Going Grey

My name is URL

I've had a few grey hairs since I was 18-19.. not really an issue. But for the last 3 or 4 months the rate at which they've been appearing has increased massively.

I don't know if I'm ready for a head that's mostly grey.. Should I dye it or let time take its course naturally?

Do women find greying hair attractive? I've been told in the past that it looks distinctive.. but having 6 ears looks distinctive too so I'm not sure if it's a positive thing

Dude, wait till you find your first grey pube.

It's better than going bald anyway. Nice 'n easy is your friend.

Did you not start a thread on this topic a few months ago or am i going mad?

Shave it all off, looks better particularly if you have the right skin complexion.

Can't it be both?

What's wrong with growing old? It's an inevitable part of life so there's not much point in fighting it. Anyway, grey hair makes you look distinguished.

Be thankful you are a guy. In the main you can wear your grey proudly. I no longer have any idea of my true hair colour as I've been dying it continually for at least the last four years.

And I'm not saying it's not acceptable for a female to show off her grey, it's just that I feel a whole lot better when mine is not on show.

Nowt wrong with grey hair on a man. Let it be, silver fox.

Agreed - as in, it would have less of an effect on the person's confidence etc (I'd imagine so anyway).

Disagreed. Men dying hair - don't do it, it can look well cheesy!

FreudianSlippers

I am a silver fox. I used to dye, but I said **** it and stopped. Oh well.

On the other hand though, women tend to dye their hair a lot more than men do anyway, whether they have greys or not.
I'd agree with you though - I've been getting greys since I was 17 and I'm constantly dying my hair... although I wore a silvery-grey bob wig over Halloween and it looked kinda cool. A wig like this: http://s5.thisnext.com/media/230x230/Short-Blonde-Bob-Wig_8DAAAEFD.jpg

Grey hair can look good on a man! If it makes you feel better bout yourself by colouring it though, go for it.
I'm getting a fair few strands myself, better do something bout it soon enough

Yeah, my beard is going quite grey. One of the reasons I stopped colouring my hair - nobody would believe that I had black hair still and a grey beard lol.

Just for Men beard dye was a step too far for me

Sometimes I think I've found a grey hair. But I'm pretty sure they are just a very light shade of blonde on second inspections.

That's lovely, now if grey hair looked that shiny and that tame, I'd be happy to go au naturale

I hate those fecking adverts especially the more ties one :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Grey/white hair can look good on middle-aged women. Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada looks great with it, in my opinion.

But only grey, not "salt and pepper" - or at least a solid chunk of grey, like Anne Bancroft (aka Mrs Robinson).

My skin is pale man.. real pale. And my head is not regularly shaped, so shaving it off isn't an option.. my hair that is, shaving of my head might be an option

Dudess

Oh Silvio, my fantasy. I'm far too old for him though... :pac:

Hate those fucking ads that imply the extremely unhappy man won't get a woman or a job or won't be happy til he dyes his "heinous" grey hair... :mad:

I've been contemplating it but i can't bring myself to buy it.

Man the fúck up and stop whining.

Either let it all go grey or shave it all off.

I like my grey hairs!
But I like my highlights more, because my natural colour is yuck, so they get hidden.

Bad luck

One of the many pros of having tanned skin, shaved head looks very good

Grey, bald... whatever. Shit happens.

As long as you're not ginger, you're OK.

No matter what you do with the greys, for the love of god do something about the ginger before it's too late and spreads! :pac:

The good thing about being a man, is that whilst growing old is compulsory, growing up isn't.

My hair is more grey than dark these days, but who cares, I am still convinced I am 18.

johnnyskeleton

Arguably it adds distinction etc. People with grey hair are treated with more respect etc, which is useful for business.

However, anyone with a young face and grey hair, or an old face and black/brown hair, does look somewhat out of place.

Funny, I find genuinely that when I wear my wig at work people are way more likely to pay attention to what I have to say.

I have the odd few grey strands. Been getting them since my teens. People love pointing them out to me for some reason. I don't mind grey hair on anyone, I think it can look appealling on some.

Ah to be fair it's not a doom and gloom thread...URL's just outed himself as a ginger pubed greying dude...things are looking up for him.

A man should never dye his hair- ever. Just accept it and get on with things. I have several grey hairs @ 33 but more noticeable are the ones in my beard.



Oh and for the record I also noticed a grey pube several months ago. I haven't looked since but I'm sure there must be more.

You'll have to do it at night time as everyone knows that gingers vapourise in sunlight.

Very simple. Dye your hair grey, then put on some spiffy threads, scrub up nicely and go out and see if you can pull. If you get attention from ladies then what's there to worry about? Mind you if you're a hideous looking munter then it doesn't matter if you've got a thick mop of dusky tresses, are as grey as dirty snow or as bald as an egg...you're fcuked.:pac:

I don't think he's ginger...he just shaves his head so tightly now he doesn't know what colour his hair is anymore..:pac:

I tend to agree, I shave my head a few times a week, I have a little baldy patch so I reckon embracing the baldness is the way to go, I prefer my head shaved so it's happy out. However even straight after shaving I have a shadow of hair there, would not be overly keen on having a shiny, baldy head. Dunno if it's grey now or not to be honest, have no intention of letting it grow to find out either, no grew bits in the tach though :pac:

Grey pubes? In a certain light my bollox looks like Charlton Heston!
