How to dye your beard?

Men decide to dye their beards for a variety of reasons. Someone wants to hide the gray hair that appeared in her in this way, while someone just wants to experiment with bold images. The question of dyeing the beard should be taken into consideration, since this detail of a person's appearance attracts quite a lot of attention, as does the whole face. And the interested reader will find it useful to know what tools can be used for such an original procedure.

Beard dyeing has long ceased to be something wild and surprising.

Let's consider what are the advantages of this interesting solution.

• There is an opportunity to effectively update the image, add fresh stylish notes to the image.
• With the help of painting, the color of the beard and hair on the head will turn out to be the same or, conversely, different (at will).
• It will be possible to hide the early gray hair.
• The hair on the face after painting looks renewed - it shines and takes on a rich color.

However, the color of the beard has other - negative - sides.

• With some products, the painting has to be repeated over and over again (for example, in the case of foam or tonic). For many men, such procedures seem painful, not giving the slightest pleasure. They also take a lot of time.
• Coloring with the use of any cosmetic means is an extra cost, which often turns out to be quite significant for the home budget (especially in cases of using professional products from well-known brands).
• The range of colors for beard dyeing is currently represented by a very meager choice.

The painting of vegetation on a man's face will only be possible if a number of necessary tools and materials are available. If you decide to paint yourself at home, you need to prepare:

• clean ceramic container;
• high-quality disposable gloves without damage;
• a brush for direct application of the coloring composition;
• towel and mirrors;
• oilcloth (can be replaced with newspaper);
• water;
• oily skin cream;
• alcohol or special lotion.

Instead of ceramic, you can use plastic dishes. In such containers, it is most convenient to breed all the necessary coloring components that you will apply to your beard. The dishes will not stain themselves or oxidize.

The use of protective disposable gloves should not be neglected. They usually come with paint, but sometimes you have to buy them separately. Prepare a towel of the correct size to keep the dye away from your shoulders or neck. Oilcloth or newspapers will be needed to protect the surrounding area from paint splashes.

An important step in staining is choosing the right color. The first thing that gentlemen should start from is the natural shade of their mustache and beard. The color of the composition should differ from it only by 1.5 tones or 1 tone.

An equally important criterion is the shape of the beard. Bright colors are more suitable for owners of strict vegetation of a graphic form.Discreet, soft tones are the best solution for wearers of a lush beard.

When choosing a paint, you need to take into account the features of a man's face. If the outlines are masculine and brutal, beard colors can be chosen brighter and more intense. So, for the owners of the appearance of the southern type, colors close to black are most suitable, and the inhabitants of the northern regions, who usually have soft facial features, will be more familiar with an ash beard.

The trend of recent seasons is a white beard. It looks much more spectacular and original than the dark one, but its owner will then have to take a more thoughtful approach to the choice of suitable clothes.

When choosing the best paint for a beard and mustache, a man must understand which options are best not to turn to. Here are some examples.

• The shade of the beard should not be exactly the same as that of the scalp, as even in nature these colors have certain differences. True, if there is a desire to make them the same, then this is not forbidden.
• Daring greens and reds should be discarded right away. If, for example, you want to cheer everyone up at a bachelor party, it is better to turn to art make-up, which is easily washed off the next day.

When choosing the optimal color, you should also rely on a number of important rules that allow you to stop at a win-win solution.

• Many gentlemen want to reliably hide the gray hair that is visible in the beard. Light-colored paint will work best with it. Dark options are less effective here.
• If you dye gray hair in darker or more saturated colors, after dyeing the gray hair, it can turn out darker than all the rest of the vegetation on a man's face.
• It is strongly discouraged to resort to extreme color combinations. For example, a black and red beard will look doubtful in a male look, so it is better to refuse such experiments.

Having chosen the optimal color, the man faces another responsible choice, which consists in finding the coloring component itself. Different compositions and mixtures can act in its role, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. Let's get to know them better.

The main plus of coloring with shampoo lies in its convenience and simplicity. To get the desired shade, you just need to wash your beard using a special product.

