5.0 out of 5 stars A natural product that works

V. · 15 September 2021

I began using JFM but have sensitive skin. I had slight burn after a few uses so decided to stop immediately. I looked at a few natural items and saw this brand available on Bolo.I initially used the dark brown. It didn’t work well. I was getting orange colour on my grey hairs and only lasting a couple of days. I was about to give up but thought I would try the black dye. This has worked great with no irritation.With this product, it took some practice and trial and error to get things the way I wanted. I have a relatively short beard (number 6 on my Remington beard trimmer) and I colour it every 5 days. It’s not as straight forward as chemical dyes but I have found it works just as well.The first thing to mention is that this does take longer. If you need the base then it can take up to an hour whereas the JFM only stayed on for 2 minutes. I find it best to use this around doing something else as opposed to just sitting around waiting to wash it off. The second thing to mention is that this does not work like chemical dyes. This will only colour what it is physically in contact with. Therefore, you have to make sure you cannot see any hair sticking out of the application. It has to be thick with the beard fully underneath the mixture.I find that my beard darkens immediately but continues to get darker over the next 8 hours. I don’t personally get any of the green or purple mentioned. This colour is a dark black and darker than my natural beard.There is no guarantee that the dye will work. You may need to use the base. The dye has not worked for me without the base. I have done some trial and error and I can mix my base in with the black and use it in one application. This is not how they recommend it is used but works for me and I half the time. It works better if you use the base and colour separately but I’m happy with the result and I prefer to have a few grey hairs here and there as it looks more natural. If I use separately then I can get 100% black beard.One of the great things about this compared to chemical products is that this does not colour your skin. I have no irritation at all. I previously had dry skin under my beard but using this product has meant I no longer have dry skin. It’s also worth noting that this product requires a lot less time on the beard than similar natural products which say they need to be on for anywhere between 4 hours to overnight.All in all very happy with this and I like that it is natural.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good as idea, fail in practice

I was desperate for this to work and with my hopes up with the reviews I have been trying for three weeks now. It did not give me an allergic reaction and I love the just mix with water idea but the positives end there.After the really long twenty minutes this dries into something close to concrete. The mess it creates is monumental. Hair that doesn't lay totally flat on the skin isn't coloured. It's impossible to cover hair on the chin. After all those efforts... the hair goes green for two days. Then orange for another two days. Then it goes back to grey. It doesn't look natural it looks stupid. I will also try the dark brown before I go back to irritated skin but normal looking beard.Update: I have been trying the dark brown for a couple of weeks and I am much happier with it, less green and orange and seems to last a few more days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product. Works as advertised.

This product is excellent, and it gives me results that go beyond my wildest expectations. Before Grizzly Mountain, I had tried chemical dyes but had to stop due to the itching they caused after some time. Grizzly Mountain causes me no irritation whatsoever. I use the dark brown, mixed in with some natural brown, and the effect is awesome, very natural. I dye my beard once a week (it’s very short). I start with the base (I let it sit for 30 minutes and then rinse under the shower) and follow on with the dye (35-40 minutes, then ditto). It’s sort of a weekly evening ritual, kind of meditative even. Given the results, the time investment is totally worth it, a no brainer for me. Here’s how I apply it. I mix the dye with water close to boiling point (I make sure that the paste doesn't become watery; it should have the consistency of thick ketchup); apply the paste with the brush provided in the packet; and work the paste into the beard evenly with my fingers. I then cover the beard with cling wrap, so the paste won't dry out and will easily come off under the shower. The longer one lets the dye sit (not the base), the darker the beard gets. I haven’t experienced the “green beard” effect some have written about and which is mentioned in the instructions on the box. The beard darkens somewhat overnight, so you’ll see the full effect when you look into the mirror in the morning. Some reviewers have complained about the smell, which is somewhat grassy. Personally, I have no problem with it – it doesn’t bother either me or my girlfriend one bit. Now that I'm used to the dye, I hardly even notice the smell.

Excellent stuff, read the instructions though.

