Every man knows the struggle: the patchy blonde fuzz on the face doesn’t quite deliver the proud beard look you’ve been hoping for. A full, masculine beard or sharp beard styles don’t seem within reach. And who wants to wait years to achieve a strong, thick beard?
The same goes for hair color. Whether it’s dull tones that don’t appeal or the first signs of gray—many men want to either postpone or disguise the inevitable. The solution? Beard coloring.
1. Define Your Goal
Before you reach for dye, decide what look you want to achieve. Your beard color should match your overall style. If your natural hair is light, a jet-black beard will look artificial. Similarly, pairing a gray beard with richly colored head hair can feel unbalanced. Aim for harmony between your hair and beard.
2. Prepare Your Beard
Before coloring, bring your beard into shape. Trim the length, clean up the contours, and make sure it’s evenly groomed. A neat canvas ensures an even color application—something barber shop kings would never skip.
3. Apply the Beard Dye
Beard dyes come in many shades and formulas. Choose a color that complements your hair and skin tone. Always read the instructions carefully—some dyes require mixing, others just shaking.
Application is typically done with an applicator comb included in the kit. Work the dye thoroughly into the beard, let it sit for the recommended time, and then rinse it out completely.
4. Care for Your Beard and Color
Coloring stresses the hair, often leaving it dry or dull. That’s why proper care is essential. Hydration is key. Use high-quality products like Charlemagne Beard Balm or beard oils to keep the hair soft and manageable. These products not only protect your beard but also help maintain the intensity of your new color.
5. Maintain a Regular Routine
Beard dye naturally fades over time. With shorter styles, such as a three-day beard, frequent trimming makes regrowth less visible—but you’ll need to reapply color more often. A fuller beard, on the other hand, hides the roots better, meaning you’ll mainly need to refresh the tone when it washes out.
There’s no universal schedule for re-dyeing; it depends on your beard style, length, and personal preference. But consistency is key if you want to keep your beard looking sharp.
Final Thoughts
Coloring your beard is an effective way to achieve a fuller, more polished look—especially while waiting for natural growth. Combine beard dye with proper care and grooming products, and you’ll showcase a beard that looks as refined as your hairstyle with Charlemagne hair styling essentials like pomade, matte clay, or sea salt spray.
