White & grey hair

Wants the grey knocked back, not dyed

The problem

Grey shows up more the moment hair is styled, and dye is a heavy decision: chemistry on your scalp, a colour that sits there for a month, and a repeat every few weeks.

What works

The black products. They’re not a dye. They darken white hair by roughly 30–40%, depending on how white it is and how much of it there is, and the colour leaves on the first wash. Black exists in the gel, the premium wax, the gel wax and the cream gel.

What to avoid

Don’t expect full, even coverage. It’s not a dye and doesn’t pretend to be one. And don’t overload it: whatever doesn’t grip the strand ends up on your collar and your pillow.
