Grey hair

[Panic Button]

In my late forties I am having the first few grey hairs on my temples.

Should I say silver, as it sounds more distinguished?

I have always prided myself on looking young, but his will blow a hole in that.

Should I try out that 'Just For Men' stuff that claims to hide it? Does it work, or does it make you look stupid?

NooooooooooooooooooPB, leave it as it is, if you dye it it will look stupid and us ladies like the distinguished look, you silver fox you!

Morning Panic , just look on it as a bonus of maturity.
I have some stray silver appearing here and there and my son says I am just getting my metalic silver upgrade. x
Morning warpig :-) xx

I'm 38 and have very dark brown hair and have some grey and trust me most women love it lol.

People still put me at 33 even with the grey ;-)

Grey hair looks good on blokes. Someone I work with has just coloured his hair to cover up grey and it looks hideous!x

you never know, it may grow back its original colour.

My dad has just turned 60 and his hair is black one week and greying another. I swear he doesnt use any colourants on it either.

hes strange is my dad :)

Yes Katie, there was a guy where I used to work who dyed his hair and everytime I saw him I just thought 'why'. It was so obvious and it didn't take years off him in any way, shape or form, to be honest it made him a figure of fun and ridicule (behind his back of course).

Morning Big mamma. x

LOL redcrx, does he happen to turn grey when you and 4get appear by any chance???

I cannot believe you came on here at 6.01 and posted :-) Maybe you need more sleep and you wont go grey lol. Dont try just for men there is nothing wrong with a silver fox. and redcrx I think its because he asks hairdresser to cut the grey out. :-)

[redcrx]

warpig, its usually 4get and the other sis that do it lol

4get, he cant be asking her to cut the grey out all the time can he or he'd be bald lol

[4getmenot]

nope just every month till it grows back

My hubbys family all go prem. grey and my 27 year old son has quite a few greys hairs already. My hubby used to say he was dark until he married me. He did use Just for Men - once -and it was the most prolonged embarrassment he ever suffered. (OK I confess to having a bit of fun at his expense too.) The change is no way subtle - dont do it!!!
For years he daily used a lotion similar to Grecian which kept some colour. It contained lead so I persuaded him to stop. I blame the lead intake for his current mental state actually!!.
Now 56 and happily resigned to being grey, he has had many compliments on what is actually a full head of short pure white hair.

Men dying their hair or sideburns is a big no, no, for me!

Even worse are men who dye their beards or moustaches! I think they look positively ridiculous - I mean just look at Tom Jones for starters! Good voice though!

I think Phillip Schofield, Paul O'Grady & Paul Newman have the right idea! Naturally grey, but still successful....

My dad is 72 and still has a head full of hair with no grey hairs, never had any grey. I hope I inherited his genes.

[Panic Button]

Thank you all.

George Clooney eh? I can't see what you girls see in him, but if I can be half as attractive as him then forget the little bottle.

Not so sure about Paul O'Grady though, although I think he's brilliant.

4get, I was on early while having a morning coffee, before work at 7. Unlike some people I can't do the net at work!

[smudge]

When I say Paul O'grady, I don't mean that I fancy him, I just think he's a thoroughly nice bloke - even though he bats for the other side.

You silver surfer you

[nuoyg]

I agree that grey hair looks good on blokes, I wouldn't worry. If you're in your late forties and only seeing the beginnings of grey hair, I'd say you're doing pretty darn well.

[Panic Button]

I like you lot. You make me feel a bit special.
