Grecian Formula Consumer Reviews

New Formula

By Brian from the UK, who has been using Grecian formula for 20 years:

The original formula was great, worked perfectly and you can tell from the length of time I used the product, I was very satisfied. The new formula is useless, it washes out when you wash your hair and leaves the result as grey as before use.

grecian no more

By John from Scotland, age 66, who has been using Grecian 2000 for two months:

i have been trying grecian 2000 for 2 months and it is really useless, my hair is still grey and shows no sign of changing in the near future, why does it not work? it used to years ago before they changed the formula, so it's grecian no more for me.....

Didn't work for me

By Scott from Long Island, age 25, who has been using Grecian formula for two months:

The box said that it would get rid of gray in a month. I used Grecian for 2 months and still had grays. Maybe it darkened a few hairs here and there, but the point is I still had grays when I wanted to get rid of them all. What is really ridiculous is that the directions tell you to try and not shampoo more than once a week. Who the hell only shampoos once a week?!! I'm trying Youthair now...hopefully that will be better.

Covering gray

By Jim from Gallipolis Ohio, age 69, who has been using Grecian formula 16 for approx two years:

About two years ago I got tired of using a messy woman's hair coloring product every two weeks. I asked a friend what he used to color his hair. He told me about Grecian formula 16. I followed the instructions (except for "not washing your hair for a week") I am very pleased with this product. My hair is the same color it was before I started graying. I use it every 2nd or 3rd day to maintain my color.

Grecian Formula Made My Hair Fall Out

By John from Massachusetts, age 54, who has been using Grecian formula for three weeks:

With Grecian Formula my grey did slowly turn to my natural hair color...but it also slowly made my hair fall out. By the third week of use, hair was falling out in globs on by comb. I've learned after the fact that the Formula uses a lead based chemical that is a poison and toxic if used too much. If you try Grecian, watch carefully for loss of hair. If it starts ...quit using right away!

Didn't work for me

By Bill Gloden, age 56, who has been using Grecian formula for two months:

I followed the directions carefully and used a whole bottle over a couple of months. Absolutely no change in color occurred (my hair was silver and still is). This was a very strange thing for me as the thought that it would not work never entered my mind because I had seen the commercials for many years. I even started out using a little less of the product the first few days because I was concerned that the change would be too noticeable too fast. I didn't need to worry about that after all.

It takes longer to work

By Robin, age 59, who has been using Grecian formula for seven years:

It has become increasingly more difficult to cover my grey hair with Grecian. Now I read that I am not the only consumer experiencing difficulties with this product. The bottle says it contains lead acetate but this stuff is much less efficient than it used to be. I thought that Grecian was becoming less effective on my hair due to the many years of its continued use or that my hair has grown too white to get covered but the reason might be the formula has changed. It is so weak that I am considering trying something else.

It doesn't work anymore

By John Townsend from Canada, age 55, who has been using Grecian formula for ten years:

I have used this product for years & have been quite satisfied with it.

Just recently however something has changed. The product simply doesn't work anymore.
