I've just got out of the shower and have so many questions. When I was younger, a bit of soap and water was enough, but these days I find myself spending more time grooming. So I have 2 questions for everyone:

1) shaving Vs waxing for men, anyone tried waxing?

2) I've started to use alpacin grey attack, are the ladies bothered about men with grey hair? Am I being to vein, like lipstick on a pig?

Does it make you feel your best? If so, keep doing it.

I don't mind grey hair.

I use Veet for Men for under arms, chest, pubes and arse. I’m clean shaven too. Moisturise routine too. As for grey hair, I just let it go grey. Once it was mostly grey, I had it restyled so I didn’t look like I was trying too hard.

Tbh, it doesn't bother me, thought I'd try it, don't think it's made a blind bit of difference

All over

Most men these days groom more than used to. I do what feels right for me. Might not be for everyone but then that's quite alright. Looking your best is most important for you above anyone else imo.

What she said

Seriously though do what you want to do, look how you want to look. Groom how you want to groom.

I'd say embrace the grey, I have. But if that's not your vibe then do what is.

I can't say I spend more time with is, but as I've aged my style has evolved along with it. More of a beard than when I was younger, used to be stubble. So that takes more focus.

As for any other grooming area, I just trim. Now and again I get bored and do the torso hair. But that's not a frequent thing, just when I feel like changing it up for the shits and giggles.

Men who look after themselves are a lot more attractive than the ones who look like rough buggers, to my mind.

As long as they don't get too vain, that's just off-putting.

I've tried veet, didn't seem to work too well. I currently shave my armpits and groin, apart from that I'm a bit of a bear. Also had a beard for the last 5 years, feel it suits me better

I don’t mind a bit of grey hair at all and think a lot of men look better with age. You should follow whatever grooming routine that makes you feel your best OP 😊

I'm definitely more salt and pepper by the day, but don't think I'd ever dye it. The fear of looking like Berlusconi js greater than the fear of going grey.

But as others have said, if it's bothering you, go for it - nothing to lose by trying.

Grey hair on a man is fine. I think it's classed as distinguished. Grey hair on a woman however, is classed as letting themselves go 🤣

Brown hair, grey hair, no hair... None of that matters

A fresh out of the shower personality for the win.

(I'm actually partial to a bald head and greying beard )

You need Veet for Men cos it has a slightly different composition. Follow the instructions. Works well for me.

Beards are very popular these days so because I’m part of the Rebel Alliance, I wet shave smooth.

Serves you right for prancing about in the ladies section

Word of warning: first time I dropped a dollop down my leg and didn’t realise so when I rinsed it all off, I got a bald patch down one leg

You're not lipsticking a pig if you want to dye your hair, OP. Do what makes you feel comfortable.

Salt and pepper hair can be really attractive. What's more attractive is confidence in yourself.

There are probably guys who left it on their balls too long who are now in the ladies section.

I'm definitely salt and pepper, this stuff was supposed to slowly attack grey, but I haven't seen a change. £15 later, I think I'll stick with bog standard stuff in the future

I would agree that the salt and pepper look is very discerning and stylish, on you YOLO but also on most men — especially when the hair is cut and kempt but not unruly.

Moisturising is needed these days, I find. I also do ear and nose hair. For myself, it improves my self confidence a tad and it’s always nice to get a compliment.

If you want to keep it looking natural, just adding a little colour back into your hair, use a comb to apply it.

Get yourself a bottle of hylauronic acid (one from Ordinary isn’t pricey, and strong enough). It’ll do more for your skin than any moisturiser, your skin will thank you for it.

couple, us we him her.

Jools and I was having a conversation about something like this the other day.

My point was:

If anything bloke 50+ dyes his hair and it's noticed people are calling him a sad git going through a mid life crisis.....

If anything woman of the same age does the same no-one says anything unless it's all like " yeah damn,she's living her best life you go girl "

Op if you are greying embrace it and don't hide your experience.

I started going grey in my teens in patches my hair was fully white by 40.

I'm tempted to dyes it and my beard just to see the reactions I get

2) I've started to use alpacin grey attack, are the ladies bothered about men with grey hair? Am I being to vein, like lipstick on a pig?"

So I’ve been waxed a couple of times, it feels amazing, absolutely love it, but not practical to keep up for me, so a trim and a lower shave to keep on top of it.

As for grey my hair started falling out before it went grey so male pattern baldness means a very short haircut and the grey in the facial hair will have to do! The grey doesn’t bother me as much as the balding, but it happened to me pretty young so now I don’t really care!

Try a wax once…. Scary at first but the feeling afterwards 😍😍

There is a place near to me that does male waxing, so good to hear from someone that has had it done. I think scary is an understatement, as I'm worried my balls may end up on a wax strip

Look I’m not going to lie to you, that shot hurts the first time, it’s terrifying, the expectation, but I went back! A few times! I haven’t in a while but that’s budget and time based! I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

My point is, for me, it’s worth it
