My Gma (and my father and me) greyed very early in life so at this point she is nearly completely white headed. This dark green shampoo is tinting her hair green. Everyone is telling her her hair is green she is refusing to acknowledge the green hair b/c she would have to throw out the $1 bottle of shampoo .......... it takes her nearly a year to use the bottle only after she had used the last drop did she finally admit ............. "it may have had green highlights"!!!!
