True Sons Hair Dye Foam for Men - Natural Look - Effortless, Multi-Use Dye Kit with Instant Color Booster Applicator, Ammonia-Free Formula, Simpler Hair and Beard Dye (Brown Black)

The Chronicles of the Purple Sun God or my adventures from last night that have left me as a peacock in distress. A cautionary tale wrapped in a towel. It started innocently enough. Two weeks ago, I decided to touch up the beard. I was aiming for "distinguished," but I missed the mark and landed squarely on "Auburn." It was too red. I looked less like a rugged outdoorsman and more like a disgruntled traffic cone. So, last night, I decided to fix it. I picked up my expected Amazon colorized assassin, but—plot twist—the brand had "improved" their formulation. They obsoleted all the safe, middle-ground browns. My only option was "Dark Brown." I thought, How bad could it be? It’s just brown, right? Wrong. Here is a quick lesson in Color Theory for Idiots (a class I am apparently teaching): * My beard was already open and porous from the Auburn dye (Red/Orange pigments). * "Dark Brown" is heavily based on Blue and Green pigments to counteract warmth. * The Science of Regret: Blue molecules are physically smaller than red ones. They don’t just enter the hair shaft; they sprint into it like shoppers on Black Friday. When you mix Red/Orange with aggressive Blue/Green, you do not get Brown. You get Black. specifically, Radioactive Eggplant Black. But wait, I’m a man of efficiency! Why ruin my life slowly when I can do it quickly? I decided to add the "Color Boost" accelerator vial to the mix. You know, just to make sure the catastrophe set in instantly. I washed it off and looked in the mirror. I didn't just dye my beard. Because I apply dye with the precision of a drunken toddler, I had also dyed my skin. I stood there looking like a Gothic Bozo the Clown. A dark, purple void where my jawline used to be. Panic ensued. I tried to bleach my face. I’m pretty sure I used battery acid, fire, and a dull knife. Nothing worked. I finally resorted to a paste of baking soda and liquid dish detergent. After scrubbing until I had no dermis left, I am now approximately 14 shades lighter than the Purple Sun God—but definitely still purple. And the cherry on top? The scrubbing worked too well on the gray hairs. The only hairs I actually wanted to cover have surrendered their color completely and are back to being white. So, if you need me, I’ll be in the bathroom, looking like a patchy, purple, bruised grape, questioning every life choice that led to this moment. Looking forward to more options in colors again I can attest that their product Will color your hair choose colors wisely.

After researching various types of hair dyes for head and beard, I settled on this brand. With much excitement I opened the package, read the directions, and followed them to the letter (cleaning skin prior to application, applying enough foam to the area to ensure areas were covered). Waited the additional 5 minutes for the beard area (as the instructions say you may need the extra 5 minutes beyond the first time 10-15 for this area.) I watched as the foam turned dark brown, and started to disintegrate as my beard started appearing. As it started appearing, it was still gray - I figured, maybe it started from the root up? I’m no Brad Mondo, but usually the roots turn quicker as they are closest to the skin adding extra heat to the process. The timer went off, I rinsed my face and looked in the mirror and nothing changed. Nada. Not one single hair. Additionally, it took some extra time to get the dye off my skin (which at first made it look like I had MORE gray!) But once it was all off and wiped away - I reinspected and to my utter disappointment, again, nothing changed. I figured - ok, let’s try this again. Rinse and repeat. Again, to my utter disappointment, and 30 minutes of dye time combined - nothing. Still gray. Not even minor coverage. Same as it was (especially from my sideburns down where most of my coverage is.) I had hoped they would offer a money back guarantee, but alas - they do not. So folks, when you are debating buying this and you see some of those negative reviews and you think “It’ll work for me.” Let me reassure you, it won’t. Save your time and money and get just for men.

I really like this product when it comes to ease of use, application, and the final result. The foam is simple to work with and the color sets in quickly without much mess. That said, the color range is where I’ve run into some issues. I’ve used the dark brown and lately felt it came out a little too dark for me, especially in the summer. So I tried the medium brown instead, hoping for a softer look, but I honestly could not tell the difference. I even tested both at the same time, one on each side, and they looked exactly the same. I just wish the shades were actually different enough to notice.

I don't have a lot of Grey's but I wanted to try it out for the next time I go to a wedding or something and quite frankly it didn't work. No refund policy for a reason. Even with the dye booster, it will color your skin better than your hair. Please don't fall for the tricky advertising.

It didn't dye my hair, it dyed my face. Does not work at all. Total waste of money.
