dying your facial hair

[kilroy69 1,251]

I know we have some other old guys in here. Have you ever dyed it?  I just tried some shampoo last week and I cannot get over the difference. At 48 I was mostly all silver in my beard while the hair on my head is still the normal brown it has been since I was 13. I used to laugh when I saw the Just for men commercials come on as a kid. Now here I am. I am not joking when I say this took 10 years or more off my face. Blends in really well and it only took 10 mins. My kid said "holy crap dad" when he saw me after doing it.

I dyed my pubes green for the Super Bowl.

No I own the gray.  I'm not some insecure teen.

I could probably benefit from this, but I see too many people daily that would notice. It feels like I'm further ahead just owning the white (not gray, went straight from black to white) in my beard than if I dyed it and acknowledged that it bothered me. Because honestly, it does not bother me that much.

I might consider doing it for a trip I'm taking later this year. How long does it last?

First time I have ever done it. I was talking to a buddy who is a year older than I am about the silver/white I have in my beard and joked how he seems to be holding up well. Turns out he has dyed his beard for the last 10 years. I just never knew.