It's really, really good. I like the fact that it can leave some of the thicker hair a lighter colour, so that you end up with a very natural blend, (and as no one's beard is really uniform, its a very realistic look). Best bit is that its very non-toxic, and does not stain your skin, (For God's sake, don't use just-for-men, that stuff has a moderately high probability of burning your face). (BTW, the skin stain of those other chemical dyes should lift with baby oil or moisturizer on a cotton wool ball).But, like most things, you do *need* to read the instructions. The few who complain here maybe didnt give it overnight to work, or didn't follow the process. If it doesnt seem to do much the first time or two, use the oxidiser, (the 2nd smaller packet) which kind of prepares the beard, *then* use the standard stuff. You'll get the results you want!Tips: I found I had to use the oxidising agent pack once to start off the process, (slightly different mix of the dye in a smaller pack, works really well), and leave the dye (either the oxerdiser or the main dye) in for 30 mins. (They recomend 15-30). Doing that, I got really good results.It can fade after a few days and the colour then looks like a really natural blend of light and dark. Be aware that the dye makes your beard get darker over the first 12 hours, (or overnight), so it's often best to do it before you go to bed or a friday afternoon or similar. Dont be put off if you've followed the instructions and it doesnt seem very different the first few times. You do need to give it a few (6?) hours to work at least, and you'll then likely be pleased and surprised! All of this is covered in the instructions, follow them and it should work really well!Do not mix with an alcohol/ethanol based after shave. That will change the tint of the dye. Moisturizer will generally remove colour from any dyed hair. Keep it away from the edge of your beard, or hair.Edit: I recently started leaving it in 45 mins, (while I checked my email), and generally a little longer gives you a darker shade, (that lasts a few more days (I get close to 1-2 weeks before they gray grows out underneath). The more you use it, the better it gets, and the more effective at colouring your facial hair.

Auch für Allergiker geeignet

J.D. · 13 May 2024

Die meisten Bart- bzw. Haarfärbemittel enthalten Substanzen, die bei vielen Menschen zu Allergien führen.Dieses Bartfärbemittel besteht aus natürlichen Substanzen und eignet sich auch für Menschen, die auf die üblichen Bartfärbemittel mit schweren allergischen Reaktionen reagieren.Es gibt das Mittel in vier verschiedenen Farbvarianten. Jeder Bart reagiert anders auf das Mittel. Daher muss man ein bisschen herumprobieren.Ähnlich wie bei einem ungefärbten Bart bleibt der Bart nach dem Färben ein bisschen uneinheitlich. So ist auch bei der Farbe "schwarz" nicht ein pechschwarzer Bart zu erwarten, wie es bei synthetischen Mitteln der Fall ist. Das Ergebnis wirkt dadurch natürlicher.Die Reaktion des Barts auf das Mittel ist nicht vorhersehbar. Daher sollte der Erstanwender das Mittel möglichst vor einem Wochenende benutzen. Es kann insbesondere bei der schwarzen Variante zu einem leichten Violett- oder Grünstich kommen. Das verliert sich bei wiederholter Anwendung.Es ist oft besser, zunächst eine hellere Farbe zu verwenden, z. B. Hell- oder Mittelbraun. Zudem kann man die einzelnen Farben auch mischen, z. B. ein Teelöffel schwarz und zwei Teelöffel dunkelbraun.Außerdem sollte man sich darüber im Klaren sein, dass das Mittel mindestens einmal in der Woche angewandt werden sollte, um abrupte Farbwechsel zu meiden.

No funciona

Me dejo la barba naranja después de haber seguido con detalle las instrucciones. No me funcionó en absoluto, una total pérdida de dinero. No se lo recomiendo ni a mi peor enemigo.

Great product!

This is my first time growing a beard. So keep that in mind. Most of the hairs around my chin are completely grey. And the rest is dark THICK hair. I’ve seen a lot of guys dye there beards with chemical products and it looks so fake! My wife argued with me that she didn’t want to look at a fake dyed beard cuz it look tacky. So I was hesitant to purchase this, even though it said “natural” dye. But what the heck, we’re in quarantine, and I’m not going anywhere, so worst case scenario, I shave it off. No big deal. So I gave it a try. The first time, I just used the dye without using the base. It did absolutely nothing. So I try with the base, then did it again. Small improvement, but tinted the grey’s green. Left it 24hrs and it darkened up a bit. So I repeated the process, base then dye. And it got slightly darker. My greys were hardly noticeable, look VERY natural. Was gonna just leave it as I was happy how it was looking, but as I’m typing this, I have another coat on the beard. Hey took about a week and a halve to get the look I was looking for, you cannot tell there is any dye in my beard whatsoever. And they give you a lot of product. I could probably dye it like 10 times at least! Mind you I only have a month on this beard. So it’s not that long. But great product and highly recommend if you have the time to do it over and over again till you get the look your looking for. ALSO it smells pretty bad for a long time. When you apply it, it smells decent, like grass clippings. But the smell lingers for a week. Especially when you get it wet... my wife thinks it smells like smoked meat lol.
