## Overview

Just for Men Control GX is a revolutionary shampoo that gradually reduces grey hair with every wash using a triple patented keratin formula. It cleanses and conditions while boosting hair volume, delivering stronger, thicker, and naturally colored hair without ammonia or peroxide. Ideal for all hair shades, it offers an easy, no-fuss alternative to traditional dyes, letting you control your grey reduction pace and maintain a polished, youthful appearance effortlessly.

## Description

Control GX is the first and only shampoo smart enough to gradually reduce greys by slowly bringing them back to their natural shade while it cleanses and conditions your hair. You get an extremely natural look - just by shampooing as you normally do. Just use it instead of your usual shampoo until you like what you see. Then use it in rotation with your usual shampoo to maintain the look you like. There's never been an easier way to control your grey. Get the look you want: Use the control GX as your daily shampoo, and after the first few washes, you'll start to see a subtle reduction in the amount of gray. Continue to use it until you reach your desired level of grey reduction (generally within 2 to 4 weeks). You can even control how gradually you get to your desired result by using it daily or every other day at the start. Keep it that way: Once you've reached the level of grey reduction you like, you can reduce the frequency of use, alternating with another shampoo. In general guys use it as their daily shampoo at the start, and when they are in "maintenance mode" they use it 3 to 4 times a week.

Review: Tips on how to use - I've been using this product for years now and frankly I think it is the most natural looking and best way to get the grey out and it's super affordable. I use it on my hair and beard and it works great. That said this product is not as easy to use as the manufacturer would have you believe. Here are some tips that I have picked up over the years. 1. If you tolerate it, I like to put it in my hair and beard and let it sit for a while (about 30 minutes) before rinsing it off. I feel this gets you to the desired color faster and it lasts longer. Be careful to only get the shampoo on the intended area as your skin may stain and its hard to clean off. 2. This stuff stains everything. I keep the the tube in a freezer bag (even in the shower) as it always leaks a bit from the cap and it will stain anything the tube is sitting on. Do not leave a tube to sit in the shower or on a counter without it being in a bag. 3. Wear surgical gloves or remember to wash your hands quickly especially around the fingernails. If this stuff gets under your fingernails its hard to get out and looks terrible. 4. Don't shake your head vigorously in the shower while rinsing. Just let the water flow over your head and agitate it mildly, otherwise the drops will get all over your shower curtain and you guessed it, stain it. 5. Use a dedicated old towel you don't care about for drying your hair after using the product. I bought a black towel on desertcart and I only use that when drying my hair after using this. Remember to wash that towel alone and not with other clothes. 6. If you do get drops on the bathroom counter of shower, clean it up quickly. If you miss a spot and the stain won't come up easily because its been sitting for a while, try a magic eraser. Again, I love the product, but to keep the dye just in your hair and not anywhere else you don't want it is a process. I hope you found these tips helpful
Review: The best solution I've found. Easy to use and results look the most natural. - I switched from the older Just For Men "Touch Of Grey" hair product and their beard and mustache product to this Control GX shampoo and the Control GX Beard Wash product over a year ago and I'm really happy with it. I give myself a haircut and a beard trim once a week with my trusty Flowbee and a cordless Norelco trimmer and then end up using the GX shampoo and Beard Wash 2-3 days in a row to cover up grey exposed by the haircut and beard trim. Then I can go the next 4-5 days with regular shampoo before I start the process over again. My hair is/was a medium brown and I'm about 70-80% grey now. I was using the M30 shade of Just For Men hair dye and beard dye. That got pretty close to what is left of my natural hair color. So you're gonna have to extrapolate to your own hair color and level of gray you're trying to cover up. Darker hair and more gray will require more work than lighter hair and less gray. It's gonna be different for everyone. The results are more natural and better looking than the Touch Of Grey product and you're not really losing much time. With the Touch of Gray there is the time spent measuring out the product and then mixing it then applying it with a little brush then cleaning up the brush and tray. With the Control GX products you have none of that. You just squeeze out roughly the amount you want and lather it in. As for wait time, the Just For Men advises a 5 minute wait before washing it out. I found that I sometimes needed 7-10 minutes if my weekly haircut had exposed a lot of gray that particular week. So between prep time, application, cleanup, and wait time, I was already in the 10-15 minute range. With the Control GX products I've found a different method works best to get the most out of the product. I'll hop in the shower and wash my hair and beard with regular shampoo to make sure skin oil and any hair products are not going to interfere with the dye. Then, without drying my wet hair and beard, I'll apply the Control GX beard wash first, then the Control GX shampoo at the sink in front of a mirror which helps me see what I'm doing. I'll set a timer on my iPad for 10 minutes then brush my teeth, shave my neck, and whatever else I need to do, lay out my clothes, etc. to kill off the 10 minutes. Then it's just hop back in the shower and rinse off the dye. Most weeks, I'll have to repeat the process 2 days in a row. Sometimes one application is enough. Sometimes a 3rd application is necessary. But a tube of product lasts me about a month, maybe 6 weeks. Not bad. When you're first starting out, especially with facial hair, you may have to go through the routine 4-5 times the first week to get the level of color/gray you want. But once you get that initial color you want, maintaining it means applying it once or twice a week in most cases. What you get is a much better blending of gray and brown hair that can be managed to any level you want by altering the number of applications and the amount of time you leave it in. It's much harder to screw up because each application has a pretty subtle effect. The difference between 5 and 10 minutes won't create a disaster like the old product could. The one caveat I'd offer is to wear the plastic gloves provided. I've gotten lazy a couple of times and tried to rinse my hands quickly after lathering up. For some reason, even a brief exposure to fingernails will dye them too, no matter how much hand washing you do. And it takes a week for it to go away. Just wear the gloves! I guess this makes sense since this stuff is made to dye hair and hair is made of Keratin, and so are your fingernails. Anyway, great product and easy to use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: No matter how i shake, the end of the tube is alway just dark brown (beige out of a new tube). is this going to work the same?**
A: I've been using Control GX for a couple of years.  This product uses a chemical reaction that depends on oxygen to activate the dye.  Sealed up in the tube it's a beige color.  Once you squeeze it out and apply, it begins to react with the oxygen in the air and darken over the course of 5-10 minutes.  You'll even notice a further small amount of color change over the 24 hours after you've rinsed it out and dried your hair as oxygen continues to react with the dye bonded to your hair.

