Control GX

I was dubious of this product, but thought I'd give it a go.It does work - started noticing a difference after 3 days and have reached the level I want after 12 (salt-and-pepper with much more pepper). Will be switching to every other day and see how it goes.Key benefits for me:- Takes no additional time over regular showering/hair-washing. Lather up, let it sit there for a couple of minutes while you wash, then rinse it off.- Because it dyes little and often, roots don't become visible as they would with a permanent.- Greys seem to blend better than permanent dyes, avoiding that reddish-brown tint they can have.- Looks totally natural as greys remain, but really toned down.- Remarkably, doesn't stain the skin - not sure how that works, but it does.- Smells pleasant, no stinging or itching that I've noticed.I've been careful to keep it off my nails to prevent staining that some people have mentioned. No issues with that.Don't expect this to make your hair a solid mop of dark-brown with no greys - that would be defeating the point of this product. Use this if you want really toned-down greys and a natural look.Overall, this is a bit of a miracle product. Not only does the colour look good and natural, but it's also very convenient to use. Won't be using anything else from now on.

In short - I'm VERY happy indeed .. here's my review in more detail ITS A REVIEW AFTER 2 MONTHS OF USAGE! *don't you hate those reviews after 1 week etc! :Does it work?My hair is a natural brown, 80% grey on the short sides 40% grey on the longer top and and for that Yes It works! As it says on the package - it leaves greys. I can control the level of grey ok on the longer hairs - package says leave it in for 1 min - by doing it less or more time it makes a big short term difference. So if going out on an evening you want it darker - leave it 1m 30s. etc. Play with the time would be my advice. To begin with I used it just twice a week - I didn't want to over do the affect in one big bang. But I'm super happy with the colour since it is natural looking and doesn't have that fake tint on normal dyes. Also, because you use it regularly, you don't start having grey roots.. what man does "root colouring"?? The affect on my short side head hairs is less pronounced - it doesn't seem to catch on them as much (I have a number one shave at the hairdressers)Tip 1: play with the time you leave it inTip 2: don't leave it in too long / use it too much at the beginning - better to build it upTip 3: give the bottle a shake !Does it stain bathrooms?Originally I'd of said no but one day, in a rush, I left some shampoo on the shower floor.. Holy cow did it go brown! I then spent a month brushing it off again. Be VERY careful to clean down the shower after every usage. I use a big (fake) chamee cloth. Doesn't take long. BE CAREFUL and you'll be fine. As others have said, as a general shampoo it is remarkably good.Tip 4: clean down the bathroom / shower after use!Will I buy it again? Yes !! I'm completely hooked. I love it and hated having grey hair. Short of a pill to restore original hair colour, I love this product. If I ever heard they are going to stop making it I'd buy 10 years supply of it. I might do it anyway just in case! Honestly the best grey hair solution I've ever found. Judging by other comments, some people say it doesn't work on their hair.

I am 28 and recently found I was going more and more grey by the day it seemed. I bought this and then didn't use it for about 6 weeks due to being in denial. Anyway, I used it every day for about a week and not much changed, then by week 2 I felt I noticed a real difference. I moved to using it 2-3 times a week and gradually found my hair colour has gone quite a bit darker (at least a couple of shades) than it was before.It was enough for my girlfriend to make a comment about whether or not I had finally tried the shampoo I got!I would say it's a good product, it doesn't really target grey hair but it definitely reduces it, however it does also make your overall colour a couple of shades darker. Now that I am in "maintenance mode" I'll keep using it as it's easier than dye, but would suggest people who aren't using any hair colouring products to cover their greys, just to skip this and go to Just for Men. If your overall hair colour is going to change, may as well get it over and done with in one go.If you want that gradual change though, this works great.

I tried it during one month and read the patents, my opinion is that's really a breakthrough ! All my gratitude to the chemists who made it possible, they will probably change the life of millions of unfortunate grey-hair men (and women)...I would have never used a traditional hair dye because of the artificial look and immediate change. They used to exist some alternative lead-based products, but they don't work anymore since lead was replaced by bismuth for safety reasons...It’s not really a shampoo as they are some constraints (use gloves) but the effect it has and will have in the years to come on your general appearance and social image is so big that I really don't care (and I think you should not)...It’s not perfect though, the main weakness is that it will darken your whole hair : the still coloured hairs will get darker than your natural colour before/as the grey hairs become dark-grey. If you look in details you will always find many grey hairs, unless you’re ready for your whole hair to be totally black…What’s important for me is the general impression achieved and a reasonable use (1-2x/week) gives me total satisfaction (it works also very well on my beard)…Very efficient, very natural result, incredibly inexpensive compared to salon hair dyes… again a big THANK YOU to the Combe chemists.
