Eliminating the Greys

Unlike Fox and Scully, I have recently had no problem at all discovering the greys...in my hair! At the age of 38, I am being told by my Mom to colour it; and by my partner not to. In the interests of science and exploration however, I am willing to give it a shot.
I have acquired a box of RESTORIA EXPRESS for men from DisChem stores. Available in 4 varying shades from light brown to black, I opted for the dark brown colour. Advertised as a product that is easy to use, non-messy and would take only 5 minutes, I was interested to see how a complete novice at hair dyeing would fair. The product comes in 2 separate tubes which are combined on an applicator brush. This is then evenly applied to your hair and massaged in and then left for between 2 and 5 minutes.

The procedure went exactly as planned, there was no staining of my skin, no caustic fumes, no burning eyes and the product rinsed out easily not staining hands or towels.
And the result: excellent! All of the grey hair has been covered without eliminating natural highlights and leaving a natural colour very similar to my usual colour.
This product definitely took 10 years off my hair age!

Pilot

On the anniversary of the launch of one of our favourite and most influential series in television history, we launch our own investigations into the fringe fields of anti-aging and cosmetic medicine to uncover, document and explore techniques, procedures, devices and products in order to prove or debunk their claims. Our ultimate goal being to provide you, The Followers, with reliable and accessible information on the choices available to you to fight the future.

Bear with us for the first few days, while we settle into our new office, unpack our boxes, hang up our "Your Youth Is Out There" poster and pour through the pile of files to select our first assignment.


You will gradually learn more about us as we file new reports and you will learn more about our mysterious nemesis, The Smoking Woman.

Feel free to subscribe to our blog, add your thoughts, experiences and questions and we will do our best to uncover the mystery and the science behind the anti-aging and eternal beauty movements.