However, such staining also has one serious drawback - the effect is short-lived. You will have to repeat the procedure once a week, and maybe more often, which seems to many men to be unnecessary trouble.

Natural coloring agents include henna and basma. Such components are bright, durable and completely safe. They can be safely used for painting beards and mustaches. Using henna and basma, you can adapt and learn how to mix the coloring compositions correctly in order to get a wide palette of shades from dark brown to red. You will be able to make the tone lighter or darker.

Henna and basma are not without flaws. Natural dyes can color not only the stubble on the face, but also the surrounding skin. It so happens that it is not possible to wash the paint right away. It is necessary to take into account synthetic dyes - if you apply them over henna and basma, then in the end you can get the most unexpected effect.

A mustache and beard are not always painted with super-resistant products.The peculiarity is that many of them contain ammonia, which can provoke a strong allergic reaction on the skin. The best method for dyeing vegetation for a long period of time is using eyebrow and eyelash products.

For dyeing beards, many men choose toning. For hair, this is one of the safest and most gentle methods. Tinting is realized if you use a special foam, spray or tonic.

When compared with standard dyes, the substances that make up the foam do not spoil the natural pigment of the hair, changing it to syntheticallyth. They only for some time settle on the hair scales, without harming either the beard or the skin of the face.

Today, many large manufacturers produce a huge assortment of men's mustache and beard paints. Specialized formulations are developed specifically in accordance with the characteristics of the chin area where the vegetation is located. There are excellent gentle products on the market, as well as options that nourish the skin and stubble.

Most men decide to dye their beards in a salon setting, but nothing prevents them from doing it on their own. For this, it is important to act correctly at every stage. Let's consider step by step how to carry out all the procedures at home.

• The first step is to prepare properly: wash your facial hair thoroughly and give your beard a certain look. You can use a trimmer for this.
• Prepare an oilcloth or newspaper to protect the floor and wallpaper in the room from paint contamination.
• In the area surrounding the mustache and beard, apply an oily cream. Do not neglect this step, as it is he who protects the skin from accidental staining.
• Based on the type of colorant you have chosen, carefully open the jar with it, or pre-mix the necessary components with an oxidizing agent.
• Branded packages usually contain detailed instructions for preparing the funds. Be sure to follow the instructions, especially if you are turning to self-staining for the first time.
• If a tint shampoo was chosen for painting, no extra steps are needed. You just have to wash your mustache and beard with him.
• Take the paintbrush that comes with the dye and gently lay the dye mixture on the vegetation, being careful not to let anything through.
• The package will say the time that you will have to wait, leaving the dye on your hair. Then wash it off.
• Rinse your beard with a special caring balm so as not to run into insufficient hair coarseness.
• If you dyed the skin in some area, you can remove the pigment with the help of alcohol or lemon juice.

After dyeing the beard at home or in the salon, a man must definitely take care of further facial hair care. Facial hair suffers from these procedures in the same way as scalp hair. After exposure to coloring agents, they can become severely weakened, damaged, dry and brittle. You can prevent such problems if you use various care products - both simple and professional.

Special oils for beard and mustache are highly effective. They will need to be applied daily, trying not to skip the procedure. The balanced composition of modern care oils provides complete nutrition and hydration of the hair.

A regular beard trimming should also not be neglected. You can do it in the salon, or you can do all the procedures yourself.

It is advisable not to forget about daily styling. To do this, you need to use only high-quality and safe waxes, gels, varnishes and foams. The formulations should not be too aggressive, so as not to harm the hair, which already suffers from dyeing.

The beard should be washed thoroughly from time to time. However, this applies not only to the beard, which has just been dyed. It is advisable to use high-quality shampoos and balms from trusted manufacturers for complete washing.

Perhaps, in the future, additional tinting of some hairs will be needed. As soon as you notice that the beard has begun to fade gradually, you should immediately start correcting its color. In this case, it will not be difficult to return an attractive appearance to the beard.
