In a month or two, the colour will darken a bit as the slacker hairs catch up. With an established mo, I would take a narrow spike point that I have, weave it into position on a long grey one, and pop it off. Good practice and a good way to check sharpness!! Anyway, I asked the barber up town if he noticed any difference in growth with grey hairs, he said he agreed, but me thinks, as long as I pay him, he'll agree with most anything I say. Do me a favor, if you run across a barber, ask them. I'd like to prove my theory.
I also have some shaky photographic proof. We have a TV show here called Duck Dynasty, about a family of duck hunters rednecks that made it big selling duck calls. The guys in the show all have beards. I noticed that "Uncle Silus" has a beard that has more grey on one side than the other, and the grey side is longer than the other. See what you think, Si is the guy second from the right. This whole subject probably proves, I need to get out of the house more! lol!
