Tough question but I need the advice. My Alpha is 56. He is tall and his body is aging well. He is a big, long time gym enthusiast and it shows. Thats not the problem. He has recently taken to dying his facial hair. To be honest, it gives him the appearance that a driveway sealing company has been by. It is a shade of black that is not human. If it had a name, I bet its asphalt #5. How do I tell him? I see this trend in older men. Its not fooling anyone and looks ridiculous. Help.
Ugh, it’s horrible, isn’t it? I once knew an older, good-looking married Man with gorgeous streaks of gray in his still-thick head of hair. But, for whatever reason, he would dye his mustache blacker than a moonless midnight. It drove me nuts to talk to him, because I kept glaring at the very obvious coloring and getting annoyed in the process.
Ah, the fun of the Male ego and those traumatic mid-life adjustments!
Here’s what I think you should do: ask him if he would allow you to dye his facial hair for him. Tell him that you have some ideas you’d like to try to make him really look fantastic. Then choose a more suitable color. The thing about dyeing hair is that the process is easily correctable if he hates it, especially if his go-to color is “asphalt #5″ (very funny, by the way). This might be a way for you to serve in a more personal way, while also correcting a personal flaw in him in a way that doesn’t shame him.
Good luck, brother!
