Why we like it
The Moda Team Review
For clients who want to manage grey in their beard or hair without the commitment or damage of traditional colour, No. 506 is DEPOT's professional answer. Ammonia-free, mixed 1:1 with No. 507 Color Activator, 5-10 minutes of processing, and results that look natural rather than painted. Witch Hazel Extract keeps the scalp conditioned during colouring, Pro-Vitamin B5 regenerates and protects, and Rosemary Extract adds antibacterial benefits. DEPOT's clean approach to colour — targeted, simple, masculine.

Questions? We get them.
Good to know.
The questions we hear most about this product. If yours isn’t here, a real stylist will answer.
Ask ModaDoes No. 506 Invisible Color cover grey permanently like a regular hair dye?
No. No. 506 is a semi-permanent colour — it blends grey rather than permanently covering it, and fades gradually over multiple washes. The ammonia-free formula and short processing time produce a natural, blended result that requires regular reapplication rather than a permanent commitment. This is intentional — it's designed as a maintenance colour, not a permanent transformation.
Can I use No. 506 myself at home or is it a professional-only product?
No. 506 can be used at home following the instructions carefully — mix 1:1 with No. 507 Color Activator in a non-metallic bowl, wear protective gloves, apply to dry beard or hair with the provided brush, process 5–10 minutes, then rinse. Wear dark clothing and protect the basin during use as the pigment can transfer.
I want to go darker, not just cover grey. Will No. 506 darken my natural hair colour as well?
No. No. 506 is designed to blend grey rather than change the overall colour of naturally pigmented hair. The colour deposited is most visible on white and grey hair where melanin is absent. On dark natural hair, the effect is minimal. For overall darkening, a dedicated permanent or semi-permanent hair colour product would be required.
What happens if I leave No. 506 on longer than 10 minutes? Will I get more coverage?
Extended processing beyond 10 minutes is not recommended and does not meaningfully increase coverage. The formula is designed for a 5–10 minute window. Over-processing can cause uneven colour deposition or an unexpected tonal shift. If grey coverage is still visible after a 10-minute application, a second application on the next wash day produces better results than extended processing.
I have a patchy beard — some sections are grey and some are dark. Will No. 506 make the colour look even?
Yes, blending a mixed grey and dark beard is exactly what No. 506 is designed for. The colour deposits most visibly on the white and grey sections while having minimal effect on the dark sections, which naturally creates a blended result that looks like a uniformly darker beard. Process the entire beard evenly rather than spot-treating the grey areas.
