Dealing with greying hair
08-20-2012, 07:59 PM
I'm 27 and have a few sparse grey hairs, which can be noticeable with my dark hair. I have my hair cut once every two weeks like clockwork, with a 1 to a triple zero fade, so it's hardly an issue with as short as I keep it. Never had a chick point it out..
I'm mostly commenting to warn against hair dyes. I know some guys that do this and I think its incredibly noticeable and borderline embarrassing. Maybe they're just doing a poor job of it, but I can always tell when a dude throws some Just For Men on. Pause. Proceed with caution is all I'm saying.
I'm fine with going grey as long as I don't bald. I think that's much more difficult to overcome. If it ever starts to happen to me, I'm rockin' the Mr. Clean look.. horseshoe baldness is a death sentence, imo (limited offense intended to the guys with the horseshoe)

I am doing a Blackstrap Molasses Trial. I don't mean to hijack this thread, so feel free to post questions there.
I prefer a "natural" cure over these dyes. I can't vouch for anything just yet, but hoping for a breakthrough.

I started getting grey hair when I was 17. By the time I was 20 I think about 10% of my hair was grey, so I started to dye it. I'm in my mid 30s now and my hair is probably 80% grey.
I cut my hair short every 6-10 weeks and use "just for men" to dye it. it probably looks a bit off right after I cut it, but then the grey naturally grows in over time, making it look like I am going grey, not totally grey. when I tell girls that I dye my hair they all seem surprised. I'll probably stop dying it in a few years.

I am in my early 30s, and probably 20% of my hair is grey. Started getting grey hair in mid 20s. People notice it and mention it to me not as a compliment, because I have grey spots as opposed to even, salt and pepper kind of look.
I am considering using Just for Men to dye my hair. Another option is to keep getting very short and frequent haircuts so that the grey spots become less noticeable.

Btw, I use Just for Men beard and mustache dye. Even though it says it's not supposed to be used on your head, it works just fine and it's unmessy and uncomplicated. I have close cut hair, like Obama but am really starting to get that salt and pepper look in the temples. So I just put this on once a week, wash it off in the shower and I'm done. Only takes 5 minutes. One tube last me a couple months because I don't need to apply to my whole head, just the temples. That's my solution for now.

Brodiaga - give Just For Men Touch of Grey a go. It doesn't eliminate all the grey, it blends it with the dyed hairs somehow. The longer you leave it on the less grey will show, but it won't go the solid, fake-looking black or brown that gives you away. It's very easy to use, but maybe it fades a little faster than a solid-colour dye.
I don't dye my hair at the moment, and I'm about 80% grey, but I do dye my eyebrows - I find that makes a big difference - really makes the eyes more intense.
