Hair coloring for men

Compensation for "other thing(s)"

They're usually not fooling their friends, but they may fool strangers.

I actually like gray hair on a man. Silver and gray are lovely colors, and a man who dyes his hair looks vain and that's almost as much of a turnoff as plucked eyebrows for me.

[Sigh] I wish I could be as welcoming to bald men as I am to gray-haired men, there are SO many bald men out there!

Just For Men shampoo in hair color works well. And it is so gradual that it looks natural. Personally, I wish it weren't soooooo gradual. But it's not a dye. You can use Just For Men hair dye. But the JFM shampoo-in hair color is a entirely different process.

R3. Yes, I agree, gray hair on some men does look good. I'm not one of those men.

JFM here. Just go light and stick to the time. I do the color abour every 4 months and use the shampoo once a week. Yes, there is gray. Oh, dye my beard and use the 'poo on that too. Washes out way quicker. They are gray on the sides only, but it glitters. No shit.

I found you really didn't need to look in the mirror much during the past year...that helps.

Guys who "color" their hair invariably end up looking like Sheldon Adelson (late, unlamented).

I wish I HAD grey hair. I think grey hair looks great. I’m mid-50s and my beard has gone totally white but my hair doesn’t have a single grey hair in it. It looks like I’m dying my hair, and makes me look dumb as fuck.

Has anyone ever suffered as much as me?

You all need to work on Rudy, he's in desperate need of help

I just saw a trailer for some new movie with Chris Pratt. AWFUL dye job. Think twice, people!!!!

If JFM shampoo is not dye . . . WHAT IS IT??!!

Don’t go too dark like Rudy or too brassy like Trump.

Just watched John Stamos on American Idol - He looked like Elvis. Not a grey hair on his head!

Its strange, I love the look of silver grey hair, but it does make you look older..

No No No. if you need to know why men should not dye, look no further than Ty what’s his name from Modern Family

Pathetic and desperate for attention

Unless it's done professional ,dye jobs always look like dye jobs.

Actually, just about EVERY Celebrity male dyes his hair. Stamos is just the tip of the iceberg. The BAD dye jobs are not what you are going for, but I have seen some great mens hair coloring. Most are so good we just don't notice

Id be hitting the salon every 3 weeks, its not possible to keep up the maintenance

The brown seems to have a copper tone that looks unnatural.

Does anyone dye their eyebrows? Mine are starting to get a lot of grays. My head is ok but my beard is quickly getting mostly gray.

Get it done professionally and never let the grays surface to begin with. I have a gray color blending rinse done that masks the grays and is very natural, but it washes out quickly. This is one of things that is better to go to an experience and well known stylist. I pay $145 for cut and blending every 5-6 weeks. Keeping away the grays is one of the easiest ways to look at DL 25 at 40. I think gray hair looks good on some people but really ages others.

r21. Try colored brow gel - looks amazing! seriously

My hair is completely white so Im fucked.

i'll take r22 at his word that it looks good.

But i know people like R22 who spend $150 every 4 weeks and their hair usually looks fake because they insist on no gray showing and they end up with a weird color not found in nature without any gray way past the age where its possible. then they usually overcompliment their colorist's abilities.

I embraced my grey hair at 52, but honestly, my fired encouraged me to color it again. Even my younger 35 YO friends said I looked better with dyed hair. I actually hate it, but now Im a slave to a fucking dy job every 3 weeks

With color, I get it a couple shades light which actually looks more natural than if you go a darker color. I'm a swimmer and just tell everyone the chlorine and sun bleach my hair naturally. I'm sure everyone buys that excuse.

r27, Um, yeah...

I am more bothered by a gray or calico-cat-like beard. Especially when it's mismatched with the hair on top. E.g., Justin Trudeau.

Eyebrows, yes, you can dye them. In fact, IMO, men should pay more attention to their eyebrows. Trim them, if necessary. If they have a tendency to grow downwards, use some moustache wax and comb them upwards or at least to the side.

Does anyone have good experience with at home shampoo in color?

I've seen lots of gays with dyed hair. I think I've seen one that looks "natural." The others always think they look natural, but we know. If you don't care, then go for it. It's your hair, your business. But, it's less natural looking than you think - nothing wrong with gray!

Related note - I have a decent amount of gray in my hair, but my whiskers come out jet black. If I don't shave for a while - even a few days - it looks like I dye my whiskers, but not my hair. Ugh.

My 70 year old boss did it and it turned out fucking GREEN. Not a joke, just the truth. Green. He's not even ashamed about it which I find even more disturbing than the fucking color.

