 years ago he decided he was going to grow a mustache. He grew a stash, but you couldn't see it from 10 feet away due to his clear hair. He decided to use some dark mascara on it....my mom suggested it.
He then went to work. He was a 6th grade teacher. Halfway through the day the mascara started to run down his face. This horrified the 6th graders and forever cemented him as being "that guy".
He shaved it immediately when he got home, never to have ANY facial hair again. But the comedy never dies. When he comments to me about my facial hair, I kindly remind him of him scaring the children!!!

My brother in law recently started dying his hair and beard. We are all getting a good chuckle out of it.
I started graying in my late twenties. I’m almost completely white now. I never considered coloring it.

Yeah I do too but haven't had a beard, I just want to try it out seen on Instagram alot and of nice beards, not sure of my growth but like my mustacheI think if it really bothered me, I'd use a razor.
I'm actually envious of those that go gray. None of the men in my family went gray but my facial hair has always been mostly white.
My beard was blond with very light ginger orange streaks....now it's gray with blond/orange streaks.
I imagine looking like a clown if I tried to dye it....

I'll say it again.
There is nothing wrong with a white beard.

Don’t do it! Grow it and show it the way it looks naturally. Also, it’s a slippery slope, it starts with beard dye, then hair dye to match the beard, pedicures, manicures, drop in Testosterone, etc. I kid about the last but dyed hair just isn’t a look I like. I’m sure it looks good on some, maybe you’ll be one of the lucky few.
I don't like to dye the hair on my head, it would look too artificial with the gray in my beard, even if it's a short two-week beard, it would be horrible. Also, there is the negative point that some people get allergies or irritation of the chemicals in the dye.
