I think that people should stop worrying about aging so much. I think people look more stupid trying to look young.
My husband has a lot of silver flecks running through his hair and I love it.....He also has laugh lines and crows feet....Shows his personality.
The trick is to dye it black or whatever color you used to be but leave a little gray. Just enough so you don't look silly, but not so much that you look like Moses.
I'll buy that argument! It has a tone of logic in it (which appeals to men) and would allow the *dye-er* to get away with his charade of trying to look younger and more virile for a longer period of time with less of these and more of these ...lol...again, my two cents worth.
I think that grey hair on men is very attractive. In fact, it's one thing that attracted me to my boyfriend. I shudder to think what his hair would be like if he attempted to dye it. Men look better as they age especially if they stay in good shape.
I'm a 54 year old man who has been getting his hair colored for about 4 years now. I'd become more salt than pepper and to tell you the truth, when I looked in the mirror, I was seeing an older and older man. Getting my hair colored was like turning back the clock for me. Bottom line: it makes me feel young. I'm not married. I never had any trouble getting dates with gray hair and I still don't. That's not the issue. This is just for me. I also work out, watch my diet, bleach my teeth, wear contacts, dress well and act like a gentleman. This is just part of the program. You guys that want to go gray, go ahead. You don't know what you're missing.
If you are old and grey man or woman please whatever you do, DO NOT dye your hair black. I see so many seniors with wrinkles and then jet black hair. Truthfully something so drastic will only bring out the wrinkles and make you look much older.
I knew a man whom I worked with who colored his hair blonde and always had black roots, then he colored it white...and then it was white and yellow...goodness..it looked awful!
I have a friend that shaved his head and grow a goattee and he is 74 years old. He did this because his hair was gray and he hated gray. You know whats bad is when my barber said I look better without hair then I do with it.

I did as your buddy and I'm 53. Best thing I ever did with my hair. Ladies and some men out there.....a full head of hair ain't necessarily good!
What's the old saying...............There may be snow on the roof but there's fire in the heart!
