Remember that grey hair is rarely attractive

It's expectation, but it is true, this guy didn't make it up, it's been around a long time and a lot of women buy into it.

Do we? Men don't. So if that's true, why?

That's kind of the point...

Well I mean most of us end up dying our hair so don’t know why he’s getting flamed for stating the obvious 🤷‍♀️

Thanks for the tip, TheCountessofFitzdotterel :)

I have grey hair (well actually silver), which suits me much better than the colours I dyed it when I was younger. And, Daniel Field, the colours I get most compliments when wearing are mustard and orange, so you can just fuck off with your patronising guff about colour analysis and how I should buy into your industries need to sell me unnecessary products

I'd take a bet this bloke will think he's attractive when he starts to go grey, despite having inappropriate colouring.

The only worthwhile women are young ones that men find shaggable.
It's not a new message from companies who want to sell their crap. I'm grey, hairy, un-made-up and not remotely interested in buying said crap. But guess what , non-barbie women can laid too if they want. Up yours Daniel.

IMO, Daniel is right to think grey hair is rarely attractive, but wrong to think we should necessarily give a shit. There's a lot more to life than being attractive to men.

I've been going grey since I was 16. My mum also went grey as a teenager and like her my greyness began as a streak up the middle. I hated that so dyed it in my 20s but once it extended round the sides ditched the dye with a huge sigh of relief. I guess I was about 33 then.

Worse than that, I have long grey hair, so am clearly hideous.

By the way, who is Daniel Field and why am I supposed to give a rat's arse what he thinks?

I saw this thread yesterday and thought it said “remember, grey hair is really attractive” and I though agreed! And moved on. So after a challenging morning I saw t again and said oh lovely ill read that..... oh. Rarely. I think my title was better.

Nonnymouse, I used a semi permanent blue dye a few years ago and it looked great on the grey bits. It didn't last long but then it wasn't meant to.

That is not how seasonal colour analysis works...

Grey hair is ‘compatible’ with any skin tone. A ‘neutral’ skin tone is one that is neither cool nor warm. Quick and dirty check is see whether you suit silver or gold, or if your veins look blue or green, if you’re pale. If neither, you may be neutral.

The only thing it might affect is if you’re high-contrast (ie pale skin, black hair) and your hair goes white or light grey, you may start to suit softer colours rather than bright primaries. It is impossible not to ‘suit’ the hair that naturally grows out of your head.

Misogynistic guff. Grey hair is great. I am proud of my greys, they are distinguished af.

I just googled this guy and don't think he's in any position to pass judgment on what's not attractive in others. People in glass houses etc....

That's so condescending and unnecessary. Absolutely grim attitude.

Grey hair can, of course, look beautiful but that isn't the point - the assumption that being attractive is one's purpose is so depressing.

Do funky colours like purple, blue and green stick to white / grey hair?
I read a number of years ago that most dyes like that don't coat white / grey hairs properly or don't come out as bright as they should.

I'm hoping I'm wrong and that I can dye my hair unicorn colours too in a few years. :)

I've got the correct skin tones and eye color to go grey (according to the ass hat), but I have reddy-brown hair so I'm not going grey I'm going white (and have been since I was 16). Wonder what he thinks of that?

I actually grew my hair (been coloring my a variety of colors since I was 16 and took a part time job at a hair salon, I'd actually forgotten what my natural was) out hoping to get that lovely salt & pepper look, but alas, now everyone assumes I've had expensive highlights done and ask where I got them. :(

I’ve had more compliments about my hair and looks in general since letting it go grey. It varies in streaks of white, silver and steel grey, and I’ve had it cut in a longish messy bob. It’s good to look nice as you get older. As others have said, I find it’s in better condition now with no products used. Daniel Field’s comments are bollocks.

My hair is grey, I love it.
So do other people, they tell me all the time.
I got married last week andmy delicious grey hair had roses nestling in it.
The daily mail can, as usual, fuck off, while I find my unadorned self good enough.

I have a five month old baby. Looking attractive is riiiiight at the bottom of my list of priorities, and I'm taking the opportunity of maternity leave to grow my dye out and go grey, because my hair is up all the time and the line won't show.

I'm excited to see how it looks! I love salt and pepper hair on others, and as my skin has started reacting to hair dye it's a much safer option, as well as saving me £££££.

I once had a girlfriend say to me - "Are you going to dye your hair black, after it turns ginger/grey after turning grey?

Andy one of the many wonderful things about being a ginger is we don’t go grey. Maybe white, or in my case just a few blonde strands. Like expensively subtle highlights, but for free . Put that in your pipe and smoke it Daniel Field.

If you're a straight woman who is single and looking for a partner, you want to be attractive to men. Unfortunately a lot of men seem to only want to date young women, so having grey hair is an instant put off. However, as another poster pointed out, these men tend to be shallow and do not make good partners, because who wants to be with a man who can't bare to see you ageing.

The thing I find interesting is the assumption that women should care if they're attractive.

I think this might just be one of those things that is true. A lot of people care about it. We try and increase those feelings, to sell stuff, but it might just be natural and there will always be many people who want to be attractive.

Arguably, undyed roots coming though looks rather worse. What have you got to say to that, hair dye peddler?

What I find more interesting is the idea that attraction from males can only be achieved by maintaining ridiculous beauty standards and manufactured youth.
I'm not married, I've been single for quite a while and eventually I would like to attract a partner, male or female, not on the look out but don't want to be alone forever, I'm only in my early 30s after all.
What I really want is for that person to be attracted to me, and love me, for more than how i look. I'm not unattractive looks wise, but there is much more to me than that.
I think me growing my grey hair is a symptom of that, I don't want a shallow man, grey hair is bound to weed some of them out.

I can't wait to go white. I shall dye my hair bright unicorn colours without having to bleach it first. It is going to be amazing.
