Let's be honest, we all have some level of vanity. Why look 70 in your 50s if you don't have to. Plus there are practical reasons, age discrimination can be a factor in work and personal life. If you're like me, your hair is more salt than pepper and getting more so every year. Just for Men Touch of Gray brings back the "pepper" without turning your hair jet black (which looks really fake once you're over 45 years old IMO). I've been using this stuff for years.
If you decide to try it, here are a couple of tips:
- Plan to wear a full zipper top or no top during the process. If you try pulling a shirt over your head while the dye is working it will likely get stained.
- Use some Vaseline on the skin all around your hairline and ears to prevent staining your skin.
- Wear the provided gloves, again to prevent staining of your hands.
- Make sure to work the dye in really well everywhere, especially making sure the back of your head gets saturated.
- Ignore the short wait time in the instructions, you need to leave the dye in for 20-30 minutes to get a good effect. Don't worry, it will not turn your hair jet black, even if you leave it in too long.
- After the wait process, I don't wash out the dye, initially I just rinse it out in the shower and wash my hair next time. I think this helps the dye to set better.
- I have relatively short hair and can get 2 applications out of one tube. Just make sure to cap the tube tightly with no air at the top. Air activates the dye. Also rinse out the applicator comb so it can be used a 2nd time.
- An application lasts me about 4 weeks as the color fades. I apply right after getting a haircut. If you're sensitive to people noticing, this is a more discreet way of making the change with the haircut as a diversion.
If you don't mind your whitening hair, more power to you. But if not, this is definitely worth a try.
