Hair dye/colour

[searchlight]

I'm a partially bald guy with grey hair. Is there a product which will darken what hair I have?
Thanks

Grey hair is distinguished ! Very short, a crew cut, is the best style for an older man. Dont dye it - it will go gingery after a while and think of the grey roots coming through! Look at older people as you walk around, look at their roots, and the colour that grey hair goes - and on men it just looks very vain and silly. And pleeease don't have a comb over. Ugh. Does anyone agree with me ?

'Just for Men' products are widely available (e.g. from Boots). They include 'A Touch of Grey' (which lets you keep some grey hair, so that the change isn't as obvious as it might otherwise seem):

and their hair colour, which gets rid of all your grey hairs:

Prices, and other available brands, can be found on the Boots website:

There's plenty of colors for grey hair but have it done in a salon as grey hair is quite resistant and needs stronger products than those bought off the shelf.

Just grow older gracefully .Nothing worse than men with dyed hair .

Agree with Shaney and if you are partially balding dying your hair darker will just emphasise the bald bits. Just keep it cut very short. Grey hair on men is more attractive than dyed hair. Keep natural!!

agree with all the ladies, please don't dye it, nothing worse (look at paul mccartney - yuk!).

Have to agree.

In the same way that men who 'comb over' are fooling themselves, and no-one else, hair dye on a man will be obvious, unless you can afford to have it professionally maintained frequently.

No-one really cares if you are bald, or grey, or both, so show that you don't either.

As advised, get a Number One, and look down on what Clive James calls 'closet baldies'.

tinting is more to do with style than ageing

I would imagine by now that most people on here would say to leave well alone.

IMO, dyed hair on men, along with comb-overs &/or tight perms can look obvious & a bit silly.

If I were a partially balding man with grey hair, I would have it cut as short as possible.

Nowt wrong with being bald, or being grey - it can look good on most men!

Thanks for all the replies.....I will be staying grey

[LoftyLottie]

Well done!!

[smudge]

Good for you searchlight! ;o}

[LoftyLottie]

Hello Smudge!! :o)

[smudge]

Well I never - I was just going to say the same to you Lottie, but 'Hello Lottie'! Great minds on the timing! Hope you & yours are keeping well & warm. ♥

[tillyh345]

imo I would say just shave the lot off bald completely is better than a little bit of grey!

[LoftyLottie]

No! Don't like bald completely unless it's natural. Looks thuglike (unless you are a Budhist monk of course!!) Just keep the grey very short, much niceer.

i think only some men can get away with a completely bald - as in shiny - look.

You need a nicely shaped head and very good skin to cover it.

I am fifty-six (tomorrow!!!!) and I have not lost all my hair - just at the crown, and losing at the front, so i have a Number One, and that looks fine on me - as it does on most men.

i have about one grey hair on each temple - no doubt more to follow - so now that the pattern is established, i will carry on and my subsequent hair loss / grey addition will be hardly noticed.
