You see pops with that black mop at 65.
You see granny rockin that blue hair at 72.

I think grey is cool. I have grey hair because I'm 50 and old.

Its OK to get old. Its a privilege. Just had a friend who passed away at 46.

You have no choice anyway. Old age is going to happen whether you like it or not. Life is impermanent. Change is just a part of life. You can accept these changes and be at peace or you can try to fight it unsuccessfully and be miserable.

Attachment leads to suffering. -The Buddha

It's not as bad as cosmetic surgery.

Lilith veneration. People who dye their hair purple are Misato (royalty, balance), blue are Rei clones, red are Lilith. Genuine redheads seem to be Asuka most of the time. I met one named Quinn and expected her to be like Quinn from Ergo Proxy, but she turned out to be profoundly Asuka in many of the worst ways possible. A redhead I knew years prior was more Quinn than this one. Many such cases.

Cosmetic surgery can be bad. If I were to get cosmetic surgery like a face lift I'd go into it with the realistic expectations that I will not look 25 again. Not going to happen. I'd go into it with the idea that it would "refreshen me." To help me grow old more gracefully.

Have you seen Madonna?
Have you seen Simon Cowell?

This is why you don't attach your identity to things that you have no control over.

I bleached my (very dark) red hair golden for a couple of years, just for fun.
That was decades ago, and I happily enjoy the very little grey/white hair I have left.

My hair is chocolate and auburn. Most of the men in this family didn't begin graying until about their 60's. But I think when people go to barbers the barber does dye the hair a little. I never liked the idea of them putting those chemicals in my scalp. That junk causes hair loss.

Without the Mohawk you may have some grey on the sides.
