I Took My Hair from Grey to HEYYYYY with Madison Reed MR
I always joke that my adult acne keeps me looking young (maybe for my 40th birthday in a couple of months I’ll stop getting zits? Pretty please?), but the truth is my grey hair was betraying my age. How rude.
Now listen, grey hair certainly beats the alternative - being bald, of course; I simply don’t have the head shape required! - but I was ready to try something that could take me from grey to HEEYYYYYYYYYYYY.
I knew I wanted something:
Easy
Natural looking
Safe for my hair
Not from a spray can sold via infomercial
Hello, Madison-Reed MR!!! Madison Reed - the hair color experts with a line of chic at-home color products and even chicer Hair Color Bars - has launched a line for dudes and I. Wanted. In.
Their men’s hair color kits come in five shades, ranging from dark blond to dark brown/black. I went with the dark brown/black because, well, that’s what color my hair is! Not sure of your color? There’s a quiz that can help you find out your color match.
Each Madison Reed MR hair color kit comes with enough supplies for two applications
The application process couldn’t be easier, even for a dumb dumb like me. You apply the color gel to unwashed hair, apply the color activator and wait (10 minutes for more subtle results, up to 15 minutes for deeper color), rinse in the shower and then wash with the included shampoo.
I was too excited to take pics of step 1 and 2, but here’s a pic of me in the shower about to use the shampoo; if there’s one photo the internet needs, it’s this!
Hey Madison Reed MR - can you please turn. your shampoo into a scented candle? It’s too good to wash down the drain!
I don’t know how it’s possible, but my hair was softer, shinier, and all-around-better AFTER coloring it than it was before. Madison Reed MR’s formulas are free of the harsh ingredients that are often found in other brands, just sayin.
And the results? Honestly, I am THRILLED. It looks so natural - the grey are blended rather than eliminated, so you look super natural (versus looking supernatural).
Before is on the left, after is on the right (duh):
Fellas, you can use this on your beards too, obvs.
Are you color curious? You should be, because guess what: enter EXTRAEXTRASTYLE20 for 20% off your purchase at Madison Reed. What can I say? I’m a giver!
Leave a comment below and let me know, in no particular order, A. How young I look and B. If you’re gonna try coloring your hair!
