I felt the same way until they got splotchy with brown patches, kinda like how a banana goes as it ripens.

Some members (I think Cormanus for example?) has successfully gotten to the Dark Side and in posted images his headers appear uniformly dark brown. If true, that could be the maintenance-free way to go. But, you might have to turn the eyes away for a couple of years as they transition naturally.
