As a Black Man, who seems to be graying prematurely (37), I need advice on what product to buy to combat same?

As a black woman, don't meet to many brothers that still have their hair. You are truly blessed in that area. You can always color it, if you don't like it, but before you do. Have you asked some of your lady friends what they thought? I like the salt and pepper look. Brother just do you and ROCK IT!!!!As a Black Man, who seems to be graying prematurely (37), I need advice on what product to buy to combat same?
Well, I can't help with a product but I don't think they sell self esteem anyway. Come on dude, 37 and some gray? The women probably think it looks 'distinguished', and that is a good thing. Just look at me. I have lots of gray hair, and the women just don't quit. Might be because I am a single doctor - I really don't know. Stand tall and be proud of a bit of gray. It is earned.





And now on the brighter side - diet plays a small roll in this. If you improve your diet, by cutting out saturated fats, and anything white (flour, sugar, rice), replacing all of this with fruits and vegetables, beans, brown rice etc. and at 37 a vitamin supplement wouldn't hurt, with some Omega 3 to top it off, then over a space of a year or two, as your hair grows out, it could recover some of it's darker tone. Hope this helps.As a Black Man, who seems to be graying prematurely (37), I need advice on what product to buy to combat same?
I went pearly white at 30. I'd colored my hair for years and stopped. Whoa...I was about 95% white.





Sometimes, a folic acid deficiency is responsible for premature graying. You could try 800 mcg. of folic acid per day. It's not that unusual for people in the USA to be folic acid deficient for some reason. More often than not, though, graying is genetic.





If you want to color the grey, I'd suggest going to Sally's Beauty Supply and buying a DEMI-permanent hair color by Color Charm. You have to buy an activator to go with it. Demi permanent hair color lasts longer than semi but isn't as harmful to the hair as permanent. It works great for covering the grays.





After care of your hair is important. If you use ';clear'; shampoos, they will strip the hair color out of your hair in no time. It's best to use a shampoo for color-treated hair or use a moisturizing shampoo. You might consider what a lot of us ';curly girls'; do, no matter the ethnicity. We are washing our hair with conditioner instead of shampoo. We use cheap conditioners like V05 or Suave to wash our hair. They really aren't good as conditioners but work great to wash hair! We then use a little leave in conditioner of heavier conditioner as needed. You could even spray olive oil or something like that on your hair for additional conditionining. At any rate, washing with conditioner will help keep your hair healthy and keep it from fading as fast if you color it.





The Roux rinses probably won't work if you have lots of grey. A waste of $.
