Grey Hairs Making You Blue ?
Discover what’s worth a try, brands to avoid, the dodgy products that don’t work and what actually mutes those pesky greys (naturally)
It seems big brands make big promises, but if you are looking for a seamless and authentic look, your options are limited.
Owen McAuley
If like me, the appearance of a few greys in the mirror can be quite stressful.
More and more, guys are searching for products to help them banish their greys and achieve a more youthful look.
But with so many products claiming to reverse grey hairs, it can be overwhelming to know which ones really work.
So where do you start?
Well I’ve done the hard part, so you don’t have to.
I tried out the most popular brands who make big promises but do any of them deliver ?
One certainly does….
I’m going to walk you through everything you need to know about the most popular brands.
You will learn:
As you are aware, going grey has a big impact on our self-esteem and appearance.
And as we age, it’s common to observe a subtle fading of our hair colour which ultimately leads to the dreaded greys appearing.
While going grey is a natural part of the ageing process,
It can leave you feeling like you’ve lost your mojo.
And a recent study reported 8 in 10 of us stating that going grey plays a huge role in negatively affecting their self-esteem.”
I know it certainly knocked my confidence.
And over 79% of us reporting greys in our 30’s which has been attributed to excessive stress.
When you’re constantly worried about your hair, it can distract and detract from your quality of life.
So, if like me, you aren’t ready to embrace the fade or the grey.
You need a plan.
And it’s safe to assume you want to get rid of the greys without calling any undue attention to the fact.
So, dyeing your hair is completely out of the question I’ll explain why soon.
I mean.
You don’t want to show up at work looking like a complete dick with dyed hair, do you?
It really is that obvious which is why the majority of guys feel they have no other option than accepting their silver strands.
But as you’ll find out soon, it doesn’t have to be that way.
There is a breakthrough solution that will mute your pesky greys and restore your hair to its original deep tones.
Why guys can't dye their hair.
This leaf will help me explain better why we can’t dye our hair.
You see,
A leaf has 100’s of natural tones that make up its colour.
Now if we imagine the leafs veins were grey hairs.
And if we picked a colour from the leaf and dyed it.
It would create a single block of colour – like the leaf on the right.
Yes, the greys are gone.
But so have the hundreds of natural tones that make up the colour of the leaf.
It now looks artificial, doesn’t it?
That’s what dyed hair looks like on guys – artificial and fake.
The absence of natural variations in colour draws attention to the fact that the hair has been artificially altered.
It creates a uniform block of colour which is perfect for the ladies but looks silly on us guys.
But big brands are trying hard to convince us guys that hair dyes create a natural look when we all know it looks silly.
Even our favourite movie stars can’t carry it off

