That's not why they use dye. The fact that they get grey hair is not why they dye. They dye because they're trying to pretend not to be old.

It's like saying, "I get tired, and that's why I use heroin."

Not sure I quite get your heroin analogy BHforce. 

Anyway, saw a singh at a wedding once who had obviously dyed his beard and mucha. He'd obviously had a chemical reaction to it because his lips and eyes were obscenely swollen. I mean REALLY swollen. Felt really sorry for him because I bet he begged his wife that morning not to force him to go the wedding looking like that. Wifey knows best though.

Actually, now that i think back about it. His wife was from India and that probably explains it. He probably didn't want to dye his hair and was happy being distinguishly grey but ladies from India don't like it. Whereas in the west it's quite common for men to go a little bit bald and grey in their late 30s the only grey haired people you see in india are the very old buddeh. or maybe you don't see non-old buddeh that are grey in India because it's extremely common to dye and everyone non-buddah does it. Or maybe the grey ones that are non-budda are so ashamed they just stay indoors and thats why you never see them. Maybe it's the water, soap and shampoo we use in the west that makes people go balder and grayer at a much earlier age than in india. Maybe it's the stress. Not only the stress of modern life but also the stress of having a wife from india who forces you to dye your hair. I don't know. It could be any of these things or none at all. I don't really know what i'm talking about here. I just came to say I didn't understand the heroin analogy.
