MENFIRST Gray Reducing Shampoo for Men - Hair Darkening

The 1st sentence in the Product Description says "Are you looking for an effective way to reverse grey hair without dye or messy color treatments?". Without dye? This stuff has Basic Blue 99, Basic Brown 16, Basic Yellow 87 & Basic Red 51 in it. That's hardly without dye. Amazon, you really need to address this. After doing the 48-hour reaction test I tried this. The first time it turned my hair light, bright red. I've never had red hair in my life. Like that's not going to be glaringly obvious. It also turned my fingernails reddish brown (nothing about gloves in the instructions) most of which I got off by scrubbing like crazy & using a little bit of tile cleaner on a sponge to get off the more stubborn stains. It looks like I dipped my fingers in barbecue sauce & didn't get it all wiped off. I didn't slather this stuff on either, just enough to get a good lather. Even with that small amount it left reddish brown streaks on my shower. Fortunately I caught that soon enough that with a lot of bathroom cleaner & healthy scrubbing I got it off. If this stuff would have dried without me noticing the shower would have been permanently stained. Stay far, far away from this.

Skip this one. I have been looking for a better and lower cost solution than Just For Men, and this is not it. It is an orange dye with no shampoo value. I am convinced it does not actually help your hair and instead just turns your scalp orange which makes your hair different. It is really hard to get the orange staining off of your hands. To get a 1 starcreview from me the product has to be terrible, and this is a definite 1 star-er.

Stains hands and if you don’t have much hair on top of your head, Your scalp get stained you have to use shampoo to try to wash it off your scalp, not using anymore

It darkens your hair nicely and leave some grey. I have reordered this.

This product is made with good ingredients, smells good, and makes your hair soft, but it just doesn't work as advertised. I have used almost a whole bottle of this, and I haven't noticed any results from it. At $20 for a small (ish) bottle, it's kind of expensive, compared to other shampoo's.

Turned my hands orange instantly, tried again after I squeezed and shook it vigorously and once again turned my hands orange 😞

Much more gentle than other products but not as effective. More expansive and must use more. Works well when used regularly.

I've used and appreciated Menfirst Gradual Gray reducing shampoo before but this batch is different. 1) The label information was in Spanish so if the directions had changed from before, I couldn't read it. 2) Even after shaking, the shampoo came out of the tube in nearly the consistency of water. It ran through my fingers and what I managed to get in my hair mostly ran off. This consistency made a hell of a mess as it splattered all around the shower so I had to scrub the shower after use to prevent staining. 3) Unlike the previous shampoo, this batch immediately stained my hands creating the need to scrub my hands multiple times.
