Gray hair on guys and women that control us
64I have reached the age where as my hair is graying. I am now on the other side of 55 years old. well I am a bit further than that. On am in the middle of the way to the next big sad birthday where as others tell you oh its a number thing. Um yea It is well it is a lot of damn numbers. It doesn't matter to me at all but my wife does not like it the gray hair.
You know I have reached the age where I do forget things and yes my back seems to hurt all the time and yes I need reading glasses and yes my hair is turning gray. I tell her it is life. This is merely another tiny step you go through. I can accept it. It isn't a big deal.
Well,
I submitted to a few shampoos of dyeing my hair and well there is something weird about one day having gray hair and then next having dark brown hair. I have sat on a chair in the bathroom and my wife wearing plastic gloves rubbing some type of toxic liquid through the remaining hair I have. Soon after the brown liquid is on my head the stinging begins.
There is something odd about the person helping you dye your hair wearing plastic gloves.
The stinging is punishment for letting her do this to me. The liquids are merged and I sit calmly for some period of time and the dye stains my hair brown. It also stains my neck and clothes so it is best if you submit to this to sit calmly on a chair naked with a towel over your lap.
Once the ten minutes or so has past then you are allowed to shower and rinse using a bottle of some type of toxic liquid that came with the dye.
This method of staining my hair went on for a few years then I finally just refused the torture.
I saw an ad for Grecian Formula. The pure sap showed his head of gray hair then a little of the whitish liquid everyday for a month then once a week from there on.
On the Grecian Formula web site is states that this liquid is made of a protein containing a natural coloring substance called melanin. The articles continues and as you get older this vitamin goes away as life goes on. One bottle for all hair colors. Black, brown, red, blond and bald is all the same little bottle of the whitish liquid.
Well I'll give this a try and if she likes it I'll go for it. Drifting around at Walmart I found the shelf where the Grecian Formula resides. Yes it is very close to the hair dye section. I grab the small bottle and slip on my glasses and read the label. I buy the little plastic bottle of the one bottle for all hair colors and go home with the big surprise for my wife.
She takes it from me and reads it and says alright everyday for one month then once a week from there on. I agree to putting the liquid as the instructions state everyday for a month then once a week from there on.
I begin the process once I am toweled dry after a shower I pour a tad bit of this liquid in a little puddle in my hand and spread it through my hair. I then leave for the day. In a week my wife inspects my hair and sees no results as of yet but we have another three weeks to go i say. She has bought a bottle of no sting brown hair dye and it is sitting in the closet in the bathroom.
The next week everyday I do the same to my hair. The next week I forget then according to the instructions you must start over. Great I will try my best to do this everyday for a month.
Three weeks pass and she begins to notice my hair color is browning. Over the next week my gray hair is going away and it is actually getting brown. Not a dyed brown but my natural brown hair. Yes the parts of my skull where they're is no hair is still cover with only skin. I continue to use the magic liquid and my hair after a month is brown. It is really brown.
I get a hair cut and my hair is still brown. It actually helps keep it brown if it is shorter in length so i get my hair cut as ofter as she instructs me. I continue to use Grecian Formula.
Now once a week is actually tougher then everyday as it works out. My hair begins to gray and I tell my lovely wife that if we had two bottles one in the bathroom and maybe one in the kitchen if I forget when I see it I'll use it. The perfect solution to the problem and surprise a second bottle appears on the counter.
Damn no excuses anymore. I use the liquid everyday and one bottle last a few months. I'm not sure but I do know she has two bottles of Grecian Formula in the bathroom closet.
My hair is brown and I did not have to go through the stinging or torture in the bathroom like before. It ends up that I use it a few times a week and she is happy with it. The bottle isn't that expensive at Walmart. I think it is about $7 or so dollars a bottle. At the local grocery store it is about $9 to $12.00 dollars. I haven't see a bigger bottle so it is what it is.
Yes it works just fine and yes I use it everyday and have for the past three years. One thing it doesn't work on is course hair such as mustaches or beards. I'll have to just continue using my wife's little eye liner brush for my mustache.
Thank you,

I think it took me fifteen years to grow it. I am 56 years old and have no Sideburns. So I'll leave that you for they suggestion.
I'm 50 years old and have salt and pepper hair. I refuse to color my hair. I like my look and I get treated with respect often. Enjoy each stage of your life. Tomorrow isn't coming back and live for now and a little bit of the future. If you have problems with your grey hair or life, talk to someone with wisdom and experience that you trust. Life can be great no matter what if you learn to focus on the good times and deal with the bad. No one can make you feel bad about yourself or life without your permission.
I noticed as my hair grayed people were nicer to me. Holding doors and just helping me. it used to make me mad but now I like it. My hair is brown and they are still doing it for me. It may because I look older yet my hair is brown or people could be getting nicer. Not sure which it is. I am 57 years old.
By the way according to the web it can be either gray or grey but it is not white.

You should shave the mustache off, it's not the eighties anymore.
