The photo is another one from the display which is in our clubhouse. It has nothing to do with the discussion but isn't it just beautiful?
Recently, myLotter, @Snowy, mentioned dyeing her hair. When Vince’s hair first started to go grey, his regular hairdresser suggested he dye it. He couldn’t be bothered but she kept suggesting it time after time, until one day she said she’d done it.
He didn’t mention it to me. I thought it looked a bit different but thought I was imagining things. No-one noticed or said anything until the colour started to grow out. Then people kept saying how grey he was getting.

I am surprised that Vince let her colour his hair.
My husband went grey, but it came in so nicely, it seemed to suit him.
It was not salt and pepper for long, before it went completely grey, over the course of a summer, probably from the sun. And then it was less than a year before it was completely white.

She did it without his permission but he didn't really mind.

I'm just too lazy. Although I would love to know if people would treat me differently if I still had dark hair. Maybe I'll get a wig. After all if it's good enough for Nicole Kidman...
My Mum used to dye my Dad's hair. When you look at photos, he had greying hair when they were married but then black hair throughout my childhood. Then she thought it looked too harsh so she stopped, and people commented 'Your Dad's hair has gone grey very suddenly!'. I just agreed.

That is funny, no one noticed his dyed hair, but they noticed he was getting grey. My hair is grey and I do not dye. It grows so fast that I should cover the growth every week.

She must have done a really good job that the dye wasn't very noticeable and made him look completely different.

I guess I am of Vince's age if not older. My better half keeps on advising me I must dye my hair. She has brought quite many pouches of hair dye powder from her sisters. I have tried it and it seems to give satisfactory results.

That is a good one too.
It is interesting that people noticed when his grey was coming back in

Many people put dye in hair from youth. I dont know whether there are health ailments.

That's a lovely piece as well.
My husband never dyed his hair; but I did. The day I retired, I started letting it grow out.
