To dye or not to dye - that is the question.

Chris Evans|09:24 UK time, Tuesday, 17 November 2009

Women can and they do and no one minds, in fact it's positively encouraged. Women are here to be beautiful, each in their own unique way. But men, why are we here ?

The prettiest of us blokes look like girls anyway, the most handsome - rugged and invincible. Having never been either of the above myself, I have had to look for other reasons to justify my existence and develop my allure.

Would I ever dye my hair though ? Actually yes I probably would but I would not dye it to try to cover up the fact that it was no longer the colour I wanted it to be. I would die it obviously - to cheer myself up or cause a stir.

Of course it's every individual's choice to do what they like with what they've got, but I can't help feeling sometimes some people are doing things that have the opposite of their desired effect.

Shall we talk about Katie's trout pout at this point - now that I just don't get. And she paid for it !

    Oh Chris - me and 'im were in fits last night at "that pout" - what is it like? And like you so rightly point out ... she paid for it!?!?

    OMG!

    As for hair dyeing. I've been doing that very thing since I was about 16, and am amazed I have any hair left at forty-one-derful! Been every colour you can think from blond to black, but tend to stick at my fave "Merlot / Shiraz" shade! You have to be careful if staying in hotels tho - nice white fluffy towels and pillow cases tend to turn a hue of pink, which isn't so clever.

    As for men doing the dye ... hmmm, not so sure.

    Gary Numan. I rest my case.

    Love and stuff

    Morning Chris,

    I started going grey when I was 20 and only in the past two years have I started to spend a fortune in colouring and highlighting my hair - would I go back to being grey now - not on your life!

    Grey hair on a man is distinguished on a woman it's old age - or so they say!

    Morning All,

    I'd definitely go for the dye, and it does cheer you up, only don't do what I've done in the past and have your glasses on!!!! had a nice 'line' to the back of my ear - not recommended.

    Only caught a little of celeb last night - late night at the office.

    On the countdown to the new slot. Not many sleeps now.

    Must dash got a crossed legged dog, desperate to get out again, then back to the grind.

    Onwards and upwards peeps, catch you later.

    Does anyone remembererer hair mascara in the 1980s? I used to get thru gallons of the blue one - at the time I had short spikey black hair and my mum used to spend painstaking hours "painting" the tips of the spikes blue for me!

    Cost a fortune in hairspray too.

    Happy Dayz!

    Morning all

    Do I dye? Course I do, nothing drastic, just mainly to cover the grey and give it a bit of a lift! As for men, definitely a no-no. Mr P has often threatened, but only to wind me up, he knows it would certainly be grounds for divorce!

    KP? the less said the better, but if it becomes the KP/J show there will be one less viewer, that's for sure.

    Have to say didn't particularly notice anything odd about Dec's hair. Could it have been the lighting?

    Bright and sunny here.

    Welcome back AliB, glad you enjoyed your trip. I would have had to change my knickers had I experienced your landing!

    The Half-Wit...

    A man owned a small farm in Aberdeenshire. The Department of Work & Pensions claimed he was not paying proper wages to his farm hands and sent an Inspector out to interview him.

    "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent.

    "Well," replied the farmer,"There's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him £200 a week plus free room and board. There is a lady who cleans and cooks; she's been here for 18 months, and I pay her £150 per week plus free room and board."

    "Then there's the half-wit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work. He makes about £10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Scotch every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally."

    "That's the man I want to talk to...the half-wit," says the Inspector.

    "That would be me, then," replied the farmer.

    Don't understand the fuss about the jungle. Watched Life instead, where the insects were only in danger from being eaten by other insects!

    Male hair dye - such a bad thing, but as one who started to go bald at 19, what do I know! ;)

    Christophe, please forgive me totally if I'm speaking out of turn here, but haven't you had your own hair done of late?? It seems much lighter than it was in the 90s but I don't think it's grey so are you now a bottle blond??

    As one who's been most colours of the spectrum and who eventually realised that the colour which suited me most was my natural one (or rather, the one from my youth, rather than the persistent grey which now seems to push its way to the fore), I can't comment on anyone making such changes and thank heavens we CAN if we want to!

    I agree with what's being said about Katie's pout - she looks more like a fish every week. She used to be SOOOO pretty and it's a real shame she couldn't leave well alone.

    Great fun though!! xxx

  • Comment number 14.

    Ah Jayzus Christoff don't get me goin' on KNYP's trout pout.

    Actually I'm not goin' to start rantin' again, I've said enough on my opinion there; what I will say is that she's leading the way, Pied Piper style, for impressionable girls and women-and some men- right down the path of body dysmorphia.. and I'm not being dramatic.

