ok, i just colored the grey hair on my temples
does that make me a bad person? :(

i felt like a was starting to look like my dad, so i'm letting my hair grow out a little longer, and took the leap into the 'just for men' generation!

i just feel too young mentally to look 'older'.

next thing ya know, i'll be ordering viagra over the internet. :eyes:

1. I think gray hair on a man is sexy...
Why would you color it? It makes you look wise...Why get rid of it...You earned every one of those gray hairs.

17. I do too
It can be very sexy. The weird thing is though, as a woman, at least how I feel about myself at the present, is that I wouldn't want any gray to show (I hardly have any yet though), but maybe I'll feel differently in another 20 or 30 years.

3. I know what you mean
My Father staring back at me, creepy, since he loved Nixon. I have long hair to really get to a different look. Middle aged hippies are totally brown (the shit), that means cool.

They don't sell a hair dying kit for your private area.

20. I suppose you could use the beard-coloring stuff.
It's a similar type of hair, after all.

On second thought, pretend that I clicked "back" instead of "post message".

8. Go for it.
I'm still dying my hair a little lighter than my original color(wherever it was), but now I let a little silver show around the temples. I wish I could look dignified and sedate with silver hair but I still retain the baby face and sassy attitude.

16. I like my gray hair.
I've had some since I was about 22 (37 now). I still had a coworker guess my age at under 30 a few weeks ago. (Damn, that felt good)

My small vanity admission: I *do* color the weird gray spot on my goatee, though. It makes me look like a miniature reverse-dalmation is clinging to my chin.

18. no play for mr. gray!!
Something I never understood about those Grecian Formula commercials where dude has his grip on because he doesn't want his internet friend to know he has grey hair. I mean.. sure, you can color your hair, and try and fool her, but what happens when/if they get in the bedroom?

23. That's what mirrors are for
You need to check it once in while to make sure it's still there. Of course I mean hair.
