    I have grey hair,actually grey hairs!At twenty years of age,grey hairs! Now obviously i'm not very happy about this,so imagine my horror when I opened my style magazine recently to discover that young people are apparently dyeing their hair grey in the name of fashion.
    Can't find the original article but heres a link with some images.

    I'm a hairdresser! I have no problem with grey hair but honestly don't be colouring peoples hair grey either!

    Personally - i spend a lot of money to cover up my grey hairs so Im not going to be following this trend.

    To my shock i found a grey eybrow hair the other day - I'm only 26.

    Women are allowed cover their grey hair, I think its just wrong for men to do the same :)

    Meh. I don't like it. If your going to do that drastic a dye job. There are myriad of more fun colours you could chose.
    Fire enigne red would be my first choice.

    I wouldn't do it.

    Given time, I hope that my hair does turn that fantastic silvery gray, and that I become a sassy older mature woman with a fantastic silvery mane.

    But until then, no.

    Yeah, +1. If I'm going to make a statement with my hair then I wouldn't choose a blue rinse to do it with. I'm getting worried at the amount of grey hair popping up, I used see the odd straggler but now it's definitely noticeable if I don't keep up with my roots. I naturally have really dark hair so it's not like they have anywhere to hide! :rolleyes: :o

    That is because it makes you look debonair, and you like that kinda thing Mr Saville row.

    I think it depends on the colour of your hair & how obvious the grey is. My hair is blonde, lots of different shades in it, I don't think I'd actually notice greys. I knew a girl in college with dark dark hair & she had very obvious greys from about 20 - you really notice these things sitting behind someone in a lecture theatre. She died her hair regularly to cover it, I think if I had something obvious like that I'd do the same

    Depends on a man or a woman, wouldn't let my locks go grey for love or money.....

    Gettin' the odd white (moreso than grey) since I was 17 - meh, that's what hair dye is for. I love getting my hair coloured so much that I'd be doing so anyway, whites or no whites. Better to have to get it dyed than have to get a wig. :pac:

    Found the first grey hairs at 23 - the day I passed my driving test ( I wonder if they're related?) it doesn't really bother me

    but some of us have been there, done that already!

    i've contemplated dying my hair grey before, but never got round to it before shaving my head. decided after that that im not dying my hair again for a loooong while. quite enjoying the natural look after all these years :)
