I've been on T now for a little over 14 weeks and the facial hair is growing in (yay!). Some of it is visible, but a lot of it is still very light... do you think trying to dye it darker would work? The hair is a still a bit thin, would I just end up with dye all over my face? I'd like to try it, but.. do you guys think it'd work?
it would pretty much just dye your skin...yeah, it's get the hair too, but it would take a few days of scrubbing to get it off of your skin.
Try the 'just for men' stuff that takes out the gray, that might work, and you apply it with a brush, so its not going to get the whole face deal.

^^^ What Tekla said. I've heard of guys (who aren't on T) using rogain and then dyeing it with Just for Men so I don't think you'd have problems with the stuff.
I laughed when I just read this as Friday night I dyed my sideburns as they are coming in really thick haired now but light coloured :( So as I was dying my hair I thought ummmmm go for it! Well I put the hair dye on and left it for about 5-7 minutes on my side burns then I washed it off and I didn't have dye all over my face at all! I was using a cheap hair dye dark brown.
I am impressed by the results and they really can be noticed now! :)

It'll come, trust me. After being on T for nearly 9 months that light "fuzz" has turned dark and I get "sir'd" nearly always now. Patience is the long term key in regards to this.
I've never tried dying my facial hair before but i have tried dying my stomach hair in an attempt to make it even more dark it worked a little but I definitely suggest picking up a toothbrush to apply the dye lol its better for dying those types of hairs and not making a massive mess on your face xD
Just for Men facial hair dye works absolutely perfectly, and does NOT dye your skin. Why would they sell so much if it did?
Just make sure you don't make it darker than your natural hair color. Lighter is better if you have to go one way or the other... personally, after 8 months on T, even though my facial hair came in brown, my mustache faded to blonde in time and now comes in thick, but blonde.

Sebastien, do you dye your facial hair at all?

Yeah, my dad uses "Just For Men" so I gave it a try. There isn't a huge difference, but the hair that is on my face is a tiny bit more noticable, so I'm labeling it a success :laugh:!
Nope. I did before T, though. I had pretty good hair growth on my upper lip and chin before I ever went on T, so when I went full-time, I used Just for Men to accentuate that hair, since it was really light. After about 3-4 weeks on T, the hair started coming in like mad, and all of it was brown... except, like I said, my mustache, which started out brown but ended up blonde within a few months.

Took me a few years, 2.5 or 3 before I could grow a goatee. Still can't grow a decent moustache. It's blond and when I tried using Just for Men on it (which worked fine on my goatee), it looked like I had a dirty lip. Don't sweat, it'll come in time.
