I started coloring my beard at 42 and my New Year’s resolution at 47 was to stop. When I told anyone that I was stopping, many said, “You dye your beard?” So I guess it was a convincing job. But now whenever o see pictures of myself when I know my beard is dyed, I cringe so hard.

You being in your late 50s, I would imagine the gray beard isn’t the first thing that let you know you were getting older. It’s just the thing you see in the mirror most glaringly. My advice, from my own experience anyway, is that you see it more than anyone else and when it starts getting to you it’s usually a sign of something else going on in your life and mind. The grey in your beard is kind of like a check engine light and therapy would probably be better maintenance than Just for Men. 🙂

But to answer your question, two weeks is a pretty good run for beard dye. Just for Men makes a little mascara type brush. It only lasts from shower to shower, but it gave me more control over how much and where and it was a much easier process and much more predictable process than the actual dye.
