Is there any actual science to it? Does stress actually cause earlier grey hair, etc

Throw various world leaders into low earth orbit, repeat that process with military generals. Make a global warning to be excellent to each other, or I'd come for them too.

This, basically. (:tvtropes: alert; it's a shame the community is a cesspit, cause that site is really good at explaining things)

I'm 26 and same. I got a cluster of like 10 of them together somewhere on the right side. I haven't seen any more form though in a few years beyond the ones I already have :shrug:

Dunno about science, but I'm a light smoker and a light drinker, and I think those contribute, however minimally.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

I will be 23 in 3 weeks. I just brushed my hair and realized I have a bunch of grays.

Is it legal to have gray hair this young?

My first gray hair was at 15.

It is being racist/dumb. But micro-aggression isn't my term for it at any rate. I think it was BassGuitarHero who clued me in on the concept.

Buzzfeed somehow is relevant.

Basically it's people being racist but in more subtle ways than expected, that basically amounts to a dog-whistle the minority group hears but the majority group doesn't even realize is bad.

It's the main "but I'm not a racist" type of racism you see alot.

Agreed, racist stuff is racist. Some of the stuff on that list was more blatant than others.

Constant obsessing over black people hair is a great example though.

I started graying at the temples when I was in my early 20s. It's less noticeable now that I cut my hair very short and also have less hair to go gray...:smith:

No it's because almost always people coming in and asking "Hey condos are so much cheaper! Should I get one for a few years and then flip it instead of renting???" and the answer is *always* no.

Though yes, that is also a decent goal.

Men beyond a certain age can pull it off. Like maybe you hit 45-50 and want to have wispy poo poo up top, go for it if you're not too far gone. Think Alton Brown or something along those lines. But anything younger than that, yup.
