I have reached the age where I will need to start coloring my hair. I am considering using "Just for Men". One of the FAQs mentions that gloves are supplied to avoid staining the hands. I am bald on top. How do I stop the product from staining my scalp? Also, since I have less hair than the average man, can I use the product for two applications?

As a woman that has colored my hair for years, I can tell you that it is hard to keep the color stored once you have opened it. With coupons and sales you should be able to get the product for little or nothing.
Also, most of your questions should be able to be answered by phone. The product will have an "800" number to call and even get some coupons for the product. I hope this helps!
I have baby fine, short hair. I always threw away more hair color solution than I used. Several years ago I got smart. I realized that the hair color solution doesn't "keep" because the two ingredients have been mixed together! Check the two containers in your haircoloring kits. Although the containers are in different shapes they contain the very same amount of liquid! I screw off the caps ( don't snap off or break off any "tips"...just unscrew the container lid or cap). I have a set of plastic (not metal !) measuring spoons and a small glass (not metal!) bowl that I use. I pour out EQUAL amounts from each bottle (measured in my measuring spoons) into the glass bowl and mix with a plastic spoon. For example...use 2 Tbsp. of color and 2 Tbsp. of activator. Tightly cap the remaining products (unmixed and in their original bottles) and use the next time.
I helped a guy I know touch up his hair - & applied some men's gel color sparingly with a toothbrush - and left becoming snowy areas at the temples. Don't think you can totally restore your color, especially if it was dark - you should just touch up - otherwise your hair will look harsh and definitely dyed. The best advice I ever heard about coloring is to do it messily - as no one's real hair color is EVEN.
Wayward haircolor can, frequently, be removed with alcohol on a cotton ball or washcloth.
Clairol is a great product and call the toll free number for expert help.
If you want to try it yourself allow time for this.
If your hair is dark you need to try a shade lighter
Don't be afraid to visit a hair salon to have your color applied; most are unisex now.
A cheaper (and to some, sexier) alternative is to keep it shaved Marine or biker bald. Buzz your remaining scalp hair off with a cheap electric clipper (it's a good idea to do it standing in a dry shower to catch the hair), then follow up with an electric shaver.
