good product , bad smell, 25 Mar. 2014

I bought this as I was going white at the sides and wanted a younger look without the immediate wham of hair dye.In short it works if you use it as directed but I could not take the no washing hair bit and just used a very mild shampoo.in 3 weeks it looks natural and down to one application, enough to wet the hair every couple of days.does NOT stain hands, nails or pillows BUT does smell pretty strong and so I use it before bed at nights and wash hair in the morning.All in all the results are very good with a gradual change but I wish they could alter the smell !

Worried about dying? Try this., 19 May 2012

I am 30 and have been gray in places for about 5 years. Recently thick gray patches have appeared behind my ears, with flecks all over.

I had looked into Just for Men, but really didn't want to turn up for work one day with all brown hair again! Their 'Touch of Gray' product sounds ok, but you have to do it once a month and any remaining product cannot be reused - so you need to buy a new pack every few weeks.

Then I spotted Grecian. A lot cheaper and is a gradually building product (so no sudden changes for my colleagues to make fun of). The product does not go off so there is no need to keep buying new packs.

I was surprised to find in the detailed instructions inside that ideally you should only wash your hair once a week during the first three to four week build up period. This is far from ideal and the reason it doesn't get 5 stars.

There is no way I could only wash my hair once a week, but it only says the product will be slower if you...