#1
REVIVE
Great Grey Coverage & natural Results
9.3/ 10
They say:
“Comb away the greys with our latest generation pigments while maintaining a 100% natural look”
I say:
“What I like about Revive is that it works instantly, you don’t have to wait months, however unlike a dye it creates a 100% natural look.
The grey coverage is not as good as a dye but that is the trade off for looking natural.
PROS
- 100% Natural Results
- Easy To Use
- Great Grey Coverage
Cons
- Need To Comb In Weekly
#2
ALPECIN
Not Very Effective But At Least It's Not A Dye
7.2/ 10
They say:
Gradually darker and stronger hair.
I say :
I didn’t find it that effective over 3 months and going by their reviews I wasn’t the only one.
At least it’s not a dye, better than the soap bars, sprays and vitamins – it’s just not that effective and leaves hair very greasy.
Some have said over time they have seen positive results so worth a try.
PROS
- It's Not A Dye
Cons
- Not Very Effective
- Bad Chemical Odour
- Needs Daily Application
#3
SIMPLER HAIR
Easy To Use Dye
7/ 10
They say:
“The easiest way to eliminate grey while maintaining a natural look”
I say:
“They’re right, it is the easiest way to eliminate grey but it’s a permanent dye.
I’m not up for this artificial look, I can’t imagine why any discerning guy would tolerate it, I was relieved when the dye finally faded after 8 weeks, as was my girlfriend.
PROS
- Easy To Use
- 100% Grey Coverage
Cons
- Fake Dyed Look
- Stained Skin
- Harsh Chemicals
#4
TRUESONS
Easy Application Foam Dye
6.8/ 10
They say:
Natural looking hair in 15-20 minutes.
I say :
The foam is novel and perhaps one of the easier products to use however it is another permanent dye which will change the colour of every hair resulting in that horrible “dyed” look most guys try to avoid.
PROS
- Easy To Use
- 100% Grey Coverage
Cons
- Fake Dyed Look
- Needs Gloves To Apply
- Chemical Smell
#5
JUST FOR MEN
The Original Mens Hair Dye
6/ 10
They say:
Just For Men has made its name in the hair dye for men market not only for its results but also for its ease of use.
I say:
Easy to use yes but again it is another permanent dye, just look at the photo from their website, fake, stained hairline.
They also recommend gloves which I’ve learnt is another dye giveaway.
And don’t be fooled by their touch-up brush it’s also a dye.
PROS
- Easy To Use
- 100% Grey Coverage
- Cheap
Cons
- Fake Dyed Look
- Stained Skin
- Harsh Chemicals
#6
COLORSMITH
Disapointing
5.9/ 10
They say:
Colorsmith customises your chosen colour to best cover any greys in your natural tones.
I say:
I like this idea of personal custom hair colour, but alas it’s a con.
I took their online quiz and no way could they determine my hair colour.
It’s just a marketing gimmick, 
the only personalisation the product offers is they print your name on the bottle, how cute. It is just another dye.
PROS
- Easy to use
- 100% Grey Coverage
Cons
- Fake Dyed Look
- Stained Skin
- Harsh Chemicals
#7
MANE
Complete Scam
0/ 10
They say:
Restore your deep, vibrant hair colour and shine with the power of Mane’s Grey Reverse Conditioner Bar.
I say :
This is a bar of soap
And while looks can be deceiving in this case, it’s just a bar of soap
After 2 minutes of research, I found it on Alibaba for .40 cents a bar, about 30p , it’s the exact same soap bar and it does absolutely nothing.
And guess what, I saw nothing in the mirror after 3 months other than the fool who had parted with £80 for a bar of bloody soap!
PROS
- There Are None
Cons
- Yes It Is A Complete Con
- Don't Waste Your Money
#8
HEYHAIR
Complete Scam
0/ 10
They say:
A clinically effective 2-tiered approach to treating your grey or white hair. Our Advanced Anti-Grey Hair Treatment Kit features Grey Escape.
I say :
I have to say it sounded very compelling and I was excited about trying this one out, but before I started I wanted to fact-check some of their claims and ingredients like Darkenyl, and after a few google searches alas the B.S was uncovered….
Firstly, Is it a dye? No – but what is it ?
Honestly, it’s rubbish, another con.
PROS
- There Are None
Cons
- Yes It Is A Comlete Con
- Don't Waste Your Money
And The Solution
Just Comb Away The Greys..
Frustrated with the current anti-grey products I set out to find a solution.
This decision led to a discovery way bigger than I ever imagined, a breakthrough not just for me but 1000’s of other guys.
I thought the best way to find a solution is to reverse-engineer the problem,
And to do so, I partnered with the best cosmetic scientist in Milan and a team at Oxford
Since it appeared the fading of hair which led to grey hair is a result of the loss of pigment,
We focused on this element and how to replicate the pigment and add it back to your hair, to re-pigment so to speak.
We tested every pigment on the planet and a few off it.
After a year of trying hundreds of different pigments, we eventually formulated the Gen X® pigments that power the Regener8® serum.
The great thing about Regener8® is that it’s not a permanent, all-over hair colour.
Regener8® is formulated with the latest generation pigments and natural botanicals that are both effective at muting your greys and restoring your deep, vibrant hair colour.
Unlike a dye that changes every hair colour, the Regener8® serum works with the existing hair , enhancing its colour rather than changing it entirely, ensuring an authentic look.
Will Revive Completely Get Rid Of My Greys? .............NO
Only dyes will create 100% coverage and get rid of greys completely, but remember, we are trying to avoid that fake dyed look.
Revive will mute your greys and enrich your hair colour allowing for a more seamless and authentic result that blends harmoniously with your overall appearance.
Seeing Is Believing..... Get Your Free Sample Pack
g
If like me,
You have probably tried many products in an attempt to get rid of your pesky greys.
Only to find out these big brands failed to mute our greys naturally or make any difference at all.
So before asking you commit to anything, my dad team and I decided it was only fair to allow you to try out the Revive system first with a free sample pack.
After all, seeing is believing!
But when we first launched we were surprised that 200+ customers from all over the UK and Ireland would scoop up hundreds of sample packs so quickly.
Because of this constantly increasing demand we recommend getting your sample pack ASAP.
We would love to make it completely free but as as a start-up, we can’t afford to give away products, bottle and pay for packaging and postage as it can be quite expensive.
So we will cover the £21.00 cost for the product and bottles and you pay the £9.00 post and packing.
I think that is fair.
The sample pack consists of:
THIS IS WHAT YOUR GETTING
We are spending money on all sorts of products to enhance our appearance.
But I can assure you, nothing will have such a positive an impact on your appearance than the Regener8® serum.
It’s a clinically effective serum for helping to mute premature greys and restore your deep, vibrant hair colour and shine.
What separates our anti-grey serum from other products on the market is the two patented ingredients in our Regener8® formulae that result in a 100% natural finish.
There is no need to go another day with your greys making you look older.
They will only get worse…….
So, for only £9.00 Post & Package, you can try out the full REVIVE system.
Clients report looking better than they have in years as a result of revitalising their dull faded hair and muting those pesky greys.
Order your sample today and don’t worry about picking the “right “shade,
We made it easy for you.
When you order for example a DARK BROWN sample, we will also include a BROWN sample, if you order BROWN, we’ll send you a LIGHT BROWN too!
So you will have 2 shades to try out.
And remember, this is a varnish, so unlike. a dye it won’t change every hair colour so you can’t go far wrong.
Revive Is In Demand, It Sold Out 4 Times In A Row
Now,
We’ve sold 100’s of samples – that doesn’t surprise me.
What did surprise me was that nearly everyone who bought a sample came back to buy a full bottle.
We didn’t expect that,
It kinda caught us out.
We expected for every 10 samples that 2-3 customers would come back and buy a full bottle,
That’s what we were told from the e-com experts…………..
Expect a 20 – 30 % conversion from sample to full customers.
But instead, 9 out of 10 have come back to buy, 93%
So, while we have 1000’s of sample bottles we initially only had 100’s of full bottles with more on the way.
If you revisit the site to buy a full bottle and we are currently sold out you will see a form.
Please submit the simple form with the colour you want, your name and number.
To make sure you don’t miss out we will put your order aside and WhatsApp you the buy link.
This will save you from having to recheck the site which I know can be frustrating.