Hair coloring is for girls, If you're an old graying man get a Porsche

Old men who insist on young dyed hairstyles look really stupid. Like that 75 years old woman you know with jet black hair.

The last time I dyed my hair was to get a job, and then stopped dying it. That was 10 years ago.

I think it’s ridiculous and conducive to other emotional issues. Then again, I feel the same way about all cosmetics, which really promote the message that being yourself is not good enough and that aging is bad.

And before you bitches start, [italic]I[/italic] will sign my own name, thank you!

I fucking botox, use filler, go to the damn gym - My damn grey hair is making me look older! Only thing worse would be if I was bald...

Here's the thing Eldergays: if you're in your 40s and you've got a few gray hairs here and there, it's pretty sexy

When you're in your 50s you can probably cover the gray up some without it looking like an obvious dye job, though you've either got to be on top of it all the time so there are no grey roots or, if you use the wash in thing, you wind up with a reddish color as it fades out that looks really odd.

But by the time you're 60, it looks really obvious that your hair is colored.

I’m 37 with some flecks of gray coming through at the sides, but that’s about it. Seems professional dye jobs are the only real option but I doubt I could be bothered committing to the upkeep, so I’ll take it as it comes.

Box dyes seem universally flat and awful. One friend in his 50s dyes his hair jet black, and every time we meet I struggle not to ask why he has a dead crow sprawled on top of his head.

[quote] I’m 37 with some flecks of gray coming through at the sides, but that’s about it. Seems professional dye jobs are the only real option but I doubt I could be bothered committing to the upkeep, so I’ll take it as it comes.

R39, this is the time to jump on it. Start bothering with it because with just a few grays, you can blend them out without anyone noticing and then just keep the coloring going as the gray increases. No one will notice.

There’s a picture in the DailyMail today of Mike Myers with a bad dye job.

Redford’s isn’t a dye job, it’s a rug.

Here's 40 year old Redford being an extreme blonde. He's no stranger to hair color.

I gave up dying my hair and beard because it’s just too much upkeep. For the last couple years I’ve been dying my mustache only dark brown. Silly, but it makes me look younger and people don’t clock me for dying my hair.

I have a shaved head so obviously don't dye my hair, but I do my beard every couple of weeks - I have too many colours in my beard, from blond to ginger to brown to grey, and a consistent colour just makes it look much better and thicker.

I don't much care if people know or not.

If you want to look young as you age, lighten.

r46 is spot on. Dark hair coloring looks so obvious. I have some white at the temples, but everything else is still light brown. I touch up the temples with Cremo foam in a dark blond and it looks very natural.

Jim Brickman gave up on hair coloring a while ago. You can get away with no coloring if you look like this.

Can a man wear his hair longer if it grey or is it too "witchy?"

Brickman looks good

He's a silver fox. There are some guys I know in their late 20's/early 30's with the perfect shade of silver. Does anyone dye their pubes?

I use the Just For Men Control GX shampoo dye, and like the results as the grey shows through. I have a couple dye resistant patches though, so I sometimes just brush in the dye shampoo strategically in just those areas You can’t really mess anything up as it’s a weak dye, The only issue I have with it is there’s always a length gradient, and you suddenly look much greyer after a cut. However, it’s much better than the pasty solid dye look.

Before Covid, I had it professionally done at a salon but switched to self clippers cut and the GX shampoo during lockdown. Saving loads of money , and I prefer my look more now. Having very short hair makes life so much easier as well. Probably not going back to the old routine.

Right there with R8. I'm 56, hair is brown with very little grey, but my stache and sideburns are totally white.

never looks good in real life

Please. This stupid question pops up every couple of month on here.

Group 1. SOME VERY LUCKY MEN look absolutely stunning and very handsome with gray hair. Very sexy.

Group 2. OTHER MEN look washed out, prematurely old and wasted with gray hair because the white sucks the color out of their skin/facial features and can age them 10-20 years.

We live in an incredibly ageist world (particularly in the workplace) so there's no point in all the shrieking that no-one should ever color their hair! Ridiculous. I'm not talking boot polish, full coverage black hair on a 60 year old man. That's always unforgivable.

Having well dyed gray hair takes a lot of work and specialization and can be worth it. A good, experienced hairdresser can make the second group of men look much better. The secret is to only cover 40% or so strength of the gray to tone it down and add pigment. No-one should ever try to hide gray hair but it can be managed to enhance an older man's looks.

