You glance in the mirror and there they are again – a fresh crop of grays creeping into your beard and hairline. You’re not trying to look like a different person, you just want to go back to what you used to look like.
But it’s tough to find a product that makes it quick and easy to color your hair and beard at home – without the mess, hassle, or bad results.

The Beard Club Overview
The Beard Club’s Beard and Hair Color is a reusable full gray-coverage kit built to use on both beard and hair. It features a large 5 oz tube of ready-to-use salon quality color (no mixing required), along with three dedicated applicators (long-hair comb, short-hair comb, precision brush) – outstanding for everything from short stubble to long, coarse beards.
The formula is designed to deliver full gray coverage in about five minutes, won’t wash out, and conditions as it colors – so your beard looks thick and natural.
With multiple uses per tube, it’s practical for full applications and quick touch-ups. At its current sale price of $19.99 (around $4/oz), it’s more cost-efficient than most alternatives.
Simpler Overview
Simpler’s Full Coverage Color Box is a reusable, at-home permanent dye kit designed to deliver natural-looking gray coverage on both hair and beard with minimal effort. The product comes in a compact 3.4 oz pressurized can that dispenses as a ready-mixed foam. There’s a single applicator for even distribution.
While convenient and streamlined, Simpler sits at a higher price point – around $49.99 (over $14/oz), so it’s a less affordable option.
Final Thoughts
Both kits deliver permanent gray coverage on beard and hair, condition as they color, and are reusable for touch-ups. But after putting both through their paces, we’d recommend The Beard Club for a few reasons.
But Simpler’s nozzle clogged on us a few times, and the single applicator made it tough to be precise. So we were forced to apply more product for the same result while burning through the kit faster.
Right now, The Beard Club Beard and Hair Color costs $19.99 (around $4/oz), so it’s a great deal. Simpler’s kit is $49.99 (over $14/oz), so you’re paying a premium for less product and fewer tools.
The Beard Club’s precision brush gets around the edges cleanly. And the comb applicators distribute color evenly, whether we’re working through head hair or sections of long beards. Every whisker and hair feels super soft and conditioned after.
If you plan to erase the gray and refresh your look, The Beard Club’s Beard and Hair Colorkits deliver control, precision, and value.
