Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. Altris (melitane) is used for reversal of premature grey hair to black. You need to apply for at least 6 weeks continuously to get the effect. You can keep it for 1 hour per application. Don't allow it to come in contact with the skin as it can cause pigmentation of skin also.

This is not actually a hair XXXXXXX but reversal of process of grey hair by chemical melitane.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.

But I applied it for 45 mins & found that my hair had just turned pale green. Will 1 hour be sufficient or should i leave it for more time.
how many days will the colour last on my hair
And what do you mean reversal of gray hair?

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for your follow up query.

You need to apply regularly for 6 months to get complete black color for your hair. Reversal means changing of greying of hair permanently to black. This will work for premature greying of hair. But in case greying of hair due to old age this effect may not last longer. 1 hour is sufficient for 1 time application.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