However, after about 60 it's time to just let it go gray and deal with it. That's when it can start to look really desperate.

R15 - Ty Burrell from Modern Family has a full on wig/toupee hair piece. That's not a dye job.

How does coffee work?

Watch out with those shampoo dyes. They’re weak but over time can taint your fingernails a gross grey brown color.

Those dye shampoos aren't good for your hair. They contain metallic dyes. Stay away from them... A Demi permanent dye is much better and gradually fades so there is no line of demarcation.

Aren't there natural products for hiding gray hair? My grandpa used to use a product with rosemary, walnut bark (??), and mint. It would turn his gray hair into dark.

Walnut is a natural dye of hair or anything.

I want Jim Brickman inside me quite deeply.

I went grey in my early 30s. Like full on grey. I tried dying my hair but how do you stop it from staining your scalp?

R61 Oh yes, get in line for some of his warm seed

Got my first grey in my teens but it was inconsequential. Started getting multiples around 20-25, then you'd notice a few around 25-30. 31 and I'm in the weird place there I could just ignore it, or haircuts mostly deal with it, but if I feel especially picky I'd pluck them out with a tweaser.

But really I think I look fine with them, will look fine salt+pepper if I take up the gym and healthier living, but I'm also not opposed to coloring my hair. I just can't continue doing that as a senior and I need to prioritize the cosmetic aspect vs the social. I hope to be 45+ and not dying my hair just to look 'young', but instead to only amplify appealing - sometimes 'youthful' - features of myself.

Just a little sun in, some lemon juice, and pool time gurls and you will be forever a twink.

Dye is always obvious. Period. Every single person will know you are dying your hair. The worst is do-it-yourself dye of any short - shampoo or not - it does look fake. If you don't care, and think subtle mockery behind your back isn't a big deal, dye your hair - it's your hair, tough shit if others notice.

Are you a baldie, r66?

R67 no, I have a lot of hair and used to dye it through various means, and looking back at pics, it looks silly. I wonder what I was trying to accomplish - scared of aging, I suppose. Now I have a pretty decent amount of gray. I'm in a large city, with lots of gays, and you can spot instantly the ones with dyed hair. Now I focus more on my skin. I'm 48, but I swear people mistake me for 47 and a half.

R66 Not true.

The problem with the dyes that fade away is that for men with darker hair, the color does not go from dark brown to sort of gray, but rather turns a light brown almost reddish color first, which creates a tri-tone look.

It's not something you'd notice from a distance but if you're in a conference room with someone or at dinner, you'll notice it.

WHAT ABOUT COFFEE for hair dye?

I have very light brown hair now going gray. The shampoo in color is too dark for me. I can’t find something that works for lighter air.

I have patches of dark hair and then grey. It looks dull. I don't care about full on silver but can I die it all to get the dark out? I assume that is bleaching but I don't want blonde I want full on white. Is that possible?

For a while I had a stylist dye my hair and it looked fine because within 1-2 days it would wash out of the temples (which have been gray since high school) and off of some of the grays here and there all over my head, so it looked natural enough.

Eventually I had so much gray that the dye started to wash out unevenly in sections rather than a few hairs here and there. Leaving it at its natural 40% gray washes my face out but I don't think I have any other options, since the dye doesn't take on my grays very well.

My stylists uses Redken Shades EQ on my hair in 6 N and the results are great - Color fades and never looks like I dye my hard. Its like a translucent color that just darkens the gray. I was naturally a level Scott Baio 3 -almost black. The lighter color is a great choice!

I went bald at 18 and it was so traumatic that many many years later I still haven't gotten over it. I had a very unhappy childhood so imagine being a middle aged man and you're not even 20. All this to say I wear a hairpiece and I know people know and I can't care about it. I look far worse without it(I was a forceps baby) and sometimes a wig can look too good which can be even worse. Best people know straight out and don't feel at some point deceived.

Just do the eyebrows. A lot of grey in the eyebrows reeeeeeally ages a man. Touch them up carefully and you will get a lot of mileage out of a simple and manageable fix. JFM works for this. Just don't buy a color that is too dark.

Years ago there was a similar thread, and I'll never forget the poster who described his friend who colored his gray hair black. The friend insisted it made him look younger, but the poster proclaimed that it just made him look like a gay vampire.

Jim Acosta on CNN has beautiful salt and pepper hair. But he keeps coloring it dark, which actually does look natural on him (if you don't know he is s/p) but he still looks really hot with his s/p hair and should not color it, in my humble opinion.

