[internations]

I have a question that it adresses only to members over 40 years old:

I recently turned 43 years old, and obviously
a large majority of my hair is white/gray.

Gray/white hair makes me look older, and it is much harder
now to succesfully pick up 18 - 24 years old girls,
which is my main target.

I do not know what kind of solutions there are, what are all
these celebrities using for making their hair black, even
when they are over 50 years old? They just dye their hair or ?

What solutions have you found that work ?

Thanks

P.S. Example: Nicolas Cage with white hair, and Nicolas Cage with black hair.

First version obviously looks about 20 - 25 years older than the second version of him

Shave or dye.

The only other options that work is to take a good multi & huge doses of copper:

Good Multi:

Good Copper - careful - most producers use some toxic crap that is not absorbable:
http://www.swansonvitamins.com/swanson-p...g-300-tabs
http://www.swansonvitamins.com/swanson-u...mg-60-caps

It is not expensive - just take 1-10 daily (2mg each) depending on age and results you want to achieve. Also it interacts with magensium and zinc and you should take more of those minerals in addition to the multi. Man should take 50mg+ of magnesium anyway to retain virility.

Here an example of how hair can regrow with color with some added copper. The results will vary from person to person. It works even on people who are 60+, but the color does not return fully.


Anyway- try it out - it is safe when using good producers like Swanson, Now, Youngevity etc. Be careful about the other 98% of supplement producers.

And yes - 99% of male Hollywood actors above the age of 40 dye their hair. Some have been dying it since their 20s. They are just doing a better job than 99% of the poor population. You can even observe that some actors' hair has been going lighter with the years. The reason for this is that dark brown hair when dyed can look black or even blue later on. So they switched it to a lighter color in order to appear more natural.

And yes - white hair makes you look older - even George Clooney would look younger if he dyed his hair.

I have Player friends who even dye their beards - similar to young looking 50-year-olds like Keanu Reeves - imagine what he would look like with all grey hair:



The orthomolecular copper & multi supplement route is way less well known - or do you know that you can easily treat colds, sore throats up until pneumonia with high-dosage l-ascorbic acid? Well - it's known for 50+ years among orthomolecular doctors, but it's bad business if everyone knew.

It's simple. Dye your hair. But use the same high quality dies that women use which you can buy in the stores. Don't use the crap they sell to men. It's simple to do it yourself, especially if you have short hair. There is no reason to have a professional do it.

^^ most actors also wear hairpieces.

Don't bother dyeing your facial hair. It's too short, and grows out too quickly. Dye in a bathroom sink is a fucking mess to bother with. Especially when just want to cover a few gray streaks.

Search on amazon for "Roux Tween Time". After your shower and shave in the morning, lightly touch up over gray in your beard and sideburns. Takes under 20 seconds. Washes out your next hot shower, after which you'll have to reapply it.

You'll also notice some mustache waxes have coloring added to hide the gray. Particularly with the Clubman mustache waxes, the color will melt and be recast on any hot females you're sucking face with. The Roux Tween Time, if applied lightly, stays in place and doesn't smear onto other people. If you over-apply it though, you will be leaving a trail everywhere it touches until the excess has worn off.

I didn't really get a choice most of mine dissapeared and i'm also 43,try shaving it all off if you don't like it it will grow back and then you can dye it.

I'm a few months shy if 40 but have been dying hair since about 32 just using the standard just for men or whatever every 3 weeks or so.

Got bored of doing this a few years ago and switched to a 'gradual colourant' eg restoria or Grecian. The active ingredient is lead oxide and it basically leeches pigment from your coloured hair and gradually changed the grey to close to your colour.

It's fairly slow initially but the results are pretty good, you won't cover all the grey but it looks more natural and avoids the 'wearing a crash helmet' just dyed look.

Downsides- massaging lead I to your scalp daily....

I feel kind of lame about dying but at the end of the day you do what you have to do to stay I the game, I'll phase it out at some point where it obviously looks fake, for now I still look much younger so not having almost all grey hair is more 'congruent' for me!

[Beyond Borders]

I'm only 33 and have a decent amount of grey on the sides - started in my early 20s and now is pretty noticeable. About a month ago I started having them dye it at the barber shop where I get my cut. It's probably cheap dye because I'm in Southeast Asia and it's not a fancy salon, but it does the trick.

Anyhow, I like it, and my chick loves it. I still have a pretty young-looking face, and while I'm not hung up on the process of aging whatsoever, I don't mind making the most of my otherwise youthful looks while I'm still young enough to do so. I've gotten a great response from women and have had people tell me I looked younger before letting them in on the fact that I'd colored my hair.

Also, I was really iffy about growing my hair longer - not really because of the grey color itself but because the greys seem to grow twice as fast as the dark hairs, and it kind of looked like shit. Now that it's all a uniform color, I'm able to experiment with a longer cut, and that seems to be going over well too.

Don't obsess about losing your hair or looking older, but if you've still got a youthful look going, there's no reason not to make the most of it by managing minor details that are still within your control.

And to follow the poster above, I don't feel "lame" in any sense either for dying my hair. Why should I? Do you feel lame for shaving? For getting a haircut? For grooming your pubes or sporting a nice button-up shirt? I think measures like puresly cosmetic surgery are pretty bogus, but if something makes you look better and it isn't a big sacrifice or hassle to do it, there's no reason to be embarrassed about doing it. Maximize what you've got and make no excuses, I say.

Not to offend you, 192, but I personally think being insecure about dyeing his greys says a lot more about a guy's confidence than the act of dyeing does. Own your choice, Brother.

Ha. I'm not 40 but I started to lose hair and getting bald when I was about 19.

There is not a thing in the world that I could care less about.

2-3mm buzzcut for life and I like it.

[Beyond Borders]

^ Yep, if I was losing hair I would definitely rock the buzz cut. That's just common sense.

Balding is not really comparable to having a few greys though. Balding is something where you just look like more of a jack-ass when you try to fight the losing battle. So you shave the shit, get it over with, and own your look, albeit with your style possibilities considerably narrowed. Like with most things you can't really change (at least not easily or consistently), it's not worth losing sleep over or bitching about.

If you're going grey, on the other hand, a slightly longer visit when you go in for a haircut and you cut 10 years off your look and basically can do whatever you want with your hair, style-wise. It's too easy a solution to just brush aside and scoff at.

[speakeasy]

OP, have you ever considered embracing it? I've actually met women who love the "silver fox" look. Guys like Anderson Cooper on CNN or George Clooney.

I think as you get older, some subtle grey gives you a distinguished look as long as you know how to play it right. Bruce Springsteen for example:



No homo but dude looks great for 65. He's rocking some grey in the temples and it works great for him. I think it's when your hair is white all over that it's game over.

Edit --

Just curious, at 43 how difficult it is with your target market? I haven't crossed the 40 mark yet but it's on the horizon. I often wonder how this is going to change my life because I don't have much interest in moving to the Philippines or Thailand to get at younger women past 40.
