Just for Men has been a leader in hair dye for graying dudes for years, so we weren’t too surprised to find our testers gave it the top rating—especially after chatting with the pros. “Just for Men has been the ‘go-to’ for men’s hair coloring for a very long time,” Haygood says, noting its overall effectiveness and wide range of color options. “Plus, it works fast to cover grays, in as little as 5-10 minutes! It does this by mainly coating the cuticle or outside of the hair with pigment, which can fade with time to give you a washed-out brassy look.”
The formula includes keratin, olive oil, and vitamin E, all of which help soothe the scalp and strengthen hair health. Not to mention, we found it offers full coverage of gray hair while still maintaining a natural look. This is in no small part due to it being one of the few semi-permanent options on this list that is designed for full coverage and not just blending—though, it will require slightly more upkeep than a permanent dye as a result. But seeing as Just for Men also doubles as the best budget option, we found the trade-off to be well-worth it, and still cheaper in the long run than many others.
The only real downside to this product is that it can be mildly confusing when searching for your hair color, as most online retailers (like Amazon) break it down by categories across multiple links and it’s not available directly through Just for Men. To make navigating this easier, just click on which of these best describes your hair color: Black, light brown, medium brown, and dark brown. This is ultimately a positive, albeit somewhat annoying, because after you click your color, each then has at least three variations for added accuracy.
