    Discovered a few on my beard the other day... My advice would be to shave all over

    Go grey with dignity like I am.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 64 ✭✭Bluemoney


    ye i know but im only 21

    Embrace it, would you rather go grey or bald? I've found one or two grey hairs and I'll only be 23 next month.. Doesn't bother me in the slightest as long as my hairline stays put. Don't get just for men or anything.

    My nanny went white at 19, my dad went grey/white at 25, he just let it go that colour.

    The only thing you could do is shave it - to see how you look shaved, or dye it maybe? if it's that noticable? although in guys grey hair isnt that bad.

    If it upsets you, do something about it! If mine started to go grey I would definitely colour it or dye it. At least you have the option, because theres not a whole lot you can do if you go bald!

    Don't be bothered by it grey is not a big deal. Have a mate that had a lot of grey hair by 25 and he's happy enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,957 ✭✭✭trout


    I had some grey hairs ... now I'm bald.

    Ha!

    What if he's blond or ginger, what should he eat then?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,676 ✭✭✭✭smashey


    It isn't grey, it's silver. Accept it and be proud of it. :cool: You are dignified looking.

    NEVER NEVER dye it.

    Given the current climate, take the advice of Al Gore, go green?! :D

    if you r really unhappy about going grey/silver/dignified consider dying it. Lots of products and care out there that is subtle and effective. Just get someone in the know to do it for you first off.
    If your dark aveda do a black bla bla something conditioner thats pretty good!

    Dying hair and talk of it seems to fly in the face of the spirit of this forum imo.

    Agreed ... should I lock this thread ... or let the will of the people be known ? :cool:

    I'm in favour of full & frank discussions so that the will of the people may be known.

    Banned!

    OP Look at the name of this forum, look around at the threads, I suggest you cup yourself and make sure you still have your balls, if they have retracted permanently I suggest TLL that way
    > or Fashion and Appearance this way <

    hehe, I can imagine the greying of the original poster being an issue for him, and we should do the manly thing and get him hammered so as to come to terms with it, then let it happen.
    The suggestions of colouring hair á la wimmins, should be met with smiting!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 64 ✭✭Bluemoney


    Ye thanks- im swaying away from using dye now!!

    Surely both the water used, and the dye leached from the sage are chemicals?

    I started going grey in my early 20s, never bothered me a bit, its a sign of manhood, sophistication and style. anyone who thinks of using any form of dye, just for men etc is suffering from a severe lack of testosterone.
