great hair, little gray, but my beard!

is nearly all gray. always been a function over form guy so I have never considered dying hair or anything like that. Keep a full a full beard and have for years, but it's looking more and more like ol st.nic's... I'm 56 and need to blend it over a few weeks so I don't look like I'm trying too hard...

What do I need to do to start getting my chin fir more chestnut brown?

Well since I have turned 77 was okay with my hair and beard turning grey and even white if necessary. But since I have been getting this imunotherapy medicine my beard and some of the hair on my head has turned from light gray back to reddish blond as it was about 5 or 6 years ago? My oncologist, family doctor and the cancer surgeon all figure it is a side effect of the "Libtayo".

I’d trade your gray beard for the super thin hair on my head.

I never cared at all if my hair turned grey, I just do not want it to turn loose!

You must be single if it took all the way to 56 for it to start going grey.....

I had a two-car garage by the time I was 38, and I got tired of joking that it was from "too many U-turns under the sheets", so I began shaving my head.

I've never looked back, and truthfully now I can't even stand to go more than two days without a fresh shave. It feels good, it's easy, and it saves time.

I've had a beard on and off for years; currently on, and it's 99% gray. I keep it close to face--a #2 guard keeps it short enough.

It's funny--most of our friends have only known me this way, so when I show them pictures of me in 1978 at 16 years-old, looking like some type of David Lee Roth wannabee, it's a bit of a shock.

I embrace my evolved style, and I think you will too ultimately.

When young, I was a blondie. Always wanted it lighter. Hey, I got there...

That's what I did. Will revisit when I am in my 60s and everything is likely grey by then.

Nope, you still see the grey. Did the Tony Stark beard until my chin started turning white. Shaved it all off.

My beard has always been more grey than my hair, since I was 40. Now beard is all grey, hair still mostly dark. I not going to dye it.

When people tell me to shave or cut my hair, I tell them to call me "Dilligas"
