so which would you choose if you had to take one ...

frankly I'm not afraid of balding - have too much hair for that ... but I would still choose greying over balding for myself and for a dh ...

While we're still really young, I would still choose greying for both of us.

For me: I wear a wig and even if I felt I needed something, I could dye it.

For dh: Balding is not a good look, while greying is distinguished.

I didn't have a choice, so I didn't vote. In fact, when I married my dh I had no clue which way he'd go.

My father is grey and bald, my dh has all his hair, my sons are balding.

my husband was half bald before I married him. with him its a family thing and all his brothers have receding hair lines from very young. not much u can do about it really. I think I prefer that to grey actually

I don't know you but it's probably because he has it already and you are used to it. JMHO.

fabulous ur prob right. I never imagined I would marry someone who was bald but he was like that when I married him so I guess im just used to it, for me for him to look grey now would be wierd I think bc although he is bald I know he is young and for him its not a sign of aging where as if he were grey it would be a sign of aging

I have both problems Crying

, but I prefer grey. Grey, you can always dye. My mother is almost all bald due to chemo and it isn't pretty. She finished chemo a long time ago and it isn't growing back. She used to have beautiful thick hair. I got my hair from my father Confused

sorry about your mom ... peoples hair follicles do change in treatment ... my sister's went from tight curls to straight ...

perhaps a deep message with vitamin oils can help with regrowth ...

Grey. Bald men never remember to put sunblock on their scalps.

Grey - my mother went grey in HS and now complains about thinning hair. B"H I have had maybe 2 grey hairs in my life....so I'm still black. It's funny, I have my mother's hair, but I guess her hair as a child Smile

im not sure, I can't imagine my husband either way.

my sister (she's 11) says she wants to marry a bald guy bec my father is bald, she said men are supposed to have shiny heads.

That's funny. My father is bald and I never had a thing for chrome domes one way or the other, but my bro is bald and HIS dds have all so far married eggheads. I can't believe it's a coincidence.
