Salt & Pepper or "Just For Men"?

I'd never dye my hair to look younger, even I had enough to dye. From an employment viewpoint I wouldn't want to work for an employer who was that shallow, I guess the same goes for the opposite sex.

Those commercials always make me laugh, the men in them just come across as vain ex-models with 1st World problems.

When I'm feeling brave later this year I'm going to shave it all off and, as I don't sport any face fungus, the only clue to the colour will be the ... ahem, other body hair. (Yeah - the long wavy tresses on my back)

My husband is 38 and totally gray... it's super sexy!
I, on the other hand color mine OFTEN! I will not let those suckers take over!!

my husband is getting more salt everyday and I think it's yummy.. be will hot a silver fox one day. well he's already hot... but me, I fight those suckers with everything in me ha!.. in short, men look great with grey.. makes them distinquished and sexy.. makes us girls look old.. not fair but true..

there is an instructor with grey/white hair at our gym, he must only be about 35 but it looks fabulous on him! My hubby has shaved his hair so its not really an issue anymore, but i would prefer grey over dyed anyday!
Stick with your natural colour and be confident with it :-)

Stay with the S&P

I'm 42 and it's happening. . I'm newly single. . It's not out of control yet. . but when it gets there. . . well. . I might just have to man-up and dye my hair. . .

What say you?

meh, I'm 32 and already have a decent amount. My attitude is that as long as it stays on my head I'm happy.

Sadly.. I'm not gonna have a chance to be S & P... Mine just falls out instead of turning..

Salt & Pepper = Distinguish in a good way!

There are alot of replies here so I don't know if this has already been said, I would suggest doing what makes you feel better. Feeling good about yourself is what makes people attractive. Personally, I don't like the gray hair. It makes me look older than I am, so I color, but I color with something that doesn't completely cover the gray. It covers most of it. but it leaves enough that there is no clear demarcation after my hair grows awhile.

I'm greyer than most men though. I have two adult daughters.

I find it interesting that most women here say Salt and Pepper is hot. I'm certain some women prefer little or no gray. I've even heard women say they didn't want to date men with gray hair. At the risk of making all the women angry, I think most of them are thinking of Sean Connery or something. The truth is that gray hair doesn't gray the same way on every man and on some men it looks good and on others it doesn't.

Anyway, do what will make you feel the best about yourself. That's really the whole trick. Taking care of yourself is attractive whether you're a man or a woman.

As long as the pepper out numbers the salt.. you are good!

Agree....

Disagree...NEVER a need for, just for men!!

I agree about men... however - what about women? I'm about 60% grey and I'm tired of covering it but my friends say it'll make me look too old to let the grey in.

I'm 39.

Thoughts?

I sort of feel that we women love the older man look....but most men prefer the younger woman look. I think that sucks...but it is what it is.

So, for women (I was a hairdresser before kids) the trick to coloring your hair and not looking bad is to go lighter than what you were before turning grey. A lot of women think that they had dark brown hair when they were younger, so when they start turning grey, the dye it dark brown. Not Good...too harsh on the skin and gives the hair an odd looking texture.

Go lighter than what you were or thought you were before going S&P or grey. And you can hi-lite it for a while before you can see all of the grey....have several colors running through your hair. Hair looks great that way.

I am lucky, at 42 (Saturday) no grey. But my mom and dad are just now starting to get some grey and they are in theirs 60s...so I have genetics on my side.