The key to minimize the color change in the tube is to minimize the exposure to oxygen while it is stored for weeks while you use it.  If you are using it say 4 times per week you may go through a tube in a couple of weeks and that will limit the amount of time it will sit in the tube reacting to oxygen.

Personally, I have a medium brown natural hair color.  After getting my hair color where I wanted it, I only use Control GX once or twice a week to maintain the look I want.  So a tube will last me 4-6 weeks.  In that time, it will oxidize and turn partially black.  

But there is something you can do to minimize that.  When you finishing applying and you're waiting for the dye to work, go back and pop open the tube then squeeze it so that the goop inside is just about to come out.  Now close the cover and make sure it snaps shut.  That will expel 99% of the oxygen from the now partially empty tube and seal it as well as possible.  Store it standing up vertically so the stuff inside forms a seal against the top (bottom when stored).  If you don't do this, all that space inside the tube that used to be filled with Control GX ends up filled with oxygen and the chemical reaction will take place.

With that said, I use it whether or not is is oxidized and it still seems to have an effect even if it is partially oxidized.

**Q: Will the chlorine in a swimming pool or hot tub bleach out the product or cause it to run off?**
A: So you have a couple of questions here.  Let me unpack the easiest one first.  No LOL, the product doesn't run under any circumstance.  Once you've rinsed off the Control GX and you're out of the shower, the dye is set in your hair until you cut that hair off.  You won't end up looking like Rudy Guiliani with shoe polish in your hair.  The dye chemically bonds with the keratin of your hair.  And nothing short of another chemical is going to break those bonds.

Which brings us to your second question.  Will pool chlorine affect the color of hair dye.  I have an in ground pool with a chlorine system.  The short answer is yes, chlorine is a highly reactive chemical.  That's why it's used to control bacteria in a pool in low concentrations and get fabrics white in the laundry at higher concentrations.  And as we all know, chlorine will absolutely destroy fabric dyes in a washing machine.  Wanna ruin a pair of black jeans? Throw em in the wash with some chlorine bleach.

It's the same with hair dye.  Chlorine will absolutely react with anything it comes in contact with.  But.....if you're using a pool with proper pH balance and chlorine levels, the effect is very minimal in my experience.  I use my pool several times a week from June - September and I really don't notice much impact.  If you're in and out of the pool for a couple of hours and then go take a shower, you won't notice much impact if any.  If you're in the pool 4 hours a day and leave the chlorine in your hair for another 4 hours before you shampoo, you'll probably see more impact.  But that's true of any dye on anything from hair to clothing.  UV radiation from sunlight will also have an impact.  So pool water + UV light for 8 hours will have an even greater impact.  But even then, the effect is gradual.

Hope that helps.

**Q: if you leave it in longer will it work quicker or just get darker**
A: Both!  Basically leaving it in longer darkens the hair faster.  I use anywhere from 5-12 minutes depending how much color I want at any given application.  If you keep using it more often and leaving it in longer, it will get darker and darker.  Less often and less time will get you a "salt & pepper" look.

And no it doesn't "Fade".  It's basically a permanent dye that will be there until your hair grows out and you cut it.  The reason you need to keep applying is that your hair keeps growing and exposing new gray hair.

**Q: Is this a hair dye that you will have to use forever?**
A: Unless your body begins to change itself back to a younger version of you that no be longer has grey hair than the answer is, Yes or at least as long as you like not being grey
