Nope. My hair is grey. Been that way for years that started when I was a teen with random white hairs showing up that just increased over time. Up until a few years ago, my beard was full red (oddly enough my hair on top of my head used to be brown). Now my beard is a mix of red and white/grey. I see no reason to dye either one.
Have a friend who had his hair turn solid white his senior year in high school started at the roots and grew out

I never got to see my beard's real color. I went clean shaven for so many years that when I finally grew a beard, most of it was grey. So I dye it. The stuff I use works pretty well, except that whiskers on my chin always turn light or even full-on grey quickly, so I have to touch them up. I even had to do so today after having done a full dye job. It was only a couple hours after the full dye job that the chin whiskers already looked lighter. So I did a touch-up of just that area, and now it's fine.

It makes me wonder if there's something better than this Just For Men Beard and Mustache stuff. Maybe someone here uses something better. Or maybe there's some kind of hack that I don't know to make sure that chin area gets a proper amount of color.

I'm not ready to accept a grey beard. I could of course just shave it off, but I've grown to like having a beard.
Embrace that grey beard as a sign of wisdom and experience. My beard was only grey for a couple of years before it turned white. There is no need for fighting Mother Nature. She will always win eventually.

If any of you guys want to "embrace your grey," all the more power to you. I don't want that. I never got to see my beard in its natural color, so I'm dying it now.

I'm doing better now. I make sure the dye stuff goes under the whiskers, not just on top of it, and it dyes better. Then in between that, I use their beard wash, which is designed to slowly turn your beard to its color. I find it makes the beard hold its color way better, meaning I don't have to dye it as often. Then I use their anti-grey shampoo because I was starting to get some grey at the temples. The heck with that. I never agreed to that.

I've zapped out all my grey, both in my beard and in my head of hair. I've decided to go with no grey for now. I was either going to get rid of all the grey, and keep leading my law-abiding life, or I was going to accept the grey with dignity, but start smuggling cocaine in from Columbia for big bucks. Respect my choice.

I don't have many demands from life, but here are mine:
1. No grey in my hair or in my beard.
2. I will continue to type two spaces at the end of a sentence.
3. I type up my documents in LibreOffice Writer and NOT in Microsoft Word.
4. I want mustard and no mayo on my sandwiches.
5. I drink black tea and NO coffee.

I don't think I'm asking for that much.
