At least you can weave some dark hair.

Are you sure it's grey?

I thought the hair on old gingers normally turned white?

The hair on gingers and proper people turns white, they just look look grey against darker hair.

PAH!

I've had a beard since I was 40. It was mostly white from 50 onwards...

In the years before I retired, I had to do video conferences with my colleagues at other sites. Every time, it looked like I had a white paper bag over my head...

I would have counted loosing ginger hair as a positive not a negative

I am going asymetrically grey, left side has a fair crop int the sideburn/ear area, other side, about a quarter, have a box of just for men from my 40th that some smartarse bought me, may try that, however it needs to be realistic, anyone of a certain age with a standout feature is just asking for trouble. Had a guy come for interview, nice chap, very chatty, I went and got him, he had a fag whilst we waited for his slot, then another and went in, he was very craggy, proper chain smokers complection and greying hair, he looked old but when he opened his mouth it was like a Bee Gees tribute, imaculate, pearly white, perfect, almost American News Anchor style Newtons (look it up), it dawned on me he had had the lot replaced, it was an amazing job but rather like fitting brand new wheels on a banger, just looked out of place so any cosmetics need to be done sympathetically I think.

For gingers though, going grey, if you have got to 39 and resisted the temptation then you are obviosuly not that fussed biggrin

Only joking, I am a big fan of redheaded women, certain ones just transfix me, its like a multiplier on a pretty girl, but a ginger fanny, still a bit of a shock, though I dont know what I was expecting ?
