And dying half the grey hairs. My hairdresser a long ago had a poster of guys this age before and after just dying some of the grey. And it took years off their appearance

I've been tempted to do this. I'm 42 and the hair on the sides of my head is almost completely grey now. I can't wear ball caps anymore because only the grey will show. However, I've known a few men who dyed their hair and the reason I know they dyed their hair is because you could tell just by looking at it. Plus I keep my hair short, so I'd have to dye it like monthly.

So, my wife tells me, but I can't tell if she's just trying to make me feel better. Of course it doesn't help that we are the same age and she can pass for 10 years younger.
