BRUTUS Naturals Plant-Based Hair & Beard Color vs Ivory Natural Black Beard Color

Buy the Brutus Naturals if you want a warm copper blonde shade and a kit that includes gloves, a brush and a stubble sponge. Buy the Ivory Natural powder if you want a straight black shade in a jar with a long shelf life and a large base of owner ratings. Brutus builds color over 2 to 3 applications and needs 24 hours to show full results, so it suits men who plan ahead. The Ivory powder is a simpler four-ingredient mix of shikakai, black tea, hibiscus and indigo, but it only comes in black.

• Choose the Brutus Naturals if you want a copper or auburn-leaning blonde that brown dyes turn muddy, and you want applicator tools in the box.
• Choose the Ivory Natural if you want a plain black beard color in a resealable jar with a 36-month shelf life and a large pool of owner ratings.
