Lightening the colour of my beard?

Karl Hungus

Ok, my beard is darker than my hair. Is it possible to just get some dye like Just For Men and lighten it, or would I have to bleach it first or something like that? I've never done this before so, any advice appreciated.

Nobody?

You might find a few answers on that link! But be careful bleaching near your face,you could get a severe reaction.Just for men would do the job also.

In my opinion, you'd get better results darkening your hair rather than lightening your beard! You don't want to put any sort of peroxide near your face at all!

Better still, shave it off!

What colour is your beard and what colour would you like it to be?
It might be easier to darken your hair by a shade or two. Try Just for men , there might be some useful info!

You big girl Karl!!!

You could probably get it done in a hair salon, or barbers. Don't go putting any stuff on your face without consulting a professional first!

Hmm, I don't particularly want to darken my hair, and reading up on that Just For Men stuff, there's a lot of blurb about it "Only targetting the grey hairs" so that could be a waste of money.

Oh well, no matter.

Any beard I've seen which has been tampered with the use of dyes etc generally comes out looking very strange. I saw an eldery man recently in town who had done just that. Looked as if he was wearing something which he bought in a joke shop.

It might be better to leave it the way it is. I have a few flecks of red in my own . Annoys me to no end. Beginning to learn to live with it...

I may be mistaken, but I'm nearly sure that I seen beard and moustache colouring kits in Boots at some stage, or try Terrisales on abbey st. There has to be some sort of specially designed product out there somewhere!
