The highly concentrated ingredient 5,6-DHI reacts with oxygen and delivers maximum effectiveness when used correctly.ESzW

Mode of action

5,6-DHI + Alpecin Caffeine Complex

5,6-DHI repigments the hair

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

Additionally, caffeine stimulates the hair root

Caffeine has been known for over 20 years for its growth-stimulating effect on hair roots. It inhibits the breakdown of the intracellular messenger cAMP. This provides cells with more energy and stimulates cell growth.

Caffeine is thus the most researched plant-based active ingredient against hereditary hair loss.

Complementary Active Ingredients

Zinc and niacinamide promote energy metabolism and can help provide better nutrient supply to the hair roots.

Gradually less grey - after 2 weeks*

Best suited for light brown to black hair.

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

Apply daily

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

FAQ

Answers to your questions

When should I use Grey Attack MAX?

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.

Is the shampoo suitable for daily use?

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.

When can visible colour results be expected?

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.
