    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.

    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.

    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.

    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:

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

    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:

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

    Your pic in the KNY thread really didn't look like you had dyed hair. You should give URL some tips.

    Started going silver in my early 20s and have been nearly all silver since my early 30s. Wouldn't mind having my black hair back if I'm totally honest but it hasn't ever really turned women off and dying your hair after a certain age (say mid 30s) is kinda vain imo. Plus you're only putting off the inevitable time where you'll suddenly change hair colour if you stop dyeing it.

    Ah, I'm getting the ol' grey streaks in my hair and since it's longish enough they're so noticeable people love to tell me: "Jesus, you're going awful grey!!"................Jeez, thanks.

    If it comes out decent enough I won't mind as I'd feel a bit naff dying my hair, like those cheesy alpha-male guys off the Just For Men ads. I've got pitch black hair so I don't want to lose it too quickly either, retain my youth :P

    I've noticed a few silver strands in the past year, I'm only 23 :( But if my hair goes a nice silver I'll keep it that way, I think it can look distinguished. Only after I hit 40/50, mind you.....don't want to be a silver-haired 30 year old.