FAQ
Ask Us
Anything
How long does it last ?
Think of applying Revive as no different from washing your hair or putting in conditioner or applying styling crème,
I wash my hair once a week so that is how often I use Regener8.
Think of it this way,
You’re just adding a step to your routine, so instead of:
WASH – CONDITION and STYLE
now it’s
WASH–REVIVE and STYLE
So comb in Regener8 after every wash.
Will it stain my skin ?
No not at all, in fact you will probably end up with some of the serum on your skin as you comb it through your hair and it washed off easily without staining your skin.
Only a dye will stain your skin, dyes are typically over 90% chemical where as our Regener8 serum is 96% natural.
Do I need gloves ?
Similar to the last question, it doesn’t stain, and you don’t need gloves, it’s a very natural product.
Only a dye will stain your skin, dyes are typically over 90% chemical, our Regener8 serum is 96% natural.
What if I feel my hair is too dark after applying regener8?
Just wash your hair and it will remove the majority of the pigment.
When you get the sample pack one of the shades will be ideal, so if the other is too dark just shampoo the hair and try the lighter sample
How long does it take to apply ?
I’ve timed how long it takes to apply the Revive system and it’s only a few minutes.
If you consider you’re just combing it into your hair and leaving it for 10 minutes, but I don’t clock watch, I have a shave and brush my teeth, so the extra time taken is only a couple of minutes.
I don’t know my exact colour .
Pick the colour you think is closest– so for example – If you choose DARK BROWN, we will also include a BROWN, so you have both shades to try out.
If need be, we can send out another sample until you are happy.
Do I have to use the HYDR8 and ILLUMINT8 serum ?
No, I have included them in the sample pack for a simple reason.
Everyone’s hair has a different porosity, and this dictates how long the serum lasts.
Hydr8 hydrates your hair and helps lock in the serum.
The Illumin8 finishing serum is a great product and you’ll love the results.
It gives you hair structure and a fantastic finish without being greasy like most hair products.
Just try them out and see, I promise you’ll love them all.
How long will a bottle of REGENER8 last?
Well, my hair is medium length, and I would use 2-3 bottles a year,
And remember I wash my hair once a week
So, if my hair was shorter then 1-2 bottles
If short but washed twice a week, then probably 2-3 bottle.
I only wash my hair once a week because when I was younger, I was a heavy smoker, and I washed my hair every day to try and get rid of the smell of smoke, gf wasn’t a big fan of it.
Ultimately, I ruined the condition of my hair and it was my hairdresser who recommended washing it once a week.
My hair has never been as healthy since.
A bottle of HYDR8 should last a year, and the Illuminat8 is the same.
Does It work on beards ?
No point I don’t think, If you wash every day it will wash out , try and see but I don’t think its something you want to be doing every day.
Guys of all different ages and ethnicities are reporting amazing results.

I recently purchased and tried out the Regener8 serum and I have to say, I’m really impressed with this product. As a man who has been dealing with grey hair for years, I’ve tried various products to help keep my hair looking great, but none of them have been as effective as this one at muting my greys and revitalising my faded hair colour.
The result is very natural looking which is of upmost importance to me.

Fantastic product
verified buyer
This is such a fantastic product! I’m a guy who has been going grey since my early thirties.
Now while many people have said in the past that my grey hair looks “distinctive” or gives me an air of “maturity” I was always self-conscious about it.
Fast forward to me being 43 and it just makes me look old. Since using this revive I can’t tell you how many more compliments I get about my hair and appearance. I look ten years younger! Give their sample pack a try you won’t regret the results!

took years off me
verified buyer
I was quite surprised at how well this works. The colour is so natural, and my greys are definitely less noticeable.
It doesn’t seem to do much on hair that has been shaven to grade 4 or below.
Overall, it generally still provides a good natural cover for grey hair.
It’s the best I’ve used.

This is the best thing I’ve tried to get rid of my greys.
As someone who started seeing grey strands in my 30’s I dyed my hair with everything from my girlfriend’s spare hair dye through to Just For Men’s range but the issue is that they never really looked natural.
I tried this product, and I am so happy with the results, my greys are muted and more importantly, it looks 10% authentic, something the dyes never achieved.
