Is it reliable to sell online shampoos that claim to be able to go to "80-year-old white hair"?

The lawyer claimed that it was obviously false propaganda, and the Chinese Association for Science and Technology said do not listen to the specific medicine for white hair on the Internet.

  As people get older, many people will be troubled by gray hair. For the sake of beauty, they will try various methods to deal with gray hair.

  In addition to some people spending wrong money in beauty salons to "eliminate white hair", there are also "black hair artifacts" on the Internet platform that are also on sale.

Some businesses even put out slogans such as "Go for 80-year-old white hair, no need to dye hair, just a bottle of Polygonum multiflorum shampoo", "white turn black for three days, no recurrence", "national filing, healthy and effective" and other slogans.

  Merchants promote various effects of "removing gray hair"

  A reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily conducted a search using keywords such as "white hair" and "white hair turning black" and found that there are many related shampoo products on e-commerce platforms.

The price ranges from 30 yuan to 300 yuan, and the monthly sales volume reaches more than 9,000 orders.

From the promotional information, the discounts of many stores are also very strong, suitable for light gray-haired "effective outfits" buy 1 get 1 free, and "enhanced outfits" buy 1 send 3.

For serious gray hair, some businesses will even "buy 5 hairs and 12"...

  As for the effect, the slogans of each store are varied and the differences are obvious, such as "white turn black in three days without recurrence", "18 days farewell to white hair, naturally turn black", "complete blackening only takes 3 weeks", "28 days of radical cure, 60 days of no recurrence" "Refundable", "7 days turn black, turn black rate 99%", "100% white hair turns black"... Some merchants directly named the products as "white hair turning black artifact" and "white hair nemesis".

  However, a reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily found that the functions marked on the display pages of these "white to black" products are "gentle cleaning, plump and fluffy, anti-dandruff, split-end care, oil control, and burn-damage care".

  The reporter consulted 10 stores randomly. They all stated that they were selling white-to-black shampoos, suitable for any cause of gray hair, and the reasons for the inconsistent labeling of functions. Some merchants replied that “the label is wrong”. Some directly indicate that it can not only turn white to black, but also has an anti-dandruff effect.

  When it comes to the principle of action, the rhetoric of the business is basically the same, saying that the active ingredients in the shampoo can provide nourishment and conditioning to the hair follicles, deeply activate and repair damaged hair follicles, regenerate melanocytes, and grow black hair from the roots of the hair.

One of them even declared, “You only need one bottle to get 80-year-old white hair. It’s healthy and effective for the record.”

  However, regarding the saying that "80-year-old white hair can turn black" is contrary to common sense, some netizens directly stated in the "Ask everyone" column that it is impossible to turn black, "After two months, my hair is still white. , The merchant said that I did not follow the course of treatment" "The promised refund is still in arguing."

  Claims to have special effects but no relevant approvals
