Whatever each individual chooses to do, as long as they don't try and claim it is natural if it obviously isn't. An ex-boss of mine used to experiment with different colours, presumably to try and get his original colour, but denied that he dyed it, despite it changing colour every few weeks.

I think if it is starting to go grey and no-one noticed a sudden change back to the original colour, it doesn't matter. If, on the other hand, he is already completely grey, go with the flow. Grey looks very distinguished!

- My half gray boyrfriend was loving my home hair dye jobs until I screwed it up and it turned red. Now he will never trust me again! Damn you, Garnier!!

- LOL! My 33 year old brother is mostly grey, but I cannot imagine him dying it (although he looks daggers at me if I try to joke about his hair!). My step-dad has been grey for a long time, and my Mum & I always tell him he looks great with grey hair! :)

Depends on the man and the age when his hair gets grey. I am 70 and have grey mixed in my hair with more grey on the sides. I am a light red haired guy and dying my hair isn't really a viable option.

People should do whatever it takes to make themselves feel better and not worry about being 'judged!

My hair is not only going grey there isn't much to comb anymore. To be honest one of my new years resolutions is to get the rest of it shaved off before it all falls out. Might as well beat it to the punch.

Nope, gray hair can look very good on men. It all depends on how you wear it!

Of course they should. Its their personal choice. It is no more undignified thatn losing weight and getting into shape. You wouldnt say that not giving in to "middle aged spread" is "undignified" would you? I dye my hair for a number of reasons, but the only important one is that it makes me feel better about myself and greying hair really doesnt look good on me at all.

Why not just shave the whole head. It looks a lot cooler that way.

I've been greying since I was 16 (now 26). It's still not much, but it's noticeable. Everyone that notices says it looks distinguished (who knows if they're just being nice). No one has ever said anything otherwise or led me to believe it's undesirable. If I were you, I'd leave it. Better to have gray hair than no hair. :)

Honestly, I've ALWAYS considered gray hair to be sexy... Even in high school! The older I get, the more I appreciate it... On other people of course. :)

I am 26 w/graying hair and I ask myself this question everyday. Though I feel only women should dye their hair, I just don't know.

I am growing some whites in at the temples and I shall never dye my hair, even if it goes completely white. I have earned each white hair.

It is each person's choice.

I do think it looks a bit silly when a person is old enough that it really stands out, but then, again it is everyone's personal decision.

Well alot of celebrities choose to keep their gray hair like George Clooney and Richard Gear, people see it as sexy or nice on some but not on others, i guess its just a matter of opinion, personaly i dont mind gray hair on some.
