Auto Stop Hair Color Medium-Dark Brown A-40 for Men - 1 Application

Very easy to use and minimum mess. Also does not stain skin and washes off easily. The best part for me is it does not have that foul smell associated with a lot of hair color products

I've purchased Just for Men hair color many times off the shelf here in Australia. This one I purchased online here on Amazon. There are many differences I experienced. Firstly much less content. I have short-medium length hair, barely covered my hair .. perhaps this was why the end result was so poor. I did not like the comb style appliactor and removed it to rub the contents into my hair. When it was time to rinse out .. the color was awful. Unlike usual experiences, it went everywhere and was so dark I had to scrub my shower for ages. Not something I usually gave to do. Finally to my utter disappointment .. the color didn't hold .. as per the photo. Still greys. Also you can see how hard it was to rub off my forehead by the redness of my skin. Unsure why this was such a difficult experience when my usual Just for Men hair color treatments are usually good.

My husband says it’s the best .. enough said 👍

I use this primarily to touch up sides that grey sooner than when I go back for a haircut and color. Most of my grey is at my sides and even professional colors don't seem to get it completely all the time (color resistant). So this is a nice product to touch up and refresh in between my every 5 week appointments. I find it blends in. Beyond being careful to wipe off any on your skin or being careful to not get on things that might stain, you can't mess this up. I've forgotten about it and left on my hair for a couple hours once. It was crunchy dry. I rinsed it off, hair was a little soft, but it was good to go. It really is "auto stop". The biggest criticism I have with these men's products is that they are nowhere near as color specific as women get. I have ash brown hair with no red color in it, so some of these products are the right darkness but don't blend in well because they make them more generic brown. I've experimented a shade lighter and a shade darker to compare results. The great thing about the comb-through product is that you don't have to commit. You can color a small area discretely and see how you like it before you do a full application. The stuff lasts at least a few weeks before it starts fading. Different people's hair has different ability to take color, sometimes I need two applications to get it where I want. Your mileage may vary. It's best to use after you've washed your hair, with no conditioner. Dry it, though it can still be a little damp, and then apply. The next best time to apply, and most convenient, would be 10-15 min before you shower/wash your hair. To wash out the dye, I do a double wash with color safe shampoo and some conditioner, which supposedly helps seal it. HOW TO GET MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS FROM A TUBE You do not need to waste a whole tube on one go as the packaging indicates. The important thing to know is the chemicals in the dye react with O2 in the air in order to set the color. So IMMEDIATELY after you finish your application, squeeze the tube a little sideways (like you do with toothpaste) to try to draw the dye in the comb back into the tube to save some of that (don't obsess, you'll lose some), then unscrew the comb, and then gently squeeze the tube until the dye comes to the very top and put the lid on snuggly. Generally you want to get the air out of the tube. Air in the tube will oxidize and "use up" the dye. You'll know if you did this right because the next time you use it, the dye should be light brown in color (like it is when the tube is new). If it's dark brown/black, it's been oxidized and won't do anything (not harmful to your hair but it will fail to color it). Sometimes the dye at the very top of the tube gets oxidized, so squeeze a little out before you give up on a tube. Doing this, I get 5-7 applications from a tube, doing my sides. If I was doing my whole head, I'd probably get 2-3 applications out of each tube. Make sure to clean the comb immediately after this. Rinse the comb under warm/hot water, from both ends, to get ALL of the dye out. Don't stop until water flows freely through all comb holes and no colored water comes through. The holes are small, if you don't do this, it will dry and clog and your next application with not go well if at all. The dye cleans up from skin and most places well with rag or paper towels, especially if you get to it fresh.

VERY NICE AND LASTED ME FOR MORE THAN A MONTH WITH WASHING OF MY HAIR DAILY TWICE.

Works Great!