    Look. I'm 54 years old. My face and body are not what they were at 21. I am developing those tiny wrinkles around the lip area that if I didn't have, there'd be something wrong with me. But I do look at the aul mazzard in the magnifying mirror and feel a little sad to see it's not what it was. BUT I'M IN ME 50S for goodness' sake, and for a middle-aged woman, hey, I'm not THAT bad; I have no health issues apart from the odd migraine and a slight tendency to depression, which I deal with... am one lucky woman.

    Now when I'm scrutinisin' me face, I do what we all do; I pinch behind me ears and see me little ventriloquists' dummy lines disappear and bemoan the fact I can't stitch a little dart in there as I would do with a frock that needs alterin'. I look at me eyes and see the little bits of loose skin in me eye socket, again, that happens, and I wonder would I look less tired if I got me "eyes done".

    But you know what. I've quite a few friends and acquaintances my age who've had the face-lifts, the Botox, the fillers, whatever, and they look very strange indeed. One woman I know, I met only recently but immediately saw she'd had some sort of treatment. Didn't say anything, of course, but she fascinated me. Very strange and unnatural eyebrows, I was almost lookin' for the knot on top of her head. Some time later, our mutual friend, who's known her years, said to me, "Hey, what d'you reckon; Tricia's just told me she's had a facelift!! Who'd have guessed that?"

    "Me, actually." Says I.

    Please, girls and guys, let's embrace the changes that age brings. I might have looked better in my younger days but I was SO naive, actually I reckon I was a bit of a nause, I wouldn't want to go back there and not be in the place I am now with the benefit of all the mistakes I've made. And there've bin' LOADS.

    For now I'll stick the aul slap on and diddle up the hair-yes, and colour it-and in 10 years, if I've escaped strangulation at the hands of the GD, I fully intend to be a silver-ponytailed aul biddy, and given Renee's sparkly little blue eyes at the age of 86, I'm stickin' with what I've got. And thankin' me lucky stars.

    In fairness, KP is going to look a complete nightmare if she reaches 50, and for that I feel terribly sorry for her; because she'll not cope with it. For all I'm so disdainful of the woman, I don't wish a lifetime's unhappiness on her, and that's what she's heading for. The problem I have is the knock-on effect upon our impressionable young ones, and up to a point we're all responsible for this on account of keeping the bandwagon rolling. Which is why I (pointlessly I admit) won't, and can't bear to, watch her.

    Right. Where's that magnifyin' mirror, I've a date with the Brillo Pad and the tweezers.

    Morning each,

    Clodagh..said it brilliantly as usual..you`re a star!

    As for the dying thing..well as those of you who have met me will realise, my hair is not one bit natural colour! Currently choc brown with black and orange bits and i love it! have been every colour under the sun and it`s sort of my trademark...noone ever knows what i`m going to come back with after the hairdressers trip..least of all me! And now i am naturally properly grey then all the better!

    But men,... the GM is (and has been since he was 20something apparently) a lovely shade of steel grey..and it suits him. As for him ever dying it..well he may not be a rugby type bod like Clodaghs ex but i wouldnt fancy my chances! NOt that id want him too anyway cos as someone said earlier..its distinguished..least one bit is then!

    Deevs..as one who knows a few farmers that is so true!
    Beez..glad you back safe!
    and MTF..congrats to your friend! Does she have a name or is that too personal to put on here maybe..). And the stye..gold does indeed work apparently... failing that get some chloramphenical drops from the chemist..will cure everything!

    Take care all..

    Been dieing my hair for about 8 years, tried to hold off as long as I could but unfortunately I have a a lovely grey streak in the front that makes me look like a female version of dickie davies.

    As for blokes dieing their hair, always thought it looks a little strange, especially when you can tell it isnt their real colour, men look more distinguished with the grey in their hair, although my hubby is very lucky he is a mousey brown colour and doesnt look like he has any grey in it until you get very close to him and he is 55. He also has hair like wire wool so it hides all the grey.

    KP good grief did she really think she wasnt going to get picked for the challenge what did she look like in that half bikini and half costume. Brace yourself KP you are going to be doing a lot of challenges me thinks

  • Comment number 19.

    Thanks Scoobs, will fb you name.

    As for the chloramph..... thats the stuff I have got, but the swelling has gone down one side of my face bit sort of elephant mannish.

    But, its a lovely day and I will be sporting my shades until the sun goes down.

    One thing, tho, its plumped my wrinkles out!

    My solutions to wrinkles... just have a bit of extra weight on you... then there is no room for wrinkles! My sis is 3 yrs younger than me and size 10..and we always get asked who is the elder..much to her disgust!(always knew there was a reason i liked chocolate so much!). Oh and my mum is also tiny and very lined.. but still gorgeous with it...

