Grey hair

[rivan]

So I'm getting slowly greyer. I'm ok with that. What I'm not ok with is my hair getting more coarse. And WTF - I just found one that's grey on both ends, brown in the middle. Like 4 inches of grey, 3 or 4 inches of brown, then another 4 inches of grey. Make up your mind!

thats some funny pubic hair.

Gray hair is definitely more coarse and wiry. I've only found like three or four in my life so far (31 today), but I color my hair. Who knows how much gray I really have! haha

Have fun, oldie!

I'm at a loss for a decent comeback to that. There's really nowhere to go but down from a pubic hair reference

It's superfine - and I don't have my camera here. Otherwise I'd have added it to the OP.

Definitely odd.

*creak*

But I'm only 34! I wish I could blame the grey on the wife & kid, but I was greying before they were around!

haha I had like a gray hair before my ex, but I probably have a few more because of the sh!t I went through leaving him.

I started to get gray in my late 20's. I'm now 54 and 80% gray. Gray hair is definately thinner and coarser. In my mid 30's I had one of those "Bring ya back to life" experiences and a lotta my hair did turn gray overnight.
Don't sweat it. Gray can be classey.

well, my hair is naturally black and my chin hair has some brown hair. i was like wtf so i pulled the rest of brown hair out.

I'm only about 5-10% grey now, but the speed of the grey-ing has picked up since I got married. Picked up a little more with the first kid, and I've got another one due - a boy this time - in about 6 weeks, so I'm really expecting to be totally grey by 40

Oh, standard grey doesn't bother me so much - the coarse stuff and the freakish half-and-half ones are just a little wierd

WOOHOO Congrats. I can't wait to get married and be a mommy some day. (Have to find the man first, though. haha)

I got my first gray hairs at about 18. My hair was super short, so for the most part, only I knew they were there, but knowing my family history, I KNEW I would grow a white stripe in the center, just like a skunk...The older I got, the more that stripe turned white...nowdays, (I'm on the + side of 50) I have enough gray everywhere else that the white stripe isn't as obvious as it was, but I know it's still there...

Better than the alternative - balding... that's what's probably on the way for me. Though, knock on wood, I've not even really started thinning yet.

I knew a guy who, in high school, was already bald past his ears... :|

 

[Flyback]

I think all bald men would agree that it is better to have it turn grey rather than fall out You can always dye it!

Yep...I had a boss once (he had like 3 hairs on top of his head) who tried to bust my balls for being so gray...I told him "Fvck you, at least it's hair"..."Oh, BTW" I asked him, "does your barber give you a substantial discount on hair cuts, since there's so little to cut?"
I got sh*t-detail for a week, but it was worth it...

Haha - there was a guy at HR Block last week like that - 3 hairs on each side of his head and he was still combing them over

Yep! I was "Nice And Easy 116A", but it stinks! It does soften and thicken gray hair.

I'm 22 and have no greys. I am hoping to keep it that way for a good ten years.
