            Mode of actionMode of action: The anti-grey active ingredient: 5,6-DHI

            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 (5,6‑DHI) is a precursor of melanin—the pigment that naturally colours hair. After application, 5,6‑DHI binds to the hair and diffuses into the shaft. As it oxidizes, it forms pigment‑like chains inside the fiber, leading to a gradual darkening of the hair.

            • IMPORTANT

              • Apply the product with the brush: colour pigments can also stain your hands, so skin contact should be avoided.
              • Clean bathroom surfaces immediately.
              • Rinse the product out thoroughly so that towels do not become discoloured.
              • Ideal for light brown to black hair.
              • ATTENTION: May cause violet discolouration on white hair.

            The easiest way is to apply the product in the bathroom, in front of a mirror, to the temples or beard:

            • Twist open the tube and distribute the product through the hair using the integrated brush applicator.
            • Leave it on for 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with shampoo.
            • Close the tube again after use and rinse the brush thoroughly with water.

            The application can be repeated daily or as needed. 

            A visible colour result is possible after as few as 3 applications. The colour effect builds gradually and can be controlled individually through application frequency and leave-on time.

            The product can be used daily or as needed. 

            Grey Attack Temples, Beard and Grey Patches is suitable for all hair colours, but works best on light brown to black hair. The hair gradually becomes darker, so the result looks particularly natural on darker base hair colours. 

            CAUTION: May cause violet discolouration on white hair. If unwanted discolouration occurs, discontinue use. 

            Grey Attack Temples, Beard and Grey Patches was developed for grey hair in the beard and at the temples and works best on hair that is at least 1 cm long. The product can also be effective on shorter hair.

            Please note that prolonged contact with the skin may cause discolouration. 

            The 5,6-DHI active-ingredient technology provides permanent repigmentation within the hair. The colour therefore cannot be washed out; it grows out with the hair.

            The effect remains unchanged during sports, sweating or swimming. 

            To avoid staining the sink, shower or towels, rinse the product off surfaces as quickly as possible and wash it thoroughly out of the hair after the leave-on time. Once the product has been rinsed out and the hair is completely dry, no discolouration is expected. 

            Yes. Use Grey Attack Temples, Beard and Grey Patches as a targeted add-on treatment on the temples or beard and wash the hair on your head as usual. Ideally, combine it with a

            Grey Attack Temples, Beard and Grey Patches is not a shampoo; its special formula has a higher pH value, allowing the colour to be absorbed optimally by the hair.

            This makes Grey Attack Temples, Beard and Grey Patches highly effective against grey hair - ideal for the temples and beard, where the hair is shorter. 

            Depending on the hair structure, beard hair and temple hair absorb the colour to different degrees. Finer hair can often absorb the colour pigments somewhat better and faster than thicker, bristly hair. Visibly less grey hair is possible after as few as 3 applications. 

            Yes. After rinsing and fully drying your beard or temples, you can use beard oil, wax or gel as usual.

            To the general FAQs

            The special formula has a higher pH value to help hair absorb the colour more efficiently. This boosts the repigmentation effect and reduces grey hair fast—especially in the beard and at the temples, where hair is shorter.

            Start with daily use until you reach your desired colour result. After that, you can reduce the frequency of application.

            The colour intensity can be controlled by the exposure time and frequency of application. A visible colour effect is possible after 3 applications.
