Gray hair or shaved head?

I am still quite young (at least I still feel young!) at only 36, but in the past couple of years I am turning gray quite quickly.

I am not going to dye my hair so is it time to shave it off? I am struggling to find a trendy haircut that looks good with gray hair.

If you have a head full of hair, then keep it, but find a stylist or barber who can make it look better.

Grey hair is cool. Keep it. Hardly anyone has the cranial architecture to look good with a shaved head, though many kid themselves that they do.

This. Unless you have a perfectly shaped head you will look better with grey hair than no hair.

Be happy you have a head full of hair. Keep it and live with the grey or dye it.

Grey hair makes people look wiser and more distinguished, expect raises and promotions.

But why are you opposed to dyeing it?

Heheh I'm 31 this year and probably over 50% gray. Even my stubble has a few grays in it.

No way I would shave my head - some of my mates are going bald so I'm glad to have the hair I'm stuck with.

Everyone who knows me knows I have gray hair - too late to dye it for vanity reasons. Besides, I reckon gray hair looks better.

A man who dyes his hair will look like a man with dyed hair

I know guys who dye their hair and no one knows it except for those they've admitted it to.

Hehe yep but with me I would have to do my facial hair if I ever decide to grow some and maybe even my eyebrows!

If I do it now, everyone who knows me will know.

Is it wrong I wanted to punch my mom in the throat for noting the gray in my beard? Probably. But at least my girlfriend thinks it's incredibly sexy...

Jesus son, I started greying in university and at 39 my eyebrows are still black as my heart.

That said, I dig the facial hair problem. I used to enjoy not shaving for a day or two but now it's a daily must because of the grey in my beard.

Keep the hair, but cut it short like George Clooney does.

I have really wiry hair and am receding in the front, so I pretty much have to shave it. If I could have a normal hairline and be gray, I'd be all over it.
