Male hair dye for home application

So some grey/white streaks are appearing in my hair, specially on the sides as I march towards 50. My hair is dark colour, towards black being of Indian origin.
What is the simplest product/method to apply a bit of dye at home. Something less chemically strong to avoid damaging the hair.

    Embrace aging. I feel like I can tell when someone dyes their hair black, has a weird shine to it. The salt and pepper look is sexy anyway bro.

      I agree with the barber from Death in Venice personally https://youtu.be/k8Lk4WHoTiQ?t=15

      It is a greater artifice to let people see grey hair and think you're older than you actually are, whereas dying your hair back to its natural colour is more of a truthful representation of relatively youthful self.

      Just don't use the same brand of dye the barber in that scene used; it was dripping down his face by the end of the movie which made him look like a desperate old man trying to look young.

      • Eh, I'm mid-30s and got some greys coming through but people still assume I'm in my twenties. Also if you're 50 I don't think hair dye will wind the clock back much, getting fit and in shape will do more to make you appear youthful.

    Stay natural, it will look better. I've been going grey since I was 27, I'm 40 now. I believe it makes me look more mature :)

    • Looking that mature in your 20s isn't always a good thing.

  • get the Bigen - available from Asian shops.

    Japanese product developed for Asian hair. Before anyone starts Asian hair is also used in flavours that goes (intentionally and in powdered form) into foods here in AU so there must be something good about it

    My dad used to use this

    If a male has grey hair it's "distinguished" if a female has grey hair she's a "hag". Male hair cuts are cheap. Female hair cuts are expensive. But then amongst males younger hair is perceived to be more employable and successful. Society is so unfair. Break with convention, be outrageous, dye your hair green or shave your head.
