What Causes Gray Hair?
Hair is made of protein containing a natural coloring substance called melanin. Dark brown or black hair simply has more melanin than light brown of blond hair. In time, as melanin decreases, gray hair forms. Most people get a few scattered gray hairs first. Then gray becomes more predominant, particularly at sideburns or temples. When there's no melanin, hair becomes white.

How Grecian Plus "Reverses" the Graying Process?
Grecian Plus Foam combines with your hair's natural protein to gradually add melanin-like pigment back into your hair. With each daily application, your hair becomes darker - gradually - until you regain the natural-looking color you desire.

Directions:

1. Before first use: shampoo, rinse and thoroughly dry hair.
2. Shake well before each use.
3. Hold can upright and press button gently to dispense foam about the size of a "golf ball" into palm.
4. Disperse foam evenly through dry hair. You may need 2 to 3 "golf balls" to cover gray completely. Hair should feel slightly damp.
5. Comb hair as usual (do not rinse). Wash hands thoroughly. Dry hair, if desired.
6. Apply daily until desired shade is reached. Thereafter, once or twice a week will maintain your natural look.

Works Pretty Much as Described (Good & Bad)
Reviewer: Brock   2009-08-23

If used as directed this probably works like a charm ---though a stinky and potentially toxic one if not handled with care as it contains Lead Acetate. Unfortunately, for people who have very oily hair like me it is impossible to follow the "for best results" directions about not shampooing your head more than once a week to reach the desired color. Nevertheless, I chose to try and stick with the product and after a couple of months of (almost) daily applications my hair darkened to a satisfactory level. (Since I'm probably less than 20% gray I can't say for sure that someone else with my hair type with considerably more gray would ever reach the desired color, but of course, you won't know if you don't try.) I am on the "maintenance dose" now which means I have to apply it 2 or 3 times a week and, while the smell is not pleasant, (despite what the package says) my wife says she can't smell unless she sticks her nose right by my hair. The other drawback alluded to above is that the chemical used to do the darkening is Lead Acetate that may be safe to use on your head (provided you have no cuts or abrasions) but that you don't want to get into your eyes or to ingest. I wash my hand at stages during and after use and I go the extra mile by wasing off the comb and the bottle itself. I also try to be cognizant of when I have put my fingers in my hair so I can avoid contact with my eyes or mouth and wash my hands again at the first opportunity. Bottom Line: There are a LOT of drawbacks, but it is pretty much the only game in town for GRADUAL hair coloring. If that is not a priority to you then "Just for Men" or getting professional hair coloring would probably be a better option for you.

Save Your MONEY !!!

This stuff smells like skunk !! Do yourself a favor and either dye your hair or shave your head !

toxic waste
Reviewer: ed from ct   2009-03-18

I have used this biohazard for almost two months now. Not only does it not work, I'm mystified as to what the FDA's requirements are for toxic waste and its use on humans. If the lead paint on my windowsill is hazardous how can this higher concentration of usless chemicals be legal. Oh well money talks and yours will walk if you use this.

alternate product; Grayban smells worse
Reviewer: david from memphis, tn   2009-02-24

Grayban does not contain lead, but smells even worse and I would anticipate similar lack of results. Go to a hairstylist !

Lead, horrible smell, disappointing color
Reviewer: david from memphis, tn   2009-02-24

After 2.5 weeks I decided to read some reviews because my color was not perceptibly changing. I knew the lead hazard from the beginning, but figured if it worked well enough to reduce applications to 1-2x per week (as the box claims) it might be worth it. The smell is awfully bad; its not so bad when first applied but after 30 minutes it smells like stale cigarette smoke mixed with cheap perfume. Finally, after all this time and following directions to the letter, I can see no color change-not even silver-grey to light-grey as some guys have mentioned. I think the color response depends mainly on the type of hair and your natural hair color from the beginning. Bottom line; I will not buy again. Got to a hairstylist and spring for the $40 or so coloring.
