Products for coloring facial hair?

For some time I've considered growing a beard, but hesitate because, as I've grown older, my facial hair tends to come in "blond" in some spots. Does anyone know of a hair-coloring product designed specifically for facial hair that works well and looks natural? I've seen "Just for Men" advertised (wouldn't it it be weird if it weren't "just for men"?) and I wonder how well it works.
TIA.

Any hair dye will work the same on your facial hair as it will on the hair on your head. Be careful of loreal producs though; they come out much darker than expected, at least the natural colors do. The enhancers come out pretty well, but that's not what you're looking for probably.

MiN has a relatively new "home hair color kit" in various shades that is salon grade and designed specifically for men

can be used on your head or on your beard, sideburns etc.
it's about double the price of those drug store ones but you get what you pay for

Since facial hair is generally much coarser than scalp hair, I assumed different products were needed. Is the usual hair dye formulated correctly to use on my face?

You're right about the enhancers; I don't need to enhance the gray!

thinman: I've been coloring my beard (and hair) for years. No matter what product you use on your facial hair, it will always fade more quickly than your head hair. Thus, after about 3 weeks from coloring my hair at the stylist, i trim my beard and recolor it with JFM. It lasts pretty well for the 3 more weeks before I return to the stylist.

BTW, if you find yourself allergic to the chemicals and feeling a burning sensation, there is a cheap product sold in most hair product stores which you mix with the prep to negate that reaction. It is a definite must have if you do suffer from this allergy.

Thanks for the advice, guys. I'm not sure I want to do this, but I'm considering a short vacation in early August that would allow me to grow in a beard while away from work.
