About the product

The easy way to tackle grey hair. Alpecin Grey Attack Caffeine & Colour Shampoo fits straight into your routine – no dye, no mess, no extra steps. Just use it like your normal shampoo. With daily use and a short 2–5 minute leave-in time, it gradually darkens grey hairs in as little as 2–4 weeks. At the same time, the caffeine complex helps strengthen hair at the roots.

Technology

The innovative repigmentation technology is based on a patent-pending active principle: The active ingredient 5,6-DHI accumulates in the hair during shampooing and reacts with the oxygen in the air to form the colour pigment. This causes the hair tone to gradually darken. The result is a permanent hair colour that grows out with the hair. In addition, the well-known caffeine complex supplies the hair roots with the energy it needs to look and feel stronger and thicker.

FAQs

When should I use Alpecin Grey Attack Shampoo?

Is Grey Attack Shampoo suitable for daily hair washing?

The colour pigments accumulate in the hair with each application and react with the oxygen in the air to to slowly darken. This creates a permanent colour effect that does not wash out but grows out with the hair. As the hair gradually darkens over a few weeks, the shampoo can be alternated with your normal Alpecin shampoo once the desired colour result has been achieved. To still provide the hair with the daily dose of caffeine for strength, it is a good idea to use our C1 shampoo and/or the caffeine liquid.

When can I expect visible colour results with Grey Attack and how long do I have to use it for?

How does the Tuning Shampoo differ from Grey Attack?

Alpecin Tuning Shampoo was developed to keep dark hair darker for longer. It is suitable for men who have discovered the first grey hairs and want to conceal them.
