Also also,
This was the work in progress from the original grey-to-blue transformation:
Hat tip to Rawtenstall's finest.
58 years old here - over the last 15 years or so, I have gone from dark brown to almost entirely grey/white. I'd never colour it as it isn't who I am. As said above – embrace it.

That would disappoint me massively.
I mean imagine finding out your wife....
...had pubic hair
I have no issues with dental floss. Rather the notion that public rabbits would be a 'discovery' raises questions.
I've been tempted myself. Spoke to my hairdresser and she said words to the effect of. If you want to change the colour of your hair, why not? No one bats an eyelid when Women do either to avoid grey or just because they want another colour, but if you think you can convince anyone that you're naturally grey-free with a bit of just-for-men or the like, think on. Very, very few people have a consistent colour through their hair, that's why men's hair dyes always look terrible.
If you want convincing hair, you'll need to go to a salon, it'll be quiet expensive and you'll need to redo it / top it up fairly often.
If you just want to feel a bit more attractive for your own self-esteem or whatever, then changing your hairstyle might be a better option. A crew cut (not a quick home cut with clippers, a decent one) if you've been blessed with a good hairline is a good option, or go longer and use 'product' to change the sheen / texture etc. Women tend to be far more emotionally mature when it comes to these sorts of things and will tend to work with with they've got, instead of trying to pretend they're something else. I guess the lip filler and plastic tit crowd are exception.
Don't be swayed by all the "who cares" crowd. If they're happy as they are (begs the question why they'd take the time to throw a negative comment in) that's great for the, but not everyone is the same.
It's something I've considered as I have longish hair and a beard, and going grey, but not in an even or distinguished way - it just looks kinda dirty and scruffy.
So this kind of product appeals as a way to maybe make my hair look a bit more consistent rather than dying it deep chesnut brown or whatever, during my inevitable transition into grizzled fishing trawler captain.
plastic tit crowd
Some of whom will be breast cancer survivors.
I had my last haircut three days before the first Covid lockdown in March 2020, five and a half years ago. Buzz cut #2. 58 years old now. I'm a lion, roowwwr! Go big...
I agree with Mark Radcliffe’s assertion that if you’re a bloke and you’re over the age of say 40 then you’re technically invisible anyway.
The only reason anyone would notice you is if you look ridiculous
One way to look ridiculous is to try and fight the ageing process. If you’re going to dye your hair then people will notice, because… well… you’ll look ridiculous. You may delude yourself that you won’t, but you will. People will then point out to each other that you look ridiculous and will s**** at you behind your back. That’s just a fact.
Just embrace your invisibility instead. You’re a bloke over 40. Absolutely nobody cares whether you have grey hair or not, but they’ll laugh their tits off you if you suddenly start to look like Paul McCartny, who looks absolutely ridiculous!
I shaved my hair off as soon as I started to go bald in my 20’s. I have absolutely no idea what colour it is as it never grows long enough for me to find out. It might be grey. I might have suddenly gone ginger. Who knows? Who cares? 🤷♂️

Having met you, I understand why you'd agree with this sentiment.
Frankly I'm disappointed that TJ isn't here yet.
Also,
Are we long overdue a mugshot thread? I could show off my fresh Brad Boimler before it fades to OAP blue rinse.
Having met you, I understand why you'd agree with this sentiment.
Well… exactly. I look like Phil Mitchell, as do most potato-headed blokes my age
Anyway… don’t be coming on here and tossing your long, luxuriant locks about! 😉
Is Cougar the Shameless lookalike?

No longer the Bialar Crais lookalike?

Jesus Heffing Christ you two! 🤣 That's either good memories or lucky hits.
Back when I had my <binners>luxuriant locks</binners> I went to the aforementioned hairdressers. I quipped "I look less like Dave Grohl these days and more like Frank from Shameless, something has to be done." She yelled across to an underling, "hey, who does he look like?" - pause - "what's your favourite show?" - then when her Padawan collapsed into giggles I knew that joking aside it had to go.
As for Crais, I have a close friend who found a photo of Lani Tupu online and genuinely believed he'd accidentally found a picture of me cosplaying at a con. Even now it gives me pause, he is - well, was - my (prettier, bigger and less grey) doppelganger.
(For the purposes of the record Your Honour, I think the only photo in circulation of me in fancy dress is as Jack Sparrow.)
Just to add my own perspective on going grey early, I’d have been perfectly fine with going grey in my late twenties, instead of going thin!
Now I’m just shaving off what’s left.
Another case of nominative determinism.
glad to see this thread is still rumbling on.
Just for reference, it appears my first thoughts of adding some colour back into my white head of hair was merely a brain fart that has dissipated.
Interesting to see the divide between staying natural, adding colour and shaving it all off! Thankfully, i am a very long way from the 'baldy' camp.
Would you know I dyed my beard if I hadn't told you?
Granted, not much of a beard in this pic, I do grow it out a bit more sometimes
Is that a green and yellow wig your trying to grow!
