              Grey Attack MAX is ideal for men who have their first or already slightly more gray hair and want a quick colour result. It is best suited for light brown to black hair as a natural hair color. WARNING: Can cause violet discolouration on white hair.

              Yes, Alpecin Grey Attack MAX is suitable for daily hair washing. It reliably removes sebum and dirt from the hair and scalp. No other shampoo needs to be used in addition to cleansing the hair. Important: Leave Grey Attack MAX on for 2-5 minutes – from application to rinsing.

              The result depends on the condition and the amount of grey hair. The colour effect develops gradually and can become visible after just 2 weeks of daily use. Important: Leave Grey Attack MAX on for 2-5 minutes – from application to rinsing. The intensity of the colour effect can be increased by the length of the exposure time.

              Mode of actionMode of action: 5,6-DHI + Alpecin Caffeine Complex

              A black structural model against a white background represents the active ingredient 5,6-DHI in Alpecin Repigmentation Shampoos.

              5,6-DHI repigments the hair

              5,6-Dihydroxyindole, or 5,6-DHI for short, is a preliminary stage of the natural hair pigment melanin. When applied, 5,6-DHI binds directly to the hair, penetrates the hair shaft, and forms colour molecule chains in the hair with oxygen. The hair becomes darker.

              Caffeine stimulates the hair roots

              Caffeine has been known for more than 20 years for its growth-stimulating effect on hair roots. It inhibits the breakdown of the intracellular messenger cAMP. As a result, more energy is available to the cells and cell growth is stimulated.

              Caffeine is therefore the most researched active ingredient of plant origin against hereditary hair loss.

              Complementary active ingredients

              Zinc and niacin promote energy metabolism and can improve nutrient supply to the hair roots.

              Gradually less grey - after 2 weeks*

              Comparison graphic: Grey Attack MAX at the top, Grey Attack PLUS at the bottom; arrows with strands of hair show a progressive darkening of grey hair from application 0 to 15.

              ApplicationApplication: Leave on for at least 2 minutes

              From application to rinsing: a longer exposure time enhances the colour effect!

              The number 1 symbolises that the shampoo should be used daily

              Use daily

              Use daily for the first few weeks until the desired colour result is achieved.

              The diagram shows that the colour intensity of Grey Attack shampoos can be controlled by the duration of the application time and the frequency of use

              Adjustable colour intensity

              The colour intensity can be controlled by the exposure time and frequency of application. A visible colour effect is possible after 5-15 applications.

              • Best suited for light brown to black hair.

                CAUTION: May cause purple discolouration on white hair.

              The active ingredient 5,6-DHI in Grey Attack MAX Shampoo can also darken light natural hair colours with a high pheomelanin content or completely white hair. However, the result may appear less natural.

              No. Grey Attack MAX Shampoo is not a classic colouring or hair tinting product and does not leave dark spots on the scalp or hands after shampooing.

              To avoid discolouration, it is important to rinse the shampoo thoroughly out of the hair. We recommend using dark towels and removing any shampoo residue from surfaces immediately.

              After completely drying the hair, no discoloration of clothing or headgear is to be expected - even if the hair gets wet again, e.g. when it rains or sweats.

              Alpecin Tuning Shampoo was developed to keep dark hair darker for longer and washes out again with a normal shampoo.

              The colour effect of Alpecin Grey Attack MAX Shampoo results in a permanent hair colour that grows out and is particularly suitable for men who want to gradually reduce the grey in their hair without looking dyed.

              Grey Attack MAX contains a higher concentration of active ingredients and results in a quicker darkening of grey hair compared to Grey Attack. Both shampoos contain the Alpecin Caffeine- Complex and counteract hereditary hair loss.

              The new version of Alpecin Grey Attack MAX is characterized by a higher concentration of active ingredients. As a result, a quicker visible result can be achieved.
