I have some gray comming in. I have friends in their 30s who have more gray than dark hair. I was wondering what options I have to get rid of (or at least minimize) the impact of this problem. If you have ever tried a product to get rid of your gray please let me know what it is and if it worked or not.


Thanks ....

A natural occurrence of the human body is a problem? :confused:

If you are insecure with it, dye it. There's really no way to 'get rid' of it, short of shaving your head.

No suggestions other than to talk to your hairdresser/barber/whatever.

I have a question, though:

Which is more traumatic for men, starting to go bald or hair starting to turn grey?

I have a lot of gray. Unfortunatly, it brings no 'character' since it is on the back, top of my head. I wish it would make it's way down to where it's more noticeable.
I'm 29.

My dad's hair was almost entirely gray by the time he was 30. I'm a few months away from 25, and I've got several gray hairs coming in, and maybe 15% of my facial hair is gray. I can't say I've got any plans to do much of anything about it.

I've had a patch of gray (not too noticeable, unless you're looking at my head from above) that appeared when I was around 13. I'm 20 now, and luckily I only have around the same amount of gray hairs (maybe a couple more). I don't want to even consider dyeing my hair this early, and since its only a small patch, it doesn't bother me much. Actually, even if I was fully gray, I don't think I would dye my hair.

At my adevanced age I can still say that I have a lot to learn. I was hoping for someone of some mnimal intelligence to say that they had tried "product x" and it worked great.

I still have a lot to learn ... but not much time to learn it.

Been slowly (but noticeably) going grey since I was maybe 15. I keep my hair really short though, so it's difficult to tell unless I've gone a little long between haircuts. It runs in my family - my dad *was* grey by the time he finished highschool. Took my brother and I to make him go bald though :D

Don't do anything unless it starts getting white or grandma style. I asked the GF about this and she said gray hair makes you look rugged.

I'm going grey. Don't see it as a problem, though. Not gonna do anything about it.

Dude everyone can tell when guys shave their heads because their hairlines are retreating faster than the french.

Besides, having grey hair can make you look wise or sophisticated. Look at Sean Connery!

I am 22 and have a bunch of gray hair. I dont care not a big deal. its noticeable if you look for it but from a distance u cant see it. My dad has gray hair and I think it makes him look good. Other then the gray hair I have a VERY full head of hair and i get compliments on my quality of hair from ALL the ladies.
