The grey dilemma

[slymyke]

Is it some hippy-dippy vegan thing to use henna and indigo instead of buying a box of Just for Men that takes a few minutes to apply?

Yeah, those chemicals are found in the products made as "hypoallergenic" alternatives.  The weird thing is they seem to have gallons of each in this videos.    With that much, I don't see why it takes so damn long to get a result...lol. 

 I tried a product called, "Wolfshead Beard Dye".  It seemed to wear off really quickly... like the same day.  Plus in their ads products with these ingredients are used on guys with about a week-long growth.  Big woop.  But I can't use JFM, I will break out in an ugly bright red bumpy rash that feels like my face will be scared for life.

My father-in-law almost died getting his hair dyed.  He's severely allergic to aloe and the dye that the salon used had aloe in it.  He got home and a few hours later his head had swollen in ways I didn't know was possible.  We rushed him to the emergency room where they were able to counteract the reaction.

That's scary.

Wow, I didn't realize people were allergic to aloe.  That's a tough one.

Razor, I would leave your beard/van dyke the color it is. I like the red and the grey on you. It looks great.

Thanks.  Fear not; I'm not planning on altering the color.

People can be allergic to virtually anything.

[sarcasm]That's exactly what this is.  God forbid someone actually buy a product created by the human mind through a c-c-c-corporation that's seeking p-p-p-profit by using advertising to force people to buy c-c-c-chemicals!  It makes much more sense to use a random collection of things from the outdoors because nothing in nature is made from chemicals and nature is always safe (Organic hemlock and daffodil salad anyone?), and then spend four and a half freaking hours for the process to complete so that both your skin and hair are dyed dark.[/sarcasm]

I can see this being an interesting experiment in a "hey look what I did" kind of way, but to use this as an ongoing means to dye hair is absolutely absurd.  The hair treatment process is long enough but I wonder how long it takes to gather these ingredients (ironically probably produced by a company), mix them together, and then clean them up?

I had a Henna tattoo put on at an amusement park years ago and it hardly worked at all.  Maybe it needed to be applied with plastic for 4 hours, but it was incredibly disappointing.

There is much research funded by Loreal to find a anti grey pill right now. One product is out already called Grey Defense. It seems to be an anti peroxide supplement of some sort. Other cosmetic companies are also racing for a pill based solution to reversing grey hair. Another product is called Getawaygrey as below:

Im curious to see if they work on chest hair as well...

I don't like the gray in my beard, but the gray on my chest hair is something I REALLY don't like.  It was one of those things I never really thought of before but I guess it was bound to go gray just like the rest.  I guess I just don't think much about it one way or another so I always assumed it would always look the same, but one day this summer I was doing housework and sanding drywall patches and got white dust on everything, looked in the mirror and thought it looked funny, and then a week later without drywall dust I noticed my chest hairs still had A LOT of white.  It was pretty disturbing.

What a Faf to do that daily

Ah grey on my chest hair is driving me mad! I was at the gym today and after was having a shave and it was so noticeable!

[Mr Jules]

Grey hair on the chest ? Shave it off please !!!

[mrzed]

What hair on the chest?  LOL.  Mine looks bald and not from shaving.

[TheSlyBear]

Meh... I could care less what color my hairs are. My chest hairs are a mix, as is my forearm hair.

I can't see my back so can't comment on that.
