Now I'm growing up a bit, I have one question: leave 'em in or pull 'em out ?

I am 42, I have just got the one, on my right sideburn, I pluck it every few days. If I get a few more I shant bother, and my bald patch is growing, but I dont care. What I do object to are the few random thick black hairs that grow here & there. Two that sprout out of the top of my right ear, one on my left ear, and a few around my nipples. I pluck them too. I suppose eventually I will need one of these...



I HATE GETTING OLD!

Not that I have got anyone to look attractive for anyway, after 19 years of marriage who gives a shit.

Don't pull 'em out - it's a battle you can't win.

Or cut your hair shorter. Makes you look younger!

Why use 13 year olds on the package.

Long greying hair, greying beard (trimmed right, trimmed...OK)

Rob_F is Bill Bailey's love child!

I started to go grey at 18 and am getting greyer by the day (42 now) but at least I have a (very) full head of my own hair (and whatever beano500 tells you it is not blonde).
My dad who is nearly 70 has almost white hair so I have that to look forward to

I have a very few totally white hairs that my girlfriend notices occasionally. I insist she pulls them out. They are thicker than the brown/blond hairs. Quite disturbing. I'm 27 BTW.

Yeah, but you've had a hard life


I think it's all the alcohol, late nights, smokey clubs and exhausting women.

I can live with that

They're just as warm as the others

Be thankful you have any hair - I wake up every morning and glue mine back on. If you delve into your plug hole after a shower you can pin those runaways back on with special pins you can get if you ask an old fashioned barber - Something for the weekend sir? Yep, 200 'special' pins please. And a big tub of that KY jelly that warms up on contact please

I think I might have over reacted, I found a grey hair on my head about 18 months ago I now shave my head once a week.
Never pull them out apparantly they come back double.

Naah, leave em in, they look distinguished as long as your hair is well groomed. Let grey hair get out of control and you'll just look like a mad professor or a tramp

I'm a bit worried now.
When I was a kid I had hair like Shirley Temple. Then it turned brown, apart from one streak of blond down my right temple which lasted until I was about 13 ish.
Now that streak is reappearing as 'totally white' as someone also mentioned above.
So in a few years there'll be a 'Mallon' streak; or I'll look like a raccoon, or worse one of these ice-cream tops in a Rover!
Worse still it's not going anywhere. They say you inherit hair type from your mother's side. My mam has really thick hair and my grandad is has a silver 'Don King'.
Great

27 here and I've got greys... it all started when I shaved my head when I was 22 or so... every time I do, it comes back more grey... and I'm a bit of a slow learner, so it's fairly obvious now! Doesn't bother me in the least, except when a lass at the bar guesses 35 cause my buddies find it all terribly amusing... basds.

Now, whenever I cut it back down to it's 3/8" lenght, I give 'er some color. Yes, I dye my hair... :chuckle chuckle: Not often mind you.

Besides, if all you guys want to waste your testosterone making sure your hair stays black, go ahead... I've got bigger and better uses for mine...
