Grecian Plus Formula Hair Color with Conditioner for Men, Liquid, 4 Ounce

I used this product years ago but decided to use "natural" hair coloring for a while. After a recent disastrous experience with henna, I decided to go back to it and found that it still works great. My hair had grown out about 2 inches and was half white and half henna red (and looked ridiculous). This time, I didn't want to wait 3 weeks for the Grecian Formula to work, so I soaked my hair with it and wore a plastic bonnet all day to keep it from drying. By evening, the white hair was a nice light brown. My reddish henna hair seemed to blend better with the now darker hair and looked a lot better than the stark contrast of the red/white combination I had going on. Also, I don't have to worry about getting caught in a rainstorm and having dark hair rinse dripping down my face. Now I just spray it on 2 or 3 times per week to maintain the color. Good stuff! Just make sure to shake it very well before putting it on or it won't work as well.

I guess the effectiveness must vary quite a bit between individuals. I used Grecian quite a few years ago to minimize my "premature" gray. This time, after three weeks of use and about 40% of a bottle consumed, the color difference is close to imperceptible. I have been careful to vigorously shake the bottle before dispensing into my palm, then applying two palmfuls at the start of each day and washing the hair once every four days. The resulting difference in coloration between my original completely gray and the present is so slight as to be uncertain, so it must work better for most men. I'll finish with this bottle and evaluate but so far, it's really really slow going. Update: I am now, at 2+ months, on the 2nd half of the second bottle with the hair still gradually darkening. I am still washing hair only twice/week with liberal morning application and vigorous shaking of the bottle. Boy, this is a lot slower than I would have expected... Update: After about seven months of daily usage and twice a week shampooing, I can say that I now have a definite darkening of my hair. It's not gray anymore, but a fairly uniform medium to light brown. So it is easy to use and works, just be very very patient if you're starting from full gray.

This stuff is great. It does what it says it will do. My 80 year-old friends with coal black hair and eyebrows always make me smile. Use GF every day until you have the desired grey out, then use twice each week to maintain. I use a hairbrush rather than a comb. The bottle has a stream applicator, but as one reviewer states, you can get a 2 or 3 ounce spray bottle at the dollar store or walmart and spray it on. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. Shake well before dispensing. This spray applicator uses les than 0.5 oz. per application. I brush the application to the back, then to the sides, then forward before brushing it into position. Do not spray near eyes. Place any excess on your finger and apply to eyebrows if desired. No smell - Very mild aroma. Non-greasy - holds much like a spray of water.

Used it for six months then I told someone, "I felt if women could use makeup I could use Grecian." They said, "Don't use that junk. Leave your hair the way it is now; natural." That one conversation is why I have used it for three years. I have seen no negative results

Unlike some,l I found this to be vry effective. I slowly colors your hair back to original color over time. Some object to the lead pigment, but I don't think there is much to worry about. Works very well. Great alternative to keep coloring your hair.
