    I'm 20, this shouldn't be happening.

    do i sit tight and hope i get another few years out of it, or do something about it now before people notice?

    I've been going grey for years. Apart from not actually minding going grey, I found it hassle to dye hair etc. all the time. You leave it go once and everyone knows. Unless you're particularly vain, I'd do it gracefully.

    You can try and hold back the tide of age - or you can just let it flow.
    Sooner or later your going to have to accept the full truth.

    ...Now do you want to accept it slowly or just one day give up dying your hair and accept it in one big shock? :D

    I went grey a long time ago. Se la vie...

    As long as your not ridiculously camp most people don't care nowadays.

    Some people are actually better with a bit of grey don't forget.
    The wimms sometimes like a bit of maturity in their men and a bit of grey helps to establish that!
    (You could still be like a 16 year old inside but hell... let them find that out in the bed!)

    You need botox, hair implants, hair colouring, a nose job and and some plastic surgery or you'll like you are 22 by the time you're 21. Don't come crying to AH when you realise this, next year.

    I'm going ginger instead of grey. Kill me now.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Its AH so it has to be said!

    I'm willingly to go grey with grace, with mary, with ann... whoever!

    (I'll get me coat - me grey one) :pac:

    i found my first grey hair at 18.

    i'm 34 now and it's still only a bit of grey here and there, mostly still light brown.

    even if it was totally grey now i'd just leave it as it is, it's natural and i don't imagine anyone would think any differently if i had grey hair so why bother?

    I think grey hair is nice on a guy..

    :)







    but I'm an aul'wan, what would I know anyway! :D

    Could be worse, could be going bald.

    Seen my first gray in my mid 20's. Early 30's now, still not that many, just some around the sides.

    Like Biggins says and Fox confirmed, some of the ladies do like them, that will do for me.

    :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    Noticed some grey hairs and was worried about going grey for a while.
    Then I realised the possibility of going bald, I worry about that instead.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Nothing wrong with A few grey hairs and if dying your hair red is good for the young wans then if the caps fits , it's ok to go brown'ish for the oldies :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,903 ✭✭✭Napper Hawkins


    Muppets crying about going grey, try going bald in your twenties if you want to know what unfair really feels like.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Oh_Noes


    Ah come on, it's all just another part of growing up.

    Nothing wrong with going bald either.

    Just be thankful you're not ginger.
