2 minute read. Worth bookmarking.
First things first
Before you start
1

Do the skin sensitivity test before your first use. Instructions and timing are in your manual. Don't skip this one.

2

Grab the gloves from your box and put on an old shirt. Use a towel you don't care about.

3

Keep your instruction manual handy. The leave-in time chart for your shade starts on page 9.

The process
4 steps, start to finish
Open your box
Step 1

Open your box

Inside: your can, the comb-brush, gloves, and the instruction manual. That's everything you need.

Dispense onto the brush
Step 2

Dispense onto the brush

Point the nozzle into the comb-brush and dispense a thin strip, like toothpaste on a toothbrush. A little goes a long way. Each can holds around 20 brush-fulls, so don't feel like you need to use a lot. Watch the dispensing video first if it's your first time, it's the step people mess up most.

Brush it in
Step 3

Brush it in

Brush through the grays you want covered. Works on your hair, your beard, or both.

WAIT
then
RINSE
Step 4

Wait, then rinse

Set a timer on your phone. Your leave-in time depends on your shade and how much coverage you want. The chart is on page 9 of your manual. Partial Coverage only needs 5 to 10 minutes. When time's up, rinse with warm water until it runs clear.

Before and after
Done

That's it. Enjoy.

Your color is permanent, so it stays until new gray growth comes in. Most guys just reapply every haircut or beard trim.

Did you pick the right shade?

The rule: match your natural color, don't go lighter. If you're second-guessing your pick, double check before you apply. If you got the wrong one, we'll swap it, no charge.

Quick answers
Stuff people ask us
How many uses do I get per can?
Each can dispenses enough for around 20 brush-fulls. The average guy gets at least 4 to 5 full applications, depending on how much hair or beard you're covering.
How long does the color last?
It's a permanent dye. It stays on your hair or beard until new white or gray growth comes in.
How often will I reapply?
Most guys reapply every haircut or beard trim to cover new growth. Partial Coverage fades after about 20 washes, so plan on every 2 to 3 weeks.
Does it work on beards?
Yes. Hair, beard, and touch-ups.
