Just for Men Control GX Gray Reducing Shampoo, Keratin, 4 Fl Oz (1 Pack)

About 35% of my hair was white when I started using Control GX. I began using it about every three days, and after my fourth use I started noticing a difference. What I really like is that it doesn’t change your hair color drastically overnight. You’re not going to show up somewhere the next day and have everyone wondering what happened to your hair. The gray gradually gets darker over several uses, which makes the result look much more natural. Once I achieved the level of gray reduction I wanted, I cut back to using it about once a week, and sometimes I can go even longer between uses. That helps me maintain the color without making my hair look unnaturally dark. It’s also very easy to apply and surprisingly clean to use. I occasionally get a few small dark drops in the shower, but they rinse away easily with water and I haven’t found it messy at all. Another important factor for me is durability. I play about 10 hours of pickleball every week in Florida’s hot and humid weather, so I sweat—a lot. I specifically wanted something that wouldn’t start running or dripping color when I sweat, and this has worked very well for that. Overall, this has been a simple and effective way for me to reduce my gray gradually while still keeping a natural look. Just don’t expect instant results. Give it several shampoos and let it work progressively—that’s actually one of its biggest advantages.

I've been using this product for years now and frankly I think it is the most natural looking and best way to get the grey out and it's super affordable. I use it on my hair and beard and it works great. That said this product is not as easy to use as the manufacturer would have you believe. Here are some tips that I have picked up over the years. 1. If you tolerate it, I like to put it in my hair and beard and let it sit for a while (about 30 minutes) before rinsing it off. I feel this gets you to the desired color faster and it lasts longer. Be careful to only get the shampoo on the intended area as your skin may stain and its hard to clean off. 2. This stuff stains everything. I keep the the tube in a freezer bag (even in the shower) as it always leaks a bit from the cap and it will stain anything the tube is sitting on. Do not leave a tube to sit in the shower or on a counter without it being in a bag. 3. Wear surgical gloves or remember to wash your hands quickly especially around the fingernails. If this stuff gets under your fingernails its hard to get out and looks terrible. 4. Don't shake your head vigorously in the shower while rinsing. Just let the water flow over your head and agitate it mildly, otherwise the drops will get all over your shower curtain and you guessed it, stain it. 5. Use a dedicated old towel you don't care about for drying your hair after using the product. I bought a black towel on Amazon and I only use that when drying my hair after using this. Remember to wash that towel alone and not with other clothes. 6. If you do get drops on the bathroom counter of shower, clean it up quickly. If you miss a spot and the stain won't come up easily because its been sitting for a while, try a magic eraser. Again, I love the product, but to keep the dye just in your hair and not anywhere else you don't want it is a process. I hope you found these tips helpful

Works, but it slowly darkens your hair. My coworkers would always ask me if I had dyed my hair because it got such dark brown. I don’t mind because I prefer that over my more medium brown hair. But just something to keep in mind if you’re not wanting to change your actual hair color!

I finally reached the mostly grey phase of my hair, my wife loves it, so does my hairdresser, but I dont. I like my jet black hair and though it does look "distinguished" to me it just looks old and I want to fight aging! My hairdresser wanted to dye it told me not to use over the counter.....ahh no thanks, I have no intention of prolonging my visit in the chair any more than my normal monthly cuts. Read the reviews on this and thought I would try it. Wow, the results are AMAZING. Super easy to use, I just rub it in after lightly dampening my hair in the shower, I wait 2 minutes then wash it out. I dont care for the fragrance, kind of a plastic chemical odor, not bad I dont care for it, so i put a dab of my nice shampoo in and give it a light wash and it takes the smell out. Took me about 6 daily uses to get my hair nearly completely black. Even my wife loves it now, makes me look 10 years younger and I feel much better. NOTE: as others mentioned, you have to be careful with your hands. The tube does say to use your palms not fingers to rub it. As much as I do, it still gets on nails and blackens them. So now I just use gloves or use as little contact with fingers as possible and rinse immediately after. I dont seem to have any problems with towels, and my counters are granite as is my shower so no issues there. Overall HIGHLY HIGHKLY recoomend

I have used this product for several years. Before they had this shampoo version, you would have to mix the product right before use and leave on for 5 minutes before rinsing off. At that time, I tried to put it on my mustache and it chemically burned the skin around my mustache. In fairness, they warned not to do that and they had a version of the product for mustache and beards so this was my fault for experimenting. With this shampoo version I use it for my mustache as well with no chemical burns, but I'm not suggesting anyone else try it; you're an adult, make your own choice. It does not work as well on my mustache but it still works enough for me. I usually rinse it off after a minute or two, but others leave it on much longer. To start, I used it every time I showered to gradually change the color and once I reached the desired effect, I used it once a week to maintain the effect. As others have said, it will stain the shower and curtains but if you wipe it off right away it usually doesn't leave a stain; and yes, it can stain your finger nails. Don't use before surgery as you may be staying longer in recovery (yes, that actually happened).

