This goes with the beard thread - who dyes their hair to get rid of gray?

The beard looked bad because it was so gray. As were my temples. Debate shaving the beard off, even posted a Lounge thread.

Damn, I got brave and bought "Just For Men" like half a shade darker than my normal blond/brown. Both for the beard and hair. Then I completely disregarded the bit about testing for allergies first and just did it last night.

Damn if I don't look like 6-8 years younger! I like it. and I like the look of the beard, just shaved it up a little bit off the neck past the chin line. I think it looks pretty good on me. And I love not having to shave every day.

So, if I break out in a horrible rash, my fault, but I doubt it, no problems so far.

I then found the stuff for "hair" hair

But I didn't find any for ears, backs, chests, underarms or legs, so I said fuck it and lived with the gray.

at least, I don't think I look old. I'm not gonna get carded at the liquor store, but I think I look fairly young. Other than the gray hair.

I've thought about it, even though I'm actually settling in with the gray thing. But every once in a while I see a picture of myself and go "holy fuck!" and think about it again.

Whiskers on my face started turning gray about 3 years ago but I like to be clean shaven so it's not a problem for me.

No gray hairs any where else (including my head), hope it stays that way for awhile longer.

My father did not get any gray well into his 60's, I hope thats one gene he left me.

If I were to grow a beard it would be pretty grey, but I don't. I have a bit around the temples and that's about it. I still look relatively young for my age, so I don't worry about it much.
