how old were you when you started getting grey hairs?

[K7SN]

3Noticed a few at 29 and a lot at 30 in my beard and on my chest and back. By 35 my beard was white. That was almost 40 years ago and my beard is still white but what is left of my hair on the top of my head is still blond.

 

[Ackmed]

40, zero gray so far thankfully. No loss either.

 

[Exterous]

Mid 20s but 7 years later and its only the rare grey. They definitely seem to show up in periods of stress though. I am more vain about balding trends. Only a slight creep up along the side so far and I hope it stays that way

 

[SlitheryDee]

Probably about 29 or so. I'm 32 now and it seems to be accelerating. I'm guessing I'll be completely gray before 40.

About 19 for me. I've had the salt and pepper thing going for the last 15 years. Although recently, I'm finding grey pubes, eyebrows and chest. Bummed...

 

[Viper GTS]

Started at 16. I've been completely gray for quite some time now (33).

As long as it stays at gray I'll be happy. I don't want it to go white, and I don't want to lose it. Gray is good though.

should i bleach my hair blonde like guy fieri?

 

[clamum]

None yet and I'm 32. Started losing it at 17-18 though. :-/ I'd much rather have gray at 17 than f'ing thinning.

 

[bobeedee]

16 years old. I have had totally white hair since age 50 (I am in my 60's).

 

[MarkXIX]

Started when I was around 26 on my head. In the last year or so it has spread to my arms and other places. I just turned 39 a few months back.

 

[Captante]

Late 20's.

 

[HeXen]

I turned 39 and still no grey hairs.

 

[FeuerFrei]

38?

Just on my beard/neck.
(not neckbeard)

 

[eldorado99]

Started at 16 for me but it is going straight to white. It really accelerated in my early 20s and has slowed down since then. I am about 20% white hair I would estimate now. Some showing up in my chest and eyebrows now too. I don't seem to be losing any hair though so as long as all it does is slowly turn white I am OK with it.

 

[TheSlamma]

Never.. red heads hair turns white. That started about 35

 

[JBT]

My hair is dirty blonde and my grey hairs come in as pure white so it's very hard to spot them. I'd estimate around 31 is when my beard and sideburns started getting peppered with them.

Ditto, I don't think they are noticeable by anyone but my wife who started getting grey's in her late 20's.

 

[Imp]

Not there yet... Probably won't know until my pubes start turning. Shaving my head to stubble twice a week -- genetics is helping me "shave" by making the top part bald.

 

[lxskllr]

No idea. I don't spend much time looking at myself. I was shaving once, and thought "Huh. When did that happen?". Pretty much a non event, and I don't remember when, but some time in my 30s I think.

 

[futurefields]

My step dad had genetic heart disease and died of a heart attack at 54 still had a full head of brown hair

 

[walrus]

Had a few when I was 13

 

[ElFenix]

35

 

[shortylickens]

Am 36. Started finding white hairs in my beard last month.

Sad.

 

[PricklyPete]

I just turned 37 and have a few in my beard.

Mid to late teens. Early graying runs in both sides of my family. :|
