Just for MenControl GX Grey Reducing Shampoo Blonde & Medium Brown

At 50, I was pretty grey, pretty fast on the sides. I don’t care about getting older, I just don’t want to look like may father at the same age. I bought the blonde to light brown and used it every day for 2 weeks.I get in the shower, wet my hair, lather in this shampoo, then do the rest of my routine with body soap. I wondered how long I was actually leaving it in before I rinsed it out after I finished my routine, so I timed myself with my phone leaned against the glass. Roughly 3 minutes. Rinse it out, dry off, no issues.After 2 weeks I am back to my natural hair color. I’m lucky at 50 and have as much hair as I did at 18. Took my son and I to get a haircut by the same lady who has cut our hair for 15+ years. She actually said, “you don’t have any grey hair that’s not fair!” (She is 5 years older than me).I use it twice a week now. No change so far. Fingernails on dominate hand did change slightly. Almost like they got smashed and were dark at the cuticle. No one noticed.I have white and natural stone in my shower, so I do keep Clorox shower cleaner with bleach and spray it down after I’m done with GX (OCD).I don’t mind some grey hair, I don’t want to look like I color my hair.

My hair has gone mostly white and not any shade of grey. I had light brown/blonde hair and still have some. I'm really old school and would never in my life think of coloring my hair and I never ever would dye it like my wife would, you know those drastic color changes. This seemed to be a way I could completely control, and slowly, a gradual change back to my normal color. And just to experiment mind you. I really expected this to look unnatural. Well I can't tell you how pleased I am with this. I've shampooed daily using this and the color change is almost imperceptible from one shampoo to another. This is just what I wanted. I've used it for just about 2 weeks and the white hair has mostly gone to just about light blonde/brown. It looks like my hair color that I wanted to keep. It's funny no one has noticed but my wife. She says it looks completely natural. I still have variances in the color as I did before, and before I acquired the white hair, but the white is almost gone. I can continue to use this everyday to go darker or just once or twice a week to maintain the color I have now. My wife has just a few grey hairs and she is so impressed with my results she wants to use it herself rather than use her hair dye which she says can be unpredictable at times let alone the times she goes to the professionals and comes home in tears at what they have done. So there is my confession that I finally broke down and tried something like this. I was really thinking this just couldn't work but I was wrong. So wrong and also so impressed I had to put it out there.

This review is for the Blond/Medium Brown version of the shampoo.I've been going gray gradually for years, beginning above the ears and in the back. I tried some traditional Just for Men solutions with poor results and gave up on them. I tried salon coloring which worked well, but I could not justify the ongoing cost. When I recently began to see longer strands of gray at the hairline, I decided to give this shampoo a try. It actually works as advertised! It eliminated the longer strands of gray and gently darkened the concentrated gray patches, so it is natural looking without making it obvious that I'm using color.There are a few tips that I'll state or reiterate from other reviews:1. Before using, knead the tube for a while to ensure it's well mixed. Do this prior to each use.2. Use it every day according to the directions for 1.5 to 2 weeks or until you achieve the desired results.3. Thereafter, use once or twice a week for maintenance purposes.This is expensive for shampoo, but it's a good value compared to the coloring alternatives and you cannot beat the ease of application.

This product is really easy to use. If You're expecting a certain color, it's not your product. But if your goal is just to keep the gray under control it works wonderfully.

I had the standard beard grey coloring reducer. It worked well, but colored all my beard hairs dark. I was excited to see that they had one for blonde and medium brown. The idea for blonde to medium brown was that it would look more natural by only coloring the grey hair, therefore there would be a natural look of grey hair that would now be blonde mixed in with my darker hair. Unfortunately, it dyed all my hair, once again, very dark. If the product worked correctly it should have dyed my grey hairs blonde. This was not the case. Improvements need to be made. For people using this for the hair on their head, they would be completely disappointed, because the color change would be way too obvious/wrong.

I tried using it as directed but the color never really took, other than a pale yellowish brown. This was after 2 weeks of daily use.So I spread it medium-thick throughout my damp beard and hair, being careful not to foam it up, then waited a half hour. I'd occasionally move it around to keep the 'dye' moving around a bit.Rinsed it out and... I went from snow white to brown! Slightly darker than I wanted it, but it showed me how to get this stuff to work right from the get-go. I now use it once a week and the color has lightened a bit and maintained a less "trying too hard" look.I sometimes take it back to completely gray and then play with color - next time I'll give it 15 minutes and also apply it sooner to parts that didn't take up the color as well. Play around! It's just hair!** big bonus ** no skin irritation like the dyes that melt your face off! This stuff is gentle - the most irritation I got was from having a drying soap on my face for so long, but moisturizer fixed that right up!It won't get rid of all the gray - it definitely leaves you looking 10 years younger, like when you started to go gray and it was sexy and mature looking!
