My wife has pink hair, stay jelly.

Real talk though, she's dyed her hair so much and bleached it so much that it's thinning out. I'm weighing the pros and cons of an "I told you so" moment. On the one hand, I'd die for the woman. On the other though, I rarely get a chance to be right, and I did warn her. Marriage is hard.

Completely missed the opportunity to say "I'd dye for the woman." Smdh.

It just looks extremely unnatural and weird, I wouldn’t be able to tell if someone has dyed to a natural color, but artificial colors like pink and blue just ruin someone’s attractiveness

And then I see green hair and I’m like “Why…”

Rojava Free State wrote:So I wanted to take a break from politics to discuss an issue more close to home and maybe less controversial (idk, this might actually start a fight) by talking about the subject of men who dye their hair. I myself have naturally dark brown hair, and often alternate between my natural hair color and dying my hair midnight black. I first dyed my hair at age 12 when I used hydrogen peroxide to go blonde for a few months, and first dyed my hair black at age 14. My hair is currently dark brown and has been since like January of this year, but in the next few days I'm going back to black once again.

While many men dye their hair not only blonde or black, but many other colors as well, it seems our culture only provides men with hair coloring products in the case of older gentlemen who are trying to hold back the grey. For younger men looking to actually change their hair color and not just add some highlights, we often have to go to the women's hair section and snatch up some Revlon (at least in my area it's that way. I have yet to see any dye products for men beyond the touch of grey shit being sold in any stores). So here's what I wanna know everybody. Do you agree or disagree with men changing their hair coloring? Do you engage in the practice? Do you think it's time for corporations to market hair color products akin to Revlon to men of all ages? And does it make sense for a man with dark brown hair to dye his hair black when it's already only a few shades from that anyways? Let me know your thoughts below

I haven't dyed my hair in 7 years. I get a few blonde highlights from exposure to sunlight, so I'm quite content with my natural hair color. I sure wish I could add more volume to my hair.

Yeah, he looks less "mobster" and more "bewildered grandpa" imo. To be fair, he does look less like a bewildered grandpa than his predecessor, good old Hatch.

He's a lot sharper than people give him credit for, but politics isn't his strong suit, and his run for senate in Utah was a pretty blatant power grab, and he basically blew his chance to the Republican elder statesman replacement to John McCain.

I have no doubt that he's good at business, it's just politics that he's bad at. Of course, Utah's gonna jump at any opportunity to elect a nationally known Republican Mormon to the Senate, so anybody with his profile would've been elected by a massive margin, even spineless political buffoons like him.

It's their hair, not mine. Therefore I can't agree nor disagree.

However as long as they use natural colors (blonde, black, red) and not weird colors (green, blue) I can like the idea.

I suggest to use three different, but similar, colors, to have the hair of three different, but similar each other, colors, properly distributed among your head.

There is nothing wrong with dying your hair, ive actually found died hair on women to be quite attractive at times but at the end of the day, you do you, i dont really care if you dye it or not, be you a man or a woman.

Its something for yourself and no one else, i personally wouldnt dye my hair, though i doubt ill have any left at the rate im going in five years.

It's not a matter of if its weird, it's a matter of if it is a red flag--which always ends up at "what does the rest of them/their outfit look like". Dyed hair on your regular fashionable Korean dude won't have me bat an eye, but if their hair is dyed bright red and they have the word "damaged" tattooed on their forehead, that's a different story.

Personally I'd advocate people use wigs instead of dye their hair so if they don't like it, all they have to do is take their wig off.

Only young people would care about hair coloring. When you hit my age, it’s either shave it off completely or buzz it close to the scalp. If you’re losing it, doesn’t really matter what color it is, right?
