Any of the guys here dye their hair?
Growing my beard out for the winter and geebus is it gray! I was thinking about dyeing it, but don't want to look like Billy Mays after doing it.
If you've done it:

Dye jobs?
There are only two things you have to do in life. Find out what you want and do what it takes to get it.

just starting to get some gray and damn proud of it...so no, I will never dye my hair or beard
Yorkshireman I: Right! I had to get up in the morning, at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill and pay mill-owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our dad would kill us and dance about on our graves, singing Hallelujah!

I have my hair stylist put a little brown in once a month. I look totally young except for the gray hair so my wife (10 years younger than I am is cool with it brown.
My wisdom and wit make up for the gray hair lolJeff

Gray makes you look distinguished. Dying it looks fake and makes you look insecure.

I've had grey hair since my 20's. I used to try and dye it, but it was a royal hassle, and to be truthful, it didn't look very natural. I'm more grey now than anything else, but as long as I can keep what I've got, I don't much care what color it turns.

I dyed my facial hair a few times back when I used to wear a goatee.. it wasn't that it was grey, I would've not minded that. It was just that I have this rare condition where no matter what your head's hair color is, your facial hair [especially as it gets closer to the chin] comes out brownish red.
If you leave it in too long, it'll look pitch black and unnatural. I only did it a few times and then decided i'd rather just let it grow the way it was meant to grow... now I'm cleanshaven and havent had any facial hair for 2 years now.Sept of Baelor was an inside job.

I started going gray when I was twenty-one. At that time, people thought it looked cool; made me seem older, more mature.
At thirty, I was almost completely gray and tried dying it. Once. I ended up looking like the portrait in Dorian Gray--older face but REALLY young-looking--and fake-looking--hair. Not good.
After that, just let it stay gray. I earned these hairs!"Don't call me Miss Kitty. Just...don't."--Catnip. Check out the Catnip Trilogy on Amazon.com

what do the ladies think...that's what counts. If you're coloring it to impress them and they don't care, then what's the point?