    Life and history lines not wrinkles everyone..remember that!

    And another thing.

    I reckon it's high time there was a humane amnesty for bad syrup-wearers everywhere.

    There could be secret bins placed in strategic positions up and down the country, where the offending syrups could be deposited under cover of nightfall. Then they could be collected and nailed down on country lanes, in order to p*** off maraudin' magpies.

    What d'yous think.

  • Comment number 24.

    Morning all - Wall to wall blue but forecast for later in week is a bit dire.

    I'm like you Groovy - got a grey streak which I left until I started looking like a badger and my barnet fixer convinced me to have highlights - which I did until my hair started breaking! Been all the colours of the rainbow, including green.
    The stuff men use to cover the grey is fine if it makes them feel better if they have lightish hair but when the old black dye bottle comes out - yuk - no way. Most guys cut their hair so short these days anyway?

    Has KP got a trout pout - Oh my - will have to have a peek just to have a laugh.

    OK gang, what's this about ....

    After the recent trip to Liddipool, it seemed right to continue converting my Beatles collection from vinyl to CD, so I ordered 3 CDs from "that site wot sounds like a river in south america".

    I opted for free delivery and group my purchases together.

    Friday I received The White Album.

    Today I received Let It Be and Magical Mystery Tour - in seperate packages!

    LOL Clodagh! Although looking on the bright side, being as my glass is 99% of the time half full (except when I'm with Beezer!) I've always thought that should I ever in my life become ill, like really seriously hair-falling out ill (you know what I'm saying) I would love to have the most fun possible with wiggages.

    I'd have a wardrobe full - pink ones, black ones, red ones, long ones, short spikey ones - you name it! When I got up in the morning the wig would match the mood, the undies and the killer heels.

    Even if I didn't have the energy to leave the house, I'd still try and make an effort.

    Yeh.

    Oh Beez I'm with you, babe.

    I've been slappin' the aul colours on my hair for years now, never go to the hairdresser's apart from the odd prunin' now and then. Apart from the time whilst at Art College in Mancester in the 70s, when it was cool to mince down to Vidal Sassoon on a Tuesday night, when they trained the students and yous got a free 'do'.. provided yous didn't care what yous got. Then meself and the bezzy mate Linder had the blue hair, the pink fluff, at one point the close-cropped black air with a blonde plait down the back..ah jayzus the things you'd see when out without your gun.

    Anyway, not too long since, I looked at me brassy head and thought, ah, sugar it, I'll get it done properly. And off I trotted down to a noncy salon in Dublin 4.

    And emerged like the love-child of Dickie Davies and Margaret Thatcher.

    So it's the continued use of the L'Oreal Fexcellence for me from now on. I might look c**p but at least it won't cost me €200 and an afternoon of me life.

    Clodagh -that sounds traumatic!

    Me?Love going to the hairdressers...its `my` time and i have a fabulous lady `what does`! In fact when i was going through my divorce and money was extra tight i had to cut down on my trips (ie go twice a year instead of every 6 weeks)...so she used to ring me whenever they were having a training session and i`d have mine done for free... how lovely was that? The most memorable creation was blonde all over with orange tips and an aysemmetric(sp?) cut...fab! Think the fact i let them do whatever they want to me helped my cause too!

    Aforementioned sis though..would rather have root canal than go to hairdressers..hates it with a passion! Luckily for her she has gorgeous naturally blond hair...if she wasnt my sis i`d hate her!

    Hi CLP and everyone else,

    I've been colouringmy hair for the last couple of years, have got copper highlights at the mo which I really like. I started noticing grey hairs a few years ago in my mid twenties but I don't necessarily colour my hair to cover them up, it's just to add a bit of oomph really! Am on a budget so can only afford to get my hair done every few months and it is such a treat, I love having that little bit of me time!

    Tummy seems to have settled down today, so fingers crossed the worst of the bug is over now so should be back to work tomorrow. Actually feel cpable of going out today which is a vast improvement on yesterday!

  • Comment number 33.

    Morning chaps,

    I dye, as many of you know, and I like the feeling of my hair afterwards, so soft and shiny, and the fact that is generally gives my whole appearance a lift - cus sometimes I really need a lift!

