Dyeing / Colouring Gray Hair

Over the weekend, my wife noticed that parts of my chin-hairs (I have a moustache with a patch of chin-hair going as facial hair) are going white/gray. My head hair has a few gray/white hairs, and I've decided a long time ago that I'm not going to bother doing what my Dad does, which is dye his hair black every week. Not only could I not be bothered, and I'd rather not cough up the expense of purchasing Nice 'N Easy, not to mention that I don't really care if I start turning gray or white. My Dad does care and has a sparse head of artificially-coloured black hair that is combed over so badly that any amount of wind will likely blow his top off (literally).

I've never understood the whole thing behind trying to look younger. To me, it looks strange seeing a person who is clearly of older age have a full head of non-naturally coloured hair. Asians seem to be notorious for colouring their hair - I know it's probably not an Asian thing, but I've never understood the need to look younger by colouring hair, especially since Asians naturally look younger anyway. Doesn't a full head of gray or white hairs convey a mature, wise look?

Well, if you're just gonna let yourself go after you tie the knot, then the wedding is OFF!

i'd let myself go the second after i propose.

i've heard the saying that people try to present the best versions of themselves so they can land the best possible catch they can... and then they drag their partner down with them. i like the idea of this.

but then again some women have golden parachutes. gotta watch out for that.

The flecks in beard thing is sexy. ( That was a gut response. I personally don't absolutely love whiskers except to look at. Not so much fun to live with. )

Regarding the hair thing in general. I was having a chat with my dentist about a month or so ago. The topic of hair plugs came up somehow. This guy isn't bald as a badger but he's giving it a good go. He's got that real short number two on what's left look going ( I don't mind this look but I digress. I must be getting older myself.) Anyhow, I start mouthing off ( quite tricky with sterlised tools in your gob) about how I don't get guys who get combovers, wigs or plugs. I don't understand it at all. He stops me dead in my tracks and says " No. You wouldn't understand. This happened to me young. I did it all. Of course I don't worry about it now but my life is different." ( He's got a GP wife and a little sprout these days.) I was glad to be put in my place.

Anyway, you do what you wanna do with your mop.

A bad dye job is as hideous in some cases as not doing anything at all to maintain your hair appearance.
Hair coloring done tastefully, or grey, silver, or white hair can be beautiful if done correctly.
Please stay away from the Donald Trump 'deadcat on head" combover.
Oh, sure he can hook a South American Supermodel, but, as someone else said,,,he better be able to provide her with a Golden parachute. Otherwise,,better tend to your appearance.

I have grey hair, you can’t notice it, and those that get close enough will… I’m not concerned about it at all, I certainly can’t see myself enhancing my hair “colour” at all…

You mentioned your whiskers… I get a variety of colours, you notice them when I have my 5 o-clock shadow, you’ll find all kinds of different shades of brown (light to dark), and you’ll also notice several different shades of red hair and of course grey…

That's WOOOOOOOOOOOO Damn it!
