What's in
the box?
A tube of shampoo. Because it’s that easy.
But you’ll find it by Just For Men products in the shaving aisle. Because it’s that good at reducing grey.

I am a woman in my mid 60s with just a touch of grey around my ears . This product works - very impressed . But it does stain towels no matter how well you rinse . Have bought a dollar store towel to use .It is cheaper than a hair salon visit.

Generally, I am not impressed with this product at all.
First, my nails have gone dark grey / black. Initially this was just under the nail (which I could scrap out), but now after 10 uses over 14 days the whole nail on the first two fingers for both hands are stained. And yes I have a nail brush in the shower, and scrubbed my hands after use.
Second, despite the warnings and my attempts, I still have some splatter stain marks in the shower. And yes, I would spray water around and use my hand and a clothe to wipe around, to try and get everything visible, but I've found staining the next day when it's dry
Finally, after all that, I don't know much of a change after 10 uses.

Comments about Control GX Shampoo:
Very easy to use and I have used it maybe 3 weeks now. My wife actually has started to notice the difference. I have long hair with bold white streaks in the front and dark in the back, it went gradually from white to grey to a dark steel color and blends in good. I'm happy at the stage of color and will use it as necessary now that I have reached the color I want. Make sure u rinse your shower after use because it will stain areas that don't get rinsed.

Comments about Control GX Shampoo:
I tried this product for a few weeks, it covers the gray quite well with two exceptions: Turned my hair color brown, where my hair was naturally black, it does not do a good job with short hair, I keep my hair very short on the sides, and for whatever reason this product is unable to color it.
Overall it does a decent job, BUT I do not want to have a brown hair color.

Comments about Control GX Shampoo:
Works fine, no staining of nails or the WHITE towel that I bathe and wash hair with. My only (minor) concern is that my natural hair color is dark brown/black, but the product seems to dye it closer to a brown tinge. Otherwise, works great, really easy, no muss, no fuss. Overall, a 9/10.

Comments about Control GX Shampoo:
This shampoo works as advertised. I've been using it for two weeks. I didn't notice anything in the first week so I wondered if I was over rinsing. One week later, after a little less rinsing, and I'm now to the point that I have to slow it down a little.
Drawback: I have rough working mans hands and even though I washed (with soap) after using, I was getting badly stained hands. So I started scrubbing my hands while still in the shower using my wash cloth and that has helped a lot.
Also, it is a better 2 in 1 than most.

Comments about Control GX Shampoo:
I have been using hair color over 10 years and Control GX shampoo for the past 5 months. I highly recommend this shampoo over just color for a smooth, more natural and consistent look (my hair stylist likes it better too ;-))

Easy to use, just have to watch that you rinse your shower walls off after use or they will stain. Watch that you keep it away from your nails or they will turn black. Other than that, easy to use and great results.

Merchant response: To prevent staining, we suggest rinsing hair thoroughly, and using soap and water to wash areas that might have come in contact with the Control GX shampoo. Shampooing your hair with wet hands may also help prevent staining. We've heard that some men have used a moisturizer or lotion on their hands before showering to protect their hands from staining. Others wear gloves while shampooing.
