Complaining about gray hair on a bald forum is a bit bold.
Gray hair isn’t in the same hemisphere as balding. Sometimes it even looks cool.
Still, it can be unsightly. Janks16, you can’t use Just for Men like shampoo exactly, cause your fingernails and hands will have dye all over them.
Many guys on here talk about shaving their head and then growing a beard, but if the beard has kinky, unsightly gray hairs in it, it’s not a good look. Women are lucky because they are expected to dye the hair on their head, and they don’t have beard hair to worry about aging them.
Despite all the bells and whistles of cosmetic surgery and anti aging this or that, simple hair dye is the magic bullet that extends the attractiveness of women (who otherwise take care of themselves) into their 40s.

It’s interesting because even just a cursory google search about men dying their hair pulls up tons of DON’T DO IT results.
Why should something that is basically de rigueur for women should be SOCIAL SUICIDE ZOMG for guys. Men and women experience greying hair, it’s interesting that the attitudes towards dying it are so disparate.
My own outlook is I wouldn't care one jot about going grey, I could dye it if I wanted and if I didn't it would not matter in the slightest. However, if I had a penny for every time someone told me going bald doesn't matter I'd be a moderately better off young man. My Grandfather started to bald in his teens and never really cared at all, he laughed it off by saying that 'grass doesn't grow on busy streets' and lived a long and happy life none the worse for having no hair.
My point is, what matters to individuals is entirely different, laughing at this guy for caring about going grey is fairly juvenile. Everyone likes to think if their looks change it will be for the better.
The difference is if you don't want grey hair the solution costs less than $10 and can be fixed in hours, while going bald or reversing balding is unfixable for a large number of people even on the strongest treatments
At 25 y.o, Im almost 40-50% grey hairs. Genetics. I would choose to be 80-100% grey in exchange for a Norwood-0.
Inking your hair each 3-4 weeks is a minor problem, way less problematic than using 3-4 hair loss products everyday, and still seeing your temples growing.
Theres many skin-hair friendly inks in the market that you acan use instead of those chemically agressive products. I use a special brand from pharmacy, and for 30e I have 5-6 bottles, almost half a year If I grow my hair longer, so roots are not that noticeable.
All I can say is, I'm in awe at the number of things that hair depends on, cell signaling, stem cells, genetic influence, etc.. And when you consider the number of factors, having great hair is like being able to walk into machine gun fire and not be touched by a single bullet. And here we are...
greying hair is almost as bad as going bald
