Adult male, ~50% dark brown + ~50% grey, applied to scalp + beard in one session.

Result: ✅ Natural result on both, no irritation.

Notes

  • Not officially for beard — patch-test first, rinse on any tingling.
  • No lifting — only deposits tone. Won't lighten dark strands.
  • Fades evenly in ~3-4 weeks; plan monthly re-application.
  • One box covers short-hair head + beard → ~€10-13/month.

Avoid confusing with: Excellence Crème (permanent, ammonia) · Magic Retouch (washes out) · Casting Natural Gloss (different sub-line).
