Mr. N.Sane is a musician and dyes his hair a revolting shade of blond because he thinks it makes him look cool. His natural hair color is kind of a mousy brownish that never shows grey until it’s completely grey.

I dye my hair. I have for 12 years or so. I’m 39 now and if my hair was it’s natural color I would be about 60% grey and 40% dark brown.

I don’t like being grey. I look and feel about 10 years younger with the dyed hair.

I’ll give up dying when I get wrinkles to with the grey hair.

I got my first grey hair at 13. (!) From 18-25 I dyed lots of colors. Since then (I’m 30), I just dye my natural dark brown over grey. If I didn’t dye, I’d be 20-25% grey, mostly on the sides.

My occasional goatee has brown, red, orange and silver in it, but stays pretty dark so i don’t dye it. The one time I tried it it looked noticeably unnatural.
