Grizzly Mountain Beard DyeThe Organic Base

To get the best results, you’ll need to use the product a few times. For the best results, apply it once and then reapply a few days later. I have a black thick beard.

Gotta follow the instructions to the t and then some like leave it on longer till it’s completely dryI made a mistake and made it too watery and didn’t leave it on that long and still got pretty decent results

I like this product. It gives my beard a nice tone and I like that is is natural and not full of harmful chemicals. My only complaint is that it does not last very long. I need to dye my beard every week or two. Customer support is good!

The organic base is part of a kit sold by the manufacturer. A while back I was a user of a standard beard dye on the market, you know, exclusively for males. After using the commercial product for years, I began to develop horrible allergic reactions ( weeping sores) and had to discontinue.Enter Grizzly, I have been a happy user for two years now and very satisfied. Initially, I had to "break-in" my beard to the product using the organic base- although each person is different-not everyone needs it ( The manufacturer instructions ask to try without it and use if you need assistance for "breaking in" your tough beard). The organic base helps provide a specific tone range and probably helps the absorbency of the beard and a small amount is given with the standard kit. Recently I found myself using the organic base consistently so I ordered a package of it separately. Give these folks a try. Your beard will look natural and you won't get "burned" by harsh chemicals. Comes in powdered form appears to be all natural vegetable and mineral pigment dyes. Instructions are clear and you can contact them for additional support ( I don't usually - still its nice to know the option is there)

Here is my review. Short, simple, and honest. I was using JFM for roughly 5-6 years and began experiencing exactly what has probably brought you here to this product, ie, facial rash and irritation. A nurse friend of mine warned me of recent cancer warnings linked to JFM. So, onward and forward...I have used Grizzly Dye three times to date. My first time was this base followed by the black dye. I have a black beard that is pretty damn grey as I have just turned 40. I first washed my face with natural face wash. Applied the base for roughly 25 minutes then washed off with the same natural face wash. I then applied the dye for about the same amount of time as the base. Washed off with same natural face wash. Now, here is the thing to remember. Don't judge this product after that last wash off. This stuff is true to its instructions. It really does "set" overnight. Your beard may be slightly off colored as it states...but look in the mirror every hour or so and watch it change!! This completely covers up my greys!! A great, all natural tool for my anti-aging toolbox!! Try this and I promise you will never look back!!

Not worth it. Maybe it's because I have naturally thicker hair. I tried using this on my goatee for weeks. I used the beard base with the dye daily for about a week to try and "tame" my beard before using just the dye. I usually applied it and slept in it overnight to try and give the color enough time to really oxidize. What I would get once I washed it all off was just a goatee that looked like salt with just a pinch more pepper than it had in it before going through that ordeal. I used this daily for about a month to give it some time to fully run through my beard, but still got the same results, so I stopped using it. I could find better things to do with hours of my time.

My husband has been complaining of the grey in his beard, and I had read so many bad/scary reviews on the chemical dyes that I wanted him to use something "natural." This popped up and I read the info on the website and the reviews on Amazon and decided to purchase it for him. We purchased the base and the dye, and like what happened with many other reviewers, it gave his beard a slight green tinge even after following the directions perfectly. Yes the dye darkened over the next 24-48 hrs, but it didn't quite reach the level of darkness that we were hoping for, and there was always that slight tinge of green. It wasn't enough to bother my husband, thankfully, so he'll definitely keep using it until it's gone.

I think many guys are just buying the dye because it works well enough on its own. But after a couple applications of the brown dye alone, I decided to buy the Organic Base just to see if it makes a difference...and it does. When I just use the dye for 30 minutes and then wash it out, my beard/skin has that ever so slight green tint for the first 24 hrs, then a natural brown color with blondish highlights (where gray used to be) settles in nicely and lasts for about 4 days before the dye's color starts to fade away. When I use the base first for 20 minutes, wash it out, then apply the brown dye for 20 minutes and wash it out, I don't notice any green tint at all, and the dye's color lasts about 7 days before needing another application. So for me I'm going to continue to use the base first so I only have to dye my beard once a week to keep it looking good. Very happy with Grizzly Mountain products.