Jim Brickman has done a great job with his hair but what the picture at R48 doesn't show you is how fat he's gotten.

r75 My stylist uses Shades on me also, since it coats the hair, I actually leave the salon with a thicker head of hair. Great product!

Grey is sexy.

I wish there was a pill or supplement we could take to keep our natural original color.

Gray/salt&pepper only looks good on men with black or darkest brown hair. It makes men with brown or blonde hair look old and washed out. You need to dye your hair if you fall in this category. You can get away with coloring all of your hair if you're 45 or younger, but you need to leave some gray if you're older than that.

Remember, you only notice the bad dye jobs. You never notice the good ones, and there are lots of good ones out there. Brad Pitt looks 20 years younger here because of an excellent color job. Tom Cruise is another example of a male celebrity who gets excellent color work done.

From a distance maybe R84

He's got genetics going for him, a body that hasn't gone to seed and likely plastic surgery too that make him look the proverbial DL "10 Years Younger"

The hair dye helps him look younger on camera and from a distance, but up close you'd know.

I’m 51, when my grays started coming in at 38 they looked awful but now my entire head is gray and I like it. I use purple shampoo once a week which tamps down any yellow tones and makes the gray really shine, it actually looks like silver. I think it’s unique, I’d much rather have silver hair than white hair.

Jim Acosta's dyed hair looks like shit. That he would go to all that trouble to look younger but then neglect to lose 20 pounds to finish the job is inexplicable.

What is purple shampoo and what brand?

Purple shampoo keeps gray hair from turning brassy. There are numerous brands, like Clairol Shimmery Lights or Aveda Blue Malva,

Did anyone else notice that fuckface Roger Stone seems to bleach/dye his dark hair white? Not that I'm surprised by any of his shenanigans though...

I started graying in high school, and was 100% gray and white by the end of college. People have always complimented me on my silvery hair. I shampoo with Clairol Shimmer Lights once a week.

Italy is known for great hair color/care products and beauty professionals...

This is how you color a man's grey hair to have a natural effect. If you look at the before and after photos at end of video it really doesn't look like client had much done, just a subtle difference that enhances.

[quote] Actually, just about EVERY Celebrity male dyes his hair

And 20% of men have some fake teeth in their mouth.

Some of the shampoo in hair colors have a slightly purplish tint that's a dead giveaway and it makes the wearer look cheap. It's better to let it go.

For those that know and understand hair coloring that purple or violet tint isn't exactly bad. It counteracts the often yellow tinge that white (or as some would call grey) hair takes on.

Clairol and others make a purple tinted shampoo (Shimmer Lights) for same reason but for blonde, silver and other lighter shades of hair; to cancel out yellow or brassiness.

Similarly green cancels out red which is why hair coloring products for dark to deepest brown usually have a greenish tint as base. It cancels out the red (warmth). Blue-violet cancels out red-orange and so it goes....

R16 Yes, people that dye their hair cause they don't like to be gray, are doing it for the attention. Idiot

R82 Why, thank you!

The Italian man at R92 has a silly hair style and nice salt and pepper hair. The before and after is so minor to the overall impact, a client will have wasted his money.

What color in shampoo would a redhead use who is going gray?

R98

Actually as stylist explains he did more intense effect on crown and towards front, but sides and back less so. This made for a very subtle natural look, which (again) as stylist explains is what most men are looking for with hair color and grey...

If you look at before and after pictures client is more grey at crown and towards front than after. But the grey isn't totally covered, just bit intensely covered while also translucent. This is what men's grey hair coloring should look like, people shouldn't be able to tell a man has had anything done to his hair.

This client is also blessed in that he still has a nice thick head of hair!

The client is handsome and wasting his money on silly hair style and subtle coloring.

r99 try john frieda color shampoo and conditioner. my hair soaks it up.

Anyone tried Just for men beard tye? Is it good? I have grays in my beard that I hate.

Beard stuff washes out quicker than the hair stuff. If you have a full beard you will be spending a lot of time and $ on it.

I’m in my 50s and have a full head of grey hair. I used to dye it but I don’t like the maintenance. Now that it’s full grey I noticed I’m getting more attention from young boys. And I like it!

Daddy!

R86 Let's hope those guys at the Butch's barber shop don't hear about this, Madge! tee-hee!

