Chum of mine has, quite obviously, hit the bottle and gone more than a little blonde. Not peroxide blonde, but clearly he bought the wrong shade of Clairol and won’t admit it!

So, who has a touch of the bottle and why? Chaps and ladies included of course….!

I did just for men once, i’m 42 going grey and had never dyed it.

I looked a pleb 😥 everyone took the piss.

Never again..

me, in a very silver/grey tone……….. 😉

Dyed my pubes red once, so yes if that counts

Highlights when younger, but then everybody did, didn’t they?

Not anymore – after having it pillarbox red, purple, green, blue, peroxide white and black and pink i think my natural (fading) colour is best left alone!

Were you riding in Mach and Nant this weekend, by any chance? 😆

GoingGone grey here…I sometimes wonder if I should have tried a bit of JFM when it started. Couldn’t get away with it now. Skinny jeans and grey hair – I struggle to get away with that sometimes.

I just work on the “no one’s actually that interested to mention it” thing.

Had some greys appear in the last year, but I won’t be dying it at any point in the future.

Did when I was way younger. Shave it all off now.

long since gone grey, but up until I hit 30 I did use the bottle.

But it wasn’t just accepted, it was expected at the time:

I am though aP. 😐

Does any of them dye things work then? Not at all bothered about going grey, I quite like it actually, but just curious as to how effective they actually are.

Know lots of women what dye their hair, but that’s acceptable, innit? Like Wonderbras an ting.

I’m what’s known as an aeroplane blonde.

that was then ^

this is now:

Me.

As one of the ‘cough’ older ladies on here, it’s better to hide the grey.
Although a helmet does a wonderful job, but shirley we’d all look silly in our everyday life wearing a lid constantly.

Meeeee!

mines been all sorts of colours, helps that Mum runs a salon, and one of my best mates is a Hairdreser. Red ATM.

Another “older” lady here – I have no grey 🙂 but like to dye it red/purple 😀

Emsz; can your mum do my hair electric blue please?

Mine is all grey/white, doesn’t bother me, even with skinny jeans 😉

Dye? No, just pull the grey ones out with tweezers 😆 . I do like the odd orange rinse though to match my valve caps 😉

Went mostly grey in my early thirties and it seems to be going a strange shade of blond/white now. Did try dyeing it a few times at the suggestion of an ex-partner (ten years younger than me at the time) and IIRC medium ash blonde worked well. Apparently the ‘ash’ part is key.

Tried something else once and spent a very embarrassing afternoon in the hairdressers, much to the amusement of the staff, who tried in vain to peroxide the Russ Abbott ginger out. I spent 2 weeks washing my hair twice a day before venturing out without a beanie!

If i could get into my flickr account, or figure out how to drag a pic from FB i’d attempt to post one of me in my ‘glory days’

What would you like – bright coloured mohican or glam rock tart? 😆

Dying hair I can just about understand (I wouldn’t though) but wearing a wig takes WTF to a whole new level.

Dye? No, just pull the grey ones out with tweezers

😆

I’d be half bald if I did that, Mama.

I might give dye a go, once me Mohican gows out. 😀

peroxide the Russ Abbott ginger out.

Ah yes, that’s the very thing that happened to Mr. bunnyhop when I first met him.

Johndrummer, looking at the 1989 pic, I don’t know if I’m more distressed by the hair or the the plate of dogshiz you’re about to tuck into for your dinner 😯

Yes – usually fairly subtle shades of red with highlights.

Thinking of going full-on ginger next time, though. Just need to build up the courage…

Student, innit? 😐

I’m feeding the cat in that pic – can of food labelled “Whiskas”.

going on the state of my hair, I think I may just have been about to go out…

Only once – for charidee.

Bleached the natural colour out and it was bluddy nippy.

I am though aP.

Sheesh, I can’t even have a quiet week at home whilst L is in Houston 🙄

My hair is like a retreating glacier in the face of global warming – nowt I can do but shave my head. 😕

Errrr…. Which one?

L’s in Houston?

I was in Euston the Day of the Yest.

You don’t want a quiet week. What you really want, is to meet up wiv da Elf, innit?

Make it so, Number One.

Yep, no worries Elf 😀

42 here and went peroxide for the second time recently.

Teh laydeez luvs it 😎

Between 18 and 36 or so was pretty much every colour except green – in a pretty conservative profession seems art teachers are allowed a little leeway!

Then grew my hair long again and got fed up with the hassle of dying lots of hair so returned to my native boring brown with grey bits (been there since my early 20s – bad genes).

The over-gelled spikes have now been back a few years but can’t be arsed to start dying again.

Eek! Have I started to get mature?

And your good self Cap’n? Just in case I bump into you on Salisbury Plain 😉
