Review (1/5): Big Disappointment
I was really hopeful that this would be the beard color I'd been waiting so long for. One that wouldn't make my face break out, since developing an allergic reaction to Just For Men after years of use AND a beard color that would actually work to give my beard back it's color, unlike henna, which never really worked on my beard after repeatedly waiting hours for them to take effect. Unfortunately, VOLT was a major disappointment.
When I opened the item, it felt like there was hardly any in there. After shaking the bottle vigorously to mix, then using the supplied brush, it felt like there was barely any liquid on it. The brush almost felt dry going on. So it took repeated dips of the brush to apply. If this is the case, I don't know how it's expected to get even 5 uses out of that bottle, much less 31. And I only have a low stubble goatee. God forbid I actually had a full beard.
Once I finished the application, what I was left with was looking like I took black shoe polish and applied it to my goatee. Even though the directions said it dries immediately, I let it all dry for about 5 minutes, then ran some cold water over it to try to get rid of that caked on look. What I ended up with was a good portion removed from the center of my beard. So I said screw it and ran some hot water with shampoo to take it all off. If it's like this, there's no way I would've been able to work out with it on the way I sweat. What I would've ended up with was the embarrassment of showing up at the gym with a dark, shoe polished looking goatee at the beginning of my workout and finishing that workout with barely any of the original presentation of said beard intact. Instead, I only ended up wasting $28 and about 25 minutes of my time. Fifteen minutes with the application and removal process of this product and another ten minutes writing this review to warn you all not to waste your money or time on it.