The shampoo worked okay for me, but the gray coverage was only so-so. My biggest issue was that after using it over time, I noticed it would stain my fingernails. It does reduce some of the gray, but I wasn't completely satisfied with the coverage. Overall, it works, but there are some downsides.

Very subtle reduction of the amount of grey hair I had. It looks completely natural in my opinion. If you want to darken the grey and have it look natural this is the perfect solution. You can increase or decrease the time it requires to eliminate the grey in your hair by the frequency of use and the time you let it sit before rinsing your hair. Super easy to use . It's as easy as shampooing your hair. Because that's exactly what you do with it. The subtlety and quality of it is perfect. And it makes your hair appear and feel thicker and healthier. It's very consistent and the color looks very natural. Excellent product. You won't regret using it if reduction of grey hair and your natural hair color are your goals. Use gloves because it will stain your fingernails if you use it regularly or massage it into your hair during the normal application of the product. But you will definitely like it's effectiveness and natural appearance.

I switched from the older Just For Men "Touch Of Grey" hair product and their beard and mustache product to this Control GX shampoo and the Control GX Beard Wash product over a year ago and I'm really happy with it. I give myself a haircut and a beard trim once a week with my trusty Flowbee and a cordless Norelco trimmer and then end up using the GX shampoo and Beard Wash 2-3 days in a row to cover up grey exposed by the haircut and beard trim. Then I can go the next 4-5 days with regular shampoo before I start the process over again. My hair is/was a medium brown and I'm about 70-80% grey now. I was using the M30 shade of Just For Men hair dye and beard dye. That got pretty close to what is left of my natural hair color. So you're gonna have to extrapolate to your own hair color and level of gray you're trying to cover up. Darker hair and more gray will require more work than lighter hair and less gray. It's gonna be different for everyone. The results are more natural and better looking than the Touch Of Grey product and you're not really losing much time. With the Touch of Gray there is the time spent measuring out the product and then mixing it then applying it with a little brush then cleaning up the brush and tray. With the Control GX products you have none of that. You just squeeze out roughly the amount you want and lather it in. As for wait time, the Just For Men advises a 5 minute wait before washing it out. I found that I sometimes needed 7-10 minutes if my weekly haircut had exposed a lot of gray that particular week. So between prep time, application, cleanup, and wait time, I was already in the 10-15 minute range. With the Control GX products I've found a different method works best to get the most out of the product. I'll hop in the shower and wash my hair and beard with regular shampoo to make sure skin oil and any hair products are not going to interfere with the dye. Then, without drying my wet hair and beard, I'll apply the Control GX beard wash first, then the Control GX shampoo at the sink in front of a mirror which helps me see what I'm doing. I'll set a timer on my iPad for 10 minutes then brush my teeth, shave my neck, and whatever else I need to do, lay out my clothes, etc. to kill off the 10 minutes. Then it's just hop back in the shower and rinse off the dye. Most weeks, I'll have to repeat the process 2 days in a row. Sometimes one application is enough. Sometimes a 3rd application is necessary. But a tube of product lasts me about a month, maybe 6 weeks. Not bad. When you're first starting out, especially with facial hair, you may have to go through the routine 4-5 times the first week to get the level of color/gray you want. But once you get that initial color you want, maintaining it means applying it once or twice a week in most cases. What you get is a much better blending of gray and brown hair that can be managed to any level you want by altering the number of applications and the amount of time you leave it in. It's much harder to screw up because each application has a pretty subtle effect. The difference between 5 and 10 minutes won't create a disaster like the old product could. The one caveat I'd offer is to wear the plastic gloves provided. I've gotten lazy a couple of times and tried to rinse my hands quickly after lathering up. For some reason, even a brief exposure to fingernails will dye them too, no matter how much hand washing you do. And it takes a week for it to go away. Just wear the gloves! I guess this makes sense since this stuff is made to dye hair and hair is made of Keratin, and so are your fingernails. Anyway, great product and easy to use.

Es garantía no se deslava ni cambia el tono

Ineficaz, no funciona para nada

Scarso. Non funziona

You have to wait at least 5 minutes before to rince your hair and rince the shower after to avoid dark trace on the walls or the floor of the shower/bath tube.
