I actually kind of like the look and am proud of my grey hair. I'm going grey at the temples like Stan Lee, Mr. Fantastic (Fantastic Four) and J. Jonah Jameson (Spider-Man). My wife thinks I should use "Just For Men" or some other men's hair dye, but I think that's vanity and just want to let my hair go grey naturally. What do you think I should do?

I've found that most of the just for men stuff tends to look very fake and awkward...I used to think that grey hair ought to be dyed and nagged my dad into using it...it looked terrible and was so obvious. Keep the grey, it makes men look distinguished!
p.s. I love that all your grey role models are comic book characters! <3

I think it looks pretty natural on guys...the grey at the temples. But since your not like 60 years old I think you could pass the look of no grey hair and still look pretty natural. I think you and your wife are both right. I say Dye your hair with the Just For Men...besides if you don't like it it'll grow out anyway.

I am 43, my hair too started greying at the age of 39. My wife forced me to dye and today all my hair has turned grey. not only this ,i have severe dandruff problem as the skin of my head is effected by the chemicals of the dye. I have stopped dying and my staff members say i look much better and natural without that.
If you really cannot avoid then go for a patch test of your skin as it differs from men to men . secondly ask your friends and relatives who can see you whether you will look better with a dye or without it. I feel at 43 few greyhair gives a better and normal look that whole brown or black artificial colored .

Why does your wife want you to dye your hair? Does she find your grey embarrassing? Not that that is really your problem if she does (she should love you and be proud of you no matter what color your hair is if you have a good relationship otherwise), but if it is going to affect your relationship you may have to consider which is more important, your pride in your grey, or your relationship with your wife.
Of course, on the flip side of that, she should take into account your feelings about dying your hair in regards to vanity. While it seems like such a little thing, you two should probably discuss it in depth so that you both clearly understand how and why the other feels as they do.

Some men do look very distinguished with grey hair . A touch of grey at the temples on a 42 year old man is sexy. Keep your hair nicely cut and combed. You will look just fine. Now if she is talking divorce that is anothe story. Go bald. That is even sexier. (:

I know many people that think a little grey shows a sign of maturity and it actually very attractive. However, it is YOUR hair and so you should decide what to do with it. Also, I have noticed that most men who dye their hair at home tend to end up with a fake looking job. Therefore, I suggest that if you do dye it, go to a salon and get it professionally done!!

There is a condition where you have some grey hair. A girl I know has a grey chunk of hair. If you have seen the show what not to wear of TLC, stacey london, the lady on the show, has a grey part in her hair she has had since she was a young girl.

If you're comfortable with the grey, then I say let it go grey naturally. Lots of men look great with a bit of grey in their hair, especially if their original color is dark.

I know more and more men are dying their hair these days. It's not just for women any more.
Whatever I think doesn't matter too much because it's not me you have to live with.
Compromise maybe: Tell your bride you'll do it one time just for the two of you to see how it looks. But go to a men's salon and have it done right. Maybe for her birthday. Surprise her! Ha!
Be comfortable.

No, the grey hair at the temples makes you look sophisticated. Look at George Clooney. He wouldn't dream of dying his hair and neither should you.
