Why don't people just use a hair dye to make light or grey hair dark thus enabling laser hair removal devices to work?

Asked By:ShouldI in Ann Arbor, MI

All laser hair removal devices say that they don't work on light or grey hairs, why not make this hair dark and avoid the problem? Lasers say they work on the cheek on down, how close to the eye for upper cheek bone hair?
