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)

This hair and conditioner shampoo is an excellent choice to help retain your hair color for years after gray hair begins showing. I use it once or twice after a haircut than once a week for maintenance. Than repeat after your next cut. The shorter your hair the more difficult it is to retain or mask and gray hairs. So very short men’s cut will make it very difficult to cover up or mask any gray. It’s the simplest no nonsense coverage. Utilize in the shower and rinse thoroughly including your shower. He conditioner will give you hair soft and very full appearance and feel. This will increase that thin hair appearance to a full head of hair.

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 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.

Worked well after several washes it definitely brought bown back to my hair.

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!

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.

it does the job...!

This stuff is great! Like my father, I started getting noticeably gray in my 30's. That doesn't really bother me much, but I work in the IT field, and it's hard to get respect in that world when you look like "the old people who don't understand technology". It's a stereotype. I wanted to hide some of the gray, but not bad enough to want to spend a ton of money or time on it. I'm definitely not paying a salon to do it for me. A relative of mine colors his hair, but it takes him a ton of time to do it each time, makes a mess of his bathroom, and sometimes ends up with that greenish hue - definitely not messing with that. This is great! It's literally just like the description says: use it in place of your regular shampoo, leave it on for a few minutes, rinse it out, and watch the grays slowly darken! I usually leave it on for about 4-5 minutes. I used it once a day for the first week, and there was a noticeable improvement by the end of that week. It was too gradual to really notice it each day, which makes it perfect for regular life, but my family could tell by the end of the week. Now that I've got the look I wanted, I use it about 3-4 times a week to maintain. I did notice that it doesn't work nearly as quickly on my beard as the top of my head. By the time the top of my head looked like I wanted, I was just starting to notice the improvement in my beard. It took at least 2 weeks before my beard was where I wanted it. It takes a bit more maintenance too since my beard grows a lot faster than the top of my head. That may vary from person-to-person I'd imagine. Either way, it works! It's very affordable, super easy to use, and looks perfectly natural. GREAT product!
