Greying hair - anyone dyed it?

bainbridge · 9 Aug 2011 at 10:18

Had a few odd grey hairs since my early 20s but the main mop was predominantly black. Now approaching 35 & its no longer the odd grey hair, I'm greying on the sides but thankfully still have a nice mop.

So I've found myself loitering by the Just for Men in the supermarket but haven't taken the plunge, it seems like a big step. Many people say my hair suits me (unsure whether this is a compliment or not!) & not to bother, other people say I should dye it as it will give me a whole new look.

Having a grade 1 on back & sides & a short scissor cut on top makes the grey barely noticable, this is the style I've had for the past couple of years, but I wouldn't mind growing it a bit while I still have some

I'd be very interested to hear about other peoples experiences around going grey, dying their hair & how they got on.

Just go grey man, it's better than being bald ! !

I've been going grey since I was 19. Ladies actually like it

.

Regarding just for men though, apparently Figo uses it so you'll be in good company.

I have been going grey since i was 17...its hereditary.

I shave it off, and would shave it off whether going grey or not.

Dont dye it, dying is for gayers and people who are vainer than supermodels....just shave it off.

Please don't dye it, have some pride man.

Always makes me wonder how there's a market for men's hair dye. Can't think for a moment why any bloke would dye their hair?

I'm 32, almost 33 and my hair is still a very dark brown. What's the usual going age when hair starts greying? Does it depend on when it happened to my dad (genetic)?

platypus · 9 Aug 2011 at 11:02

Of course its genetic.

A little greying is alright... I wouldn't fancy a Phillip Schofield though.

Just leave it be man!

I'm grey, bald, and ugly. I went for the hat trick

He's asking if it's genetic to the extent that he's likely to go grey around the time his father did.

Be a man.

I have a streak of grey which I feel makes me look distinguished. I will never dye my hair, that's reserved for the ladies.

CircleFaust · 9 Aug 2011 at 11:29

leave it be, you'll get used to it

i started to go bald after leaving high school. i've been shaving it to the bone now for years, doesn't bother me. i never wear caps or anything to cover it up like others i know. the fact you've still got hair you should be happy lol although bald is great too, i never worry about what my hair is doing, no barber or shampoo monies

the only thing i have been doing is plucking the odd long freaky eyebrow hair out. anyone else get these?

The grey adds character apparently. Women don't mind it either so whats the point? Just leave it.
