Should men dye their hair aged over 50. If so how can you make it look natural and also should they grow hair long

Iām not a man so I hope you donāt mind a womanās perspective.
How you care for your hair is completely your own personal thing. Some men dye they their hair , full on while some men use that Grecian formula for a more gradual natural greying look. Then again some men go bald and wear toupeeās while others shave it all off and are perfectly fine with it.
Personally I like a man who isnāt overly fussy about his personal appearance.
Having a man that fusses more than I do wouldnāt go over well. Men who gracefully accept the fact that they are aging is attractive. Anything less than that isnāt really accepting reality.
My guy is half bald and shaves his head. It really suites him and it is obvious that heās comfortable with it.
Hair ? Hmm, I have more hair growing on my eye brows and out my ears than on my head. Nutureās dirty trick on men. I keep what little I have I keep shorn very, very short. I have my own electric shears and cut my own. no sense spending money on a dead garden.
One very bizarre thing about me. Up until I was about age 25, my hair was platinum blonde. Now itās a mix of very dark brown and light gray. weird.:shock:

I think it is totally up to each man to dye or not. Long hair ? Personally I think it looks ok PROVIDED he still has a full head of hair.
Having said that, mick Fleetwood looks just fine. However, I canāt imagine Mick Jagger being nearly bald. 
Personally I think men who dye their hair look rather ridiculous. Paul McCartney for example used to dye his chestnut or similar, and with an old face to me he resembled Ken Dodd. It rarely looks natural - and most women quite like the salt and pepper look IMO. Same goes for older women too, a flat dyed brown or auburn or worse - jet black - looks terrible.
I donāt think itās for me to say if men should dye their hair at a certain age, entirely up to them, it wouldnāt bother me, as for growing their hair long again their decision .
I agree with opinions here that it is entirely a mans decision to grow their hair or dye it. However, personally speaking, men look better just as they are, au natural. Have a chat to a hairdresser if you are making changes - they are better placed to advise what will suit you. 
I donāt think they should dye their or grow their hair long. But their choice.
No no no :shock:
Dyed hair is so obvious because it is almost impossible to replicate natural hair which is made up of a multitude of colours , dyed hair looks a flat colour and unless redone every few weeks the roots show.
I would run a mile from man with dyed hair, for me it signifies vanity and I donāt like vain men .
Cass I bet you wish you had never asked 
Dyed hair on a man is so obvious, and to me, looks ridiculous.
What many men donāt realise is the fact that the majority of men look far more dignified with the lovely silver/grey hair in their older years. 
I struggle to imagine Mick Jagger being bald too, but given that heās just turned 78, I think itās highly improbable that his hair hasnāt been coloured.
Iām not terribly keen on older men with long hair, mainly because the ones Iāve seen are usually scruffy looking. If they keep their long locks under control, though, and stay well groomed, then I have no problem with it.
One thing I cannot abide is a man with a shiny pate and long hair growing only from around the sides. It just looks ridiculous. Bill Bailey is one example, and much as I like him, I think his hair looks absurd. I mean, itās not even strong, healthy looking hair, just a load of thin, wispy stuff. Get it cut, for heavenās sake Bill!
I think you can keep it natural but not unkept if that makes sense? techniques like gray blending help mixing natural appearance with a sophisticated look
Hi @kenishhh
Yeah, like George Clooney ā¦ dye it more shades of grey. Can get expensive though, to keep it looking good.
Whatever you choose to do avoid at all costs the āDonald Trump Miracle Youth Cream & Hair Dye.ā
I could see doing that if it would help in a work environment. Even though itās almost always obvious when itās died, people do look older with grey hair.
The tech industry, for example, is dominated by young people. So if you donāt want to feel like everyoneās father, it makes sense to dye it if it makes you feel younger.
I used to dye my hair when I was in my early 40s. Of course, I was still single at that time, and I think it helped me get dates.
When I met my wife, she was dying her hair, also, so we both had fake hair color. We never talked about it though. When I stopped dying my hair, she asked me if I was letting it go grey, so itās not like I was fooling her all that time, even though I thought I was. 
Youāre just prejudiced against orange people.
Iām half bald and shave half my head, think might have been born half Mohican
