i did exactly as the directions stated, left it in for 5 minutes & then rinsed...... my mustache & beard came out darker rather than lighter. I have some more creams in the tubes so i will attempt the process a few times, every other day.. But from my one use, i am not happy at all. i'm only 26 so obviously no grey hairs yet, but i'm trying to somewhat match my dark blonde, very light brown facial hair to my natural dirty blonde head of hair.
ProsNo Mess
Consdoesn't work
No, I do not recommend this product.

My hair use to be a sandy blond color. Now I am about 80% white with much less hair. Blond hair turns white while black hair goes gray, for the most part.
I let this product sit on my hair for about 15 minutes. Added extra agent to the white areas after 7 minutes.
I had mixed feelings on the results. My wife and daughter can home and did not notice that I attempted to colored my hair. I told them what I did after waiting 3 hours for a comment.
No sure I would use this again but I remain open minded.
ProsEasy to use, No Mess
ConsDoesn't get rid of enough gray, Too Light
No, I do not recommend this product.

You deleted my previous review with the before and after pictures? Bad form.
The product is easy to use, however, does not color or cover gray. Maybe I have different gray beard than other men, but it doesn't take the color. If I soften the hairs first with hydrogen peroxide first, the gray beard does hold some of the color, otherwise, the product only covers the non-gray hairs a darker color. I have to re-color every 4-6 days.
ProsGentle, Easy to use, No Mess, Works Fast
ConsColor doesn't last long enough, Doesn't get rid of enough gray
No, I do not recommend this product.

Based on your beard shade in the photo, we strongly recommend you use Dark Blond for adequate gray coverage. We have found that if you have 50% gray or more, choose a shade closest to your natural hair color.

I have used this product for years. It does a good job of covering my gray hairs. The product does not last long and within a few days it starts to get lighter in color and most of the time my hair turns a light shade of red within two weeks and another application is needed.
It is difficult to control in that it is runny and drips all over the place.
It stains the skin. A product that lasts longer would be great. By that I mean it should hold its color longer and not start to lighten so soon after application.
ProsWorks Fast, Gentle, Gets rid of desired amount of gray
ConsStains Skin, Messy, Drip/Runs, Color doesn't last long enough
Yes, I recommend this product.
Response from Just for MenBy Consumer ResourcesApril 15, 2013
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. To help with fading, we recommend using a shampoo made expressly for color treated hair and a conditioner which helps seal in color. Some shampoos or bar soaps can be harsh and actually fade the color from the hair. Water chemistry can also impact color results. Alkaline water can make color fade fast and iron-rich water can make hair turn red.

There are a few home and store remedies to help remove stains from the skin -- any kind of ashes (cigarette, BBQ, fireplace, etc) - mix into a thick paste with a little water, rub onto the stains then wipe away with a damp cloth. You can also try hydrogen peroxide, toothpaste, astringent, cold cream, a hair coloring stain remover (can be found in the hair coloring section of a drug store), or rubbing alcohol.

Yes, it's relatively inexpensive and very easy to use. But the minute I step out of the shower, I still see a good bit of gray. Need to use it twice between haircuts (which occur every 6 weeks). I've tried combing in, simply lathering in, leaving it in for just under 5 minutes, a little over 5 minutes, not using regular shampoo after first application and just toweling dry...but nothing seems to boost the coverage. For the record, I'm probably 30-40% gray. The color is a good match, but I could stand something a little lighter. Final comment--to this day, I can't get their coupons to print from my Mac. VERY cumbersome process. I'll still use it and recommend it, as it's the only game in town.

The product seems to have become thinner (more runnier) as the years have gone by. There seems to be less product in the bottles. It only lasts three weeks before another application is needed.
Otherwise the product works well.

We have used this product for about 15 years, but although I love the new application process, the product is not as good as the original. My husband has to touch up the whole head after he gets out of the shower. After the second application is applied it is fine. Wish we could just skip the extra step and do it once.

We want to thank you for your review and your husband, for being a loyal Just For Men user! Over time, we become grayer and may have to go one shade darker for better gray coverage.

I have been usin JFM for about 6 years. I use it mainly around my temples while still leaving some grey. The coloring only lasts for abot 2-3 weeks. I use shampoo and conditioner meant to preserve color, but even then does not work. I went to a beauty shop to get an opinion & they said packaged products do not last too long. I have a minimal area to cover on the side of my head and temple area. I use Sandy Blond.

Thank you for submitting your review regarding Just For Men.

For long-lasting coverage, we recommend you switch to Dark Blond/Lightest Brown for 3 - 4 minutes to avert dark results. You can adjust your waiting time, if necessary.

We invite you to call us at 800-431-2610 for product assistance.

My husband has been using this product for many years. I've noticed that it has become thinner (more runnier) as the years have gone by. It was much creamer and easier to use and there is definetly much less of the product mixture in the bottles. My husband has very thick hair and I need to buy two bottles which becomes very costly. Please add more liquid product to the bottle.

Your coupon system seldom works.
Seems like 1-2 weeks before the disgusting gray pops out.
Experience has shown me that any gray yields no job success via
interviews if gray is showing.(Who came up with the hint of gray?)
Have used your product maybe 15 years-maybe 2 coupons used.
Have to play with the time shampooed into hair to cortrol density
of real black.
