Do Men Need Different Gray Hair Shampoo?

Society has been telling us that while women should never let their hair go gray, it's only okay for men to be silver foxes. (Obviously if you've been reading this blog then you know by know that we think this is BALONEY!) 

But do silver foxes need a separate shampoo?  

The answer is: definitely not! Hair is hair regardless of gender, and if your hair has gray in it you need a shampoo to get rid of brassiness and yellowing. One of the choices on our list of top 5 gray hair shampoos would work perfectly. 

But for dudes who need to feel like they're using a "dude shampoo", American Crew's Gray Shampoo for Men is the ideal choice.

It has a masculine bottle. A patriotic name. And it's cheap!  If that doesn't sound like a "dude shampoo" to you then what does?

50 Shades of Grey Hair

When people talk about colored hair such as blonde they speak with a range of discriptors such as Ash Blonde, Platinum Blonde, Honey Blonde... Blah Blah Blonde!

The stereotype about gray hair is that it's just one color. In fact, gray hair comes in it's own rainbow of hues, from Gainsboro to Glaucous and every gorgeous gradation in between. Let's take a look at some famous celebrities modeling a few of our favorite shades...

Notes from The Gray Wars

Time article confirms the War on Gray!

This time from a feminist angle.

Time and CNN are partners, right?  Did The Coop™ have a hand in this?

Coop Scoop Rebuke

US Magazine, the only celebrity weekly that isn't a complete pack of lies, has definitively and unoquivically debunked the story alleging that our man Anderson Cooper showers in his underpants at the gym, so that nobody will take camera phone pictures of 'Lil Coop. In the May 14th "True or False" column they quote a rep for the Sexy Salt N Pepper Papi who calls the claim "ridiculous." So there! (In a related news item, 51% of those polled thought that Micha Barton Wore It Best™ !)

Gossip diva and Madame doppelganger Janet Charlton, who started the slanderous story, has yet to post a retraction on her site. She must be feeling guilty because she ran this story about what a great guy Anderson is for giving up his first class seat to a pregnant woman. That was a few days AFTER crowing about how her shower lie got mentioned in Page Six.