Ugh, so I was going on about having a great stylist who costs a fortune and how natural his work is. I recent;y got a cut/color on the day the stylist got his second vaccine shot and he was a little out of it. Later that day, I was sitting outdoors having a drink and some drunk chick complimented me on my red hair!!!!!! I don't have red hair, it's like a sandy blond naturally and with color. He must have fucked up this time and I didn't notice in artificial light, but obviously it looks red under natural light because this bitch made a point to come up to me to pay this "compliment". Can he do an easy correction to get rid of the red tones. It will wash out and fade in a few weeks anyways, but that's annoying.

!tête de carotte!

I had to lie and fake pride in being a natural ginger instead of saying the colorist fucked up. Quell horror!!!

Dyed hair is always detectable, R108. Just because this is the first time someone decided to drag you over it (compliment, wink wink!) don't think this is the first person to notice. Oh, no. No way.

R111 - is absolutely correct. We’ve all known all along about your “secret” R108. But whatever helps you sleep at night.

Hair coloring for men is tricky because often they have thinner hair then women, especially along hairline.

If one is blessed with a nice thick full head of hair like guy in R93 then things are a bit easier hair color wise.

OTOH see clip of an older gentleman with a nice head of hair but not so thick. Results are still good, but bit more noticeable.

For record women with thinning hair and or even bald areas have same issues with coloring their hair.

Just get it done professionally. There’s nothing wrong with colouring your hair. Go for it.

What’s the whole thing of wanting to look “natural”? There’s no need to deceive people. How small minded. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look YOUR best. There’s not much that’s “natural” about your personal grooming - it’s personal, it’s how you want to look.

Not every man’s grey comes in strong - for a lot of people it just comes in, in specks. That can make them look unkempt. I would love nothing more than to be a total silver fox - but that’s not how my hair grows. I’ve been getting my hair coloured since I was like 26 y.o. - because I wanted a darker tone. I’ve done other things over the years - white blonde a few times, highlights and lowlights, a couple of time I shaved it down to a No. 1 which I enjoyed. Do what you want, get it done professional but let go of the idea that you’re hiding something or deceiving people or even trying to please others. Some industries demand it - as someone noted above, most actors colour their hair because you need a strong hair colour to withstand the intense lighting.

A professional will consult with you every time for the desired effort. Unless you’re making a statement, which is fine, the tone of your hair colour needs to compliment the pigment of your skin, otherwise you end up looking like a wig stand.

I’m getting my hair coloured and cut on Wed. for the 1st time in…14 months. I can’t wait! But if you’re trying to hide something - from yourself or others - or otherwise deceive people, don’t colour your hair. Those are the wrong reasons. Assume that people know you get your hair coloured and that’s all right. Tell people if it comes up (“Oh, I’ve got a hair appt. today…”) Anyone you see regularly will know because of the vibrancy of the tone of your hair every 6 - 8 weeks. If you want to, do it for yourself. Otherwise don’t bother. And don’t ever deny it.

Apologies for the typos.

R115. Great post. I think you should do everything for yourself - Botox, filler, hair color. Honestly, if it makes YOU feel better Do it!

Oh, it might make him feel better, but how does it look?

I use semi-permanent Natural Instincts 5A, medium cool brown, Clove.

One box gives me 4 applications on guy length hair. 10 mins.

I color on a Friday night and by Monday it has faded to an ordinary guy plain medium brown. It takes 15 mins every other Friday or Saturday.

Because is it such a mousy brown, few people suspect anyone would go out of their way to look like that.

Just my 2 cents.

But some poster can see it a mile away. He must be a flacon colorist!

I do mine like every 2 months or so and Frieda color enhancing shampoo and JFM shampoo like once a week. Works for me.

The beard..oy! became a goatee. White all down the sides. Although a glittery silver when I comb it up to see.

[QUOTE] Because is it such a mousy brown, few people suspect anyone would go out of their way to look like that.

that sounds excruciatingly boring, do you wear beige?

Mick Jagger had has great hair into his 70’s...I was up close to the stage a few years ago and his hair was mesmerizing because I knew it was died but it looked natural....Springsteen on the other hand seems to have used black shoe polish.

r121, not boring, very natural.

Just to follow up on my previous post - I had my hair coloured and cut today for the 1st time 14 months!

I was hospitalised with COVID in April 2020 (had been self-caring at home since about the last week of March that year - what a blur that was). About a month after I'd been discharged from hospital, sort of early in my COVID recovery, my hair started falling out. This is quite common, post-COVID. I had grown it out long like Brad Pitt's and it was coming out in clumps. By mid-June, every time I looked down at a surface (like while working from home) it was covered in strands of hair. When our hair salons in the UK re-opened last 4th of July, I just went and had it all shaved down to a No.1, which was great.

