I've been following Celebrity Big Brother (CBB) this year and couldn't help notice that Vinnie Jones (aged 45 yrs) has very dark hair indeed.

Clearly he dyes his hair and I wondered if any other forumites, probably in excess of 35 yrs when the grey starts to show, (unless your name is Ruby Walsh) also dye their hair?

I was closely monitoring this in the office today and also seeked some guidance from one of the young, administration executives. (yes really, that's her title) She assured me that there were a few 40 something males in our office who did indeed dye there hair on a regular basis.

I'm now showing quite a bit of grey and have been contemplating purchasing a packet of Just For Men.

Does anyone recommend this product?

Im not worrying Burt, I just wondered that perhaps it was/is more commonplace than I thought.

If its good enough for Vinnie Jones then why not!

When red-headed people are above a certain social grade their hair is auburn.

Strangely enough, the grey hairs are noticeably thicker and stronger than the black ones.

I wonder why this should be so?

Ive worked out if you wear a fair amount of hair gel then it tends to "darken" your hair and hide the grey.

Its only when I have no gel in my hair that I see how badly grey I am.

Im gonna try out this Just For Men though.

Don't do it Willie, or it'll be the slippery slope from then on sir. Corsets, hidden shoe extensions, you'll only be fighting a losing battle for the rest of your life.

Just say feck it and put your feet up.

Don't dye mine, bit of grey on sides, and round back, but thankfully still plenty of hair which is more important to me, so not really bothered about the grey. Shows up more just after I've had my hair cut.

A few of the chest hairs have started turning too.

dash,
I think we are all aware George Clooney is an exception to the rule. Brad Pitt, for example, is 46. Are you telling me he does not dye his hair?
The more I think about it the more I think its the way to go.

I can remember being in Delhi a couple of years ago. The Indians openly have their hair dyed along the roadside by "hairdressers". Think about it, do you know an Indian (of Asian extraction, not Red Indian) with grey hair?

Look at Dev from Corrie and also the fat bloke who plays his uncle in the Corner Shop

Don't do it. Dyed black hair is very ageing and black hair dye has been found to be a factor in cancer. Jose Mourinho, among others, looks absolutely gorgeous with greying hair. Besides it looks obvious and your 'alpha male' rating would go down.

I think it's stupid when young guys nowhere near going grey dye their hair. Theres always that purple sheen of dyed black hair you just can't help noticing.

I started going grey in my later 20's and not once did I try to hide it. I'm my mid 30's I realised I was thinning so rather than cover it, I shaved it all off, which, ironically, got rid of the grey! :D
