Modern men often decide to dye their beard and mustache. Representatives of the stronger sex relate to facial hair quite reverently and carefully. Sometimes relatives or friends push a man to take such a step.
However, it is very important to know that the paint for the beard must be selected correctly, it must meet specific requirements. At first glance, the staining procedure may seem simple, but in the process there are always many questions. Therefore, it is very important to first study the features of painting in order to obtain an effective result.
Why is painting necessary?
It is believed that a beard and mustache of uniform color look neat and more neat. When painting gray hair an important role is played by the psychological factor. Men with a renewed beard color feel younger than their age, more confident. This gives them an incentive to reach new heights in work.
Home or salon coloring?
The easiest option is to sign up for a beauty salon. Specialists, observing all the subtleties, take care of the beard and mustache of a man. At the same time, professionals will ask for a rather large amount of money for their services.
It should also be borne in mind that you also have to tint the beard. You need to do this regularly. The cost of maintaining beauty will damage the family budget.
Therefore, it is better to learn how to paint a beard on your own at home. There are a number of advantages - the procedure will be cheaper, and time will be saved while going to the salon. However, there is a slight risk of making a mistake with the choice of color and the paint itself, but this is a fixable thing.
Tool selection
Some use regular hair dye because they don’t know where to find a professional product designed for beards and mustaches. But it’s better not to do that. The paint for beard and mustache is designed for hair with a softer structure, and on the hard one it can lie unevenly. There is a chance to get the wrong shade for which there was hope. The reason is the same - a rigid hair structure.
But if you still decide to stay on a paint designed for hair, you should definitely buy only light shades. You should choose from light blond, blond, ashen. The fact is that on hard hairs these paints will give a darker color. Choosing, for example, chestnut, at the exit there is a risk of getting a coal-black beard.
Another disadvantage of using regular paint is that it can cause an allergic reaction to the delicate skin of the face.
Beauty salons always use professional products for beards and mustaches. They can be found in a regular cosmetic store, ordered online or purchased at a hairdresser. The price of the product depends on the manufacturer.
How to choose the right color?
There are sometimes difficulties in choosing a color. If you use the recommendations of experts, then this task will be completely easy to cope with:
- The best option is a beard that matches the color of the hair on the head. You can make it a tone darker or lighter.
- Do not give preference to contrasting shades.
- Dark hair on the head in combination with a red beard is no longer in trend.
- The black color of facial hair is not for everyone. Men with a Slavic appearance should choose chestnut shades, since the coal beard will look tasteless.
- Also, when choosing a color, you need to take into account the appearance: black is suitable for a wedge-shaped or goatee, with Full Beard light shades harmonize.
