How Does Grecian Formula Work?

Q: How does Grecian Formula work? A: Grecian works with the hair's natural chemistry to produce a similar-acting pigment where the melanin used to be. It combines with the hair's protein inside the hair to gradually "reverse" the graying process and bring back natural looking color.

How long does it take for Grecian Formula to work?

Best part of this product is that it takes about 45 seconds once a week to maintain the color and it is very easy to control the depth or darkness of the color by increasing/decreasing useage.

Does Grecian Formula still work?

CR confirmed that Grecian Formula containing lead acetate still remains on some store shelves and online, however, as does Youthair. We found Grecian Formula listing lead acetate as an ingredient for sale in a Walgreens and a Rite Aid in New York City, as well as online from Walmart and Amazon.
