Ricky Ponting's Barnet

[smudge]

He looks like a cross between Galen / Alvin Stardust.
Any NSCer's own up to using a bit of product to hide the greyness?

 

[Mellotron]

Looks absolutely AWFUL.

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

It was pathetic. Why do people do it?

 

[daveinprague]

Not with the sort of family I have. Wouldnt hear the end of it

Happy to admit that I have dabbled. Originally motivated by the appearance of a grey/white patch on the crown of my head that made me look like the victim of seagull plop...

There are some decent products available that with a modicum of effort achieved a decent result on the offending patch with a natural looking amount of grey remaining elsewhere. But as the rest of my barnet catches up with my Mallen Streak I am less bothered and haven't done it for a while now...

What I don't understand is how someone like Ponting can make himself look so ridiculous. Would he have done it himself or did an extremely negligent hairdresser inflict it on him?

It's a hair transplant, he was balding in 2005.

Once had a guy at work who went from totally "silver" to jet black over night. He was the boss so to speak, so nobody said anything. The I walked in, & being a Brit just couldn't contain myself. Got a bad evaluation that contract.

Noticed this yesterday.

Ridiculous

Can't understand why blokes would want to dye their hair

Let's face it ...he can do what he wants , he's efffin loaded........but to me his head looks like a coconut husk wrapped round a large pickled onion...!

That might have been the look he was going for!!

TBH, can't understand why women want to do it either. It invariably leaves grey roots showing, which often looks worse. And with brunettes, their hair can look too dark for their faces. Nothing wrong with grey hair on a woman

 

[HHGull]

I couldn't believe how ill he looked. So pallid I thought he would keel over any minute. Maybe the darkness of his new hair means he needs a tan to go with it!

 

[Peter Grummit]

I had no idea he was interested in League 2 football in north London, let alone take a controlling interest.

Salt n' pepper is the way to go, natural is best.
