Art_Critic Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I love my hair as it has aged.. It has given me a more distinguished look... I say leave it.. nothing worse than trying to look younger than you really are. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Emilia Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 No! You will have to keep touching up the roots as they start growing out after 2 weeks or so, it's a pain. It looks bad on women, completely unacceptable on men. Don't do it Link to post Share on other sites

I even see young men in their twenties with a lot of grey hair and it's a turn off. If you think that makes you look better and increases your confidence then do it. Link to post Share on other sites
denise_xo Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I personally like the salt and pepper look. But just do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites
Mme. Chaucer Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 It's fine for you to color your hair, if you really want to. It does take upkeep, and trying to "look young" can backfire. There is nothing unattractive about the salt and pepper thing, either. Link to post Share on other sites
gaius Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 At 35 I'd go for it, not sure you want the older look at that age. Save that for 45. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
maybealone Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I would only do it if the salt and pepper hair makes you look older than you are. Otherwise, I like the salt and pepper look, even on young guys. One of my exes was salt and pepper at 18. We dated in our mid-20s and I always loved his hair. Link to post Share on other sites
KathyM Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 You're too young for salt and pepper hair. Guys that are 50 might look good with that. You don't want to look older than you are at 35. Get one of the over-the-counter products and go for it. I know a lot of men that do, and it does make them look younger than they are. Link to post Share on other sites
nessaaa Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 don't do it. those chemicals are bad for you. Link to post Share on other sites
Anela Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 My dad used to colour his hair, and I've dyed mine a few times, because I just have too many white hairs for my liking, in my mid-thirties. Link to post Share on other sites
darkmoon Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 you can buy....wait for it....hair mascara, this is dye-on-a-stick that you dab in, handy for emergency grays, yes, dye it and see what happens, most dyes for gray stain the hair forever (look for the word permanent on the box) but hair mascara can be washed out you have a choice Link to post Share on other sites
LittlePrince Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Yes, you should and might I recommend this fine vintage of cherry kool-aid? Link to post Share on other sites
Anela Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Yes, you should and might I recommend this fine vintage of cherry kool-aid? Will it make him as dull-eyed and miserable-looking as the boy in your avatar? Link to post Share on other sites
LittlePrince Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Will it make him as dull-eyed and miserable-looking as the boy in your avatar? We can only hope. Women are like a moth to a flame when it comes to indifference. I can't remember if that is a boy or a girl. Link to post Share on other sites
FitChick Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 i love to run my fingers through thick, salt and pepper or silver hair on a man. Very sexy. Link to post Share on other sites
LittlePrince Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I like to run my toes through salt and pepper and pretend I'm at the beach. Link to post Share on other sites
Disenchantedly Yours Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I think you will find plenty of women that will like your hair as it is. Sadly, for women, when it comes to men, men are ready to kick women to the curb for looking older. Women aren't nearly as harsh. But, if you are really wondering what it woud look like colored, I say give it a shot. The worse that can happen is you don't like it but it still grows out. If you are really thinking about it, I say try it. But I don't think you have to worry about you not being attractive to women. Plenty of women like that. Link to post Share on other sites

luvinthesun Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I am a 35 years old man and just divorced. I have the salt and pepper look at 35 years old...should I color my hair? Sure... you can always let it grow in if u don't like... Link to post Share on other sites
mortensorchid Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 IF it makes you feel good about yourself, then do it. 35 is young to go grey, it may make you look older than you really are. How is your face? Do you have more wrinkles than the average person or is your skin smooth still? It is a total package look. Link to post Share on other sites
Emilia Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Who are you to say what's acceptable or not? I say go for it! Personally I wish more men colored their hair. I even see young men in their twenties with a lot of grey hair and it's a turn off. If you think that makes you look better and increases your confidence then do it. the OP asked for personal opinions! Who are you to say that it's acceptable for men to show outgrown roots?

Emilia Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I am a 35 years old man and just divorced. I have the salt and pepper look at 35 years old...should I color my hair? Artificially coloured hair never looks that natural. I know men of varying ages that tried to get rid of their grey hairs and usually regretted it. There is no guarantee that the shade will always be the one you want (often it isn't in fact), it requires a lot of upkeep, men don't usually colour their hair therefore your roots showing looks worse because it stands out more in the crowd. There is also the stigma of trying to look younger than your age, that goes for women and men. I'd say stay natural OP. A lot of ladies like silver foxes Link to post Share on other sites
