I was in my teens... Now my head is shaved so NONE! But my beard is 50/50... It used to be red/brown/black... then all the red hairs went grey.

First grey hair on my junk was a few months ago. Plucked that fucker and haven't seen him since.

Regardless, even worse than getting grey hair is how shitty those grey-out products they sell at the supermarket are. Total waste of money.

Started noticing a few in my late 30s, and now at 42 I have some graying on my temples and a few occasional other gray hairs. If I let my beard grow it comes in more salt now than pepper.
 
Noticed a couple outliers that looked like kinked up fishing line in my mid 20s. I thought they were some kinda defective or mutant hair folicles until more showed up. They were a lot thicker and stiffer than other hairs but many that have shown up since are no thicker than regular hairs.

It'll be back...with dozens of "friends."
 
I'm 29 currently. I have really thick hair that's dark brown. Just took a look in the mirror just now. It's hard to say. I have a few hairs here and there that are a bit lighter but not what I would call gray really. They might be though hard to say.
 
it's funny, just today I thought I saw a grey hair in the mirror... hard to say, though, my hair is really short and it could have just been blond.

not that it matters, I keep my head shaved... but I shave it once/month and shaving day is tomorrow, so this is about as long as it ever gets.
 
Not sure anymore, somewhere in my 20s I think. I always had a light spot in my beard though, which turned from light blonde to grey while the rest of my beard stayed brown. Have some grey hairs around my temples too, but none for the rest.

When you have less hair, there is more melanin to go around :biggrin:

I know a few hard driving computer geeks that have lots of white hair and they are younger than me.

I've had a few freak grey hairs as a kid.

Never had them throughout HS & college.

29 now and got none.
 
29. No grey hair as far as I can tell. I probably have about 10 more years judging by my dad's trajectory.

It's pretty much the only thing I have going for me, if I find grey hair it's probably time for some open wrist surgery.

Oh, why is it spelled "grey" instead of "gray"?
 
I'm getting them very slowly, i'm 31 now and started getting them a year ago. That's the only thing that is making me feel old. Aside from the gray hairs, I feel better now than I did when i was in high school.
 
Haven't got any, though a friend has been going grey from about 21... he's a silver fox now at the ripe old age of about 28...
 
Late 20's I had a few here and there. I'm 33 now and I've got some pretty good patches of grey in my beard along my jaw line and few more spread around my temples & browline on my head.

Coicidentally...my hair greying out seemed to accellerate after my daughter was born.
