How long will the color last, and how often do I need to reapply it? — Hair and Beard Cream Hair Dye "Top Ten For Men" 03 Dark Brown 80 ml

Since the color forms inside the hair shaft, it does not wash out the way a temporary or wash-out color does. The shade is meant to stay stable for weeks, but 'permanent' does not mean it never changes. How long it looks fresh depends on your hair porosity, how often you wash, the shampoo you use, sun exposure, and how fast your hair grows.

As new hair grows in, the natural or gray regrowth at the roots and along the beard line becomes visible. That is usually the first sign that it is time for a touch-up. Many men refresh every two to four weeks, but the right interval depends on your growth rate and how noticeable the contrast is. You do not need to color the whole beard every time. Use the comb applicator to apply the mixture mainly to the regrowth area, then blend it toward the ends for the last few minutes.

To make the color last longer, wash with lukewarm rather than hot water and avoid harsh or clarifying shampoos. Frequent washing, chlorinated water, and strong sun can speed up fading. When you do a full reapplication, try not to overlap too much onto hair that is already colored, because repeated overlapping can make the ends look darker or duller over time.

If you are not sure how your hair will react, do a patch test before each application and test a small strand first. This is especially important with oxidative dyes.
