Just For Men, manufactured by Combe Inc., has launched the first-ever shampoo that gradually reduces gray hair — permanently. Control GX is a “technical breakthrough and category game-changer,” the company says. The shampoo will gradually restore pigment to gray hairs with each use. 

The team at Just For Men spent more than eight years researching and developing the unique formula for this “smart shampoo,” which resulted in two scientific patents.

How Does It Work — And Match Everyone’s Hair?

The shampoo mimics the universal pigment held within a strand of hair to create every person’s natural hair color. It works on every shade of hair color except red. 

The pigments are trapped inside layers of cleansing and conditioning molecules — released when the shampoo is massaged into the hair, which breaks apart the ‘sandwich’ structure and releases pigment into the hair.

It works best when used in place of regular shampoo for a couple of weeks, until there is a a noticable reduction in gray hair. Maintain the look by using it a couple of times each week, in rotation with normal shampoo.

Ralph Marburger of Combe’s Just For Men brand, comments, “Control GX is perfect for a guy who is looking for the easiest possible way to slowly reduce and even ultimately eliminate his gray. It easily fits into the routine of any guy who wouldn’t use a traditional hair color.”

Control GX is available nationwide, online and in-stores, as a shampoo and 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner. It retails for $7.99 to $9.99.
