Performing a patch test

Prior to using this kit, it is important to perform an allergy test. While rare, allergic reactions can occur when this product comes in contact with skin. Wash an area the size of a quarter on the inside of your arm with warm water and soap, then pat dry. Prepare a small test solution using a color capsule and equal parts of the developer (approximately half a cap full). Mix in a small plastic or glass bowl. Apply a light coating to the prepared area of your arm and let it dry naturally. Do not wash the area for 24 hours. If redness, itching, or any other irritation occurs, immediately wash the area with mild soap and water and do not use this product.

A few tips to remember before you start...

Barber’s Choice is ideal for use on mustaches, beards, temples, hairlines, and sideburns. This product is formulated specifically to cover men’s thick, coarse facial hair.
Choose your shade carefully. If unsure, select a lighter color first. You can always reapply and go darker, but you cannot lighten once the color has processed.
We offer four natural shades of beard color. Light/Medium Brown, Dark Brown, Natural Black, and Jet Black.
You must use the creme developer that is included with the kit. Do not mix it with shampoo instead or a developer you already have. It will not color the hair without it.

Step 1: Mix!!!

First, determine the number of capsules to use. USE ONE CAPSULE: For small areas like mustaches, goatees, sideburns, or short beards. USE TWO CAPSULES: For short to medium beards or long goatees. USE THREE CAPSULES: For medium to long beards. Remove the large black mixing cup. Open the color capsule(s) and pour the entire contents into the mixing cup, making sure to empty all of the color powder. Next, remove the small white measuring cup and fill it to the top with the developer. Use one full measuring cup for each color capsule. Empty the entire contents of the measuring cup into the black mixing cup. Mix thoroughly until the powder has completely dissolved. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes, then mix again before applying.

Step 2: Apply The Color

Before applying the color, comb through the facial hair using the enclosed comb and brush applicator. With the brush applicator end, generously apply colorant to the facial hair, starting with areas containing the most gray. Reapply colorant to the brush as needed. Immediately remove any colorant from the skin to avoid staining. Ensure all facial hair is completely covered, especially at the ends. Do not comb through after application, as this will remove the color. Allow the color to process as directed.

Step 3: Let It Sit

Processing times vary depending on the color you have. The longer you process the color the darker the results will be, so watch the time closely. If hair is a resistant gray you may want to process 1 to 2 minutes longer. Please allow the color to process as follows:

Light Brown = 5 minutes
Medium Brown = 5 minutes
Dark Brown = 8 minutes
Natural Black = 10 minutes
Jet Black = 10 minutes

Step 4: Rinse & Examine Results

After letting it process, rinse the area thoroughly with warm water until all of the color is removed. Do not use soap, and keep in mind the facial hair will look darker while wet. Allow your hair to dry completely, then examine the results. If a darker color is desired, reapply the remaining mixture and leave it on for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Afterward, shampoo facial hair thoroughly to ensure all colorant is removed from the skin, helping to prevent potential irritation. Enjoy up to 6 weeks of bold color :)
