Hello,

I think the best way to turned grey hair to its original color is to take He Shou Wu formula. I use it for mor than 3 months I see some of my grey hair reverse but it is a slow process. I stick to it. I hope half of my grey hair will turn to its original color after one year.


I've been on He shou wouh for 2+ years. No improvement with the gray but it helps against hair loss.

Hi Koala,

Earlier you asked if I had any luck in reversing my grey hair. BRM answered correctly......nil, zip, zero, nada, nothing!

Over the years I have tried He Shou Wu, copper supplementation, SODzyme, blackstrap molasses, topical copper solution, B Vitamins, zinc vitamins, special shampoos and conditioners, Re:Nu from Shiseido (expensive garbage). I've had two hair anlaysis tests done which didn't particularly prove anything. I've tried low dose growth hormone (with doctor supervision), DHEA, and melatonin.

None of it works!

There was one time a few years ago when I found a few hairs that were black at the base but grey at the tip. I think at the time I was taking SODzyme, blackstrap molasses and maybe using a topical copper solution. Anyhow, it was only ever a couple of hairs and nothing ever eventuated from it. I've tried all of those supplements independently again and have been unable to repeat any results. I tried SODzyme again about 6 months ago and I think it actually increased the number of grey hairs I have.

I have pretty much given up hope of reversing grey hair. It will be up to a company like Loreal to find the answer but I won't hold my breath waiting for it.



Good to hear from you, Aussie. So, what's up there in the sky?
I mean, with your hair of course. Do you let the grey take it all over or are you back to Just men?
I might try to use Claude Bell's pigmentation solution but I can't decide to take the plunge with these chemicals. And by the way, once you're in, you have to stay the course...

Found on the Web:

"I am trying a sage rinse for my gray hair. I've tried this for 2 weeks now and am starting to see my gray hair turn a beautiful brown shade. I boil 2 cups of water and add a 1/2 cup of sage, simmer for 30 minutes. Steep for a few hours, strain and rinse 15 times with the same rinse. I just love the way my gray is disappearing. Please google "sage hair coloring" and you'll see a few recipes for this rinse . . ."

I might try this myself to perk up my color. Sounds easier than the black walnut hulls.

Has anyone had success on their non grey hair darkening? Especially the lighter haired people might have noticed their blonde hair darkening even when the grey remains grey.

Soon, 'magic lotion' to restore greying hair's black sheen
Thaindian.com
At a recently held international conference in Cairns, Dr Bruno Bernard revealed he was working on a lotion that could brick back the natural colour to ...
 
Saw that intriguing message in my email box today, but when I tried to click on the link for the full story, I got a message warning the link might contain a virus. 
 
We all know about Bruno Bernard and his work at L'Oreal but I wonder if the story contained any kind of update on the L'Oreal research...probably not if the website was not safe.

Good old Dr Bernard from L'Oreal has a constantly changing timeline for his magical grey hair solution. They now say 5 years to market. Only problem is 7 years ago they said 3-5 years. And last year they said less than 2 years. And (not making this up) in another article earlier this year it said 10 years.

I would wager that in 5 years, they will say another 5-10 years. Long enough to keep the media interested in L'Oreal and L'Oreal's business.

"Gray-B-Gone / Experimental (Moderate) / 30 Minutes / We are not going to lie: Gray-B-Gone will not bring a head of gray hair back to color. This is an experimental dose for a reason: at 1.05hz the brain triggers the release of our growth hormones. In various labs, over extended use, binaural technicians have found that this forced release of growth hormone has brought intriguing reports of some gray hair returning to its original color, or the seemingly slowing of gray hair growth. This seems to happen when the user is subjected only to longer doses at the 1.05hz mark. Use at your own risk, we offer Gray-B-Gone as an Experimental dose."

also google "brain sync" , "holosync" for more information.

Hi all.

Another update... Still no change whatsoever using GHRP. I've even bumped it to 250 mg per day.

I will keep going....

Hmmm, I thought the evidence was starting to become pretty convincing on what causes graying. So, why do people still use he shu wu, molasses, or other junk? Are their any legitimate studies on hu shu wu? Regardless...I think I'm seeing some darkening using the following (for 6 months+):

Se-methyl-selonocysteine
R-lipoic acid
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine
Quercetin
Aged garlic extract (for S-methyl-L-cysteine)

The reason blackstrap molasses "may" work is because it contains depending on the brand a significant amount of the nutrients that form the building blocks of catalase such as copper, zinc, and manganese. At least that's one theory since so many people have claimed success with it.

Your regimen is interesting, how much of each are your taking? I've been looking into date extract as it's supposed to be one of the most potent forms of antioxidants known to nature. Combined with Glisodin it might be an effective treatment for the aging process as a whole.

Well, in that regard, people also claim drinking a bottle of hydrogen peroxide will cure cancer or illness is caused by negative energy or whatever quackery Oprah's latest guest is touting. It just frustrates me when Susanne Sommers' advice on medicine gets more attention than the advice of an expert in the field who's been studying it for 30+ years.

This is our health and lives we're discussing. That's why anecdotes don't count for crap. People are biased. Companies are selective. Show me one study on he shu wu or Fo Ti or whatever and it's effects on any biological system. Thier's a gold standard to proving cause/effect in medicine/science and that's a placebo controlled study/trial. (this rant was not directed at you DanRo)

Se-methyl-selonocysteine 200 mcg every other day +/-
R-lipoic acid 100-200 mg/day
N-Acetyl-L-cysteine 600-1200 mg/day
Quercetin 1 gram+/day
Aged garlic extract (for S-methyl-L-cysteine) 600-1200 mg/day

Quercetin does concern me a bit in that it supposedly down-regulates wnt signaling. Wnt signaling is very important in hair growth. It seems that more wnt=hair growth but increased graying and vice versa. But it has other beneficial properties so who knows.

Got a email from ext life science in June been meaning to post it.
Kurt – we are probably six months away from a large scale study which will be handled by an independent testing agency. We will publish the results when done.

Hi all; constant lurker here, never have posted.
I also emailed one of the heads of EXT a few times warranting no response. I often cruise the Catskl website as it seems most promising.

Vind, did you receive any further information on the parameters of the study? Would it be worth contacting him or should I sit back and....wait?

I have also e-mailed EXT Life Sciences, and I got some quick flippant response "Not at this time", which didn't completely answer my question in the first place.  After they were on that news report in Detroit, they've probably been bombarded with e-mails.  My guess is that the only chance of being included in their study is by finding out the name of the independent testing agency and got hooked up with them.  There's probably a small chance that EXT might mention them on their website prior to the study, and also a small chance that they might reply to an e-mail request for the name of the testing agency.
 
By the way, I want to give everyone an update on my experiment with Actistem.  I've been trying it on one particular patch of hair for just over five months now with no noticeable results.  Every once in a while I think there might be less gray, but I really think that is highly likely to be my hopeful imagination.

Same here, I tried Actistem for about three months and didn’t see much difference. But then all I’ve got is a small amount of grays, primarily on the goatee that can still be hidden if I let it grow out. Maybe it keeps it from getting worse, which at this point I’d be happy with. They’ve just come out with a stronger solution but I wouldn’t personally recommend it to anybody. They need to do significant testing first with large scale studies and with real before and after pictures.

I don't have that much gray either, so it's hard to say if something worked for me unless it has very significant results.  It surely didn't turn the patch of hair that I tested into a no-gray zone.  I'm sure if they come up with a product that is successful, we'll hear about it one way or the other.
