Grecian Formula Experiment: Background

I have gray hair. Not Anderson Cooper gray - more in line with Clooney's head, minus the beautiful mug and gaggle of fawning starlets. I'm definitely what you would consider "salt and pepper" although my temples are about two shades away from getting me mistaken for Paulie Walnuts on the Sopranos.

But that's all about to change thanks to the nice people at Combe International, makers of the wonderproduct Grecian Formula! According to the mountain of published research I was able to gleen from their site, GF can make me go from looking like an elderly insurance salesman to a sprite, young go-getter (button down shirt and club tie, not included). All I have to do is apply a bit of their "formula" to my dome each morning and in two weeks my hair should be as black as a grande Starbucks breakfast blend. This, my friends, is a promise too good to pass up.

Being a scientist, I wouldn't dare embark on an adventure of this magnitude without first making a commitment to full documentation. Therefore, I will be taking a battery of pictures of my head each day as I progress through the GF treatment and posting the results. And of course I will also be ranking my overall improvement in sex appeal.

Fourteen days from now we should have enough data to be able to prove or disprove the Grecian Formula hypothesis: "Restores lost color to gray hair, naturally."

At the same time, we will also be monitoring one other GF claim: "It looks so natural no one can tell you colored your hair, they'll just know you look great."

I can't wait.
