Control GX Grey Reducing 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner, Gradual Hair Color with Keratin for Stronger Thicker and Healthier Looking Hair, 4 Fl Oz - Pack of 1 (Packaging May Vary)

Gradually reduces grey with regular use. Love that it works as a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner so it fits right into my routine with no extra steps.

This works very gradually. You may not see much of a difference with the first application. Give it a few times, if works. No one knows I dye my hair. When I told my barber that my hair was dyed she made me show her what I use. She says she can tell all the men that come in her shop that dye their hair, but not mine. She wanted to share the product with them. She was very impressed. Of course, I am impressive.

This 2-in-1 shampoo was exactly what I needed at a low price point to gradually reduce grey hair. The process is straightforward since it replaces my regular shampoo, and the results are more than adequate for a natural look. I’m giving it 4 stars because while it works well, it can stain fingernails or tile grout if you aren't careful to rinse everything immediately—but for the convenience, it is a solid value.

My last haircut was exactly two weeks and one day ago. Lately I'd been noticing in random pictures of me with my kids that the grey in my hair was more prominent than the black, even with hair gel helping to mask the grey. At the barber, seeing all of that grey in stark contrast to the black drape really triggered me to want to do something, but what? I have a buddy who is about the same age and wears his hair short like me, and he started going to get his hair dyed a couple years ago. To be honest, his hair color never looks good. It's either a weird shade of reddish brown, or he looks like a skunk with black tips on white hair, or it looks unnaturally dark for a middle aged dude. All that cost and maintenance to not look good. I had huge reservations in trying Control GX. I read all the reviews. Surely it couldn't actually work the way they describe, could it? It just seems too easy. Well, gents, it really is that easy. And the results really do speak for themselves. Check out my picture. Those are exactly 2 weeks apart, using the shampoo 1-2x a day. Both have my typical amount of hair gel in. The difference is shocking and yet subtle. I think I'm going to go into maintenance mode from here because it still looks natural, just a bit younger. Some notes to help make the experience as positive as possible: 1) I used gloves. Palms only didn't feel like it gave me the control I wanted to get the shampoo where I wanted it, and even when I tried to use palms only I still had light staining of my nails after just one wash. 2) Use and old or grey towel. Preferably an old, grey towel. It WILL stain your towel slightly. 3) I got some light staining of the skin around my hairline initially. It was easy to remove with some exfoliant and scrubbing, but now I'm very careful to only apply the shampoo to my hair (gloves help) and then immediately wipe the skin alone my hairline with freshly washed hands while the shampoo is doing its thing while I wash the rest of me. After I wash my body, I rinse out my hair really well and then wash my face/ears/neck. I'm guessing the shampoo is sitting on my hair for about 4-5 minutes per shower. 4) Rinse your shower walls and floor. Splatters will stain, although they're pretty easy to remove off of our white tile. Thankfully we have one of those separate hand nozzles in the shower, so it's convenient. 5) I find that the dyed hair is a bit duller than natural, which is not an issue for me since my gel has a bit of gloss to it. I think that's it! 2 weeks to a new you! Trust me, I'm as surprised as anyone that something so inexpensive could be so effective and subtle. Oh, and I had no irritation. Good luck!

This product works very well! I highly recommend it.

Not nearly as effective as I thought and you will definitely need to use a dark colored towel to dry your hair. I'm used to hair dyes that you leave in for 5 minutes and presto your hair is back to it's original color. This works more gradually, but it fades away faster too especially do not wash your hair with it every single day or if you swim in a pool every day. Perhaps this was a good invention, but for whatever reason it hasn't worked well for me nor do I like getting stains on my white wall tiles & white Egyption cotton towels. I'll stick with what works best, the hair dye. I only need to use that once every 3-4 weeks, it's more convenient, and there's far less mess.

This is the perfect grey reducer, it's progesive and not absolute so it looks natural not like you paint the hair. You have to use gloves otherwise your nails will get dark too.

I am almost 55 years old. My beard is pretty much completely white (yes, not gray, actually white). My sides are pretty much the same way. The only little bit of my original dark brown hair that is left is on top and that has become less and less as time goes on. I have been using this product on both my hair and beard for a couple years or so now and had great results. I have seen some reviews reporting hair loss. My hair is pretty fine and I have had no hair loss using this product. This is the best alternative out there to traditional hair dyes. Do not expect instant results. It is not meant to work that way. It is a gradual change. When I first started using it, I used it every day until I got to the color I liked. It took around 2 weeks or so I think. Since then I use it 2 to 3 times a week and that's it. A small dab for my hair and a small dab for my beard is all it takes. You do not have to use a large amount. One tube should last you for a while. It does not work as well on very short hair. I keep my sides buzzed and it does darken some, just not as much as the longer hair. So it does look like I have a little gray on the sides, but I do not mind this. It looks much more natural than all my hair just being one solid color from hair dye. And it is not white, it still darkens some. I use this on my beard as well and have from the start. I do not think there is much difference from the Control GX they sell for beards. But as I said, it does not work as well on shorter hair. So if you have a close cropped beard, your results will vary. I do get some darkening of the fingernails, but I just use a fingernail file on them to remove the stains about once every couple months. Not a big deal and small price to pay for the convenience and natural results. So if you are tired of trying cover your gray with traditional hair dye, this product is definitely worth a try. I am very happy that I discovered it and I will never go back to traditional hair dyes. Natural looks, convenience and great cost make this a must have and a great value. Highly recommended.
