Male grey hair - how to reduce?

Try Googling 'sexy men with grey hair". Lots to choose from eg Richard Gere, George Clooney. Millions of women can't be wrong :rotfl:
Don't worry about covering the grey, it will look better if you don't

Being film stars and being wealthy is the big attraction and not the grey hair! The same does not work for the average guy in the street unless you happen to be loaded with cash and then grey hair is a little less important.

After all ageing, ie grey hair, means reduced physical function and health which are important considerations.

Massage a coconut oil into your scalp and hair. This will enrich it with moisture and lauric acid, both of which strengthen and soften your strands, and antioxidants, which go a long way towards preventing greys.But personally, I find grey haired men attractive, really.

You can buy pomades which gently colour your hair - depending on your style (would probably need to be slightly more slicked back or spiked) this could help.

My brother-in-law uses coffee to dye his hair and it works very well

best remedy for grey hair is coconut oil and curry leaves. These are used together . They are mixed together and applied for 15-20 minutes to get the best results.
A nice haircut can also be the solution of this problem, that will somehow help not to attain the attention of people on your hair.

No one has mentioned Grecian 2000 or similar products ...

I tried it when I saw the first few grey hairs coming through, but didn't think it really worked so eventually gave on it.

Can you expand on that? I tried black tea for a month but it didn't do anything. Does coffee dye more than tea?

Much as I hate the double standards (none of my female friends would dream of not covering up their grey hair) I don't like seeing men with dyed hair, it always looks flat, false and the colours are always slightly odd...think Paul McCartney and his aubergine locks!

There's nothing wrong with having grey hair in your forties. As you get older, your skin tone changes so lighter colour hair tends to look better anyway, that's why many women dye their hair a lighter colour than their original, natural colour (me included, although I don't have much grey, dark hair makes me look even older than my 51 years)

As you say, your hair only goes grey gradually, so go with the flow and let it grow in naturally. Women really don't care about grey hair on men so count yourself lucky that you don't have to go through the six-weekly ritual of having coloured, foul-smelling gunk plastered on your head for half an hour.

I really don't think that taking Chinese medicine will alter this, grey hair is due to lack of melanin as you get older (usually) so if the Chinese, or anyone else, had found a way to reverse this, I'm sure someone, somewhere would be making a fortune out of it. Asian people tend to go grey much later than Caucasian people, it's not surprising that older Chinese women/men will have less grey than Caucasians. That's just genetics....
