I’m 67 years old, and most of the hair on my head is dark brown, with only a few gray hairs. My goatee is gray, my sideburns are gray, but the rest is basically dark brown. I know I’d look a whole lot younger if I shaved off my goatee and sideburns, but I don’t like that look. People who know my age usually assume that I color the hair on top, and give me advice on how to make it look more natural. I try to explain that it IS natural, but they won’t accept that.
So should I dye all my hair (top, sideburns, goatee) some shade of lighter brown or gray? Should I just lighten the top? Should I bleach everything white? Should I just leave it alone, like I’ve been doing all along?
In all seriousness I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the grey goatee and sideburns- Morrissey had the grey sideburns/brown hair look before he went totally grey and it looked fine. If it were me I’d leave it alone unless I didn’t like it.
