I consider a full head of hair (if anything, it grows too quickly) at 52 one of my top cash-ins in the genetic lottery. Don't much care what colour it is.
Me too squire, full head on the big head and still a gorgeous strawberry blond(wink).
Last week I sat in the barber's chair after a young man had been shorn of his lovely long black hair and imagined that it was mine. "Mmmmmm look at my lush locks ladies...and while you're down there..."
...then the lumps of grey fell onto my lap. *POP*.
Guy in my office been doing it for years and recently got married, decided after that 'fck it' and let the silver fox shine. Since then, it;s universally agreed he looks a million times better for it. He says it's also started to open up a whole new avenue of female 'milfy' admirers...
During the early 80's I bleached my hair every week so I could die my punk 'do a different colour (although eventually goth black won out). It may be a coincidence, but in my early 20's "bald patch" and "widows peak" paid me a visit and never left. Cue a grade 2 all over...
Now in my 50's, if it gets past a grade 4 it starts looking seriously white at the sides. So I've been wondering if something like JFM would do the trick without looking really obvious. But of course my missus, or my three sons, being the evil gits that they are, would take every opportunity to point out, to anybody who listened, what I'd done.

I was into the barber yesterday morning to get the ears lowered and had the sly old look down at the thatch falling from the roof onto my cape. "Not too bad" I thought, but then started to notice a shiny gleam here and there. "Must be the lighting" I reasoned. Damn barber lighting...
"The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference."
Does a grade zero (yep, that's right) count as a haircut or a shave?
Side note: when I was but a student, I had a huge barnet in the style of Morrissey. When I went to get a crew cut, the barber says 'what number?' With nary a quaver in my voice, I replied 'Number 2 all over'. He smirks and says 'Are you sure?' I replied that I was, at which point he shaved a line straight down the middle of my head, making the oft-whispered but seldom seen 'Hehmocan'. 'Are you still sure?' he asks again...
Side side note: just remembered. This happened in Crewe. Co-incidence? I THINK NOT - WAKE UP PEOPLE! THIS IS HAPPENING!

You've got pubes on your hand? Well, that needs sorting.
Never dye your hair and NEVER even contemplate wearing a syrup.
You're falling no-one but yourself if you go down that road. Desperate behaviour.
Many years ago, my cricket club held its annual dinner and it was quite a posh and formal affair. Some local dignitary turned up and was wearing an ill-fitting wig. As the evening wore on, some of the, shall we say, more "boisterious" cricketers took it upon themselves to scurry past the back of his chair letting out loud staccato cries of "Syrup!"
So, be warned!
I myself have been a grizzled old grey s0d for years. No JFM for me. One of my proudest moments of my latter years was when someone described my current hair colour as "steel". How sweet of them.
My latest follicular indignity is the way white (being honest here) hairs are now invading my eyebrows. The shame...

I used to work with this American fellah who was know universally as "Syrup".
He'd compensated for his hair loss by growing a big old moustache and slapping a wig on. But his stubble, tache and sideys were speckled with grey.
Eventually he shaved off the moustache and ditched the syrup and suddenly we Brits could have a conversation without getting distracted by all the hair stuff.
Or someone fitting "syrup" into the conversation. Usually at some point in a serious discussion where you COULDN'T laugh.....
I have been bald since I was 31 Disco and I am the same age as you so you have had a good run for your money just having a barnet regardless of the colour.
I have been growing a beard for the past two months and it is about 20 different colours of black, brown, red, ginger, grey, white and at this stage I could not care - it's hair and its growing!!!!
Dont you listen to em DD mate. Wear your syrup/ dye with pride mate. It shows discipline and pride to go through later life with a comb over / syrup/ die job.. Everytime you get a tinge of ''WTF is it all worth it'' just bury that feeling down deep..
Nah just joking my man..I'm actually shaving down to the bone now mate. Caine from Kung Fu stylie.. And lately just to jazz things up a bit Ive started to grow a goatee. My eldest ( who is a hairdresser btw) said 'get that thing off your face,you look like Heisenberg'. Worst thing she could've said .Thats me hooked baby.. Trouble is my goatee is so white that when I smile my teeth look yellow.. Just off to google '' beard dye'' if such a thing exists
