What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Volume details conflict: the title and product highlight say 177 ml and 6oz, while product details state 170 Millilitres. Scent details are also inconsistent: the product details say Unscented, but the ingredient list includes Parfum, Limonene and Linalool. The listing says it is best for light brown to black hair despite also describing it for all shades. Check the bottle and selected listing details before buying. Follow the supplied leaflet, including its preliminary 48-hour allergy test instructions. The warning says not to use on anyone under 16, on eyelashes or eyebrows, or following a previous hair-colour reaction.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- People with light brown to black hair seeking gradual grey reduction through regular shampoo use.
- Buyers who are willing to follow a repeated-wash routine and then alternate with their usual shampoo.
Less suited to
- People with bleached or highlighted hair, which the listing excludes.
- Anyone under 16 or anyone advised by the product warning not to use hair colourants.

Aggregate ratings are mixed, with a majority in the top rating category but ratings also spanning the lower categories. This gives a limited overall satisfaction signal, not detail about how the shampoo performs or why people rated it as they did. Buyers should weigh that uncertainty against the gradual-use routine and the stated hair-colour restrictions.
