I'm a 54 y/o guy, and my hair is about 50 percent grey, do you recommend a product to get rid of the grey? or do you think I should just let it be? I'm divorced, and I keep my hair short. Thanks for your opinion. Ron

There are hair dyes for men only, but if your hair is 50 percent grey, then it must look salt and pepper, which is very nice looking on a man. At 54, let it stay the way it is, I'm sure it looks great. I personally think grey on an older man is very nice. This is the opinion of a 57 year old woman. Good luck which ever you decide.

Ron:
I'm 58, but I don't have your problem. I have a full head of hair with very little gray mixed in. Honestly, my hair never meant much to me and it still doesn't but if still want my opinion, keep it trimmed, wash it and let everything else fall where it will. I have a mustache, have worn it for forty years and only cut off maybe 8-10 time. It is loaded with gray and I have no plans to color it. My beard is salt and pepper and so thin that it is embarrassing. I do keep it shaved as the comments from friends make me wonder about who's friends they actually are.
Seriously Ron, just be you, and if you want it colored, go for it. After all, it's your hair and your self image so do what makes you happy.
BTW isn't there some sort of a rinse you can apply and wash out later. If there is, you can have a look at the new you without ever leaving the house as the new you i.e. rinse the color in, look it over and if you like it keep it, and if not wash it out...

I know I'm not supposed to answer this, but maybe a mature woman's perspective can count anyway....
I have a good friend (51) who has about the same hair description, but with lots more grey around his temples.
He started using a product I believe was called 'Grecian Formula' which just changed his hair color mildly, a bit at a time, and it honestly did look much better. He looked five-ten years younger.
Depending on your grey pattern, a mild color change may be something worth trying. You can look at it this way: if you don't like it, it will simply grow out soon enough...its not like you will be stuck with it forever.
Good luck in your decision....

Ok, I'm just shy of 50 but my husband is. Now this applies to every age, you can buy just about anything to enhance every part of your body. You can even pretend to be differ net than you truly are. But one day you may not have the money to continue such up keep or grow tired of the hassle. Then you will have to show your true self to any new person you have worked so hard to impress! Why not just be yourself, Grey hair is sexy, just keep it groomed and clean. That's all you need to do.

most people i know find people with grey hair sexy and attractive... but if you really want to get rid of the grey, use a hair color that is not too dark, just enough to cover the grey... keeping your hair short can also make you look a lot younger.

Okay.. sorry, I'm not in the age group you asked for, but from a kid perspective - keep it gray! I like the way it looks. And roots, on men, would be a turn-off for me, I think. Good luck with all that!

some people look good grey, or you could try a blend of lowlites of your natural color which can be done at a salon. a mix would look more natural than hiding your grey completely.

Let it be. I'm 50, went though a divorce YEARS ago, and it ain't worth it. Too much hassle and if I didn't shave every day things looked REALLY weird. You are who you are.
