Grizzly Mountain Beard DyeOrganic & Natural Black Beard Dye

It worx, yet here's how it worx.. so, everything anyone has ever said about Just For Men is true. I used it for 11 years without symptoms then one day it was all over. Turns out I'm also 11 years older so I need it more lol. What a nightmare JFM is. Wow. Wow. Caused sores, blisters, pus, redness, itching as you could expect in hell... like the kinda itching that once you start scratching you're hypnotized to not stop and you're helpless to it... if you use JFM and this isn't happening to you... don't worry... it will. 100%. I got prescribed Prednisone/Steroid cream. Took a couple months to heal.GOOD NEWS... Grizzly works. And so we never have to go gray again safely... HOWEVERRRRRR, so the turn your beard green, purple thing... it will happen UNLESS you do this...Here's the trick and cut and paste it...1) First it goes a long way so get just one tablespoon spoon (short beard grunge, two tablespoon for longer beards) flattened not even full... dump it in a plastic cup or use the old Just For Men tray AND JFM brush too! ...ALSO, regarding the base it comes with... so I pour all the bag of die powder into a special glass jar when I open the package and so I mix 1 part base with 3 parts grizzly mix... no need to do the base separate it's funny like that.2) boil black coffee, and add boiling coffee drop by drop until it's only a thick paste, do not thin it out! I mean thick, toothpaste thick... see this is the trick, because you cheapskates may be making it too thin... by doing it thick it's super concentrated and bonus it's easy to put on without dripping!3. IMPORTANT! You gotta put it on within 2 minutes of mixing it! DO NOT LET IT SIT, DO NOT LET IT GET COLD, that color is alive that first couple minutes...4. LEAVE IT ON for 40 minutes...NO LESS! it stabilizes by itself so it'll only color so far... it's gotta dry up like plaster does (TMI, I take care of all my bathroom biz at the same time so its no hassle for me)5. Take shower and rinse off and you're gonna be awesome!These instructions took me many trial and error sessions.And eff Just For Men for ruining many many good days.

There are so many reasons to not buy this product.First of all, the instructions are vague and unnecessarily verbose... not only is it a whole page of florid prose most of which is unrelated to the actual application process, but it doesn't even have the right steps that work for many of the people who use this junk. For example, there is no specification of amount of water to add to the mix. When I first tried this, I seemed to have put in too much and it had the consistency of swamp water... then later did I realize (what they don't mention) that you only add a few drops of water, maybe a teaspoonful, to this thing to make it "like ketchup" as they describe.Second, it smells awful! There is an acrid, bitter smell to this that is sort of like grass and dirt mixed with onions or some horrible vegetable else... it is difficult to describe. It is not entirely noxious but I was in a rush to get it off my face and scrub it out of every surface it touched.Third, it doesn't work! They themselves concede in the page-long instructions that it frequently doesn't work on first try! I got the black and it turned my beard a kind of tinted grey/green. If this happens I'm supposed to use the additional bag but really, I have no interest in going through this again.Fourth, it's almost twice as expensive as Just For Men. I bought this because I developed an allergy to Just For Men as many people who buy this product... so far there is no allergy to this but it does not justify the cost. This is a rip off.Now for those who are persistent with this obviously "challenging" product and got it to work through some dexterous practice like learning to play a new musical instrument, I salute you. For the rest of us who do not have time to fidget around with smelly goo and powder, the search for alternatives continues.

Works for me and doesn't make me itch and break out like JFM. At first I picked the wrong Grizzly Mountain color, but it still worked, and the right color works even better!I have thick dark, dark brown hair on my head, sprinkled with gray streaks, mostly over my temples (my son says like Mr Fantastic). Having used JFM I was in the habit of buying color that's lighter than advertised because JFM would always over-darken. For my beard type, Grizzly Mountain colors are exactly what they're supposed to be.First pass I did 15 minutes of color, instead of the recommended 30 minutes, and got too little of an effect. I also mixed the stuff a little too watery. Next pass was 30 minutes and a little more like the thickness of white glue and that worked great. I had the slight green tint for 2-3 hours and then it was the right color brown as the package was marked. But like I said, I have DARK brown hair, so the medium brown face hair seemed a little off to me. As my medium brown was aging through the week, I bought a package of BLACK Grizzly Mountain so I could either use the straight black or mix it 50/50 with the brown to get a home-made dark brown. Turned out that the black treatment on top of a week old (and slightly starting to fade) brown was a good look for me.These days I do the treatment just once per week and it works GREAT, looks very natural, covers my 50% gray beard/mustache hair and blends it well with the remaining 50% of facial hair that is still dark and hasn't turned gray yet.For reference, my facial hair is fairly short, but longer than stubble. My chin and soul patch are a little longer than a #3 guide on a beard hair trimmer. My mustache is relatively full, but not Tom Selleck/Burt Reynolds thick.I read somewhere that the Grizzly Mountain dye works on the hair follicle below the skin, and I think that's a reason that it still looks good for a week. And since it fades SLOWLY over the period of a week, just doing the routine every weekend is an easy deal.
