How to Dye & Remove Green Beard Dye

St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect excuse to go all out with your beard! What better way to show off your Irish spirit (or just your love for festive fun) than with a bright green beard right? Let’s be real - once the party’s over, you don’t want to be rocking that leprechaun look at work on Monday. Don’t worry! We’ve got your back with foolproof tips on dyeing your beard green and - more importantly - getting it back to normal when the holiday shenanigans end.

Picking the Perfect Green Beard Dye

Before you go full-on Lucky Charms mode, let’s talk dye options. Not all green dyes are created equal, and some will leave you looking like the Grinch long after St. Paddy’s Day. Here are the best picks:

• Temporary Hair Sprays: Quick, fun, and washes out after a single party night - perfect for commitment-phobes.

• Beard-Specific Washable Dyes: These give you a bolder look but still wash out after a few showers.

• Food Coloring or Natural Dyes: Great for a DIY approach and less harsh on your beard.

• Semi-Permanent Beard Dye: This one’s for the bold - you’ll get a longer-lasting green, but be prepared for some serious removal effort and probably some damage to that luscious mane.

How to Turn Your Beard Shamrock Green

1. Start with a Clean Slate: Use a good beard wash like Bearded Coast’s True O.G. Beard Wash to remove dirt and oil.

2. Protect Your Skin: Nobody wants a stained face. Apply a thin layer of beard oil or petroleum jelly around your beard. This can help the dye from staining the skin.

3. Dye Like a Pro: Wear gloves and use a comb to spread the dye evenly - unless you’re going for a patchy goblin vibe.

4. Let It Set: Follow the instructions on the dye and resist the urge to touch your face. I know it's hard, but important. Do not touch your eyes!

5. Rinse & Moisturize: After washing out the dye, dry it to about 90% and keep your beard soft and smelling good with Carpe Diem Beard Butter.

Easy Fixes for Temporary Dyes

Used a spray-on dye? Just wash it out with a good lather of Bearded Coast’s Pine Tar Soap Bar - problem solved!

Stubborn Dye? No Problem!

If your green is sticking around longer than expected, try these tricks:

• Clarifying Shampoo: We never recommend using a head shampoo on your magnificent beard, but good wash with a sulfate-free clarifying shampoo can help break down stubborn dye.

• Baking Soda & Beard Wash Mix: Thanks mom! Combine baking soda with True O.G. Beard Wash, lather up, and rinse well.

• Vinegar Rinse: Apple cider vinegar can help fade leftover green while keeping your beard soft.

• Pine Tar Soap: Bearded Coast’s Pine Tar Soap Bar is a deep-cleaning powerhouse that can help remove stubborn color.

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!

Coloring and stripping dye can dry out your beard. After you wash out that green stuff apply a generous amount of Beard Conditioner and let your beard marinade extra long before rinsing out. Show it some love with extra dose of Beard Oil to bring back hydration and shine.

Wrapping It Up

Dyeing your beard green for St. Patrick’s Day can be an absolute blast - until it’s time to go back to reality. Whether you go all in with a bold semi-permanent dye (not Bearded Coast recommended) or just spritz on some temporary color, the right prep and removal methods will keep your beard looking fresh before, during, and after the celebration.

So go ahead - embrace the green, enjoy the fun, and when the party’s over, you’ll know exactly how to bring your beard back to its natural glory. Need top-notch beard care products? Check out Bearded Coast’s lineup to keep your beard looking its best all year round!
