What do you use that works? I've accepted the fact that I'm not a 25 year old buck anymore, but goddamn this mountain of silver on top of my grape! :roll:
What the hell works to roll back some of the years of life as far as the color of my hair is concerned?
I had gastric bypass 5 years ago. During the weight loss I would say half my hair fell out. I got pretty bare up top. It all came back. WHITE. I turn 41 next year and am salt and pepper, with way more salt than I would like. I tried a couple things, but in the end unless you want to look like the old dude with jet black hair, or pay to have it done every month it is best to let it be.
The best thing I found was "Touch of Grey" in the brush in comb. It was easy enough. Problem was they number the dye, and black is say 40, and brown is 30. I need a 33-35 to look natural. The black made me look goth. The brown was not terrible, but when it faded it the gray turned redish and looked beyond silly. If your hair happens to match the available colors of the brush in stuff it is easy enough to do. And if you seal the brush, you can use it again. It really needs to be done every 2 weeks to keep it up.
I don't believe there are any medical things that can be done. Stress caused it, and once they are gray, there is no going back. I wish it would go pure gray, I could rock the Steve Martin look. And because I am too cheap to have someone else do it, I am stuck with gray.
Side note, they have 2 different brush in dyes I have seen. Just for men, and touch of gray. I believe they are made by the same company, but the touch of gray lasted much longer in my hair. Just fyi.
EDIT: I just looked it up, and they do sell Touch of Gray in more colors online. Wallyworld only had black or light brown. I might order the darker brown from Amazon just for giggles.
Einsteinish don't ya think?
and then continue if you feel like. A year down the line you will see a huge difference and your greying will be postponed.
