Grecian Hair Color Lotion 125ml

This is a great product. I used to use it years a go but have started using it again. I forgot how well it works. I usually put it in my hair at night and leave it in until the morning. My hair is definitley getting darker. A lot of hair colour products are getting very expecive these days. But this seems to give me more long term results.

I didn't want to dye my hair as it can look ridiculous as you get older, so I thought I'd give Grecian a try. I'd read the reviews and some weren't too promising, anyway I bought a bottle and read the instructions, it tells you to put some in the palm of your hand and apply it to your hair, this is not a good idea as it just falls every where and waste a lot of the lotion, I found a small plastic food tray and tipped a small amount of lotion into it and dipped my comb and combed it through my hair, paying more attention to the grey parts, any lotion which is left I tip back into the bottle. After a week's daily use I began to see results and was quite pleased my hair colour had partly returned, when you wash your hair the colour does seem to wash out slightly, but you just need to top up again. All in all I've been very pleased with the results, hope this helps.

Haven't used yet. But the product is really good as I have used for 10 years. You can control how grey you go by the amount you use. My dad used it and as a female use too and very happy. But I don't use on the whole of my head just partial.

Difficult to get hold of these days and quite expensive but does the job for me.

This solution does work to some extent by working on the hairs own pigment. It is not a dye. You will need to apply it on a regular basis to get the optimum effect. It is easy to apply and is not messy at all. It may stain the collar of your shirt but it comes off on washing readily. It is a little overpriced but a bottle will last for several months.

Items arrived next day and in good condition good product I will be reordering again next time

So I remember this stuff from when I was a kid getting a hair cut in barber shops. Now I've got a pair of silver sides and a growing fleck of grey up top. Didn't want to do a full dye job, wanted to keep a hit of grey. Grecian 2000 seemed like the ideal choice. Pros: Ok, it does work a bit, but very gradually. I mean, really, it takes ages. After 2 week you can see a slight difference, after 4 the hard silver sheen has gone, and there's a pale brown tint in it's place. You can still see flecks of silver, this isn't a full dye experience. Actually I think the look is ok, but after 4 weeks I expected more, especially considering the cons below. It's easy to apply - I used the lotion - once you get the technique. I go to the gym most week days and do water sports, so my hair was getting washed regularly. I just put more lotion in each time after drying my hair afterwards. This probably slowed the process down a bit, I probably also used much more lotion then normal, but didn't stop it working. Cons: As reported elsewhere, the smell. Don't expect your significant other to get too excited by the new aroma you'll be emitting when you have this stuff in your hair. Fortunately it doesn't carry much, but anyone getting close is going to get a sampling of what a volcano smells like - the sulfur smell is pretty bad. You get used to it, but nobody else will. Seriously, you need to plan any romantic escapades around having a hair wash first to get rid of the stuff. The other biggie is the brown colour it stains your sweat when you work out. Prepare for your gym towel to get brown stains.The brown colour doesn't appear immediately, but starts after an hour or two. If you're not careful, it will stain your collar but the colour does come out when you wash the shirt (thank goodness). It also leaves a faint yellow mark on pillow cases, which also disappears when it's washed. Conclusion: It really is a drag that it works so slowly. You really need to persevere. I tried. Walking around for six weeks smelling of sulfur is pretty tough and the hassle with staining sweat is a pain too. As it is, it does offset grey but the super slow speed at which it works, coupled with the smell, makes it hard to keep going. I would give it 4 stars if the dye process was twice or 5 stars if it were four times as fast. Then it would be worth the hassle. But as it is, sorry, I'm going to try Touch of Grey instead.

It works for me
