I was delighted when an EX-girlfriend, not given to any tenderness, offered to wash my hair while I had a bath.
I was walking around for weeks with red hair & pink sideburns.
Not a good look on the building site.

What is the matter with some men that they can't accept being grey or bald.?

I can go back over 20yrs when I was at work and had great respect for a senior executive of a Nationalised Industry who was as bald as a coot and, being a number of years younger than he was, I always addressed him as Mr. ****** when he attended meetings at my organisation. However, after he took to wearing a wig and contact lenses, I lost all respect for him and thenceforth had no compunction of using his Christian name.

beezaneez.. although it would cost you more... why not go to a salon...?? I work in a salon... unisex..and we get a few men in who have thier hair coloured... no-one bats an eye when they come in.. and at least thier hair colour looks good! I cant advise you on ''over the counter'' stuff as I have no experience with that... Good Luck Mrs C xx

When I dyed mine a couple of times, as a teenager, I just used the same stuff that Women use. You get far more choices of colour than black, brown or light brown and after all hair is hair, isn't it.

Beez I lost all of my hair, which as a woman could have been pretty traumatic, but I didn't let it be.
When my hair came back I kept it super short but I'm now growing it, and when I decided to do that, I decided to stop dyeing it too.
I'm going grey and I don't care. It matches my skin tone and anyway, what's wrong with having lived longer than some others?
Wear your grey with pride. It's never put me off a man.

Nothing wrong with silver/grey., look how nice Philip Scofields hair is.

the problem with dyeing your hair is its a long term commitment, you have to be prepared to do it very regularly, as you get older you should lighten the colour a few shades as it will look very obvious. I dont see why you cant use a womans hair dye, they are all the same really.

One tip i would suggest is to use a slightly lighter shade than your normal hair.

The reason for that is that when the dye starts to grow out or fade there isnt such a stark difference between that and the grey showing thro.

Hoep that makes sense a hairdresser once told me that and it seems to work :-).

Also it is only marketing that stops men using women's hair dye. Go for it.

If you are embarassed to buy it get your OH or a female friend to go with you, they can also help pick out the right colour.

Good luck x