So today, we were starting with a blank canvas. My colourist, who has become a good friend over the last 15 years or so, put a lot of thought into what she wanted to do. My hair natural hair colour has changed, post-COVID, like from light brown to ash brown. And there's some grey - not as much as I thought was under there actually. So, at her suggestion, we didn't do a base colour. Instead, she did subtle highlights and low lights - and the highlights give the grey that remains more of a blonde tone. It looks really good! And the cut, of course, looks fantastic, keeping the length and curl (another post-COVID effect - my hair was never had curl) but giving it balance and shape. I am so pleased.

All of this is just to say: there's a lot you can do with your hair at any age, if you choose to do it.

You can always tell.

What’s ludicrous is when they go for broke and just use shoe polish. Or India Ink. Or Sharpies.

Like Roger Stone...

They’re not fooling anyone.

A hairstylist who really specializes in color is really the way to go.

I only support it for men in the job market. There is still age discrimination that goes on,. Anything you can do to give yourself a more youthful appearance, go for it! Then when you get a job, go gray again.

But, please, please, go to a professional to get it done.

R124 COVID made your hair curl?

I have listened to the DL peanut gallery and I get the message. While it was harsh, I am listening. What I am hearing is don't bother for natural. Either go all in or don't bother, just keep looking smoking hot and barely 29. Check, check and check! See you at the bars boys, taking all your cock!

You got it, R129. Before stepping to a gay bar, say to yourself, "I'm 54, but I look 29!" The confidence it gives will take the place of Just For Men.

R128, hair loss was just one of the long-term effects of COVID, for me at least. I did like a 30-page survey for the NHS last July when I entered post-COVID care and it was like debriefing after an alien abduction. I kept turning the pages and going, "....oh! THAT'S related to my COVID infection...?" It was very enlightening at the time. I think I mentioned I had digestive issues - where it was like I was "filling up" through out the day but nothing was being digested, really, no matter how little I ate, I was left feeling uncomfortably full. There were other repercussions on that as well, which I won't go into. Another was the effect it had on my eye sight - I HAD to get a new prescription about 5 - 6 weeks out of the hospital because I could no longer read or make out details (and I've been wearing glasses already for like decades). For me, a lot of what I was experiencing was difficult to discern from the effects of age, the stress/anxiety/inactivity of lockdown, etc. so I hadn't quite connected it. But yeah, all of my hair was falling out so I just had it all shaved off. Then I noticed within about 4 months that the regrowth was darker and naturally curly - I have always had fine, straight hair. A lot of it but fine. At the time, when I shared that with my friend, a colourist, she said, "That's what happens with people when they've had chemo." So that gives you some indication of what COVID can do to your body. The post-COVID care doctor described it to me last year by saying that, as we know, the body is system of biological clocks that usually all work in synch with each other, but COVID offsets all of those clocks and creates disunity in the way the body functions. I suppose with people who have serious underlying conditions, to even more devastating effects. There was a period of 4 - 5 months last year where the fatigue was so profound, I was borderline narcoleptic. I could've slept all night but then during the day, I'd be overcome with fatigue and have just enough time to lie down and get horizontal before falling asleep for like 9 hours during the day - I call it sleep but it was so involuntary that it was unpleasant and I had an awareness of it as well, that it was against my will. It almost felt like being held hostage. I was so relieved when that finally started to pass.

Aside from one checkup I need later in the year, after 13 - 14 months, I believe I am fully recovered now. Still have curly hair though. :)

Are these the notes for your Covid disability claim?

R131 are you a man or a woman or indeed a they?

Would this hair coloring be recommended for a friend who found his first gray pube? I could pass your thoughts on to him.

[quote]...first gray pube?

Just yank it out.

I did.. I mean, he did yank it out. He's worried there will be many more soon. Color or shave?

Trans getting ready for bottom surgery anytime now.

R136, please tell your... friend... not to shave. It's an awful look. Awful. And going down on shaved junk is a miserable experience. Unless it was shaved less than an hour ago, it's going to be stubbly. And prickly. It's like going down on a pin cushion or sand paper. The hair is much more accommodating.

And, again, it just looks awful when taken in the context of a male body with hair on it. This isolated bald patch, just where it shouldn't be. It will help for a number of years if... your friend... manscapes down to about an inch in length. Good luck.

(It's just one small aspect of an aging process that we are challenged to accept with grace. Which you might as well do, as it will not stop no matter how diligently you resist it.)