    Errol refuses to colour, and thats fine. He is getting more salt and pepper, and on occasion has been called my silver fox - which apparently he quite likes. There are big differences between male and female products I think, and wonder what would happen if I put some of my product on his head. Would it all fall out, or turn blue, or what? Is the genetic formula of bloke hair different to bird hair? (and, no, I don't mean feathers)

    And Katie Price - I must say I have been surprised about what has been writ on here about her. Somewhat intolerant, judgemental and maybe a little cruel. Unusual on this blog I must say, as overall the crowd are supportive, caring and often go out of their way to help how and where they can. I'm not saying I'm her biggest fan, not by a long way, but maybe I just feel she has so little impact on my life that it doesn't matter what she does or how she looks. When she first entered the jungle however many years ago, I remember many people taking the same opinion, and yet she won the public over. She was entertaining, worked as part of the team and showed a side of her that we rarely see. Whether this side was genuine or not is probably up for debate, but that can be said about the model, the tv star and the figure we see in the newspapers. The strategy is to keep the profile high, keep the public interested, keep Heat and other such toilet rolls filled with her stories and she is set for life. And fair play to her. As for being a role model for young girls, do you really think she is admired by the younger generation? Surely the younger stars, such as Cheryl Cole, that enjoy more coverage, delivered in a more positive manner, play a much bigger part in these kids lives.

    Maybe the issue is that katie is always in the press, with 'scandalous' stories, which are basically none of our business, not news and not very interesting. But it sells. And whose fault is that?

    Sorry to bang on...

    Going now.

    Rosie - take it easy, but glad things have settled a bit x


    Another random thought to share with y'all ....

    Why is it that as I get older I feel the need to co-ordinate? As I get dressed in the morning, underwear is chosen with care and almost always, without exception, matches. Today, my jumper matches my lingerie, and my jewellery, again carefully chosen, is of the same amythest colour as the other aforementioned bits and bobs.

    Is it "because I can", or maybe I'm subconsciously thinking that should I get run over or squished by a bus I'll look better for the doctors ...?!?

    Weird, but as Bingo would say, 100% true!

    Hello,

    I am desperate to go grey for two reasons:

    1: It means that my hair has decide to stay and announce some changes rather than deserting the sinking ship, which it currently is (despite my denials to close friends who tell me it's getting thinner).
    2: So that I can acheive the full George Clooney look that I am so close to having..........Dillusional - Me?!?!?!

    Also - as someone who has looked 10 years older than I am since I was about 15......as long as the CMM is happy enough with what she has the misfortune of glaring at over the dinner table....Who cares what I look like.
    Plastic surgery would be money better spent on the Porsche I have promised myself I reckon........What middle age crisis?

    Must be something in the air today. I also woke up feeling very old but it is my wedding anniversary & I have been married a very long time.
    I had highlighted my hair in the past not so much to hide the white/grey but the fact that the colour seems to have disappeared to be replaced by a boring dullness.
    Am revving up for a trip to the HD haven't been for over a year. Maybe Deev has the answer, as one who hasn't the energy to leave house maybe wigs are the way forward. I feel a spot of online shopping coming on.

    Oh & I wouldn't mind whatever himself did with his hair, dye wise. & bald is good too.

    Clodagh - Very eloquently put and , as usual, spot on.
    Syrups - an ex MD of mine had one, which everyone knew, though, naturally, he didn't know everybody else knew. I remember having a conversation with him once which got on to swimming, to which his contribution was "I hate swimming" - I wonder why?! I also had another ex-colleague who had 2 of them, one for when he had been for "a hair cut"...LOL.

    Clodagh, you are so right with how weird these people like Katie Price look. A few more who are looking strnager every time they appear on TV are Lulu, whose face looked like it was covered in cling film when I last saw her.... Olivia Newton-John has done something awful and hers and Lulu's mouths seem to stay permanently open because of it!

    Poor Cilla Black now has pouches in her cheeks (as does Joan Collins) and looks quite like a chipmunk these days, Ruby Wax has cheeks that have moved upwards and look like they've had plums implanted in them.........

    I wonder what these ladies of a certain age see when they look in the mirror? Surely they see images that look worse than a few well-earned lifelines!!!!!

    Hiya All

    Ebs, sorry about this job. Beez is right though, all will come right in the end

    Deevs, as well as the matching clothes thing, do you do planning outfit for upcoming event as soon as you know about event or is that just me?

    Hair & dye, have fab hairdresser who bungs a selection of colours in to cheer up my boring brown barnet. Am hoping that will disguise the natural "highlights" that are starting to break through.

    Someone thought Chris might be assisting the blondness of his hair but I can't remember who, sorry. Don't think so. My mum was a proper red head when younger, nicknamed Topsy (as in carrots by Dad's aunt) but as she has got a little older, the redness has faded to an almost pure white now, assisted a little by her lovely hairdresser. Think Chris is going the same way

    By the crin. Back on terra firma, County Kildare to Belfast in less than 2 hours, marvellous. Yes, I know it's not that far but it's a slalom race with a few donkeys thrown in for good measure.

