Why does it take 5 minutes for men to DYE their Hair and 35 minutes for women.?

I was having a disscusion with my neighbour and we were talking about Grey hairs, my said dye your hair. that's when we come up with this question, because there is a hair dye for men that only takes 5 Minutes but women have to leave the hair dye on for 35 minutes why should this be?Why does it take 5 minutes for men to DYE their Hair and 35 minutes for women.?
According to the ';Just for men'; hair dye advert, their product uses ';X-grey science'; since I have never seen this on any womens hair dye I can only assume it is this that makes it develop quicker.


P.S does anyone know what X-grey science is????Why does it take 5 minutes for men to DYE their Hair and 35 minutes for women.?
women generally have more hair and it's thicker than men's. it also depends on the strength of the dye and what colour you are changing to eg blond to brown is quicker than brown to blond as blonde is a light colour and is easiest to turn another colour.
ive always wondered this .................
Most probably due to the difference in hair length! :)
compairing the thickness, lengthiness most women have longer hair compared to men and of course more thicker and when its more thicker it takes a longer time to dye it every sides of the hair and when it is longer it will take a longer time that is 35 min whereas for men its shorter that's why it takes for them a lesser time compared to women that's 5 min. For some men the hair might be thick but it is still short that why it takes lesser time for them(men).
Because men's hair is usually shorter I guess. And since the majority of women have more hair than men there's more ground to cover, or hair to cover....
Helen honey if you find the ANSWER to your question please let me know because I am wondering myself. Why it take to long to put her SARI on.
Usually because women have longer thicker hair!! its a nightmare alright!!man have it so lucky
less hair?!
all very good tries on the answers.


the real reason is this:


men BLEND the grey (men's color is made to blend)


women COVER grey.


men's o.t.c. color is a metalic base and also has an ash color. by the time it grows out it gets cut out so there will be less damage to the hair.
Simple answer, men have shorter hair!!!!
mens hair dye may be stronger then womens also most women have longer and thicker hair then men
Women usually have longer hair and usually aren't as bald. Men lose their hair and having short cropped hair so it doesn't take them as long to dye it.
because men dont really notice or care if there hair colours dodgy and they have shorter thinner hair
Womens' hair is usually longer.
As a man I might spend 5 mins doing it. NOT 35 mins.





My wife will spend 40 mins dying hair and resent 5 mins ';having a coffee'; -- go figure.





Something to do with dinosaurs and caves I think.
I've been asking my fella that question for ages now, he doesn't know either, also I dyed my eyebrows the other day and that only takes 5 minutes aswell, whats going on?
coz women normally have more longer hair and its thicker.It also depends on what colour you are dying your hair. If you weredying it light blonde from a black rather than blonde to light brown it would need longer for the chemicals to do their job.
