I'm in the same boat too, and it's been going on since my late 20's. I use Nice and Easy 120.

None of their business. Whatever makes you feel confident is exactly what you should be doing. Tell them to go piss up a rope *lol*.
But of course people are gonna ask questions. Everyone's a little nosy, and it's a curiosity to some people when men dye their hair (or for that matter, when anything about someone's appearance changes.) When your best buddy comes back from a vacation sporting a tan, gets a noticeably different haircut, or starts wearing Hawaiian shirts every day, you comment on it, don't you? Same thing.
Hey, by the way... most women I know (including myself) think gray hair is sexy... or at the very worst it makes no difference to them...
Look on the bright side: better gray than bald, no? hehehe

Hey there's nothing wrong with you dying your hair if you want to.
If people are commenting on it often..it's probably because you cannot get a good dye job with "just for men". The tones of color offered are too generic..you need to have it professionally done or buy the dye that is marketed towards the ladies. If you do this you will be able to find a more natural looking color that will not scream "I'M GREY AND I DYE MY HAIR".
If you can't afford salon dyed hair try your local beauty college it is alot cheaper and you can ask for a student with more experience!!!

I think your friends are in-sensitive u wait until they start going grey!! I think you should try using some of the womens products on your hair like nice and easy or something I think it gives you more effect that lasts and is not so obvious that everyone will notice as you have more choice in colours etc,
anyway sometimes a bit of salt and pepper looks good but don't worry I understand your fears after all your only 34!!!

My hubby was really grey when we met and he was only 27 at the time. I am now 35 and going grey very rapidly and dying it like mad at the hairdresser to disguise it. Men tend to look fairly handsome when they are going grey for some reason whereas I just look tired and haggard. If you are happier dying it then do so. There will come a time and age - hopefully at least 20 years from now when you have to stop - don't go too dark though as it can look really obvious - and redder tones are more flattering to the complexion as we get older

first of all stop worrying a lot of ladies like the grey look the salt and pepper look i for 1 find it very sexy so stop the just for men and let it go grey naturally as people know anyway when u dye it if thats not acceptable shave it off completley as a lot of women like the bald look too ie grant michell ;-) good luck sexy never seen u but i have an image in my head ;-)

I started going grey at 16! At first I thought it was quite cool, but I didn't go grey evenly; I ended up with an almost pure white patch on top, and got fed up with people asking if I'd been decorating or walking near seagulls! So it was 'Just for men' from then on!

I started going grey at 26,being a woman I naturally started dyeing my hair and did'nt get any remarks made about it,maybe it's because you are male your friends are taking the mickey,you do what you want,it's your hair and no one else's business

im really lucky at 37 i dont have any,but a girl i was at school with had really black hair and started going grey when she was 14,her dad was exactly the same it is supposed to heredetry so i suppose you should just keep using just for men.

You know,there's an old saying that goes,'When there's snow on the roof,there's a fire down below!' My personal opinion is that grey hair is very sexy!! But it's your feelings on the subject that matter-so I would suggest using women's hair colourings as they are kinder,can be multi-tonal (hence look more natural),and condition your hair nicely.

It may seem like a big deal to you, but to others i really dont think its gonna make one jot of difference if you are going grey or not. Personally i think it makes a man look distinguished. If you keep colouring your hair, you will always have to keep it up becuase you are going to continue to go grey and im sure you dont want to look like David Guest when you are 50-ish! Grow older gracefully. its far more attractive. I know you may not like it, but its gonna happen regardless.
And dont let anyone poke fun at you. They are only pointing it out because one day they know its gonna happen to them.
My mother in law is in her early 50's but went grey when she was 18. she coloured her hair for years, but she looks far better with it natural!
be proud of who you are xxx