    Now then Rips. Talkin' a George Clooney, the only good-lookin' chap I'd take me curlers out for, hows this from The Men Who Stare At Goats.

    What's the most popular phrase in the French language?

    I give up.

    Hurrah.

    Sylvia, yes you're SO right. And all of the women you mention were gorgeous to begin with. What a tragedy. Why are we so set on this mission to homogenise ourselves I wonder.

    I've just deposited two of the most gorgeous girls back courtesy of Aer Fungus, both of their ages collectively less than mine, and have listened to them twittering on all weekend about liposuction, muffin-top, Botox, cellulite, etc.. and there's more meat on a dirty fork than on the pair of 'em. It's ridiculous, and yet in their early 20s they're frighteningly serious. Ergo I've threatened them that next weekend there will be a collection box wherein they will pop a euro every time they mention such c**p. I shall match it euro for euro and the proceeds will go to CIN.

    I've got me tin and stuck a label over it sayin' Children In Need Of Slap.

    I only hope I can afford it by the time they've finished. Honestly.

    Chezza. What a lethal combination, boredom and excitement. Only 3 sleeps, hun.

    Right. Off to do the breaststroke in this ere bath. Crikey I need lane markers. Best watch I don't leave the tap runnin' and fall asleep or I'll end up with a nasty case a The Bends.

    Evening, have been sleeping off a throat/cough/shiver/ache thing most of the day, so it feels more like morning, and not too good at that.

    Hair - my thoughts. Men should never, ever dye their hair a totally new colour, eg Cliff Richard, Bono. It's not just that it looks silly, although it does, don't really know why. It's because to get like that they must have sat for ages at a salon wearing foils and such like. That is soooooo unsexy and unmanly. Sorry if that offends any of our male members. Ha ha look what I just wrote.

    No, I like my men, (well, man really) a bit tousled, nice and clean and smelling of man, with his hair as it is, with perhaps a little product on special occasions. And a squirt of something musky on those same occasions. And Boleynman is going grey (much more since he met me)and has a bald patch on the top where his hair has been loved away, like the Velveteen Rabbit. Lovely.

    I used to be a ginge like Gingembre, indeed in my "shorn" days as a child I looked just like his old FB profile pic and have wondered if we may have been twins seperated at birth; if I can ever work out how to scan a picture and upload it you'll see what I mean.

    Nowadays I am more of a dull brown but my lovely hairdresser sparks it up - can't wait for my Christmas sprucing on December 10th - you get mulled wine with that one. And amazingly for someone in her "early to mid" 40s I have very few of the wiry variety, but when they do grow they are pure white.

    Jordan - *sigh*. How much airtime did she take up last night? And she's splashed all over the red-tops today. I just would prefer them to have left things as they were.

    Evening all

    I'm still at work, as I needed to make up some time for the traffic chaos this morning - so what do I do, straight on the blog!

    I've never dyed my hair, even though some old grey one's are starting to come through. I'm not sure what I'll do when a lot more do, probably just leave it alone, and go grey gracefully.

    Mr JG hasn't enough hair to dye, well in truth, he's a gone a bit thin on top, so has a number 1 every 5-6 weeks! He has apparently bleached his hair in his youth, but I've not seen any photographic evidence!

    evening all, hope you're well?

    Noooooooo Christophe, step away from the dye, there aren't many of us left. Hang in there fella until nature takes it course.
    I once had a highlights (in my school days) and it looked like a pigeon had deposited all over me - this look wasn't helped by the recent Kevin Keegan perm I'd just had.
    Have to say though, something I mentioned to MrsW a few weeks ago that I was looking forward to getting a fe white/grey sproutings as I get older. I grew a beard a few weeks back and was lovin' the white bits!

    Jordam has ruined herself totally with the surgery, but it seems to me that most 'celebs' do this once they start.

    Not been well since yesterday afternoon, had one of the current bugs doing the rounds, let's just say that I know my new bathroom very intimately and didn't sleep much last night. Feeling a tad better now but boy it was a long night in there!!!!!

    The coordination thing ,I'm afraid with Beez on that one it's the thing that we don't like to admit to but creeps up on us unannounced.

    Glodagh ,#14 Spot on as usual .The problem isn't know its a few years down the line when nothing more can be done in the lines of surgery or botox It's the rest of the body that lets you down ,it all starts to go south from head to toe .

    All as I can say is that the morticians are going to have a ball.

    Scooby ,I'm one of those that are all plumped out .Hahaha.


    Jules ,Happy anniversary .
