How to Dye Your Beard Salt and Pepper: Simple Steps
Patch Test
Let’s look now how to dye your beard with Salt and Pepper as your preferred beard colour. Always patch test an area of your beard before starting. If you’re new to dyeing your salt and pepper stubble, we recommend you start with just a few strands of hair to see how your body and beard responds. We also recommend that you try a strand of hair from an inconspicuous part of your beard, like behind your ear, in order to make sure you aren’t allergic or otherwise negatively affected by the dye.
Don’t Wash Your Beard Before Dyeing
Do not wash your beard before dying. Do not wash your beard for at least 24 hours before dying it as your beard contains Sebum. Having even only a small amount acts a protection or barrier between your skin and your beard. The knock on effect would be stripping away the Sebum and leaving your skin unprotected from the dye. The dye is also less likely to stick to a clean beard, so there is no benefit of washing your beard prior to dyeing.

How to Apply Beard Dye
Apply your dye onto your beard. Dyeing your beard is a process that takes time, and you can’t rush it.
