FAQs: Men & Dark Red Hair Dye

Is red hair dye professional enough for men?
Yes! Dark red is bold but still professional. It adds a confident, mature edge.

Can I use it on my beard too?
Absolutely. Our henna dyes are safe for use on both scalp and facial hair.

How long does it last?
Typically 4–6 weeks with proper care. Use sulfate-free shampoo for best results.

Will it cover my gray?
Yes—henna is great for gray coverage. Just be aware that grays may appear slightly lighter.

Is it messy?
Like any at-home dye, it takes a bit of setup. But with gloves, a towel, and a brush, it’s easy to manage.
