very few like 25 or 26. now im salty and pepper, especially on the sides. but definitely runs in the fam. mom has gray hair and dad had white hair, and i'm following my brother to a T.

my little brother, when he was 19 and we were in aruba and he was getting his hair braided, the chick braiding it found his first gray hair.

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.

I turned 38 this past spring and started noticing my first grey hairs around that time.

25. Twenty years later I'm 'distinguished' on the sides. No balding, though.

The same, although mine started coming in in my late 20s. At 32 they're fairly noticeable though.

Patches about the size of a dime or quarter started when I was 10. The fun of vitiligo as a child.

Grey? Mine went straight to white, no middle man bullshit. Started early about 30, I'm almost 40 now and it's barely taken hold thankfully.

I'm 56 and have very few on my scalp. But my beard started to grey in my 30s. My dad was similar; he finally got some salt in his hair in his 60s but his beard was white by his late 40s.

around 30. maybe even 27. Lots on chest, some on back, medium amount on sides of head. More white than grey for sure.

You mean real ones right? Not the random middle of your forehead 4" long ones that pop up out of nowhere overnight?

40. I really don't see them until I get a haircut.

Late teen's/early 20's when I saw my first gray hair. Now it is about 25%. <sad panda>

At least I still have a full set on hair on my head and no balding.

I like grey hair. It looks good on men.

When I was in Korea I rarely ever saw an older man with grey hair. Most men will dye their hair. Even the guys who are going bald.

I have only some grey hairs on the side above my ears. Just like Reed Richards... :cool:
Have them for at least 4 years now.

Found my 1st grey pubic hair last week, It was in a BigMac.....


Other than that baldness started long before any signs of grey
