Mane’s Gray Reverse Bar focuses on the natural causes of gray hair and stops them in their tracks. Mane says they use a “science-backed formula that stimulates melanocytes, the cells which determine color vibrancy in follicles, to return individual hair strands to their original color.” We learned about Mane when we saw their limited-time Holiday Promo where you can get 1 FREE when you buy 2 bars. This is your opportunity to stock up on Gray Reverse Bar at the lowest prices. Since then, they’ve sold out of the Gray Reverse Bar every other week. The best part? It works on the head, beard, and even eyebrows. This is a must-buy!

As we said, there's a lot of science these days to help us understand why our hair grays. Some of that science works with the root and innermost part of the follicle, and some work with the outer layers of the follicle. Which is better?.. Well, when it comes to the Purple Rain Shampoo Bar, their theory is that purple can help balance the gray color for a more natural-looking color. While we saw some results, we weren't exactly blown away... especially when we noticed our brand-new white towels had a hint of purple on them.

Arencia was a solid bet seeing it looked a lot like Mane's Gray Reverse Bar. However, what we found is again, their science was different. They aimed to use coloring chemicals within the ingredients to help instantly change the color of your hair. Unfortunately, one wash and you're back to square one.

We wanted to try out Boomoon because a friend recommended it to us after visiting an herbal shop. The charcoal is beneficial to your hair and can help reset your natural processes for darker hair. While we did like the bar and did see results, the actual bar's consistency was a little weak and it ended up falling apart much too quickly for our liking.

A non-bar solution ReEn does it a little differently with a gradual effect treatment (also available in a shampoo) that can slowly change the color of your hair. We're skeptical. From the science we can find, this is basically a very gradual hair dye that may make your hair look darker but will fade as soon as you stop using it. A fine option, but certainly not the best.

While we believe we recommended some great shampoos to help you and all dads reverse gray hairs, we believe Mane’s Gray Reversing Bundleis the absolute best option. We wanted to talk further with our investigative reporter Mark Herring who helped create the rankings list and how he discovered the greatness that is Mane.

I'm not big on using a ton of products, just the basics like soap and toothpaste. Skincare wasn't really my thing until recently when my girlfriend convinced me to try moisturizer. I never felt the need for much else – my skin's been clear, no big issues.

But there's this one thing that's been bothering me for a while – my gray hair. It's a family thing, you know? Dad, brother, cousins – they all went gray early, so I figured it was my turn.

I had to find some hair growth products for a gig, but most didn't impress. Too chemical-heavy and not very effective. It was kind of a letdown.

Then, my buddy, the guy I trust with my life, surprised me. He'd dyed his hair, or so I thought. Turned out he was using Mane’s Gray Reverse Bar, an all-natural deal.

I was skeptical until he showed me a photo from a couple of months ago. Mind-blowing – his hair had darkened noticeably, even his natural brown hair popped more.

I wanted to borrow his bar, but he said, "Grow up and get your own!" Funny, right? Mane had this 50% OFF deal for the holidays, so I jumped on it and snagged two bars straight away.

I received the package two days later and used it as instructed. Wet the bar and rub the lather into your hair. Pretty simple. 

Of course, I looked into the mirror and expected immediate results, but with products like these, you have to use them every day for about three weeks before you notice anything. In the meantime, I wanted to know what made Mane’s Reverse Gray Bar do what it did.

It’s all about what CAUSES gray hair. Mane says there are two reasons,

1. Pigment cells in your hair called melanocytes decrease production with age, resulting in color leaving your hair

2. Stress releases the chemical norepinephrine into the follicle which rapidly kills melanocytes, ending pigment production

So Mane aims to protect the melanocytes to help stimulate pigment production. So even if you’re stressed, you’ll still be blessed with a good head of hair. And isn’t that in of itself a great relief?

Mane uses three special ingredients that help protect melanocytes and stimulate pigment production:

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

This is your all-around badass ingredient to help make your hair stronger and healthier with a mix of antioxidants and peptides. It also is the main force in protecting your melanocytes.

Bamboo Charcoal

Charcoal is amazing at pulling toxins and harmful free radicals from your hair, leaving only the healthiest follicle possible. 

Shea Butter

Extremely helpful in moisturizing and hydrating your hair for the healthiest possible look.

So, finally, after 4 weeks, I decided to check if I could see results… and wow! The areas of my hair that were previously gray became darker and even started to return to my original hair color! Even better,  my hair felt fuller and stronger than it had in years. I was simply amazed at how good it looked and felt.
