Colouring Tips

How is Just For Men® Brush-In Colour Gel for Mustache & Beard different from Just For Men® Shampoo-In Haircolour?
Just For Men Brush-In Colour Gel for Mustache & Beard is formulated specifically for colouring facial hair — which is coarser than the hair on your head and requires a thicker, more penetrating formula. It comes with a brush to make application fast and simple. Each package is good for multiple colourings. And it comes in nearly all of the same shades as Just For Men Haircolour.
How often should I colour my head hair?
Most men need to colour their hair about every 6 weeks — which can vary depending upon how quickly your hair grows. The best test for when to colour is just to look for signs of grey returning. Be sure to follow package insert instructions for repeat applications, especially if you have longer hair. Hint: to ensure that you nip grey head hair before it’s obvious, always keep an extra box of colour on hand.
How often should I colour my facial hair?
You’ll know when you look in the mirror. When the grey roots are visible, it’s time to colour again. Remember: one box is good for multiple facial hair applications.
How does Just For Men deliver a natural look?
Just For Men with its XGrey Science targets only the grey hair for a natural look, leaving your non-grey hairs alone. The result is haircolour that looks like it’s your own, original colour.
Why should I use Just For Men instead of women’s hair colour?
Women’s products change the colour of every hair on your head — whether it is grey or not — providing a less natural look. They also come in a variety of fashion colours, which are not appropriate for men who don’t want obvious colour changes. Further, Just For Men only takes about 5 minutes to apply versus 30 to 45 minutes. And finally, it’s safer and non-damaging since it’s 100% ammonia-free, unlike most women’s colour brands. Bottom line: Just For Men was developed by men for men to match men’s specific needs.
How do I select the shade that is most natural for me?
Always start with a lighter shade than you need to avoid an obvious colour change. The most common mistake is to pick a shade that is too dark, resulting in a colour different from your original haircolour. If you need help finding the right colour for you, try our shade finder.
Do I handle repeat applications the same as a first-time application?
No. Be sure to read the “Repeat Application” information in your box of Just For Men. You will only want to apply colour to your grey roots. Otherwise, the ends will get darker with each application.
What happens if I try a different brand of hair colour?
No two brands have the same formula. For example, Just For Men Medium Brown is different from another brand’s Medium Brown. So to avoid making it obvious that you colour your hair, stay with one brand. This way, you’ll keep your appearance consistent to maintain your more youthful look.
Do I need a special shampoo?
Just use a mild shampoo, such as shampoos for coloured hair. Avoid using harsh shampoos or bar soap frequently as they can strip colour and cause fading.
Should I colour my hair before or after a haircut?
After. That way, you will avoid having your ends turn darker with a new application.
Can I perm my hair while using Just For Men?
Yes. Just wait 7 days after colouring, and be sure to choose a product made for colour-treated hair.
Can I relax my hair while using Just For Men?
Yes. Apply relaxers before using Just For Men.
Does Just For Men damage my hair?
No. It’s actually good for your hair. With no harsh ammonia and just five minutes of processing time, it’s gentle. Plus, Just For Men is fortified with a unique complex of Vitamin E, protein, chamomile and aloe. These vitamin-enriching conditioners protect your hair during colouring, and they make it thicker, healthier-looking and easier to control afterwards.
