Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 36 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers found the product ineffective, reporting no visible change or even increased greying despite prolonged use, often over several months. Reviewers frequently mentioned that the product did not work as advertised to conceal grey hair, leading to significant disappointment.

However, some customers also noted that the product could lead to undesirable hair color changes, such as blue, purple, or pink tinges, rather than achieving a natural look.

my success story for hair growth

hair growth is complicated, when i started with alpecin i thought it will be enough. but after 2 years, i have learnt that whilst alpecin can be useful for short term look and appearance of hair, it wont be enough to grow hair.

you need a multifaceted approach which must involve scalp massage daily for 20-30 minutes, and combo with Taoist soap or similar, to help keep scalp clean. an additional paraban free shampoo is also vital to support and eating collagen rich foods everyday like beef tendons and weird bits like that (veg sources are really not bio-available for this purpose).

so whilst i know this shampoo gets hate, just like many hair care products targeting hair growth, its not as simple. Took me 6 months doing the above, and improving my diet to eating more protein rich, and low carb, low fat, low sugar diet as much as possible to help control insulin fluctuations as this tightens the scalp and messes with hormones.

im not a doctor, but you should ask him to verify this obviously.

Anti grey attack Alpecin shampoo

Paid £14.99 for a bottle of Anti Grey Attack Alpecin Shampoo, been using it for weeks and it makes absolutely no difference at all. Save your money!

I had high hope for this product

I had high hope for this product, but as I found out after 6 weeks of using it. I hasn't made any difference to the colour of my hair and I read that many other reviews say the same. It's a SCAM and everyone should see it for what it is.
I don't know how these companies can make these sorts of claims and get away with ripping-off people.

Alpecin Grey Attack

I’m about to start my third bottle of Grey Attack, and honestly, I’m very disappointed. After using two full bottles, I’ve seen no real improvement — my hair looks just as grey as when I started. I’ve tried everything to make it work: leaving it on longer, shaking the bottle thoroughly, and applying it consistently, but nothing has made a difference. For the price and the promises made, I expected at least some visible change by now. Sadly, it feels like a waste of both time and money.

Doesnt really do much

Doesnt really do much, will give you a blue hue though. Yup blue grey hair. Its just weird. I've tried it for 3 weeks was very careful to leave it on 2 minutes rather than too long. Slight darkening at first but will only turn blue tinge in the end. Didn't want to dye my hair to much faff. Figured shampooing easy enough. Honestly bit expensive for a blue rinse.

Alpecin Grey Attack Not worth for money

“I’ve been using Alpecin Grey Attack shampoo for the past 2 months and honestly, I don’t see any real effect on my hair colour. The black tint from the shampoo sometimes drips and stains the bathroom sink, which looks messy and fades badly. It doesn’t give a natural colour at all and hasn’t worked as advertised. Quite disappointed and not worth the money.”

Waste of money

Waste of money, does not work and followed the instructions to the letter. Wish I had have put £18 on the lottery.

Useless product

Useless product.

Used every day ( and left in for 5 minutes before rinsing ) very little effect! Expensive and practically no difference
