Not sure if I've gotten any yet; my hair is a dark blonde with lighter streaks in the sun, so it's hard to tell if any strands are lighter than normal. Think I caught a glance of a few today though.

So how old were you?

Where's the option for "I don't have any"
Intended to include that, realized after I posted the poll that I didn't include it, and not able to ascertain the method for editing posted polls.

In any case, it would be more interesting to know what your age range is if you don't have any grey, and the poll only goes up to 10 options so posts are more viable as a useful info gathering tool.

A good point, unfortunately you can't edit polls.

I'm 23.

First spotted some when I was 18. 26 now and I've got a very visible amount around my temples and all over my head.

My mom's side of the family has full heads of grey hair, and zero baldness, so that's great. My hairline hasn't receded a bit. Just started getting grey hair at 18. Which I'm cool with.

I remember seeing my first grey hair when I was 14, I'm 23 now and have quite a bit, seems to be more all the time. Hopefully it slows down soon.

Got my first when I was like 12. By 16, everyone was commenting on how much grey hair I had, which really stands out against my pitch black asian hair.

I think it was right after college so I was in my early 20s. I have more now. Any ways to fight it beside the "Just For Men" method? No, going bald/shave off won't work either.

Mid/late 20's. Only one and it keeps coming back, I didn't even noticed till someone else pointed it out to me and now it is like a beacon of oldness on my head.

I have had some grey hair for as long as I remember. Around 25&#37; of my hair is now grey. I have family members who were born with some grey hair. Mom side around 75% of the people are all grey by mid 30s. All of the males are bald by their 40s. I am going grey and bald.

I think I was 17 when I found my first one.

Nowadays, I'm at about 80&#37; gray/white...maybe more.

26-30 for proper gray hairs (at the temples).

I think everyone gets a random freak white hair every now and then, regardless of age.

There's nothing wrong with grey on a guy. Most guys look good with the silver fox look, IMO.

Hoping that opinion runs both ways because I have no intention of doing anything labor intensive like dying my hair. My mom is in her fifties and still had a mix of brunette, blonde and grey and I think it looks awesome. With any luck, I'll look as good as she does at her age.
