  • <p><strong>As Seen On:</strong> George Lamb</p> <p>Some guys like to embrace the dad vibes that grey hair inherently gives off. Others, well, they’d rather not. If you fall into the latter camp, then a head full of messed-up locks might be for you. The key here? Once again, texture. But this time, also length and a light styling cream. Taken all together, you’ll get a mop that’s both roguish and dignified, just like the man growing it.</p>

  • <p><strong>As Seen On:</strong> Jeff Bridges</p> <p>Disregard the beard for a moment—it’s a tad out of hand, to say the least—and bear witness to the bounty that is Jeff Bridges grey mane. Given you’ve got a similar hair type, and it’s not too prone to thinning, this is a cut that’s easily replicable: just let your hair grow, washing and brushing it regularly. Oh, and have a stylist clean it up every now and then, too. White hair’s prone to dryness so split ends can be bitch.</p>

Aging doesn’t have to do you in. Sure, wrinkles might abound and wayfaring follicles may begin to sprout in places you never thought they would, but that’s what retinol and waxing are for, respectively. Plus, if you cut out all those bad habits that will prematurely age you, then you’ve got a good shot of making it as long as possible with a good portion of your looks in tact. Which leaves us with one final end to tie up: how exactly should you cut your mane once everything’s gone salt and pepper? Because surely grey hair plays by a different set of rules, right? To help clear that up for you, here are 6 styles perfectly suited for guys with grey hair.
