Potential treatment for gray hair

You have a head full of hair at 52 and you think there's a problem? Just start coloring it if it bothers you too much, but make it look natural.

Stop being a fucking woman and let your hair be what it is.
Ypu, you just gotta embrace it!

And we even have a mascot!

Dude, don't be a nagging nancy and embrace it. At least you're not bald. And with a good barber the grey may give you +10 in looks.

I myself am 35, longer hair and i start rocking the X-Men Rogue strands of grey.
Grey is wisdom, bitches love wisdom. So grey is dope

My missus dyed my hair once as I'm grey as fook. We thought it'd be a laugh. Went to work the next day.. it was worse than when I shaved my head during lock down

Never tried that again.

Constant piss takes.

If you only have 10-20% grey I recommend trying Brylcreem, the real white stuff not gel / wax crap. It holds your style all day, is soft to touch and leaves no bits of shit in your hair when it dries, it also turns my greying brown hair very dark / almost black hiding all the grey for the whole day. Yes it is your grandfather's product but nothing comes close.

I'm thinking about pre-emptive treatment for hair loss that hasn't occurred yet. I said the same thing in an old thread but got sidetracked lol. Thankfully I didn't start balding in the interim time, but I did score a few more greys! Is there anything that "generally helps" to either do, or avoid? You know, like nutrition and shit, or types of chemicals in shampoo to keep TF away from your scalp. I'd prefer to suck it up than buy Rogaine if it started happening, some due diligence to prevent that can't hurt.

Honestly, just embrace it. My beard has the same amount of gray yours does. Luckily I'm only going gray on my side burn as far as hair on my head goes.

I would be thrilled to have hair, gray or not. Mine started falling out at 21, I should have started shaving my head at around 26 but I was in denial. I grew a beard and started shaving my head at 33.
Basically same. Started losing it at 17. Gave me mad social anxiety for a few years until I was about 24 and decided fuck this, got my partner to wet shave it and never looked back. Was an enormous weight off the shoulders, and now I couldn't give a shit about being bald, I'm just used to it.

This is exactly the same argument used by pitiful men with small patches of hair that is falling out in the time they are 40. Nothing wrong in improving your appearance if it makes you happy.

Improving your health is the only thing you should be doing. Physical and mental health are the only things that matter for an individual. Those two things alone will change your appearance, physically, in far better ways than paying some doc to graft you a new hairline.

Improving your appearance is not hiding away from your own genes like some sort of self-loathing maniac. Where does it end?

I don't think I look too bad for 52. My mental health has been improving since I divorced

Last time I had to renew my drivers license, must have been three years ago, I would've been 52 or so. I was honestly not sure what to put for my hair color, I had a lot of gray, but I still had plenty of color left too. A DMV employee was kind of patrolling around where I was and he could tell I was agonizing over some decision and he said, "Anything I can help with?" I said, "I'm trying to decide what to put for hair color." He looked at me and had this expression like, "Ah I totally see what you mean, I got you fam." He says, "Gray, or white." Motherfucker, the choice was gray or BROWN!
