Anyone Dye Their Beards With Henna etc?

[saj]

hello people i was just wondering does anyone dye their beards with henna etc?

i got some henna from lush which is very good quality as i used it years ago but i had jet black hair then so it didnt really do much in terms of colouring but really conditioned the hair and made it feel really nice

mrs is going to dye my beard with henna today as i've got a salt and pepper beard, in a nutshell a black and white beard but not many white hairs but they can be a bit annoying

well i say annoying but sometimes im okay with white hair in the beard and then sometimes im not, some of you gtuys my age in their mid thirties onwards might be able to relate?? i dont know

anyways this is the lush henna its called caca rouge, supposed to come out a red'ish colour, really want a nice red looking beard with the skinhead lol

I have a black beard, but once in a while I'll get a stray white hair.
I actually go over the stray hair with a black Sharpie marker. It works, and I already have over 40 Sharpies.

Absolutely. It's usually only one or two stray white hairs. No need to buy and waste an entire box of hair dye for that.

Dyeing is usually very obvious and so looks unnatural. Plus, it's a lot of work to maintain. My suggestion is just to age gracefully and accept the grey. Keep things well-groomed and it's OK. I trimmed my beard very short, and eventually shaved it off.

yea im just embracing the salt and pepper beard,
im getting older no two ways around it

obviously if you dye and you got black and white hair never dye your hair jet black as it looks too obvious and silly that youve blatantly dyed your hair

Why don't you just shave it? Isn't that why we are here?
