    Hi,
    I used to use L'Oreal excel 5, i found it gave a really natural look but the product has now been discontinued,
    any alternatives?

    Found greying hair hard to keep looking good, would have to get it cut every 2/3 weeks and couldnt grow it out much.

    How often would you have to keep applying that stuff?

    That's not bad, I thought it would be more often. I don't know of an alternative as I don't use anything yet, but at the rate my hair is changing I might need to in a year or so. Good luck finding an alternative.

    Thanks, the L'Oreal stuff was really good, shame it got discontinued, will be hard to find a decent alternative.

    Honestly, men who dye their hair always look dodgy, Berisconilike.

    This looks good, and says its an alternative to Excell 5 also.

    OP, a lot of women like the silver fox look. Are you sure you want to colour your hair? How old are you?

    I find that you can spot guys a mile off who dye their hair, and it just doesn't look right (to me anyway). I have the first signs of grey hair, and I couldn't give a fiddlers f*ck about it. I actually hope I start to go bald as well, as it'll save on having to think what type of bloody haircut to get every other month! :)

    Embrace the shades of grey. :)

    Look at Tom Jones. Looks WAY better since he just let it be naturally grey.

    Look at Marty Morrissey and the hair dyed off his head!! Dodge!!!
