Colouring
If your hair is beginning to become grey, don't despair. Grey hair is a mixture of grey, white and silver-grey tones that can look very distinguished. Even if most men don't take grey hair as seriously as going bald, there is help to be found. In colouring the hair, you don't just cover the grey hairs. You also get significantly more life and shine into the hair.
If you don't want to pay a fortune (Euro 60 - Euro 100) to colour your hair at a hair salon, there are many good products for home use. You can purchase these at gents or in any large superstore, and they are not much more difficult to use than regular shampoo.
It is best to choose a colour which is two shades lighter than your own natural colour. There are usually colour charts in the stores so you can see and compare. You must also decide what type of hair colouring you would like: semi-permanent which holds for 6-8 shampoos, more permanent that remains for up to 20 shampoos, or permanent hair colouring which keeps two to three months before the new hair growth requires a new treatment.
It can be wise to test on a small amount of your hair first, so you are sure that you have found a colour that fits you before you do all of your hair. Be careful to follow the simple instructions that come with the product, you do NOT want to experience hair dyeing with incorrect results!
You can even try to apply highlights. Highlighting involves colouring individual strands of hair a little lighter or darker. It is an effective method to soften up a man's hairstyle, where the colour can otherwise be rather short and compact. You will find highlights on the same shelf as hair dyes in the store. You should however consider that highlights can be difficult to apply on your own. Unless you are the rubber-man, you are going to need someone who can help you with the neck where you can't reach it yourself.
