No really...
I've always felt ok about the grey hair, but since the arrival of deadly junior, I've been feeling self-conscious about looking like an "old" dad. My skincare routine has always been good, and I'm blessed with youthful looks thanks to my dad. I just feel let down by a bit more grey hair than I'm happy with tbh.
I'd most likely go to a hairdressers to get it done.
What would you recommend? I'd probably be a bit embarrassed to just go fully brown again. But maybe I'd get away with a going back a bit salt and pepper, rather than mostly salt and not much pepper.
Anyone here do it? Off the shelf or hairdresser?

this is me ^
My best mate did. Swore blind he hadn't. Kept on denying it. It was so bleeding obvious we all laughed. Muchly.
Embrace the Silver Fox look, DD. It's one of the joys of being a chap. Grey looks good!
(I'm going rather "blonde" at the moment. Ahem)
Hair, I remember that.
Don't go the Paul McCartney route, go grey with pride, it's waaay more distinguished.
It always looks naff and so obvious especially when I point and laugh. Don't forget your fake tan and Botox.

*hugs balding brother*

I don't mind being a bit grey...just not totes grey.

As I said, youthful looks mean I don't need either of those. Although, I understand starting colouring my hair might be the thin end of a wedge.
wear a hat
Grey hair doesn't make you look old, btw.
Grey hair on a wrinkly old man looks old, of course.
I've known young lads with grey hair, they just look like young lads. I also worked with a mid 20s guy totally bald old man style, with a little around the back. He looked and acted like a bald mid 20s man.
I love watching a public mid life crisis.
Pics when you get it done please.

Would that be in the poses you usually ask me for? 🙂

what makes people look old is them grimly trying to cling on to their youth.
Its you're irish roots (pun) that are showing - I've got friends there who started going grey when they were 18
and as for the question "So...anyone colour his hair?" whats the point of anyone wearing a disguise and then telling you they are wearing a disguise? The problem with dye, wigs, botox and the rest is its a lie, but you can't stop lying because then you admit the lie.

Eek!
I find that grey hair on a man is much more attractive than looking too high maintenance. I'd leave well alone!
oh god...
How short is your hair?

I've grecian 2000'd my 'tache, it worked fine.
It was blonde though (NOT ginger or grey!).
If I was going grey though I think it's best embraced - certainly on older folk it's often easy to spot.

Also, which hair we talking? Plan on matching cuffs and collars?

nah it's the giving up and acceptance that suddenly jeans with a shirt and blazer looks ok and that loafers are comfortable.
at that point seek a vet with a shotgun. there is no cure and beige will be next.
I'm thinking of going from this kind of grey:

careful, that could be painful LOL
I would happily turn for either Anderson Cooper (handy as he is already gay), or Mr Clooney.
So I reckon either is just fine.
Here's how it's done!

Dyed hair - on a bloke?!?!??
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Seriously, It looks pathetic.
Just don't.
You know how you feel when you see a bloke with an obvious wig - it's funny, but secretly you feel a bit disgusted and sad for humanity?
Well that's what people will think when they see your STUPID, SAD, PATHETIC, NEEDY, RIDICULOUS AND VAIN dyed hair. 🙂
People will laugh. Not in a good way.
No one cares about grey hair on a bloke, but dying your hair sends out a message that you are not to be trusted and are sadder than a kitten's funeral.
No one takes a bloke with dyed hair seriously on any level.
You might as well just wear make up and get it over with. 😀
embrace the silver gift
*s****s*

Stop this silliness.

Hair - I wish.
Leave well alone.
There should be a warning with any kind of hair dye for Men.

What would you recommend for that rugged, experienced yet youthful look then?

L'Oreal, and sometimes a tinted moisturiser in the Autumn/Winter if I feel I'm looking a little washed out.

Dyed hair.......get it over with.
So that's a "No" from you I reckon.
there is no cure and beige will be next
I was resplendent in something that could only be described 'bright beige' today
I always think I still have brown hair till I see a photo of myself, quite scary how grey I am considering I'm only 41....

I did back in the 80s when I was 20-something. grey on a goth doesn't look good 😉
this is me c1988, go on, have a laugh:

when I got to about 32 I couldn't be bothered any more.
this is me now (well, strictly speaking, 2009):

If you start dying it now, your mates will laugh. muchly 😉
and the other parents at junior's school will s**** and whisper behind your back.
Hair?
I went bald in my 30's and shaved it off. If I grew what bit I'd got, I'd be as grey as footflaps ^^ Neither bothers me, or seems to draw attention from anyone, whatsoever.
I think it sounds like a cracking idea. I'd wager that a lot of the posters on this thread are either dyers already, but afraid to admit it, or simply too insecure to take the plunge themselves. I've been dying my hair grey since I was a student and it's given me an air of gravitas that women really can't resist and men respect. Well worth it.
A slippery slope indeed.
Where will it end?
Dyed eyebrows and pubes?
Seriously MTFU. Age with grace and dignity as those qualities are timeless.

LOL I think most of that could be turned around and the exact opposite be equally true 😉I'd wager that a lot of the posters on this thread are either dyers already, but afraid to admit it, or simply too insecure to take the plunge themselves. I've been dying my hair grey since I was a student and it's given me an air of gravitas that women really can't resist and men respect. Well worth it.
Having been grey/greying since late 20's I think the only way to get away with it is if you take action immediately it becomes a little noticeable. One it's mostly grey you have passed the point where ridicule is inevitable.
It's never bothered me but I tried 'colouring' for a few months in my early 30's at GF's suggestion and being blonde'ish got away with it until an experimental change in dye necessitated a month of hat wearing (think Russ Abbott) and rather gave the game away.
I would strongly advise getting it done professionally (and subtlely) if you go down that route but bear in mind, to keep it that way it's going to be lots of ££'s for years!
