What do you chaps use do dye greying heir? Gradual shampoo products contain lead which if used for long periods will accumulate in the nervous system, no good. Grecian formula? Just for Men? What else is there that's any good?

Seek a good hairdresser first to learn the ropes. Easy to mess up and look like a weirdo. May as well be wearing a toupee if you get a bad dye job.
They will advise you on what to use, maintenance, what will suit your head/hair.
Once you learn more about it, then you can start trying the "home" products.

Is grey hair that bad for you?
The George Clooney aka the sliver fox is not a bad look.

When I saw that my heir was grey, I recommended him to embrace the silver fox look. After all, I started to go grey around the same age.

What age is that?

Post: #5

I'm tanned / dark-complected and naturally medium brown hair (darker when I was younger). The grey hairs really stood out for me in my 30s and now early 40s. I wore it natural and longer for a while but felt gaming younger girls was easier for me if I didn't signal I was a 'silver fox' right off the bat. I researched stylists and tried a few then settled on one with very good reviews and have been quite pleased.

For reference:

She uses a blend of Redken medium natural and dark natural and it looks really good, very natural. I get it done about once a month as my hair grows fast so it's a cut and color combined, keeping it fairly short. I also decided to stay largely shaved because beard was greying too. The phase I'm in right now (and especially during hotter summer weather) I don't like a lot of facial hair. In combination with getting leaning / more cut, I like being mistaken for early 30s (sometimes late 20s). I just nod and agree.

Find a good stylist and work with her. Since I have some eczema the Redken burns a little during the 5-8 minutes it's on my scalp but it's tolerable. I haven't noticed any weird rashes or reactions. YMMV as always.

Also, take good care of your face! There are some good threads out there on that.

My heir began to go grey in his late 20s, same age as I did. Oddly my second-born kept his dark locks much longer.

Alternatively you could shave it, some people look better with that look.

I really don't care if my heirs have gray hair; by then I will be gone.

Post: #11

My grey heir's got some gay hair but my gay heir's grey hair grayed fair and square.

Post: #12

Golly gosh, gone pear-shaped, meant grey hare not grey heir!

Your rabbit has gone grey? That does sound serious!

Gray hare heir

All puns covered, intercepting suits.

Post: #16

On the road one day rode a grey heir, upon a grey mare, who together were given a scare by the appearance of a large grey hare. "It is not fair," said the grey hare to the grey heir, "That this grey heir does err and ride a grey mare instead of a grey hare." The grey heir and the grey mare could not help but stare at this talking grey hare, who they considered quite rare. "If indeed it be not fair that I ride a grey mare instead of a grey hare," said the grey heir to the gray hare, "Then I swear, this injustice shall I square and therefore must I share my future riding between a grey mare and a grey hare." There followed a prayer by a thankful grey hare, who did solemnly swear right then and there to declare for the grey heir, and forswear other riders who couldn't compare. So with no shortage of flair, flying through the air like some dashing corsair, the grey heir did dismount the grey mare and climb upon the back of the grey hare, as if ascending a stair, and sat atop the grey hare with the comfort of the finest chair. And such was the affair of the grey heir, the grey mare and the grey hare. Assuming you care.

You almast got all the puns in there...

BTW funny that the "possibly related threads" has a "Grey Hair" thread. Maybe that's why OP opped.

I'm starting to go grey and my 26 year old wife loves it. Don't worry about it. Hit the gym harder and lose a few pounds.

There's something to be said for having grey hair (heir, hare, whatever).

I used to use just for men, but then I decided "fuck it." The "fuck it" worked out better. Don't worry about your hair's color. Have your hair positioned neatly. Don't look slovenly. Wear some stylish shit.... I'll tell you, girls look at your belt, your watch, and your shoes--way the fuck before they see your hair.

Can't believe with all the bullshit things poking fun no one pointed out the "grey/gray" thing....

^^I've heir in my nose... There could be a problem.

Post: #23

It's an individual issue.

For some men dying your hair is the better look. For others it will be growing out your beard.

In some instances grey hair and beard can even improve results with women:

That bloke is a 35yo fitness Instagram star:





Working out and some steroids made his body happen, but he found success only after he grew out the beard and dyed it all white.





He does look less striking with his normal dark hair.
