Even though I buzz my sides/back and am clean shaved, it was a goddamn nuissance constantly having to attend to my stubble and buzz/color my sides and back.

I'm 38 and the hair only looked good when after I'd just shaved, just dyed my eyebrows. Otherwise, there'd just be too much grey going on.

same here, and that 10% grey breaks up the main hair colour nicely. In fact, I now have 3 shades on my hair: grey, black, dark brown. This adds more realism because in reality hair is never one big block of colour - or certainly not at my age anyway!

I'll be upping the grey to 15% shortly and then 20% after. I quite like the idea of being a silver fox :cool:

I was wondering, how do you dye your eyebrows and do you match the colour of them to the colour of the hair system?

I use Just For Men's beard and mustache color. I go for a color slightly darker than my hair, as that's how it's supposed to be & the color I order is a step below my matural color, suiting me much more. Dark brown eyebrows, medium brown hair.

Hair color is Med. brown, grey percentage is 40, and I bleach my knots.

I've noticed more not than in the past, thy my the two colors combined (Medium brown and gray), that my hair tends to look 'ashy', and I am loosing the contrast between two distinct colors - med. brown and gray. At some point, I have to always recolor my system, but now I went just a bit darker - and it looks much better.

and I color my eyebrows too - but not mustache

Dark eyebrows are a must if your natural hair color is dark. It makes you look so much more youthful. Grey eyebrows are really, really bad for a guy's aesthetics - unless he's very old.

I've never thought about this :D

Every so often I find a white hair in my eyebrows and I just pluck it out 'cos otherwise it stands out against the jet-black hairs.
