Have just had a shower and had to pluck out 3 grey hairs Shock
Can you buy dye for those bits or do I carry on plucking???

i was thinking this the other day when i was having a biopsy done.

i had a silent chuckle thinking about the gynaecologist(sp) rootling through electric pink hairGrin

oohh shouldn't have plucked them. What's the saying? Pull it out and 7 more will come to it's funeral.

Surely if you start dyeing it you'll either:

a) lose more time in the bathroom
b) end up with a badger stripe as it grows out between dyes. Or a 'rinse' look if you use a semi.

oh but a Mrs Slocombe (are you being served)rinse might look nice...

Asteria · 19/11/2010 18:34

I think that the "Badger in your pants" is a winning look.

Tidey · 19/11/2010 18:37

Dye it purple and style it into a mohican.

BreconBeBuggered · 19/11/2010 18:43

Will the dye not taste a bit weird?

saorachd · 19/11/2010 18:44

Don't do it green

It looks like gangrene has set in.

FrameyMcFrame · 19/11/2010 18:47

I have a friend who dyes her redbush brown Grin

ROFL Brecon!

What if he's allergic? Try explaining that at work!

SuePurblybiltByElves · 19/11/2010 18:58

I'd give it a bash. Just don't use the washin-washout ones (Shaders? Do they still make them?). That'd be hard to explain at the pool.

It's a pubic wig.

mrsbigw · 19/11/2010 19:33

get a hollywood wax

HalfTermHero · 19/11/2010 19:39

What about a Vajazzle?

LynetteScavo · 19/11/2010 19:45

Oh my, I have learned a lot tonight.

When I was much younger, a friend did work experience in an old peoples home, and she would never tell us if pubes went grey or not. We concluded they didn't. Shit.

I think I may just have a Brazilian when I go grey down there.

brass · 19/11/2010 19:45

picturing you vintage

brass · 19/11/2010 19:47

Lynette when did you last walk past a salon and see a queue of ahem senior ladies?

Doesn't happen. I think they cultivate

brass · 19/11/2010 19:49

unless you DIY but how many old dears do you know can assume the position with all those brittle bones?

ElectricSoftParade · 19/11/2010 20:02

I convince myself I am a vibrant and youthful(ish) woman. Then I strip and see my bush sprouting grey hairs by the minute and weep. Just don't fancy dying my hair down there, what I were allergic?! Will embrace my elderly parts I think Smile

brass · 19/11/2010 20:06

I think as long as it's neat it's fine. I mean I can't imagine any loverboy being less grey so it won't be out of place (unless you're a really hot OAP!)
