Wendy T.CTA Wife's OpinionAfter reading these reviews written by some men who were pleased and displeased by the use of this product, I thought a wife's view would be helpful. As I use hair dye myself, I wanted to be supportive of my husband of 32 years who felt the need to cover the gray, He has used this product for 5 years. If I could, I would have given it zero stars.
Imagine an intense chemical smell as soon as it is put on. That odor and wet chemical are enough to make your eyes water and your stomach turn. Then imagine the sun hitting the top of your head and sweat producing the intense smell of burnt tires and rotten eggs. All of your nice pillow cases will be brown and will add that rotten egg smell to all of your bedding if you include the pillow cases with the sheets. It intensifies in the drier, so don't plan on them having the smell of your laundry detergent. Wash the pillow cases separate.
The color achieved after all of this is a sulfur yellow tinge to what would be a wonderful salt and pepper. Even if it would work well, the smell is prohibitive.
This product moves me to tears as it is very difficult to hug my husband without having to run in the bathroom to wash it off my face before my eyes and skin burns. I wait til he goes out the door so he does not see this.I have to sleep turned away from him at night. I am aware of this smell with every waking moment. I feel sick, and sometimes I dread going to bed. I smell it on Sundays sitting next to him in the pew. Its smell invades our bedroom.
I try to keep quiet and not embarrass him, but I am afraid that I am beyond supportive at this time. I have told him how it smells and shared the information about the chemicals in it that I have found on-line.
One of the worst memories of this smell has got to be going to Paris to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary after saving for many years. He used it the first morning and we went out to enjoy the city. The sun was bright and the sulfur smell became strong. I had to be conscious of holding his hand as we walked and not be downwind. I noticed some of the other tourists making a face as they smelled it and wanted to be protective of him.
I truly believe that love conquers all- but this product seems invincible. Husbands....do not use this!posted Last weekLink to this post -
Brittany F.Cheap Costs More In The Llong Run.This stuff is horrible compared to the foam. It is too messy to put on you do have to be careful how you use it. I'm happy I invested in one bottle I wont buy another, for sure.posted Jul 8, 2010Link to this post

Kel B.Long Island, NyWorkingI've used it 4 times this week on my graying blond hair and I'm pretty impressed with the results so far. I put it on after work and wash my hair the next morning. I only have a little gray above my temples at this point where I had gray throughout my hair. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones, but I'm going to keep it up and see how it goes.posted Jul 8, 2010Link to this post

BrianI Agree, Doesn't Work.It took me two bottles to realize it wasn't working. I have followed the instructions to the letter and use no other products on my hair. Waste of time, effort, and money not to mention the toxic smell.posted Feb 19, 2010Link to this post
