What is Control GX Shampoo?

Control GX Shampoo by Just For Men claims to use breakthrough technology that can gradually reduce gray hair with each shampoo for subtle, natural looking results.

The manufacturer tells us that you'll use Control GX just like any other daily shampoo. After a few washes, you'll notice a subtle reduction in the number of gray hairs. From there, you have complete control over how gradually your gray disappears at the start by using every day, or every other day.

When you’ve achieved the look you want—often within two to four weeks—you’ll continue using Control GX three to four times per week for maintenance. Results can last up to eight weeks.

In addition to gradually reducing your gray, Control GX Shampoo also promises to gently and thoroughly clean and revitalize hair, while increasing volume for a thicker, fuller look.

Just For Men’s lineup has been a staple among hair and beard coloring products for decades, but does this necessarily mean that their Control GX Shampoo is worth the money? Even then, is it really “shampoo with a brain”?

Legit or Scam?  

This was a stand out comment for me from the article:
“most dyes that promise to gradually reduce gray hair use metallic salts, which:

“… react with the sulfur in the protein chains of the hair to create a natural looking color in the hair over a period of repeated exposure.””

Be wary of home color products that may contain metallic salts. Metallic salts fall under the category of progressive dyes, this means with every application the hair color is going to go darker and darker. Over time the hair is going to feel rough. Metallic salts are extremely reactive to other chemicals! If you try to use most hair color removers (because the hair is too dark now from the progressive darkening) major chemical reactions with the metallic salts are going to occur inside the hair shaft and that can result in horrible burning fumes or even smoking!

All I know as a Cosmetologist is that if you have used a product containing metallic salts, or even henna, there will be no way to predict the outcome, resulting color or condition of your hair if you ever decide to remove or color over your hair after using these products.

My best advice: 
If you want to blend away that grey, schedule an appointment with your hairstylist and let us take care of hair. Most of these services only take 10 to 15 minutes and can be done while you’re resting your head in the shampoo bowl.

Want to look 13% stronger?
Shave your head.    

At least that’s the finding from a new research project which suggests that men who take the preemptive step of shaving their head appear tougher and more powerful than others.

A shaved head indicates dominance, authority and… being in control.

Sounds like a fitting description of Hollywood’s leading action stars – Bruce Willis, Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel and Jason Statham.

Their shaved heads play a significant role in their tough-guy image.

Greek soldiers during the reign of Alexander the Great were ordered to shave their heads as a defensive measure – to stop enemies from grabbing their hair in hand-to-hand combat.

Since then – a shaved head has become a symbol of aggression and toughness.
It takes a man of confidence to display a shorn head.

According to the research explained below – guys with shaved heads are also seen as 13% stronger, taller and having greater leadership potential than guys with a full head or thinning hair.

The man bun trend may be over, but there’s a new style that’s quickly becoming the answer to all the chopped-off knots of years past: man bangs.

Anyone who’s had any incarnation of bangs knows that adding fringe to your haircut is the most high maintenance accessory you can add to your style. So, these male celebrity trailblazers deserve a round of applause for committing to routine bang trims—whether or not you’re an advocate of the trend.

The return of Justin Bieber’s side bangs and Jared Leto’s micro bangs are latest instances of celebrities embracing male fringe, but there’s a few other stars that have been rocking them in recent years.

Styling Options For Your Hair Type | Every Shine And Hold Option
by Antonio Centeno

I often wonder, what is the purpose of hair?  
Yes, apart from the evolutionary reasons…

What else does hair do outside of adding aesthetic value to a man’s appearance?
To complicate things – without any outside help – hair would suffer a limp and dreary existence.

That’s why a huge hair-care market exists, to spice things up by creating art through defined styles. But how are we expected to choose from the myriad options of hair styling products?

Pomades, waxes, gels, clays, fibers, creams…. it’s enough to make us want to adopt a monkish attitude and shave it all off.

To make it easier for you – I’m going to break down the ABC’s of hair products for you.

There are two common terms you need to understand about hair products.

• Any product labeled shine will reflect light and make your head look glossy. Anything labeled matte will make your hair absorb light and therefore – not shine.
• Pay attention to the holding power of the products because that’s the main distinction between hair products. They are categorized as low, medium, or maximum-hold.

Get ready to snip off your man bun and cease lining up your undercut. 2017 is upon us and that means new hairstyle trends!

Just like the trends in clothing changes, so does the trends in hairstyles. During the latest years most guys have been wearing slim fit shirts and skinny jeans accompanied by tight and sharp hairstyles.

With sharp hairstyles we’re of course referring to the undercut and other military inspired scrapes with very short hair on the sides. Besides that we also had the topknot and man bun for those with longer hair.
