I have 3/4 of a head of naturally grey stubble. :Confused:

Its the hairs that are growing out of my ears and nose that are still brown!

Well I like bald, not necessarily totally and not really in women, but I think my hubby looks very sexy especially with a stubbly beard, trendy shirt and a nice sun tan.

My daughter has the most beautiful strawberry blonde hair but she insists it is ginger and has blond high-lites which I think is a great shame. I should be mouse / grey but will stay blonde for a few more years till I am sixty.

[HI]The one thing I really hate is the attempt at a bald coverup...... Just hate it, be bald and proud! [/HI]

I also love all Red hair think it is infinitely better than mouse.

So should I stop growing my hair at the back?

I was thinking of a comb over to meet the hair coming out of my ears.

What do they say?

If you've got it - flaunt it:thumb:

and bad comb-overs

yer going bald...get over it !

 

[Spenders]

Hair??

The state of my head hair is proof, if any were needed, that there is no such thing as natural justice!

My dear old Dad was quite grey by the time he was in his mid to late twenties, and totally white haired by the time he entered his fifties. I've seen the wedding pics of him with jet black hair at age 21 but I can't personally remember that dark a colour.

I've often been mistaken for him in my looks and the sound of my voice, and as a young fella I just assumed that my path was set.

I'm now constantly surprised and bemused however, as I approach fifty myself that apart from what some would say are 'distinguished' patches of grey at my temples, I'm not going bald or grey. This must be annoying for those that care about losing hair or going grey, which isn't me.... to me hair is just a nuisance and I'd happily lose it all! Only the presence of my little wife stops me from shaving the lot off!

I once used beard trimmers / clippers on husband .... to say I wasn't good at it is a massive understatement .... he was seriously shorn when I had finished ... Couldnt seem to fix the length of trim thingy!

We went to new posh neighbours for dinner and they really looked at him twice! One of the best laughs we have ever had!

more on pony tails.....

Only two kinds of older men can wear ponytails with dignity—eighteenth century blacksmiths, and Indians

The blacksmith from the 1700s tied his hair in a miniature ponytail as he pounds hot iron on his anvil. his hairdo is functional given the nature of his work and the shortage of barbers in his day.

Indians can also wear ponytails. One reason is, they don’t go bald. Their hair is thick and suitable to the ponytail

My wife [STRIKE]styles[/STRIKE] cuts mine.

Shirl cuts mine occasionally......then cuts it again two days later to try and hide the mess she made the first time.

I have cut my own hair for years with electric trimmers. I usually use quite a short comb, a few years ago I was cutting my hair ready for an important meeting at work. I was almost finished, just a quick zip up the middle of my head, but the comb fell off and I ended up with a reverse Mohican!
The meeting went well, my hairstyle is still talked about to this day

To have a pony tail? as a mid twenty year old, in the AGE of the PILL!!!, yes my friend THE PILL!!! meant you didn't pound Iron! far from it!! You didn't have to surround a Waggon train!!! far from it!!

It meant you went to sleep, Exhausted!!! but very! very! happy!!!!:thumb:

 

[Granjan]

That reminds me of a little incident years ago when we pretended to sue some friends for damage caused to my husbands back when he was "surfing" on their faulty ironing board, we sent a very official looking letter from our solicitors Messrs Scratchett, Sniffet, Suckett & See.

Shortly afterwards we received a telephone call from an Italian gentleman asking if he could come and see us as he was seeking a Uk agency to sell his equipment. The appointment was duly scheduled for April fools day! we were certain that our friends were setting us up so we dressed up in Italian colours and used kids face paints false Italian moustaches etc etc ... we never let on that we had rumbled them!

Imagine our horror when a smartly dressed Italian business man arrived at our door, we just didn't know where to put ourselves, we felt so stupid!:Blush:

Yeh - but did anyone "Bleached Blonde (salt spray and Tropical Sun) then grey!" ever look under 60? :Blush:

 

[JJ]

Doesn't bother me what men do to their hair.

I am very slightly bothered by people who are.

I'm having difficulty understanding this post. Explain.

Im sure you could do something with that beard.

I have had a pony tail since I was 18, I turned white an my 30's, now 66 and still have a pony tail and lots of white/blonde/grey hair, live with it.

 

[1_man_and_his_dob(lo)]

She`s just being nice

Ahh, I always thought that!

Then I met a MUCH younger woman than myself, now the thought of her having to walk down the street with a dad lookalike on her arm made me reach for the bottle
I look at it as if a old car comes in for rusty edges to be tidied up and coloured back to what it should look like

I'm not sure that's a great metaphor...at the end of the day, paint-job or not, everyone still knows it's an old banger
